                           CARDINAL DISTRIBUTION, INC.

                          DIRECTORS' STOCK OPTION PLAN
                             AS AMENDED AND RESTATED

SECTION 1. PURPOSE.

      The purpose of the Cardinal Distribution, Inc. Directors' Stock Option
Plan, as Amended and Restated (the "Plan") is to encourage those directors of
Cardinal Distribution, Inc. (the "Company") who are not employees of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company, to
further promote the interest of such directors in the development and financial
success of the Company, and to assist the Company in attracting and retaining
highly qualified directors.

SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN.

      The Plan shall be administered by the Company's Compensation Committee
(the "Committee") which shall consist of not less than three directors of the
Company appointed by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"). The members
of the Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Board, which may remove
members from the Committee or appoint new members to the Committee from time to
time, and members of the Committee may resign by written notice to the Chairman
of the Board or the Secretary of the Company. The Committee may adopt any rules
it considers appropriate for the conduct of its business or the administration
of the Plan, make interpretations of the Plan which it deems consistent with the
Plan's provisions, take any other actions it considers appropriate in connection
with the Plan, and shall have such additional authority as the Board may
determine to be desirable from time to time. The decisions of the Committee on
matters within its jurisdiction under the Plan shall be conclusive and binding.

      No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action or
determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any award under the
Plan. The members of the Committee and other members of the Board shall be
indemnified by the Company against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by
them in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding to which they or any of
them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in
connection with the Plan, or any award granted thereunder, and against all
amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved
by legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a
judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding, except a judgment based upon a
finding of bad faith. Upon the institution of any such action, suit, or
proceeding, the Board or Committee member shall promptly notify the Company in
writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof at
its expense. The provisions of this paragraph with respect to the liability and
indemnification of members of the Board and the Committee are in addition to,
and not in limitation of, the provisions with respect to the liability and
indemnification of members of the Board and the Committee (a) contained in the
Articles of Incorporation or Code of Regulations of the Company, (b) contained
in any indemnification agreements between Directors and the Company, or (c)
provided by law.

SECTION 3. SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN.

      The maximum aggregate number of Common Shares, without par value, of the
Company (the "Shares") allocated to the Plan and available for options shall be
500,000 Shares. Such Shares may be authorized but unissued Shares or issued
Shares reacquired by the Company and held as treasury Shares. If an option for
Shares granted under the Plan expires or terminates, the Shares subject to such
expired or

<PAGE>

terminated option shall again be available to be awarded under the Plan. The
aggregate number of Shares allocated to the Plan shall be subject to adjustment
under Section 6.

SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY.

      Only an individual who is a director of the Company and not an employee of
the Company or any subsidiary of the Company is eligible to participate in this
Plan (each such individual an "Eligible Director").

SECTION 5. REQUIRED TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

      Options to purchase Shares granted under the Plan (an "Option") shall be
Options not intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). All options to
purchase Shares granted under the Plan ("Options") shall be evidenced by a
written agreement in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve,
which shall be dated as of the date on which an Option is granted, signed by an
officer of the Company authorized by the Committee, and signed by the Grantee.
Any such agreements shall be consistent with the Plan and comply with and be
subject to the following terms and conditions:

            (a) Vesting. All Options shall be fully vested on the date of grant.

            (b) Number of Shares. Each individual first elected to serve as a
      director of the Company after the Effective Date of this Plan who is an
      Eligible Director shall, upon such election, automatically be granted
      Options for that number of Shares having a fair market value of $100,000
      (Eligible Directors granted Options hereunder, "Grantees") The fair
      market value of the Shares shall be the last sale price of the Shares as
      reported on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
      Quotation System, National Market Issues, or, if the Shares are listed or
      admitted for trading on any national securities exchange, the last sale
      price, or the closing bid price if no sale occurred, on the date the
      Option is granted. In addition, commencing immediately after the
      adjournment of the Company's annual meeting of shareholders (an "Annual
      Meeting") in 1993 and continuing on an annual basis immediately following
      the adjournment of each succeeding Annual Meeting thereafter during the
      term of this Plan, each Eligible Director whose term did not expire at
      that Annual Meeting and who has then served as a director of the Company
      for a consecutive period of time which includes each of the last three
      Annual Meetings (i.e., including the Annual Meeting then just adjourned)
      shall automatically be granted additional Options for that number of
      Shares having a fair market value of $50,000.

