                 FORM OF 2000 MANAGEMENT STOCKHOLDER'S AGREEMENT

     WHEREAS, this Management Stockholder's Agreement (this "Agreement") is
entered into as of June 6, 2000 (the "BASE DATE") between Amphenol Corporation,
a Delaware Corporation (the "Company"), and Timothy F. Cohane (the "Management
Stockholder") (the Company and the Management Stockholder being hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Parties").

     WHEREAS, the Company has asked certain senior management employees to
purchase a specified number of shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common
Stock") or to agree to retain options awarded under the Company's 1997 Option
Plan or shares of Common Stock to be acquired upon the exercise of such options.
The number of shares of Common Stock or options to be retained as a condition to
receiving an option grant pursuant to the 2000 Option Plan, if any, (the
"Retained Securities") is set forth on Appendix A attached hereto.

     WHEREAS, the Company has granted (and in the future may make additional
grants to) certain key employees of the Company (including the Management
Stockholder) options to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock at a fixed
exercise price per share (the "BASE PRICE") pursuant to the terms of the 2000
Stock Purchase and Option Plan for Key Employees of Amphenol Corporation and
Subsidiaries (the "OPTION PLAN") and the related 2000 Non-Qualified Stock Option
Agreement (the "2000 Options").

     WHEREAS, this Agreement is one of several other agreements ("Other
Management Stockholders' Agreements") which have been, or which in the future
will be, entered into between the Company and other individuals who are or will
be key employees of the Company or one of its subsidiaries (collectively, the
"OTHER MANAGEMENT STOCKHOLDERS").

     NOW THEREFORE, to implement the foregoing and in consideration of the grant
of the Options and of the mutual agreements contained herein, the Parties agree
as follows:

     1.   COMMON STOCK; ISSUANCE OF OPTIONS.

          (a) As requested, the Management Stockholder shall provide the Company
          with appropriate evidence of ownership of the Retained Securities.

          (b) The Company shall have no obligation to sell any Common Stock upon
          the exercise of an option or otherwise to any person who is a resident
          or citizen of a state or other jurisdiction in which the sale of
          Common Stock to him or her would constitute a violation of the
          securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdiction.

          (c) Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth as of
          the Base Date (which Base Date shall be different for future option
          awards, if any), the Company shall issue to the Management Stockholder
          the 2000 Options and the Parties shall execute and deliver to each
          other copies of the 2000 Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement
          concurrently with the issuance of the Options.

     2.   MANAGEMENT STOCKHOLDER'S REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS.

          (a) The Management Stockholder agrees and acknowledges that he will
not, directly or indirectly, offer, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate
or otherwise dispose of (any such act being referred to herein as a "transfer")
any of the Retained Securities or any of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the 2000 Options (the "Option Stock" and collectively with Retained
Securities, the "Stock") unless such transfer compiles with Section 3 of this
Agreement. If the Management Stockholder is an affiliate (as defined under Rule
405 of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Act and as interpreted by
the Board of Directors of the Company) of the Company (an "Affiliate"), the
Management Stockholder also agrees and acknowledges that he will not transfer
any shares of the Stock unless (i) the transfer is pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
rules and regulations in effect thereunder (the "Act"), and in compliance with
applicable provisions of state securities law or (ii) (A) counsel for the
Management Stockholder (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Company) shall have furnished the Company with an opinion, satisfactory in form
and substance to the Company, that no such registration is required because of
the availability of an exemption from registration under the Act and (B) if the
Management Stockholder is a citizen or resident of any country other than the
United States, or the Management Stockholder desires to effect any transfer in
any such country, counsel for the Management Stockholder (which counsel shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company) shall have furnished the Company with an
opinion or other advice reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
Company to the effect that such transfer will comply with the securities laws of
such jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges and
agrees that any of the following transfers are deemed to be in compliance with
the Act and this Agreement and no opinion of counsel is required in connection
therewith: (x) a transfer made pursuant to Sections 4, 8 or 9 hereof, (y) a
transfer upon the death of the Management Stockholder to his executors,
administrators, testamentary trustees, legatees or beneficiaries (the
"Management Stockholder's Estate") or a transfer to the executors,
administrators, testamentary trustees, legatees or beneficiaries of a person who
has become a holder of Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
provided that it is expressly understood that any such transferee shall be bound
by the provisions of this Agreement and (z) a transfer made after the Base Date
in compliance with the federal securities laws to a trust or custodianship the
beneficiaries of which may include only the Management Stockholder, his spouse
or his lineal descendants (a "Management Stockholder's Trust") provided that
such transfer is made expressly subject to this Agreement.

