                             EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ( the "Agreement") is made as of the first day of
January, 2001, by and between INLAND NORTHWEST BANK, a Washington-state
chartered commercial bank ("Bank") and HOLLY A. AUSTIN ("Employee").

Section 1.  Employment.
            ----------

     1.1    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
Bank employs Employee and Employee agrees to render Employee's exclusive
services to Bank during the Employment Term, as defined in Section 3.1
("Employment Term"), as the Cashier and Secretary of the Bank or in such other
executive position with the same level of compensation and benefits as the Board
of Directors of the Bank may direct.

     1.2    Employee accepts employment and agrees to devote her full business
and professional time and energy to Bank, and to perform her duties and
responsibilities in an efficient, trustworthy and businesslike manner. Employee
shall not render services of a business, professional or commercial nature to
any other person, firm or corporation, whether for compensation or otherwise,
without the written approval of the Bank.

Section 2.  Compensation.
            ------------

     2.1    Fixed salary.  During the Employment Term the Employee shall receive
            ------------
compensation (the "Fixed Salary") payable in equal monthly installments at the
annual rate of $71,176.00.  Any changes in the Fixed Salary  shall be determined
by the Board of Directors of the Bank and shall be effective for the twelve
month period beginning on the first day of January each year. In no event shall
the Fixed Salary for any twelve month period be less than the Fixed Salary
during the preceding twelve month period.

     2.2    Incentive Programs.  In addition to the Fixed Salary provided in
            ------------------
Section 2.1, Bank may pay to Employee from time to time such bonus or other
incentive compensation, in cash or other forms, as the Board of Directors of the
Bank in its judgment may determine and the Employee shall be eligible to
participate in incentive programs for senior management.

     2.3    Expenses.  Bank shall reimburse Employee for all reasonable business
            --------
expenses incurred by Employee in the course of the performance of her duties
that are consistent with the policies and procedures of Bank as in effect from
time to time.  Employee shall submit expense reports with substantiating
vouchers as Bank shall reasonably require; payment of such expenses shall
require approval by another designated officer of Bank.

     2.4    Vacation.  Employee shall be entitled to four (4) weeks paid
            --------
vacation each year worked during the Employment Term as well as holiday pay for
those holidays recognized by the Federal Reserve Bank and the State of
Washington. Vacation time remaining unused at the

                                       1
<PAGE>

end of each year of the Employment Term shall not accrue.

     2.5    Other Benefits. Employee shall be eligible to be a full participant
            --------------
in any pension plan, profit sharing plan, group life, disability, health or
other insurance plan, vision medical plan, dental plan, incentive stock option
plan and any other employee benefit plan or arrangement provided to executive
officers of Bank at Bank's expense.

Section 3.  Term and Termination.
            --------------------

     3.1    Employment Term.  The Employment Term shall commence on the date of
            ---------------
this Agreement and shall not have a fixed period of duration. The Bank has the
right, however, at any time to notify the Employee, in writing, that the Bank
will establish an employment term of one (1) year to commence no earlier than
the day following date of receipt of the notice by the Employee. The notice may
be given without a determination of cause and does not constitute a termination
of this Agreement. The Fixed Salary for the Employee, as then in effect, shall
continue without change until reviewed by the directors for the next twelve
month period in accordance with Section 2.1. The Employment Term, as used in
other sections of this Agreement, shall be either the Employee's continuous
employment or the one (1) year period set forth in the notice.

     3.2    Termination for Illness and Incapacity.  Employee shall receive full
            --------------------------------------
compensation during any period of illness, disability or incapacity during the
Employment Term. Bank may terminate the Employment Term in the event Employee
suffers an illness or incapacity of such character as to substantially disable
her from performing her duties for a period of more than ninety (90) consecutive
days or one hundred eighty (180) days in the aggregate in any twelve-month
period.

     Any payments pursuant to a salary continuation or disability insurance plan
of Bank shall be deducted from any compensation paid to Employee under this
Agreement during the period of her illness, disability or incapacity, but such
deductions shall only be made with respect to payments in the corresponding
periods for which compensation is paid to Employee pursuant to this Agreement.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or abrogate any insurance or
other benefits available to Employee under any present or future salary
continuation or disability insurance plans of Bank.

     3.3    Termination upon Employee's Death.  If Employee dies during the
            ---------------------------------
Employment Term, Bank shall pay to the estate of Employee the compensation
(including a pro rata portion of all incentive compensation to which Employee
may be entitled) which would otherwise accrue or be available to Employee up to
the end of the month in which his death occurred. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall limit or abrogate any insurance or other benefits available to
the Employee.

