                      Company's Restated Stock Option Plan as if the Option had
                      been granted under that plan.

                      time of a Change in Control, as defined below, your Option
                      shall fully vest upon the effective date of the Change in
                      Control, unless the Change in Control is initiated by the
                      Company and you remain employed by the successor
                      corporation in a position of equal rank and responsibility
                      to your position in the Company on the Date of Option
                      Grant.

                      Holding Company, LLC and/or Citicorp Venture Capital Ltd.

                      or (z) any officer, employee or director of the Company or
                      any subsidiary of the Company or any trust, partnership or
                      other entity established solely for the benefit of such
                      officers, employees or directors (any of such persons
                      identified in clauses (x), (y) and (z), a "Permitted
                      Holder"), is or becomes the beneficial owner (as such term
                      is defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange
                      Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 35% of the
                      total voting power of the voting stock of the Company,
                      provided, however, that the Permitted Holders beneficially
                      own (as defined above), directly or indirectly, in the
                      aggregate a lesser percentage of the total voting power of
                      the voting stock of the Company than such other person and
                      do not have the right or ability by voting power, contract
                      or otherwise to elect or designate for election a majority
                      of the board of directors of the Company;

                      (ii) during any period of two consecutive years,
                      individuals who at the beginning of such period
                      constituted the board of directors of the Company
                      (together with any new directors whose election by such
                      board of directors or whose nomination for election by the
                      stockholders of the Company was approved by a vote of a
                      majority of the directors of the Company then still in
                      office who were either directors at the beginning of such
                      period or whose election or nomination for election was
                      previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute
                      a majority of the board of directors of the Company then
                      in office; or

                      (iii) the merger or consolidation of the Company with or
                      into another corporation or entity or the merger of
                      another corporation or entity with or into the Company, or
                      the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the
                      Company to another corporation or entity (in any of such
                      cases, other than a corporation or entity that prior to
                      such merger, consolidation or sale is controlled by
                      Permitted Holders), if the securities of the Company that
                      are outstanding immediately prior to such transaction and
                      which represent 100% of the aggregate voting power of the
                      voting stock of the Company are changed into or exchanged
                      for cash, securities or property, unless pursuant to such
                      transaction such securities are changed into or exchanged
                      for, in addition to any other consideration, securities of
                      the surviving corporation or entity or transferee that
                      represent, immediately after such transaction, at least a
                      majority of the aggregate voting power of the voting stock
                      of the surviving corporation, entity or transferee.

LEAVES OF ABSENCE     For purposes of this Option, your Service does not
                      terminate when you go on a bona fide leave of absence that
                      was approved by the Company in writing, if the terms of
                      the leave provide for continued Service crediting, or when
                      continued Service crediting is required by applicable law.
                      Your Service terminates in any event when the approved
                      leave ends unless you immediately return to active work.

                      The Company determines which leaves count for this
                      purpose, and

<PAGE>
<TABLE>
<S>                   <C>
                      when your Service terminates for all purposes
                      under the Plan.

NOTICE OF EXERCISE    When you wish to exercise this Option, you must notify the
                      Company by filing the proper "Notice of Exercise" form at
                      the address given on the form. Your notice must specify
                      how many Shares you wish to purchase. Your notice must
                      also specify how your Shares should be registered (in your
                      name only or in your and your spouse's names as community
                      property or as joint tenants with right of survivorship).
                      The notice will be effective when it is received by the
                      Company.

                      If someone else wants to exercise this Option after your
                      death, that person must prove to the Company's
                      satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so.

FORM OF PAYMENT       When you submit your notice of exercise, you must include
                      payment of the Option price for the Shares you are
                      purchasing.

                      Payment may be made in one (or a combination) of the
                      following forms:

                      -    Your personal check, a cashier's check or a money
                           order.

                      -    Shares which have already been owned by you for more
                           than six months and which are surrendered to the
                           Company. The value of the Shares, determined as of
                           the effective date of the Option exercise, will be
                           applied to the Option price.

                      -    By delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of
                           an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to
                           sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale
                           proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate
                           exercise price.

WITHHOLDING TAXES     You will not be allowed to exercise this Option unless you
                      make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or
                      other taxes that may be due as a result of the Option
                      exercise or sale of Shares acquired under this Option.

