     THIS IS TO CERTIFY that 3D Systems Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"COMPANY"), has granted to the employee of the Company named below a
non-statutory stock option (the "OPTION") to purchase shares of the Company's
Common Stock (the "SHARES"), and upon the terms and conditions determined by the
Compensation Committee (the "COMMITTEE") of the Board of Directors of the
Company (the "BOARD"), as follows:

     NAME OF OPTIONEE:              Gary J. Sbona

     ADDRESS OF OPTIONEE:           c/o 3D Systems Corporation

                                    Valencia, CA 91355

     NUMBER OF SHARES: 250,000, provided, however, that the number of shares
subject to this Option shall be earned pro rata over the twelve (12) months
beginning with the Date of Grant. However, if Regent Pacific Management
Corporation's ("Regent Pacific") contract with the Company is terminated without
cause during this twelve-month period, then the entire amount shall be
considered earned upon termination.

     OPTION EXERCISE PRICE:         $ 6.00 per share

     DATE OF GRANT:                 September 9, 1999

     OPTION EXPIRATION DATE:        Five years from the Date of Grant.

     EXERCISE SCHEDULE: The shares earned, as described above, shall be
exercisable with respect to one third (rounded up or down to the nearest whole
number) on each of the first three anniversaries of the Date of Grant: provided,
however, that such option shall fully vest (i) upon the termination of Regent
Pacific by the Company without cause, (ii) should Regent Pacific principals
cease to be associated with the management of the Company or, (iii) upon a
"Change of Control Transaction."

Change of Control Transaction shall mean (i) the consummation of a sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of Company, or (ii) a merger of Company with
or into another corporation in which the stockholders of Company immediately
before the transaction do not own, directly or indirectly, a majority of Company
or the surviving entity immediately following the transaction.

     OUTSIDE OF 1996 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN: The Option has been granted outside
the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan and is not subject to the terms thereof.

     SUMMARY OF OTHER TERMS: This Option is defined in the Stock Option
Agreement (Non-Statutory Stock Option) (the "OPTION AGREEMENT") which is
attached to this Option Certificate (the "CERTIFICATE") as Exhibit D. This
Certificate summarizes certain of the provisions of the Option Agreement for
your information, but is not complete. Your rights are governed by the

                                     Page 1
<PAGE>

Option Agreement, NOT by this summary. The Company strongly suggests that you
carefully review the full Option Agreement prior to signing this Certificate or
exercising the Option.

     Among the terms of the Option Agreement are the following:

     TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT: While the Option terminates on the Option
Expiration Date, it will terminate earlier if you cease to be employed by the
Company or the direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with whom you are
employed. If your employment ends as the result of any of the circumstances
described in the Exercise Schedule, above, the terms of that section shall
apply. If your employment ends due to death, the Option terminates eighteen
months after the date of death, and is exercisable during such eighteen-month
period as to the portion of the Option which had vested prior to the date of
death. If your employment ends due to disability, the Option terminates twelve
months after the date of disability, and is exercisable during such twelve-month
period as to the portion of the Option which had vested prior to the date of
disability. If your employment ends primarily as a result of an act of
misconduct described in Section 4(g) of the Plan, or during the period when your
rights under the Option have been suspended by the Company pursuant to that
Section, the Option will terminate immediately. In all other cases, including
retirement, the Option terminates ninety days after the date of termination of
employment, and is exercisable during such time period as to the portion of the
Option which had vested prior to the date of termination of employment. See
Section 5 of the attached Option Agreement.

     TRANSFER: The Option is personal to you, and cannot be sold, transferred,
assigned or otherwise disposed of to any other person, except upon your death.
See Section 13(d) of the attached Option Agreement.

     EXERCISE: You can exercise the Option (while it is exercisable), in whole
or in part, by delivering to the Company a Notice of Exercise identical to
Exhibit "A" attached to the Option Agreement, accompanied by payment of, or
provision pursuant to the Option Agreement for the payment of, the Exercise
Price for the Shares to be purchased. The Company may require you to submit
certain written assurances to the Company with respect to your status as a
shareholder. The Company will then issue a certificate to you for the Shares you
have purchased. You are under no obligation to exercise the Option. See Section
4 of the attached Option Agreement.