     3.4    Other Terminations.  This Agreement may also be terminated as
            ------------------
follows:

                                       2
<PAGE>

            (i)     Upon written notice delivered by Employee to Bank;
            (ii)    As Bank and Employee shall mutually agree in writing; or
            (iii)   For Cause, upon written notice from Bank to Employee setting
     forth the "cause" for termination. "Cause" as used in this agreement shall
     mean any one or more of the following:

                    (a)  Disobedience of orders or directives of the Board of
Directors of the Bank, clearly given, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, or interference with the performance by other employees of Bank of
their duties pursuant to such orders or directives, if such disobedience or
interference shall be either (i) of such a nature that no reasonable doubt can
exist as to its material adverse effect on Bank, or (ii) continued after
specific instructions to stop shall have been given by the Board of Directors of
the Bank; or

                    (b)  Material acts of dishonesty related to the business of
Bank or its relationships with employees, suppliers, contractors, customers or
those with whom Bank does business; or

                    (c)  Refusal or failure to furnish significant information
concerning Bank business as clearly and reasonably requested by or under the
authority of the Board of Directors of the Bank or material falsification of
such information; or

                    (d)  Any other action or course of conduct which has or
reasonably will have an adverse effect on Bank or its business or financial
position, if such action or course of conduct shall be either (i) of such a
nature that no reasonable doubt can exist as to its material adverse effect on
Bank, or (ii) continued after specific instructions to stop shall have been
given by or under the specific authority of the Board of Directors of the Bank;
or

                    (e)  Conviction in a court of the United States or of any
state of a felony or serious crime involving acts of Employee constituting
fraud, moral turpitude, intentional dishonesty or similar conduct.

     3.5    Termination by Bank.  Following notice from Bank issued in
            -------------------
accordance with Section 3.1, Bank shall continue to pay Employee her annual
Fixed Salary then in effect in 12 equal monthly installments, on the first day
of each month even if Employee resigns. Employee also shall receive any payments
or benefits which have accrued or to which Employee may be entitled as of the
date of expiration of the employment term in all employee benefit plans and
programs, including bonus and other incentive plans in which employee was
participating on the expiration date.

     3.6    Termination by Employee.  In the event this Agreement is terminated
            -----------------------
by voluntary resignation of the Employee or For Cause, the pay and other
benefits described in Section 3.5 will not be provided. However, if Bank
eliminates Employee's position and assigns Employee to another position and
Employee resigns because of these actions, the Employee will

                                       3
<PAGE>

receive the Fixed Salary for the remainder of the Employment Term. The other
benefits described in Section 3.5 will also be provided. Both payments and
benefits will also be subject to the provisions of Section 5.1.

     3.7    Termination of Obligations.  Upon the termination of this Agreement
            --------------------------

expressly provided) or Employee for future performance arising out of this
Agreement, or the employment shall forthwith terminate; provided, however, that
the provisions of Sections 3.5, 6, 7, and 8 shall not be affected by termination
of this Agreement.

            --------------------------------------

     4.1    Change of Control.  For the purposes of this Section 4, a "Change of
            -----------------
Control" is any event which would be required to be reported as a change in
control in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14a promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), provided
that, without limitation, such a change in control shall be deemed to have
occurred if (i) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at
the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Bank and
any new director whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination for
election by the Bank's shareholder was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
( ) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the
beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was
previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof;
(ii) the shareholders of Northwest Bancorporation, Inc. (the parent company of
the Bank) approve a merger or consolidation of the Bank with any other financial
institution, other than a merger or consolidation of the Bank which would result
in the voting securities of the Bank outstanding immediately prior thereto
continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted
into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 80% of the total voting
power represented by the voting securities of the Bank or such surviving entity
outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or (iii) the
shareholder of the Bank approves a plan of complete liquidation of the Bank or
an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Bank of all or substantially all
of the Bank's assets.

execute an agreement, the consummation of which would result in the occurrence
of a Change of Control; or

            (iii)   The date the Board of Directors of the Bank or Northwest
Bancorporation, Inc. approve a transaction or series of transactions, the

     4.3    Severance Payment.  In the event of Employee's termination for
            -----------------
reasons other than cause during the twelve (12) month period following the
Change of Control Date, Employee will be entitled to a Severance Payment in an
amount equal to her then existing annual Fixed Salary, payable in equal monthly
installments for a twelve (12) month period following the Employee's
termination.