            (c) Option Price. The option price of Shares subject to Options
      shall be the fair market value of the Shares at the time the Option is
      granted. The fair market value of the Shares shall be the last sale price
      of the Shares as reported on the National Association of Securities
      Dealers Automated Quotation System, National Market Issues, or, if the
      Shares are listed or admitted for trading on any national securities
      exchange, the last sale price, or the closing bid price if no sale
      occurred, on the date the Option is granted.

            (d) Maximum Term. No options issued under the Plan may be exercised
      more than ten years from the date of grant.

            (e) Termination of Option. Except as otherwise provided in Section
      7, if a Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Director for any reason, then all
      Options or any unexercised portion of such Options which otherwise are
      exercisable by such Grantee shall terminate unless such Options are
      exercised within six months after the date such Grantee ceases to be an
      Eligible Director (but in

                                       2

<PAGE>

      no event after expiration of the original term of any such Option);
      provided, that if such Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Director by reason
      of such Grantee's death, the six-month period shall instead be a one-year
      period.

            (f) Transferability. No Option shall be transferable by a Grantee
      other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. During the
      lifetime of a Grantee, an Option, by its terms, shall be exercisable
      (subject to any other applicable restrictions on exercise) only by a
      Grantee for his own account. Upon the death of a Grantee, an Option shall
      be exercisable (subject to any other applicable restrictions on exercise)
      only by the executor or administrator of a Grantee's estate.

            (g) Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised from time to time
      by giving written notice to the Treasurer of the Company (the date such
      notice is received by the Company, the "Exercise Date"), stating the
      number of Shares with respect to which an Option is being exercised and
      the time during normal business hours for delivery of the Shares with
      respect to which an Option was exercised, which shall be more than 15 and
      less than 30 days after the Exercise Date. At the specified time, the
      Company shall deliver, at the principal office of the Company, a
      certificate for such Shares to the Grantee upon receipt of payment of the
      full purchase price for such Shares: (i) by certified or bank cashier's
      check, (ii) by delivery of Shares with a fair market value equal to the
      total option price at the time of exercise or (iii) by a combination of
      the proceeding two methods. Any Shares delivered in payment of an option
      price shall be valued as of the Exercise Date.

SECTION 6. CHANGE IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE.

      In the event the Company changes its outstanding Shares by reason of stock
splits, stock dividends, or any other increase or reduction of the number of
outstanding Shares without receiving consideration in the form of money,
services, or property, the aggregate number of Shares subject to the Plan shall
be proportionately adjusted and the number of Shares and the option price for
each Share subject to the unexercised portion of any then-outstanding Option
shall be proportionately adjusted with the objective that the Grantee's
proportionate interest in the Company shall remain the same as before the change
and, with respect to outstanding Options, without any change in the total option
price applicable to the unexercised portion of such Options.

      In the event of any other recapitalization or any merger, consolidation,
or other reorganization of the Company, the Committee shall make such
adjustment, if any, as it may deem appropriate to accurately reflect the number
and kind of Shares deliverable, and the option prices payable, upon subsequent
exercise of any then-outstanding Options.

      The Committee's determination of the appropriate adjustments to be made
under this Section 6 shall be conclusive upon all grantees and other
participants under the Plan.

SECTION 7. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE.

      Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan or in any
agreement in respect of an award under the Plan, upon the discharge of any
Grantee as a director of the Company for cause, all unexercised Options awarded
to such Grantee shall immediately lapse and be of no further force or effect.

SECTION 8. TAX WITHHOLDING.