     ADJUSTMENTS UPON RECAPITALIZATION: The Option contains provisions which
affect your rights in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, mergers and
other major corporate reorganizations. See Section 6 of the attached Option
Agreement.

     WAIVER: By signing this Certificate, you will be agreeing to all of the
terms of the Option Agreement, including those not summarized in this
Certificate. You will waive your rights to options or stock which may otherwise
have been promised to you. See Section 7 of the attached Option Agreement.

     WITHHOLDING: The Company may requite you to make any arrangements necessary
to insure the proper withholding of any amount of tax, if any, required to be
withheld by the Company as a result of the exercise of the Option. See Section
10 of the attached Option Agreement.

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
                          (NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTION)

     This STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this "OPTION AGREEMENT") is made and entered
into on the execution date of the Option Certificate to which it is attached
(the "CERTIFICATE"), by and between 3D Systems Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "COMPANY"), and the employee of the Company named in the
Certificate ("OPTIONEE").

     The Board of Directors of the Company (the "BOARD") has authorized the
grant to Optionee of a non-statutory stock option to purchase shares of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "COMMON STOCK"), upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Option Agreement.

     The Company and Optionee agree as follows:

13.  Grant of Option.

     The Company hereby grants to Optionee the right and option (the "OPTION"),
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Option Agreement,
to purchase all or any portion of that number of shares of the Common Stock (the
"SHARES") set forth in the Certificate, at the Option exercise price set forth
in the Certificate (the "EXERCISE PRICE").

14.  Term of Option.

     The Option shall terminate and expire on the Option Expiration Date set
forth in the Certificate, unless sooner terminated as provided herein. In no
event shall the Option be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the
date it was granted.

15.  Exercise Period.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 3(b) and 5 of this Option
Agreement, the Option shall become exercisable (in whole or in part) upon and
after the dates set forth or referred to under the caption "Exercise Schedule"
in the Certificate. The installments shall be cumulative; I.E., the Option may
be exercised, as to any or all Shares covered by an installment, at any time or
times after the installment first becomes exercisable and until expiration or
termination of the Option.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Option
Agreement, the Option may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless and
until any then-applicable requirements of all federal, state and local laws and
regulatory agencies shall have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of
the Company and its counsel. In addition, if the Company believes that Optionee
has committed an act of misconduct, including an act of embezzlement, fraud,
nonpayment of any obligation owed to the Company or any subsidiary, breach of
fiduciary duty or deliberate disregard of the Company's rules resulting in loss,
damage or injury to the Company, any unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets or
confidential information of the Company, any conduct constituting unfair
competition, or the inducement of any customer of the Company to breach a
contract with

<PAGE>

the Company, the Company may suspend the Optionee's rights under the Option
pending a determination by the Board of Directors, which shall have the right,
as therein provided, to terminate the Option.

16.  Exercise of Option.

     There is no obligation to exercise the Option, in whole or in part. The
Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, only by delivery to the Company
of:

     (a) written notice of exercise in form and substance identical to Exhibit
"A" attached to this Option Agreement stating the number of shares of Common
Stock then being purchased (the "PURCHASE SHARES");

     (b) the Exercise Price for each Purchased Share shall be paid in full upon
exercise and shall be payable in cash in United States dollars (including check,
bank draft or money order). The Company will cooperate with any person who
participates in a cashless exercise program of a broker or other agent under
which all or part of the shares received upon exercise of the Option are sold
through the broker or other agent or under which the broker or other agent makes
a loan to such person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exercise of the option
shall not be deemed to occur and no shares of Common Stock will be issued by the
Company upon exercise of the Option until the Company has received payment of
the Exercise Price in full. The date of exercise of an Option shall be
determined under procedures established by the Committee.