          (b) The certificate (or certificates) representing the Stock shall
bear the following legend:

          "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED,
          SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS
          SUCH TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER
          DISPOSITION COMPLIES WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE 2000 MANAGEMENT
          STOCKHOLDER'S AGREEMENT BETWEEN AMPHENOL CORPORATION ("THE COMPANY")
          AND THE MANAGEMENT STOCKHOLDER NAMED ON THE FACE HEREOF (A COPY OF
          WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY)."

<Page>

                                        3

          (c) The Management Stockholder acknowledges that he has been advised
that (i) the Retained Securities have been registered on Form S-8 or otherwise
under the Act and that the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause
a Registration Statement on Form S-8 covering shares of Common Stock to be
issued pursuant to the exercise of options under the 2000 Option Plan to be
filed by December 6, 2001, (ii) a restrictive legend in the form heretofore set
forth shall be placed on any certificates representing the Stock and (iii) a
notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Company indicating that
the Stock is subject to restrictions on transfer and appropriate stop transfer
restrictions will be issued to the Company's transfer agent with respect to the
Stock. If the Management Stockholder is an Affiliate, the Management Stockholder
also acknowledges that (1) the Option Stock must be held indefinitely and the
Management Stockholder must continue to bear the economic risk of any investment
in the Option Stock unless it is subsequently registered under the Act or an
exemption from such registration is available (2) when and if shares of the
Option Stock may be disposed of without registration in reliance on Rule 144 of
the rules and regulations promulgated under the Act, such disposition can be
made only in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
Rule or (3) if the Rule 144 exemption is not available, public sale without
registration will require compliance with some other exemption under the Act.

          (d) If any shares of the Stock are to be disposed of in accordance
with Rule 144 under the Act or otherwise, the Management Stockholder shall
promptly notify the Company of such intended disposition and shall deliver to
the Company at or prior to the time of such disposition such documentation as
the Company may reasonably request in connection with such sale and, in the case
of a disposition pursuant to Rule 144, shall deliver to the Company an executed
copy of any notice on Form 144 required to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

          (e) The Management Stockholder agrees that, if any shares of the
capital stock of the Company are offered to the public pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Act (other than registration of securities
issued under an employee plan), the Management Stockholder will not effect any
public sale or distribution of any shares of the Stock not covered by such
registration statement from the time of the receipt of a notice from the Company
that the Company has filed or imminently intends to file such registration
statement to, or within 180 days after, the effective date of such registration
statement, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company.

          (f) The Management Stockholder represents and warrants that (i) with
respect to Retained Securities, if any, he has received and reviewed the
document(s) comprising the Prospectus (the "Prospectus") relating to Retained
Securities, if any, and the documents referred to therein, certain of which
documents set forth the rights, preferences and restrictions relating to the
Stock and (ii) he has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional
information or documents and to ask questions and receive answers about such
documents, the Company and the business and prospects of the Company which he
deems necessary to evaluate the merits and risks related to his investment in
the Retained Securities, if any, and to verify the information contained in the
Prospectus and the information received as indicated in this Section 2(f)(ii),
and he has relied solely on such information.

          (g) The Management Stockholder further represents and warrants that
(i) his financial condition is such that he can afford to bear the economic risk
of holding the Retained Securities,

<Page>

                                        4

if any, for an indefinite period of time and has adequate means for providing
for his current needs and personal contingencies, (ii) he can afford to suffer a
complete loss of his or her investment in the Retained Securities, if any, (iii)
he understands and has taken cognizance of all risk factors related to the
purchase of the Retained Securities, if any, including those set forth in the
Prospectus referred to above, and (iv) his knowledge and experience in financial
and business matters are such that he is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of his purchase of the Retained Securities, if any, as contemplated by
this Agreement.