      The Company shall have the right to require a Grantee who is entitled to
receive Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Option to pay to the Company the
amount of any taxes which the Company is

                                       3

<PAGE>

required to withhold with respect to such Shares, or, in lieu thereof, to
retain, or sell without notice, a number of such Shares sufficient to cover the
amount required to be withheld.

SECTION 9. TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT OF PLAN.

      The Board of Directors of the Company, without further action on the part
of the shareholders, may from time to time alter, amend or suspend the Plan or
may at any time terminate `the Plan, provided that (a) no such action shall
materially and adversely affect any outstanding Options without the consent of
the respective Grantees; (b) the provisions of the Plan governing the matters
set forth in Rule 16b-3(c)(2)(ii)(A) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "1934 Act"), shall not be amended more than once every six
months, except as otherwise permitted under Rule 16b-3(c)(2)(ii)(B) of the 1934
Act; and (c) except for the adjustments provided for in Section 6 hereof, no
amendment may be made solely by Board action if the amendment would (i)
materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan; (ii)
increase or decrease the number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan, or
(iii) materially modify the eligibility requirements of the Plan.

SECTION 10. DELIVERY AND REGISTRATION OF STOCK.

      The Company's obligation to deliver Shares with respect to the exercise of
an Option shall, if the Committee so requests, be conditioned upon the receipt
of a representation as to the investment intention of the Grantee to whom such
Shares are to be delivered, in such form as the Committee shall determine to be
necessary or advisable to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act of
1933 or any other applicable federal or state securities legislation. It may be
provided that any representation requirement shall become inoperative upon a
registration of the Shares or other action eliminating the necessity of such
representation under such Securities Act or other securities legislation. The
Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares under the Plan prior to (i)
the admission of such Shares to listing on any stock exchange or system on which
Shares may then be listed, and (ii) the completion of such registration or other
qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law, rule or regulation,
as the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable. Each certificate
for Shares issued pursuant to the Plan shall be registered in the name of the
Grantee and shall bear appropriate legend(s) with respect to the restrictions
upon such Shares.

SECTION 11. NO ENLARGEMENT OF RIGHTS.

      The award of Options under the Plan to an Eligible Director shall not
confer any right to such director to continue as a director of the Company and
shall not restrict or interfere in any way with the right of the shareholders of
the Company to terminate such directorship, with or without cause, at any time.

SECTION 12. RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER.

      No Grantee or his executor or administrator shall have any rights of a
shareholder in the Company with respect to the Shares covered by an Option
unless and until a certificate representing such Shares has been duly issued and
delivered to him under the Plan.

SECTION 13. DEFINITION OF SUBSIDIARY.

      The term "subsidiary" when used in the Plan or any Option agreement made
pursuant to the Plan means a subsidiary corporation as defined in Section 424 of
the Code.

                                       4

<PAGE>

SECTION 14. GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS.

      Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan or any agreement made pursuant
to the Plan, the Company's obligations under the Plan and any such agreement
shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such
approvals as may be required by any governmental or regulatory agencies.

SECTION 15. GOVERNING LAW.

      The Plan shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the laws
of the State of Ohio.

SECTION 16. GENDERS AND NUMBERS.

      When permitted by the context, each pronoun used in the Plan includes the
same pronoun in other genders and numbers.

SECTION 17. CAPTIONS.

      The captions of the various sections of the Plan are not part of the
context of the Plan, but are only labels to assist in locating those sections,
and shall be ignored in construing the Plan.

SECTION 18. EFFECTIVE DATE.

      The Plan shall be effective on May 19, 1993 (the "Effective Date"). The
Plan shall be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval and
ratification as soon as practicable but in any event not later than 12 months
after the effective date of the Plan. If the Plan is not approved and ratified
by the shareholders of the Company within 12 months after the effective date of
the Plan, the Cardinal Distribution, Inc. Directors' Stock Option Plan, as
amended, as in effect prior to May 19, 1993, and all Options granted under such
plan shall continue in full force and effect.

      by giving written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number
      of Shares to be purchased. Payment for exercise of an Option may be made
      (i) in cash, (ii) by delivery of Shares already owned by the Grantee
      having a total fair market value on the date of such delivery equal to the
      option exercise price, (iii) by attestation of ownership of such
      already-owned Shares, (iv) by the delivery of cash on the extension of
      credit by a broker-dealer to whom the Grantee has submitted a notice of

      until full payment therefor has been made.