Section 5.  Obligations of Employee upon Termination.
            ----------------------------------------

     5.1    Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any
payments provided for in Sections 3.5 or 3.6 by seeking other employment or
otherwise; provided, however, that the amount of any payments or other benefits
provided for in Section 3.5 shall be reduced by any corresponding payments or
other benefits received by Employee and/or accrued to the benefit of Employee in
respect of the remainder of the Employment Term as the result of earned income
arising from part or full-time employment by another employer or part or full-
time self-employment ("Successor Employer") after the Termination Date.
Employment by a Successor Employer shall not abrogate or limit payments under
this Section 3.5, but shall only result in deduction of amounts received from
the Successor Employer in the corresponding or subsequent periods for which
payments are made under this Section 3.5. However, should Employee and/or a
Successor Employer fail to provide complete and accurate statements of
Employee's compensation and benefits provided by Successor Employer, all
payments and benefits provided for in Section 3.5 shall cease.

     5.2    A material breach of the provisions of Sections 6, 7, 8 and 9 of
this Agreement by Employee shall terminate Bank's obligation to make any
payments pursuant to Section 3.5 from and after the date of such breach.

Section 6.  Nondisclosure.  Employee acknowledges that Bank's financial affairs,
            -------------
contractual arrangements, marketing strategies, business development plans, and
other internal information, plans and policies are valuable, special, and unique
assets of Bank. Employee agrees that (i) during and after the Employment Term
she will not intentionally disclose any such information outside Bank at any
time without the express prior written consent of Bank and (ii) that upon a
termination of her employment with Bank she shall return all confidential
information which shall be in her possession. Bank's obligations under this
Agreement are expressly conditioned upon compliance by Employee with these
obligations.

Section 7.  Services Unique.  Employee acknowledges that the services to be
            ---------------
rendered by her under this Agreement are of a special, unique, unusual,
extraordinary and intellectual character which gives them peculiar value, the
loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an
action at law. It being understood and agreed that a breach by Employee of the
provisions of this Agreement will cause Bank irreparable injury and damage,
Employee expressly agrees that Bank shall be entitled to seek injunctive or
other equitable relief

                                       5
<PAGE>

to prevent or curtail any breach of this Agreement by Employee. Resort to such
equitable relief however, shall not be construed as a waiver of any other rights
or remedies which Bank may have for damages or otherwise.

Section 8.  Remedies.    Bank and Employee will pursue their respective remedies
            --------
under this Agreement as mutually agreed or in a court of law. Without intending
to limit the remedies available to Bank in a court, Employee further agrees that
damages at law will be an insufficient remedy for Bank if Employee violates the
terms of Section 6 and that Bank may apply for injunctive relief in any court of
competent jurisdiction to restrain the breach or the threat of breach of or
otherwise to specifically enforce any of the covenants of Section 6. In the
event of any action arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to court costs and expenses, including such reasonable attorneys' fees
as the court may fix.

Section 9.  Indemnification.  The Board of Directors of the Bank shall authorize
            ---------------
the payment of expenses, including attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by, or
satisfy a judgment or fine rendered or levied against Employee or her estate,
executor, administrator, heirs or devisees in an action brought by a third party
against Employee (whether or not Bank is joined as a party defendant) to impose
a liability or penalty on Employee for any act or omission alleged against
Employee while employed by Bank, and shall reimburse Employee for amounts paid
and expenses reasonably incurred, including attorneys' fees and costs, in
settling any such action or threatened action to the full extent authorized by
the Articles of Incorporation and the laws of the State of Washington; provided,
the Board of Directors determines in good faith that Employee was not grossly
negligent and was acting within the scope of his authority.

Section 10. Waiver.  The waiver by Bank or Employee of a breach of any of the
            ------
provisions of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of
any subsequent breach.

Section 11. Entire Agreement: Successors and Assigns. No Right or Remedy
            ------------------------------------------------------------
Conferred on Others.
-------------------

                1997 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS' STOCK OPTION PLAN

                           Adopted on March 28, 1997
                   Approved by Stockholders on June 9, 1997

                   Approved by Stockholders on June 16, 1999
                           Amended December 14, 2000

1.   Purpose

     (a)  The purpose of the 1997 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan") is to provide a means by which each director of Coinstar, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company") who is not otherwise an employee of the
Company or of any Affiliate of the Company (each such person being hereafter
referred to as a "Non-Employee Director") will be given an opportunity to
purchase stock of the Company.

     (b)  The word "Affiliate" as used in the Plan means any parent corporation
or subsidiary corporation of the Company as those terms are defined in Sections
424(e) and (f), respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
from time to time (the "Code").