     3.   RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER

          Except for transfers permitted (a) by clause (x), (y) and (z) of
Section 2(a), (b) by a sale of shares of Stock pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Act filed by the Company and (c) pursuant to
the Sale Participation Agreement dated as of June 6, 2000 (the "2000 Sales
Participation Agreement"), the Management Stockholder agrees that he will not
transfer any share of the Stock at any time prior to June 6, 2005. No transfer
of any such shares in violation hereof shall be made or recorded on the books of
the Company and any such transfer shall be void and of no effect.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of
this Section 3 shall lapse and be of no further force and effect upon the
occurrence of a Control Event. For purposes of this Section 3, a "Control Event"
shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as (i) a person or group that is
not the Partnership and NXS (as hereinafter defined), or an affiliate of the
Partnership or NXS, holds a greater percentage of the total outstanding shares
of the Company (on a fully diluted basis) than that held by the Partnership and
NXS (and any of their affiliates) AND (ii) a person or group that is not the
Partnership, NXS (and any of their affiliates) has the ability to elect more
members of the Board of Directors of the Company than the Partnership, NXS or
any of their affiliates.

     4.   THE MANAGEMENT STOCKHOLDER'S SALE OF STOCK AND 2000 OPTIONS UPON THE
          MANAGEMENT STOCKHOLDER'S RETIREMENT, DEATH OR DISABILITY OR IN CASE OF
          CERTAIN TERMINATIONS OF EMPLOYMENT.

          Except as otherwise provided herein, Management Stockholder may not
sell or transfer any Stock prior to June 6, 2005 unless (i) the Management
Stockholder has retired from the Company or its subsidiary at age 65 or over (or
such other age as may be approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company), or (ii) the Management Stockholder dies, or (iii) the
Management Stockholder becomes permanently disabled. In such instances the
Management Stockholder, the Management Stockholder's Estate or a Management
Stockholder's Trust, as the case may be, shall have the right to sell all or any
portion of the shares of Stock then held by the Management Stockholder, the
Management Stockholder's Estate and/or the Management Stockholder's Trust, as
the case may be in an open market transaction free of any continuing
restrictions under this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Management Stockholder shall be deemed to have a "permanent disability" if the
Management Stockholder is unable to engage in the activities required by the
Management Stockholder's job by reason of any medically determined physical or
mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted
or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

          (a) The Company represents and warrants to the Management Stockholder

terms hereof, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

          (b) The Company will file the reports required to be filed by it under
the Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC
thereunder, to the extent required from time to time to enable the Management
Stockholder to sell shares of Stock without registration under the Act within

<Page>

                                        6

regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Notwithstanding anything contained in

     8.   "PIGGYBACK" REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

          (a) The Company will promptly notify the Management Stockholder in
writing (a "Notice") of any proposed registration (a "Proposed Registration")
in connection with any offering of shares of Common Stock held by the
Partnership or NXS or their affiliates. If within 2 business days of the receipt
by the Management Stockholder of such Notice, the Company receives from the
Management Stockholder, the Management Stockholder's Estate or the Management
Stockholder's Trust a written request (a "Request") to register and sell shares
of Stock held by the Management Stockholder, the Management Stockholder's Estate
or the Management Stockholder's Trust (which Request to register and sell will
be irrevocable regardless of the final offering price and underwriters
discounts, unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Management
Stockholder and the Company), shares of Stock will be so registered and sold as
provided in this Section 8; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that for each such registration
statement only one Request, which shall be executed by the Management
Stockholder, the Management Stockholder's Estate or the Management Stockholder's
Trust, as the case may be, may be submitted for all registrable securities held
by the Management Stockholder, the Management Stockholder's Estate or the
Management Stockholder's Trust.

          (b) The maximum number of shares of Stock which will be registered
pursuant to a Request will be the lowest of (i) the number of shares of Stock
then held by the Management Stockholder (which for purposes of this subparagraph
(b) shall include shares held by the Management Stockholder's Estate or a
Management Stockholder's Trust), including all shares of Stock which the
Management Stockholder is then entitled to acquire under an unexercised Option
to the extent then vested and exercisable or (ii) the maximum number of shares
of Stock which the Company can register in the Proposed Registration without
adverse effect on the offering in the view of the managing underwriters (reduced
pro rata with all Other Management Stockholders) as more fully described in
subsection (c) of this Section 8 or (iii) the maximum number of shares which the
Management Stockholder and all Other Management Stockholders (pro rata based
upon the aggregate number of shares of Stock the Management Stockholder and all
Other Management Stockholders have requested to registered) are permitted to
register under the 2000 Registration Rights Agreement.