1. Method of Exercise and Payment of Price.

(a) Method of Exercise. At any time when the Option is exercisable under the
Plan and this agreement, the Option may be exercised from time to time by
written notice to the Company, or such other method of exercise as may be
specified by the Company, including without limitation, exercise by electronic
means on the web site of the Company's third-party option plan administrator
(the "Plan Administrator"), which will:

      (i) state the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being
exercised; and

      (ii) if the Option is being exercised by anyone other than Grantee, if not
already provided, be accompanied by proof satisfactory to counsel for the
Company of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option under the
Plan and all applicable laws and regulations.

(b) Payment of Price. The full exercise price for the Option shall be paid to
the Company as provided in the Plan.

2. Transferability. The Option shall be transferable (I) at Grantee's death, by
Grantee by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution, and (II) by
Grantee during Grantee's lifetime, without payment of consideration, to (a) the
spouse, former spouse, parents, stepparents, grandparents, parents-in-law,
siblings, siblings-in-law, children, stepchildren, children-in-law,
grandchildren, nieces or nephews of Grantee, or any other persons sharing
Grantee's household (other than tenants or employees) (collectively, "Family
Members"), (b) a trust or trusts for the primary benefit of Grantee or such
Family Members, (c) a foundation in which Grantee or such Family Members control
the management of assets, or (d) a partnership in which Grantee or such Family
Members are the majority or controlling partners; provided, however, that
subsequent transfers of the transferred Option shall be prohibited, except (X)
if the transferee is an individual, at the transferee's death by the transferee
by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution, and (Y) without
payment of consideration to the individuals or entities listed in subparagraphs
II(a), (b) or (c), above, with respect to the original Grantee. The Human
Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company
(the "Committee") may, in its discretion, permit transfers to other persons and
entities as permitted by the Plan. Neither a transfer under a domestic relations
order in settlement of marital property rights nor a transfer to an entity in
which more than 50% of the voting interests are owned by Grantee or Family
Members in exchange for an interest in that entity shall be considered to be a
transfer for consideration. Within 10 days of any transfer, Grantee shall notify
the Compensation and Benefits department of the Company in writing of the
transfer. Following transfer, the Option shall continue to be subject to the
same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer and,
except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this agreement, references to the
original Grantee shall be deemed to refer to the transferee.

                                       2

<PAGE>

The events of termination of employment of Grantee provided in paragraph 3
hereof shall continue to be applied with respect to the original Grantee,
following which the Option shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the
extent, and for the periods, specified in paragraph 3. The Company shall have no
obligation to notify any transferee of Grantee's termination of employment with
the Company for any reason. The conduct prohibited of Grantee in paragraphs 5
and 6 hereof shall continue to be prohibited of Grantee following transfer to
the same extent as immediately prior to transfer and the Option (or its economic
value, as applicable) shall be subject to forfeiture by the transferee and
recoupment from Grantee to the same extent as would have been the case of
Grantee had the Option not been transferred. Grantee shall remain subject to the
recoupment provisions of paragraphs 5 and 6 of this agreement and tax
withholding provisions of Section 13(d) of the Plan following transfer of the
Option.

3. Termination of Relationship.

(a) Termination by Death. If Grantee's employment by the Company and its
subsidiaries (collectively, the "Cardinal Group") terminates by reason of death,
then, unless otherwise determined by the Committee within 60 days of such death,
any unvested portion of the Option shall vest upon and become exercisable in
full from and after the 60th day after such death. The Option may thereafter be
exercised by any transferee of Grantee, if applicable, or by the legal
representative of the estate or by the legatee of Grantee under the will of
Grantee for a period of one year (or such other period as the Committee may
specify at or after grant or death) from the date of death or until the Grant
Expiration Date, whichever period is shorter.