     (c)  The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to secure and retain the
services of persons capable of serving as Non-Employee Directors of the Company,
and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the
success of the Company.

2.   Administration

     The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company
(the "Board").

3.   Shares Subject to the Plan

     (a)  Subject to the provisions of paragraph 10 relating to adjustments upon
changes in stock, the stock that may be sold pursuant to options granted under
the Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate Two Hundred Thousand (200,000) shares
of the Company's common stock.  If any option granted under the Plan shall for
any reason
<PAGE>

expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised in full, the stock
not purchased under such option shall again become available for the Plan.

     (b)  The stock subject to the Plan may be unissued shares or reacquired
shares, bought on the market or otherwise.

4.   Eligibility

     Options shall be granted only to Non-Employee Directors of the Company.

5.   Non-Discretionary Grants

     (a)  Each person who is elected or appointed for the first time to be a
Non-Employee Director automatically shall, upon the date of his or her initial
election or appointment to be a Non-Employee Director by the Board or
stockholders of the Company, be granted an option to purchase ten thousand
(10,000) shares of common stock of the Company on the terms and conditions set
forth herein (each, an "Intial Grant").

     (b)  On the date of each Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company,
each person who is then a Non-Employee Director automatically shall be granted
an option to purchase five thousand (5,000) shares of common stock of the
Company on the terms and conditions set forth herein (each, an "Annual Grant");
provided, that if the Non-Employee Director receiving an Annual Grant has not
--------
served for twelve months prior to the date of the Annual Grant, then the number
of shares subject to that Non-Employee Director's option under this paragraph
5(b) shall be equal to the number set forth in the previous sentence, adjusted
by a fraction, the numerator of which fraction shall be equal to the number of
days on which the individual was a Non-Employee Director during the preceding
twelve months and the denominator of which fraction shall be three hundred sixty
five (365), increased to the next higher whole number of shares. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Non-Employee director has received an "Election Grant," as
descried below, the Non-Employee Director shall no longer be eligible to receive
the Annual Grant; provided further, that if a Director received a grant in
connection with the 1999 Annual Meeting of 15,000 shares, such Director shall
not receive an Annual Grant at the 2001 Annual Meeting.

6.   Option Provisions

     Each option shall contain the following terms and conditions:

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

          (a)  The term of each option commences on the date it is granted and,
unless sooner terminated as set forth herein, expires on the date ("Expiration
Date") (10) years from the date of grant.  If the optionee's service as a
Director or as an employee of or consultant to the Company or any Affiliate of
the Company terminates for any reason or for no reason, the option shall
terminate on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the date three (3) months
following the date of termination of service; provided, however, that if such
termination of service is due to the optionee's death, the option shall
terminate on the earlier of the Expiration Date or twelve (12) months following
the date of the optionee's death.  In any and all circumstances, an option may
be exercised following termination of the optionee's service as a Director of
the Company only as to that number of shares as to which it was exercisable on
the date of termination of such service under the provisions of subparagraph
6(e).

          (b)  The exercise price of each option shall be one hundred percent
(100%) of the fair market value of the stock subject to such option on the date
such option is granted.

          (c)  The optionee may elect to make payment of the exercise price
under one of the following alternatives:

               (i)    Payment of the exercise price per share in cash at the
time of exercise; or

               (ii)   Provided that at the time of the exercise the Company's
common stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in the Wall Street Journal,
payment by delivery of shares of common stock of the Company already owned by
the optionee, held for the period required to avoid a charge to the Company's
reported earnings, and owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances
or security interest, which common stock shall be valued at fair market value on
the date preceding the date of exercise; or

               (iii)  Payment by a combination of the methods of payment
specified in subparagraph 6(c)(i) and 6(c)(ii) above.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, this option may be exercised pursuant to a
program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board
which results in the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company prior to the
issuance of shares of the Company's common stock.

          (d)  An option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the
person

                                      -3-

to whom the option is granted only by such person or by his or her guardian or
legal representative, unless otherwise specified in the option, in which case
the option may be transferred upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in
the option, as the Board or the Committee shall determine in its discretion,
including (without limitation) pursuant to a "domestic relations order."
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the person to whom an option is granted may, by
delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company,
designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the optionee, shall
thereafter be entitled to exercise the option.

          (e)  Each Initial Grant and each Annual Grant shall be fully vested
and exercisable at all times. (f)  The Company may require any optionee, or any
person to whom an option is transferred under subparagraph 6(d), as a condition
of exercising any such option:  (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to
the Company as to the optionee's knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the
Company stating that such person is acquiring the stock subject to the option
for such person's own account and not with any present intention of selling or
otherwise distributing the stock.  These requirements, and any assurances given
pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if (i) the issuance of the
shares upon the exercise of the option has been registered under a then-
currently-effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), or (ii), as to any particular requirement, a
determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not
be met in the circumstances under the then-applicable securities laws.