17.  Termination of Employment.

     (a) If Employee shall cease to be an employee of the Company, or any direct
or indirect subsidiary of the Company, under any of the circumstances described
in the Option Certificate under the caption "Exercise Schedule" then the terms
of the Option Certificate shall control. To the extent unexercised pursuant to
the option Certificate, the Option shall terminate.

     (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5(a) above, if the Company
believes that Optionee has committed an act of misconduct as described below,
the Company may suspend Optionee's rights under the Option pending a
determination by the Board of Directors of the Company. If the Board of
Directors determines that Optionee has committed an act of embezzlement, fraud,
nonpayment of any obligation owed to the Company or any subsidiary, breach of
fiduciary duty or deliberate disregard of the Company's rules resulting in loss,
damage or injury to the Company, or if an Optionee makes an unauthorized
disclosure of trade secret or confidential information of the Company, engages
in any conduct constituting unfair competition, or induces any customer of the
Company to breach a contract with the Company, neither the Optionee nor his or
her estate shall be entitled to exercise any rights whatsoever with respect to
the Option. In making such determination, the Board of Directors shall act
fairly and shall give the Optionee a reasonable opportunity to appear and
present evidence on his behalf at a hearing before a committee of the Board of
Directors; and if the Optionee is an "employee" under Rule 16a-l(f) of the Rules
and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the determination of the Board of Directors
shall be subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board.

<PAGE>

     (c) If, by reason of death or disability (a "SPECIAL TERMINATING EVENT"),
Employee shall cease to be an employee the Company or any direct or indirect
subsidiary of the Company, then Employee, Employee's executors or administrators
or any person or persons acquiring the Option directly from Employee by bequest
or inheritance, shall have the right to exercise the Option (i) in the event of
Employee's disability, within twelve months following the date of such Special
Terminating Event, or (ii) in the event of Employee's death, within eighteen
months following the date of such Special Terminating Event. The Option may be
exercised following a Special Terminating Event only to the extent exercisable
at the date of the Special Terminating Event. To the extent unexercised at the
end of the period referred to above, the Option shall terminate.

     (d) If Employee shall cease to be an employee of the Company, for any
reason other than those described in subsections (a), (b), (c) of this Section
5, Employee shall have the right to exercise the Option at any time following
such termination until the earliest to occur of (x) 90 days following the date
of such termination and (y) the expiration of the term of this Option as set
forth in Section 2 of this Option Agreement. The Option may be exercised
following such termination only to the extent exercisable as of the date of the
termination. To the extent unexercised at the end of the period referred to
above, the Option shall terminate.

     (e) For purposes of this Option Agreement, "disability" shall mean total
and permanent disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Employee shall not be considered
permanently disabled unless he furnishes proof of such disability in such form
and manner, and at such times, as the Committee may from time to time require.

18.  Adjustments upon Recapitalization.

     In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of the Common Stock or
other securities then subject to this option by reason of any stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation,
combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change, or if the
outstanding securities of the class then subject to this Agreement are exchanged
for or converted into cash, property or a different kind of securities, or if
cash, property or securities are distributed in respect of such outstanding
securities (other than a regular cash divided) then, unless the terms of such
transaction shall otherwise provide, such equitable adjustments shall be made by
the Board, in the Option (including, without limitation, appropriate and
proportionate adjustments to the number and type of shares or other securities
or cash or other property that may be acquired pursuant to exercise of the
Option); and any such adjustments made by the Board shall be final, binding and
conclusive for any and all purposes.

19.  Waiver of Rights to Purchase Stock.

     By signing this Option Agreement, Optionee acknowledges and agrees that
neither the Company nor any other person or entity is under any obligation to
sell or transfer to Optionee any option or equity security of the Company, other
than the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option and any other right or
option to purchase Common Stock which was previously granted in writing to
Optionee by the Committee (or the Board). By signing this Option Agreement,
Optionee specifically waives all rights which he or she may have had prior to
the date of this Option Agreement (other than any other right or option to
purchase Common Stock which was previously

<PAGE>

granted in writing to Optionee by the Committee or the Board) to receive any
option or equity security of the Company.