(b) Termination by Reason of Retirement or Disability. If Grantee's employment
by the Cardinal Group terminates prior to the Grant Vesting Date by reason of
retirement or disability (each as defined in the Plan), then, unless otherwise
determined by the Committee within 60 days of such retirement or disability, a
Ratable Portion (defined below) of the Option will vest on the Grant Vesting
Date. Such "Ratable Portion" shall be an amount equal to the number of Shares
the subject of the Option, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall
be the number of full months between the Grant Date and the date of retirement
or disability, and the denominator of which shall be the number of full months
from the Grant Date to the Grant Vesting Date. The Option may be exercised after
the Grant Vesting Date by Grantee (or any transferee, if applicable) until the
earlier of the fifth anniversary of the date of such retirement or disability or
the Grant Expiration Date (the "Exercise Period"); provided, however, that any
vesting that would otherwise occur during the 60-day period beginning
immediately after such retirement or disability shall not occur until the end of
such 60-day period. If Grantee has at least 15 years of service with the
Cardinal Group at the time of retirement, the Option may be exercised after the
Grant Vesting Date by Grantee (or any transferee, if applicable) until the Grant
Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee dies after retirement
or disability but before the expiration of the Exercise Period, unless otherwise
determined by the Committee within 60 days of such death, the Ratable Portion of
the Option shall vest upon the 60th day after such death, and the Option may be

                                       3

<PAGE>

exercised by any transferee of the Option, if applicable, or by the legal
representative of the estate or by the legatee of Grantee under the will of
Grantee from and after the 60th day after such death, for a period of one year
(or such other period as the Committee may specify at or after grant or death)
from the date of death or until the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever
period is shorter.

(c) Other Termination of Employment. If Grantee's employment by the Cardinal
Group terminates for any reason other than death, retirement or disability
(subject to Section 10 of the Plan regarding acceleration of the vesting of the
Option upon a Change of Control), any unexercised portion of the Option which
has not vested on such date of termination will automatically terminate on the
date of such termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or
after grant or termination, Grantee (or any transferee, if applicable) will have
90 days (or such other period as the Committee may specify at or after grant or
termination) from the date of termination or until the Grant Expiration Date,
whichever period is shorter, to exercise any portion of the Option that is then
vested and exercisable on the date of termination; provided, however, that if
the termination was for Cause, as determined by the Committee, the Option may be
immediately canceled by the Committee (whether then held by Grantee or any
transferee).

4. Restrictions on Exercise. The Option is subject to all restrictions in this
agreement and/or in the Plan. As a condition of any exercise of the Option, the
Company may require Grantee or his or her transferee or successor to make any
representation and warranty to comply with any applicable law or regulation or
to confirm any factual matters (including Grantee's compliance with the terms of
paragraphs 5 and 6 of this agreement or any employment or severance agreement
between any member of the Cardinal Group and Grantee) reasonably requested by
the Company.

5. Triggering Conduct/Competitor Triggering Conduct. As used in this agreement,
"Triggering Conduct" shall include disclosing or using in any capacity other
than as necessary in the performance of duties assigned by the Cardinal Group
any confidential information, trade secrets or other business sensitive
information or material concerning the Cardinal Group; violation of Company
policies, including conduct which would constitute a breach of any of the
Certificates of Compliance with Company Policies and/or the Certificates of
Compliance with Company Business Ethics Policies signed by Grantee; directly or
indirectly employing, contacting concerning employment, or participating in any
way in the recruitment for employment of (whether as an employee, officer,
director, agent, consultant or independent contractor), any person who was or is
an employee, representative, officer or director of the Cardinal Group at any
time within the 12 months prior to the termination of Grantee's employment with
the Cardinal Group; any action by Grantee and/or his or her representatives that
either does or could reasonably be expected to undermine, diminish or otherwise
damage the relationship between the Cardinal Group and any of its customers,
potential customers, vendors and/or suppliers that were known to Grantee; and
breaching any provision of any employment or severance agreement with a member
of the Cardinal Group. As used in this agreement, "Competitor Triggering
Conduct" shall include, either during Grantee's employment or