          (c) If a Proposed Registration involves an underwritten offering and
the managing underwriter advises the Company that, in its opinion, the number of
shares of Stock requested to be included in the Proposed Registration exceeds
the number which can be sold in such offering, so as to be likely to have an
adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the shares of Stock
offered to the public as contemplated by the Company, then the Company will
include in the Proposed Registration (i) first, 100% of the shares of Stock the
Company proposes to sell and (ii) second, to the extent of the number of shares
of Stock requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of
such managing underwriter, can be sold without having the

<Page>

                                        7

adverse effect referred to above, the number of shares of Stock which the
selling stockholders, including without limitation, the Management Stockholder
and Other Management Stockholders, have requested to be included in the Proposed
Registration, such amount to be allocated pro rata among all requesting selling
stockholders on the basis of the relative number of shares of Stock then held by
each such selling stockholders (provided that any shares thereby allocated to
any such selling stockholders that exceed such selling stockholder's request
will be reallocated among the remaining requesting selling stockholders in a
like manner).

          (d) Upon delivering a Request, the Management Stockholder will, if
requested by the Company, execute and deliver a custody agreement and power of
attorney in form and substance satisfactory to the Company with respect to the
shares of Stock to be registered pursuant to this Section 8 (a "CUSTODY
AGREEMENT AND POWER OF ATTORNEY"). The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney
will provide, among other things, that the Management Stockholder will deliver
to and deposit in custody with the custodian and attorney-in-fact named therein
a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Stock (duly endorsed
in blank by the registered owner or owners thereof or accompanied by duly
executed stock powers in blank) and irrevocably appoint said custodian and
attorney-in-fact as the Management Stockholder's agent and attorney-in-fact with
full power and authority to act under the Custody Agreement and Power of
Attorney on the Management Stockholder's behalf with respect to the matters
specified therein.

          (e) The Management Stockholder agrees that he or she will execute such
other agreements as the Company may reasonably request to further evidence the
provisions of this Section 8.

          (f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee
acting in its sole discretion may elect not to notify any Management Stockholder
of a Proposed Registration or may elect not to include any Management
Stockholder's Stock in the Proposed Registration notwithstanding Management
Stockholder's Request and absent an indication from the managing underwriters
that inclusion of such Management Stockholder's Stock in the Proposed
Registration will have an adverse effect on the offering; PROVIDED HOWEVER that
should the Committee elect not to provide notice of a Proposed Registration to
such Management Stockholder or not to include any such Stock in the Proposed
Registration, the Committee shall cause the Company to offer to purchase such
Stock from any such Management Stockholder at the price that the Management
Stockholder would have received had he received notice of and/or elected to
participate in the Proposed Registration.

     9.   RIGHTS TO NEGOTIATE PURCHASE.

          Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the
Company from purchasing shares of Stock or 2000 Options from the Management
Stockholder, at any time, upon such terms and conditions, and for such price, as
may be mutually agreed upon between the Parties.

     10.  NOTICE OF CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY.

          Immediately prior to any transfer of Stock to a Management
Stockholder's Trust, the Management Stockholder shall provide the Company with a

identity of the beneficiaries of the Management

and the portion of any other provisions of this Agreement which incorporate such
provisions shall also terminate and be of no further force and effect if the
Management Stockholder's employment is terminated.

     12.  RECAPITALIZATIONS, ETC.

          The provisions of this Agreement shall apply, to the full extent set
forth herein with respect to the Stock or the 2000 Options, to any and all
shares of capital stock of the Company or any capital stock, partnership units
or any other security evidencing ownership interests in any successor or assign

which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for, or substitution of the Stock
or the 2000 Options, by reason of any stock dividend, split, reverse split,

     20.  COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE; CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

          (a) In consideration of the Company entering into this Agreement with
the Management Stockholder, the Management Stockholder hereby agrees that for so
long as the Management Stockholder is employed by the Company or one of its
subsidiaries and for a period of one year

<Page>

                                       11

thereafter (the "Noncompete Period"), the Management Stockholder shall not,
directly or indirectly, engage in the production, sale or distribution of any
product produced, sold, distributed or which is in development by the Company or
its subsidiaries on the date hereof or during the Noncompete Period anywhere in
the world in which the Company or its subsidiaries is doing business other than
through the Management Stockholder's employment with the Company or any of its
subsidiaries.

          (b) In the event that the Management Stockholder's employment is
terminated by the Management Stockholder for Good Reason or by the Company
without Cause, then as additional required consideration for the Management
Stockholder's covenant not to compete, the Company shall pay the Management
Stockholder salary continuation in an amount equal to 50% of such Management
Stockholder's base salary on the date of the termination of the Management
Stockholder's employment for the Noncompete Period. In the event that the
Management Stockholder's employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries
is terminated by the Management Stockholder without Good Reason or by the
Company with Cause, then the Company shall not be required to pay the Management
Stockholder any additional consideration for the Management Stockholder's
covenant to compete.