20.  No Rights as Shareholder.

     Except as provided in Section 6 of this Option Agreement, Optionee shall
have no rights as a shareholder with respect to the Shares until the date of the
issuance to Optionee of a stock certificate or stock certificates evidencing
such Shares. Except as may be provided in Section 6 of this Option Agreement, no
adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in
cash, securities or other property) or distributions or other rights for which
the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued.

21.  Modification.

     The Committee (or the Board) may modify, extend or renew the Option or
accept the surrender of, and authorize the grant of a new option in substitution
for, the Option (to the extent not previously exercised); PROVIDED, that a
modification of the Option shall be effective only with the consent of the
Optionee.

22.  Withholding.

     The Company shall be entitled to require as a condition of delivery of any
Purchased Shares upon exercise of any option that the Optionee agree to remit,
at the time of such delivery or at such later date as the Company may determine,
an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and local withholding tax
requirements relating thereto, and Optionee agrees to take such other action
required by the Company to satisfy such withholding requirements.

23.  Character of Option.

     The Option is not intended to qualify as an "incentive stock option" as
that term is defined in Section 422 of the Code.

24.      General Provisions.

     (a) FURTHER ASSURANCES. Optionee shall promptly take all actions and
execute all documents requested by the Company which the Company deems to be
reasonably necessary to effectuate the terms and intent of this Option
Agreement.

Agreement, NOT by this summary. The Company strongly suggests that you carefully
review the full Option Agreement prior to signing this Certificate or exercising
the Option.

     Among the terms of the Option Agreement are the following:

     TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT: While the Option terminates on the Option
Expiration Date, it will terminate earlier if you cease to be employed by the
Company or the direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with whom you are
employed (transfer of employment from one subsidiary to another will not
constitute termination of employment). If your employment ends due to retirement
or death, the Option terminates eighteen months after the date of retirement or
death, and is exercisable during such eighteen-month period as to the portion of
the Option which had vested prior to the date of retirement or death. If your
employment ends due to disability, the Option terminates twelve months after the
date of disability, and is exercisable during such twelve-month period as to the
portion of the Option which had vested prior to the date of disability. If your
employment ends primarily as a result of an act of misconduct described in
Section 5(b) of the Option Agreement, or during the period when your rights
under the Option have been suspended by the Company pursuant to Section 5 (b),
the Option will terminate immediately. In all other cases, the Option terminates
ninety days after the date of termination of employment, and is exercisable
during such time period as to the portion of the Option which had vested prior
to the date of termination of employment. See Section 5 of the attached Option
Agreement.

     TRANSFER: The Option is personal to you, and cannot be sold, transferred,
assigned or otherwise disposed of to any other person, except upon your death.
See Section 13(d) of the attached Option Agreement.

     EXERCISE: You can exercise the Option (while it is exercisable), in whole
or in part, by delivering to the Company a Notice of Exercise identical to
Exhibit "A" attached to the Option Agreement, accompanied by payment of, or
provision pursuant to the Option Agreement for the payment of, the Exercise
Price for the Shares to be purchased. The Company may require you to submit
certain written reassurances to the Company with respect to your status as a
shareholder. The Company will then issue a certificate to you for the Shares you
have purchased. You are under no obligation to exercise the Option. See Section

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

                          (NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTION)

     This STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this "OPTION AGREEMENT") is made and entered
into on the execution date of the Option Certificate to which it is attached
(the "CERTIFICATE"), by and between 3D Systems Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "COMPANY"), and the Officer of the Company named in the
Certificate ("OPTIONEE").

     The Board of Directors of the Company (the "BOARD") has authorized the
grant to Optionee of a non-statutory stock option to purchase shares of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "COMMON STOCK"), upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Option Agreement.

     The Company and Option agree as follows:

1.   GRANT OF OPTION.

     The Company hereby grants to Optionee the right and option (the "OPTION"),
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Option Agreement,
to purchase all or any portion of that number of shares of the Common Stock (the
"SHARES") set forth in the Certificate, at the Option exercise price set forth
in the Certificate (the "EXERCISE PRICE").