                                       4

<PAGE>

within one year following Grantee's termination of employment with the Cardinal
Group, accepting employment with or serving as a consultant or advisor or in any
other capacity to an entity that is in competition with the business conducted
by any member of the Cardinal Group (a "Competitor"), including, but not limited
to, employment or another business relationship with any Competitor if Grantee
has been introduced to trade secrets, confidential information or business
sensitive information during Grantee's employment with the Cardinal Group and
such information would aid the Competitor because the threat of disclosure of
such information is so great that, for purposes of this agreement, it must be
assumed that such disclosure would occur.

6. Special Forfeiture/Repayment Rules. For so long as Grantee continues as an
employee with the Cardinal Group and for three years following Grantee's
termination of employment with the Cardinal Group regardless of the reason,
Grantee agrees not to engage in Triggering Conduct. If Grantee engages in
Triggering Conduct during the time period set forth in the preceding sentence or
in Competitor Triggering Conduct during the time period referenced in the
definition of "Competitor Triggering Conduct" set forth in paragraph 5 above,
then:

(a) the Option (or any part thereof that has not been exercised) shall
immediately and automatically terminate, be forfeited, and shall cease to be
exercisable at any time; and

(b) Grantee shall, within 30 days following written notice from the Company, pay
the Company an amount equal to the gross option gain realized or obtained by
Grantee or any transferee resulting from the exercise of such Option, measured
at the date of exercise (i.e., the difference between the market value of the
Shares underlying the Option on the exercise date and the exercise price paid
for such Shares underlying the Option), with respect to any portion of the
Option that has already been exercised at any time within three years prior to
the Triggering Conduct (the "Look-Back Period"), less $1.00. If Grantee engages
only in Competitor Triggering Conduct, then the Look-Back Period shall be
shortened to exclude any period more than one year prior to Grantee's
termination of employment with the Cardinal Group, but including any period
between the time of Grantee's termination and engagement in Competitor
Triggering Conduct. Grantee may be released from Grantee's obligations under
this paragraph 6 if and only if the Committee (or its duly appointed designee)
determines, in writing and in its sole discretion, that such action is in the
best interests of the Company. Nothing in this paragraph 6 constitutes a
so-called "noncompete" covenant. This paragraph 6 does, however, prohibit
certain conduct while Grantee is associated with the Cardinal Group and
thereafter and does provide for the forfeiture or repayment of the benefits
granted by this agreement under certain circumstances, including, but not
limited to, Grantee's acceptance of employment with a Competitor. Grantee agrees
to provide the Company with at least 10 days written notice prior to directly or
indirectly accepting employment with or serving as a consultant or advisor or in
any other capacity to a Competitor, and further agrees to inform any such new
employer, before accepting employment, of the terms of this paragraph 6 and
Grantee's continuing obligations contained herein. No provisions of this
agreement shall diminish, negate or otherwise impact any separate

                                       5

<PAGE>

noncompete or other agreement to which Grantee may be a party, including, but
not limited to, any of the Certificates of Compliance with Company Policies
and/or the Certificates of Compliance with Company Business Ethics Policies;
provided, however, that to the extent that any provisions contained in any other
agreement are inconsistent in any manner with the restrictions and covenants of
Grantee contained in this agreement, the provisions of this agreement shall take
precedence and such other inconsistent provisions shall be null and void.
Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this
agreement are being made for the benefit of the Company in consideration of
Grantee's receipt of the Option, in consideration of employment, in
consideration of exposing Grantee to the Company's business operations and
confidential information, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
adequacy of which consideration is hereby expressly confirmed. Grantee further
acknowledges that the receipt of the Option and execution of this agreement are
voluntary actions on the part of Grantee and that the Company is unwilling to
provide the Option to Grantee without including the restrictions and covenants
of Grantee contained in this agreement. Further, the parties agree and
acknowledge that the provisions contained in paragraphs 5 and 6 are ancillary
to, or part of, an otherwise enforceable agreement at the time the agreement is
made.