RESTRICTIONS ON       By signing this Agreement, you agree not to exercise this
EXERCISE AND RESALE   Option or sell any Shares acquired under this Option at a
                      time when applicable laws, regulations or Company trading
                      policies prohibit exercise, sale or issuance of Shares.
                      The Company will not permit you to exercise this Option if
                      the issuance of Shares at that time would violate any law
                      or regulation. The Company shall have the right to
                      designate one or more periods of time, each of which shall
                      not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in length, during
                      which this Option shall not be exercisable if the Company
                      determines (in its sole discretion) that such limitation
                      on exercise could in any way facilitate a lessening of any
                      restriction on transfer pursuant to the Securities Act or
                      any state securities laws with respect to any issuance of
                      securities by the Company, facilitate the registration or
                      qualification of any securities by the Company under the
                      Securities Act or any state securities laws,
</TABLE>

                                       4
<PAGE>
<TABLE>
<S>                   <C>
                      or facilitate the perfection of any exemption from the
                      registration or qualification requirements of the
                      Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws for
                      the issuance or transfer of any securities. Such
                      limitation on exercise shall not alter the vesting
                      schedule set forth in this Agreement other than to limit
                      the periods during which this Option shall be exercisable.

                      If the sale of Shares under the Plan is not registered
                      under the Securities Act, but an exemption is available
                      which requires an investment or other representation, you
                      shall represent and agree at the time of exercise that the
                      Shares being acquired upon exercise of this Option are
                      being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the
                      sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other
                      representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by
                      the Company and its counsel.

TRANSFER OF OPTION    You shall not assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell,
                      transfer or encumber this Option. If you attempt to do any
                      of these things, this Option will immediately become
                      invalid. You may, however, dispose of this Option in your
                      will or it may be transferred by the laws of descent and
                      distribution.

                      Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if the Company
                      consents, you may transfer this Option, by gift, to a
                      Family Member. For purposes of this section, "Family
                      Member" is defined to include any child, stepchild,
                      grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse,
                      former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law,
                      father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law,
                      brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive
                      relationships, any person sharing your household (other
                      than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons
                      have more than fifty percent of the beneficial interest, a
                      foundation in which these persons (or you) control the
                      management of assets, and any other entity in which these
                      persons (or you) own more than fifty percent of the voting
                      interests. A Family Member transferee is hereafter
                      referred to as a "Permitted Transferee." Before any such
                      transfer of this Option is effectuated, however, the
                      Company must be notified in advance in writing of the
                      terms and conditions of the proposed transfer and the
                      Company must determine that the proposed transfer complies
                      with applicable law and the requirements of the Plan and
                      this Option. Any purported assignment, alienation, pledge,
                      attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance that does not
                      qualify hereunder shall be void and unenforceable against
                      the Company.

                      The terms of this Option (including the post-termination
                      of Service exercise periods) shall apply to your
                      beneficiaries, executors, administrators and Permitted
                      Transferees (including the beneficiaries, executors and
                      administrators of the Permitted Transferees), including
                      the right to agree to any amendment of this Option, except
                      that Permitted Transferees shall not transfer this Option
                      other than by will or by the laws of descent and
                      distribution. The Company is under no obligation to
                      provide notice to a Permitted Transferee of your

                      the case of a transferred Option, by a Permitted

                      the Company is not obligated to honor a notice of exercise
                      from your spouse, nor is the Company obligated to

                      other way.

                      to be retained by the Company (or any Parent or any
                      Subsidiaries or Affiliates) in any capacity. The Company
                      (or any Parent and any Subsidiaries or Affiliates) reserve
                      the right to terminate your Service at any time.

                      stockholder of the Company until a certificate for your
                      Option's Shares has been issued. No adjustments are made
                      for dividends or other rights if the applicable record
                      date occurs before your stock certificate is issued,
                      except as described in the Plan.

ADJUSTMENTS           In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a
                      similar change in the Company stock, the number of Shares
                      covered by this Option and the exercise price per Share
                      may be adjusted (and rounded down to the nearest whole
                      number) pursuant to the Plan. Your Option shall be subject
                      to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or
                      reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such
                      corporate activity.

                  death, you (or your estate) will have five years from your
                  termination date to exercise your option, unless the option

                  permanently terminating your employment, with no intention of
                  engaging in a full-time job, after reaching age 65, or after
                  reaching age 55 if your age plus your years of service equals
                  65 or more. This definition of retirement is used only for
                  purposes of this agreement.

                  All other cases. If your employment terminates because you
                  quit, or for any other reason other than retirement, permanent
                  disability or death, you (or your estate, if you die within
                  the period) will have 90 days from your termination date to
                  exercise your option, unless the option term ends earlier, in
                  which case you (or your estate) will have until the end of the
                  term to exercise.

                  Regardless of the cause of your termination, you (or your
                  estate) can exercise your option only to the extent it is
                  vested on your termination date.

TRANSFERABILITY   Your option is not transferable except by will or the laws of
                  descent and distribution. During your lifetime only you can
                  exercise your option. This option shall not be subject to
                  attachment or similar process. Any attempted sale, pledge,
                  assignment, transfer or other disposition of your option
                  contrary to the provisions of this agreement, or the levy of