          (c) At the Company's option, the Noncompete Period may be extended for
an additional one year period if (i) within nine months of the termination of
the Management Stockholder's employment, the Company gives the Management
Stockholder notice of such extension and (ii) beginning with the first
anniversary of such termination, the Company agrees to continue to pay the
Management Stockholder salary continuation an amount equal to 50% of the
Management Stockholder's base salary. Each amount referred to in the preceding
two paragraphs shall be paid in installments in a manner consistent with the
then current salary payment policies of the Company. For purposes of this
Agreement, the phrase "directly or indirectly engage in" shall include any
direct or indirect ownership or profit participation interest in such
enterprise, whether as an owner, stockholder, partner, joint venture of
otherwise, and shall include any direct or indirect participation in such
enterprise as a consultant, licensor of technology or otherwise. During the
Noncompete Period the Management Stockholder shall be free to work in any
employment approved by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such approved employment shall not serve to
reduce any payment that the Management Stockholder is receiving pursuant to this
provision.

          (d) The Management Stockholder will not disclose or use at any time
any Confidential Information (as defined below) of which the Management
Stockholder is or becomes aware, whether or not such information is developed by
him, except to the extent that such disclosure or use is directly related to and
required by the Management Stockholder's performance of duties, if any, assigned
to the Management Stockholder by the Company. As used in this Agreement, the
term "Confidential Information" means information that is not generally known to
the public and that is used, developed or obtained by the Company or its
subsidiaries in connection with its business, including but not limited to (i)
products or services, (ii) fees, costs and pricing structures, (iii) designs,
(iv) computer software, including operating systems, applications and program
listings, (v) flow charts, manuals and documentation, (vi) data bases, (vii)
accounting and business methods, (viii) inventions, devices, new developments,
methods and processes, whether patentable or unpatentable and whether or not
reduced to practice, (ix) customers, vendors and clients and customer, vendors
or client lists, (x) personnel information, (xi) other copyrightable works,
(xii) all technology and trade secrets, and (xiii) all similar and related
information in whatever form. Confidential Information will not include any
information that has been published in a form generally available to the public
prior to the date the Management

<Page>

                                       12

Stockholder proposes to disclose or use such information. The Management
Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that all copyrights, works, inventions,
innovations, improvements, developments, patents, trademarks and all similar or
related information which relate to the actual or anticipated business of the
Company and its subsidiaries (including its predecessors) and conceived,
developed or made by the Management Stockholder while employed by the Company or
its subsidiaries belong to the Company. The Management Stockholder will perform
all actions reasonably requested by the Company (whether during or after
employment with the Company or the Noncompete Period) to establish and confirm
such ownership at the Company's expense (including without limitation
assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments). If the
Management Stockholder is bound by any other agreement with the Company
regarding the use or disclosure of the Confidential Information, the provisions
of this Agreement shall be read in such a way as to further restrict and not to
permit any more extensive use or disclosure of confidential information.

          (e) Notwithstanding clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) above, if at any
time a court holds that the restrictions stated in such clauses (a), (b), (c)
and (d) are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable under circumstances then
existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographic
area determined to be reasonable under such circumstances by such court will be
substituted for the stated period, scope or area. Because the Management
Stockholder's services are unique and because the Management Stockholder has had
access to Confidential Information, the parties hereto agree that money damages
will be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. In the event a
breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or its successors or
assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor,
apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or
injunctive relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the
provisions hereof (without the posting of a bond or other security).

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Agreement as of the date
first above written.

<S>                                                            <C>
After the first anniversary
 of the Trigger Date                                            20%

After the second anniversary
 of the Trigger Date                                            40%

After the third anniversary
 of the Trigger Date                                            60%