7. Right of Set-Off. By accepting this Option, Grantee consents to a deduction
from, and set-off against, any amounts owed to Grantee by any member of the
Cardinal Group from time to time (including, but not limited to, amounts owed to
Grantee as wages, severance payments or other fringe benefits) to the extent of
the amounts owed to the Cardinal Group by Grantee under this agreement.

8. Governing Law/Venue. This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Ohio, without regard to principles of conflicts of law, except to the
extent superceded by the laws of the United States of America. The parties agree
and acknowledge that the laws of the State of Ohio bear a substantial
relationship to the parties and/or this agreement and that the Option and
benefits granted herein would not be granted without the governance of this
agreement by the laws of the State of Ohio. In addition, all legal actions or
proceedings relating to this agreement shall be brought in state or federal
courts located in Franklin County, Ohio and the parties executing this agreement
hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. Grantee acknowledges
that the covenants contained in paragraphs 5 and 6 of this agreement are
reasonable in nature, are fundamental for the protection of the Company's
legitimate business and proprietary interests, and do not adversely affect
Grantee's ability to earn a living in any capacity that does not violate such
covenants. The parties further agree that in the event of any violation by
Grantee of any such covenants, the Company will suffer immediate and irreparable
injury for which there is no adequate remedy at law. In the event of any
violation or attempted violations of the restrictions and covenants of Grantee
contained in this agreement, the Cardinal Group shall be entitled to specific
performance and injunctive relief or other equitable relief, including the
issuance ex parte of a temporary restraining order, without any showing of
irreparable harm or damage, such irreparable harm being acknowledged and
admitted by Grantee, and Grantee hereby waives any

                                       6

<PAGE>

requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such
remedy, without prejudice to the rights and remedies afforded the Cardinal Group
hereunder or by law. In the event that it becomes necessary for the Cardinal
Group to institute legal proceedings under this agreement, Grantee shall be
responsible to the Company for all costs and reasonable legal fees incurred by
the Company with regard to such proceedings. Any provision of this agreement
which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable should be construed or limited in a manner that is valid and
enforceable and that comes closest to the business objectives intended by such
provision, without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining
provisions of this agreement.

9. Action by the Committee. The parties agree that the interpretation of this
agreement shall rest exclusively and completely within the sole discretion of
the Committee. The parties agree to be bound by the decisions of the Committee
with regard to the interpretation of this agreement and with regard to any and
all matters set forth in this agreement. The Committee may delegate its
functions under this agreement to an officer of the Cardinal Group designated by
the Committee (hereinafter the "designee"). In fulfilling its responsibilities
hereunder, the Committee or its designee may rely upon documents, written
statements of the parties or such other material as the Committee or its
designee deems appropriate. The parties agree that there is no right to be heard
or to appear before the Committee or its designee and that any decision of the
Committee or its designee relating to this agreement, including without
limitation whether particular conduct constitutes Triggering Conduct or
Competitor Triggering Conduct, shall be final and binding unless such decision
is arbitrary and capricious.

10. Prompt Acceptance of Agreement. The Option grant evidenced by this agreement
shall, at the discretion of the Committee, be forfeited if this agreement is not
executed by Grantee and returned to the Company within 90 days of the Grant Date
set forth on the first page of this agreement.

11. Electronic Delivery and Consent to Electronic Participation. The Company
may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the
Option grant under and participation in the Plan or future options that may be
granted under the Plan by electronic means. Grantee hereby consents to receive
such documents by electronic delivery and to participate in the Plan through an
on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or
another third party designated by the Company, including the acceptance of
option grants and the execution of option agreements through electronic
signature.

12. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications required
or provided under this agreement to be delivered by Grantee to the Company will
be in writing and will be deemed sufficient if delivered by hand, facsimile,
nationally recognized overnight courier, or certified or registered mail, return