          (g)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an
option may not be exercised unless the shares issuable upon exercise of such
option are then registered under the Securities Act or, if such shares are not
then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance
would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

7.   Covenants of the Company

     (a)  During the terms of the options granted under the Plan, the Company
shall keep available at all times the number of shares of stock required to
satisfy such options.

     (b)  The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or
agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to
issue and sell shares of stock upon exercise of the options granted under the
Plan; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to
register under the

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

Securities Act either the Plan, any option granted under the Plan, or any stock
issued or issuable pursuant to any such option. If the Company is unable to
obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel
for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of stock under
the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue
and sell stock upon exercise of such options.

8.   Use of Proceeds from Stock

     Proceeds from the sale of stock pursuant to options granted under the Plan
shall constitute general funds of the Company.

9.   Miscellaneous

     (a)  Neither an optionee nor any person to whom an option is transferred
under subparagraph 6(d) shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of
the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares subject to such option unless
and until such person has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the option
pursuant to its terms.

     (b)  Nothing in the Plan or in any instrument executed pursuant thereto
shall confer upon any Non-Employee Director any right to continue in the service
of the Company or any Affiliate or shall impair any right of the Company, its
Board or stockholders or any Affiliate to terminate the service of any Non-
Employee Director.

     (c)  No Non-Employee Director, individually or as a member of a group, and
no beneficiary or other person claiming under or through such Non-Employee
Director, shall have any right, title or interest in or to any option reserved
for the purposes of the Plan except as to such shares of common stock, if any,
as shall have been reserved for such Non-Employee Director pursuant to any
previous option grant.

     (d)  In connection with each option made pursuant to the Plan, it shall be
a condition precedent to the Company's obligation to issue or transfer shares to
a Non-Employee Director, or to evidence the removal of any restrictions on
transfer, that such Non-Employee Director make arrangements satisfactory to the
Company to insure that the amount of any federal or other withholding tax
required to be withheld with respect to such sale or transfer, or such removal,
is made available to the Company for timely payment of such tax.

10.  Adjustments Upon Changes in Stock

     (a)  If any change is made in the stock subject to the Plan, or subject to
any option granted under the Plan, without the receipt of consideration by the
Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock
dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating
dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate
structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the
Company), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and maximum
number of shares subject to the Plan, and the outstanding options will be
appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of shares and price per share
of stock subject to such outstanding options.  Such adjustments shall be made by
the Board or the Committee, the determination of which shall be final, binding
and conclusive.  (The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company
shall not be treated as a "transaction not involving the receipt of
consideration by the Company").

     (b)  In the event of: (1) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is
not the surviving corporation; (2) a reverse merger in which the Company is the
surviving corporation but the shares of the Company's common stock outstanding
immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into
other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise; or (3) any
other capital reorganization in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the
shares of the Company entitled to vote are exchanged, the vesting of options
outstanding under the Plan shall accelerate such that each option may be
exercised with respect to 100% of the shares, and the options shall terminate if
not exercised prior to such event.

11.  Amendment of the Plan

     (a)  The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan.
Except as provided in paragraph 10 relating to adjustments upon changes in
stock, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the stockholders of
the Company to the extent stockholder approval is necessary for the Plan to
satisfy any Nasdaq or securities exchange listing requirements.

     (b)  Rights and obligations under any option granted before any amendment
of the Plan shall not be altered or impaired by such amendment unless (i) the
Company requests the consent of the person to whom the option was granted and
(ii) such person consents in writing.

12.  Termination or Suspension of the Plan

     (a)  The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless sooner
terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of its
adoption by the Board.  No options may be granted under the Plan while the Plan
is suspended or after it is terminated.

     (b)  Rights and obligations under any option granted while the Plan is in
effect shall not be altered or impaired by suspension or termination of the
Plan, except with the consent of the person to whom the option was granted.

     (c)  The Plan shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the events
described in Section 10(b) above.

13.  Effective Date of Plan; Conditions of Exercise

     (a)  The Plan shall become effective upon adoption by the Board of
Directors, subject to the condition subsequent that the Plan is approved by the
stockholders of the Company.

     (b)  No option granted under the Plan shall be exercised or exercisable
unless and until the condition of subparagraph 13(a) above has been met.