After the fourth anniversary
 of the Trigger Date                                            80%

 of the Trigger Date                                           100%
</Table>

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no Options shall become exercisable
prior to the time the Plan is approved by the Company's stockholders, and (y)
subject to the immediately preceding clause (x), the Options shall become
immediately exercisable as to 100% of the shares of Common Stock subject to such
Options immediately prior to a Change of Control (but only to the extent such
Options have not otherwise terminated or become exercisable). The sale or
disposition of a division, business segment or Subsidiary of the Company shall
NOT cause Options to become immediately exercisable. Pursuant to the authority
granted to it in Section 5.1, the Committee shall decide what, if any, options
shall become exercisable and when any such Options must be exercised upon the
sale or disposition of a division, business segment or Subsidiary of the
Company.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall become exercisable as
to any additional shares of Common Stock following the termination of employment
of the Optionee for any reason other than a termination of employment because of
death, Retirement or Permanent Disability of the Optionee, and any Option (other
than as provided in the next succeeding sentence) which is non-exercisable as of
the Optionee's termination of employment shall be immediately cancelled. In the
event of termination of employment because of death, Retirement or Permanent
Disability of the Optionee and provided that the Optionee has been employed for
at least three years after June 6, 2000, all Options awarded hereunder shall
become

<Page>

                                        6

three-year period, then Options shall not become exercisable for any additional
shares of Common Stock.

SECTION 3.2 - EXPIRATION OF OPTIONS

     The Options may not be exercised to any extent by the Optionee after the
first to occur of the following events:

     (a) The tenth anniversary of the Grant Date; or

     (b) The first anniversary of the date of the Optionee's termination of
     employment by reason of death, Permanent Disability or Retirement. For
     these purposes, termination of employment shall mean the date on which the
     Optionee ceases working for the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company or
     such later day as the Committee in their discretion deems to be
     appropriate; or

     (c) 90 days after termination of employment of the Optionee for any reason
     other than for death, Permanent Disability or Retirement. For these
     purposes, termination of employment shall mean the date on which the
     Optionee ceases working for the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company or
     such later day as the Committee in their discretion deems to be
     appropriate; or

     (d) If the Committee so elects pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan, the
     effective date of a Transaction; provided, however, that the Committee has
     provided Optionee with a reasonable period of notice prior to the effective
     date of such Transaction in which to exercise Options that have then
     neither been fully exercised nor become unexercisable under this
     Section 3.2.

becomes unexercisable under Section 3.2, be exercised or by any person empowered
to do so under the Optionee's will or under the then applicable laws of descent
and distribution.

SECTION 4.2 - PARTIAL EXERCISE

     Any exercisable portion of an Option or the entire Option, if then wholly

Stock only.

     portion thereof is exercised;

     (c) Full payment (in cash, by check or by a combination thereof) of all
     amounts which, under federal, state or local law, it is required to
     withhold upon exercise of the Option;

     (d) Notwithstanding (b) and (c), if the Option exercise request follows the
     death, Permanent Disability, Retirement, involuntary termination without
     Cause or voluntary termination with Good Reason, the Committee, acting upon
     the recommendation of senior management of the Company may allow, but shall
     not be required to allow, the full payments contemplated by (b) and (c)
     above to be paid with shares of Common Stock or Options of equivalent
     value;

     (e) A bona fide written representation and agreement, in a form
     satisfactory to the Committee, signed by the Optionee or other person then
     entitled to exercise such Option or portion thereof, stating that the
     shares of stock are being acquired for his own account, for investment and
     without any present intention of distributing or reselling said shares or
     any of them except as may be permitted under the Securities Act of 1933, as
     amended (the "Act"), and then applicable rules and regulations thereunder,
     and that the Optionee or other person then entitled to exercise such Option
     or portion thereof will indemnify the Company against and hold it free and
     harmless from any loss, damage, expense or liability resulting to the
     Company if any sale or distribution of the shares by such person is
     contrary to the representation and agreement referred to above; provided,
     however, that the Committee may, in its absolute discretion, take whatever
     additional actions it deems appropriate to ensure the observance and
     performance of such representation and agreement and to effect compliance
     with the Act and any other federal or state securities laws or regulations;
     and

     (f) In the event the Option or portion thereof shall be exercised pursuant
     to Section 4.1 by any person or persons other than the Optionee,
     appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the
     Option.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may require an
opinion of counsel acceptable to it to the effect that any subsequent transfer
of shares acquired on exercise of an Option does not violate the Act, and may
issue stop-transfer orders covering such shares. Share certificates evidencing
stock issued on exercise of this Option shall bear an appropriate legend
referring to the provisions of subsection (e) above and agreements herein. The
written representation and agreement referred to in subsection (e) above shall,
however, not be required if the shares to be issued pursuant to such exercise
have been registered under the Act, and such registration is then effective in
respect of such shares.

     determine to be necessary or advisable; and

     the Option as the Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of
     administrative convenience. Absent such a determination by the Committee,
     20 business days shall be deemed to be a reasonable period of time.

SECTION 4.5 - RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER

such holder.