2.   TERM OF OPTION.

     The Option shall terminate and expire on the Option Expiration Date set
forth in the Certificate, unless sooner terminated as provided herein. In no
event shall the Option be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the
date it was granted.

3.   EXERCISE PERIOD.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 3(b) and 5 of this Option
Agreement, the Option shall become exercisable (in whole or in part) upon and
after the dates set forth or referred to under the caption "Exercise Schedule"
in the Certificate. The installments shall be cumulative; i.e., the Option may
be exercised, as to any or all Shares covered by an installment, at any time or
times after the installment first becomes exercisable and until expiration or
termination of the Option.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Option
Agreement, the Option may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless and
until any then applicable requirements of all federal, state and local laws and
regulatory agencies shall have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of
the Company and its counsel. In addition, if the Company believes that Employee
has committed an Act of Misconduct, including an act of embezzlement, fraud,
nonpayment of any obligation owed to the Company or any subsidiary, breach of
fiduciary duty or deliberate disregard of the Company's rules resulting in loss,
damage or injury to the Company, any unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets or
confidential information of the Company, any conduct constituting unfair
competition, or the inducement of any customer of the Company to breach a
contract with

                                     Page 2
<PAGE>

the Company), the Company may suspend the Employee's rights under the Option
pending a determination by the Board of Directors, which shall have the right,
as therein provided, to terminate the Option.

4.   EXERCISE OF OPTION.

     There is no obligation to exercise the Option, in whole or in part. The
Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, only by delivery to the Company
of:

     (a) written notice of exercise in form and substance identical to Exhibit
"A" attached to this Option Agreement stating the number of shares of Common
Stock then being purchased (the "PURCHASED SHARES");

     (b) the Exercise Price for each Purchased Share shall be paid in full upon
exercise and shall be payable in cash in United States dollars (including check,
bank draft or money order); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in lieu of cash the person
exercising the Option may pay the Exercise Price in whole or in part by
delivering to the Company shares of the Common Stock having a fair market value
on the date of exercise of the Option, determined as provided in Section 4(c),
equal to the Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased; except that (i) any
portion of the Exercise Price representing a fraction of a Share shall in any
event be paid in cash and (ii) no shares of the Common Stock which have been
held for less than six months may be delivered in payment of the Exercise Price
of an Option. Delivery of shares may also be accomplished through the effective
transfer to the Company of shares held by a broker or other agent. The Company
will also cooperate with any person who participates in a cashless exercise
program of a broker or other agent under which all or part of the shares
received upon exercise of the Option are sold through the broker or other agent
or under which the broker or other agent makes a loan to such person.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exercise of the Option shall not be deemed to
occur and no shares of Common Stock will be issued by the Company upon exercise
of the Option until the Company has received payment of the Exercise Price in
full. The date of exercise of an Option shall be determined under procedures
established by the Committee.

     (c) If payment is made, in whole or in part, by transfer to the Corporation
of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, the value of such shares shall
be the mean between the following prices, as applicable, for the date as of
which fair market value is to be determined as quoted in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
(or in such other reliable publication as the Company, in its discretion, may
determine to rely upon): (i) if the Common Stock is listed on a United States
securities exchange, the highest and lowest sales prices per share of Common
Stock for such date on the principal United States securities exchange on which
the Common Stock is listed, or (ii) if the Common Stock is not 1isted on any
such exchange, the highest and lowest sales prices per share of the Common Stock
for such date on the Nasdaq National Market or any successor system then in use.
If there are no such sale price quotations for the date as of which fair market
value is to be determined but there are such sale price quotations within a
reasonable period both before and after such date, then fair market value shall
be determined by taking an average of the means between the highest and lowest
sales prices per share of the Common Stock as so quoted on the nearest date
before and the nearest data after the date as of which fair market value is to
be determined. If there are no such sale price quotations on or within a
reasonable period both before and after the date as of which fair market value
is to be determined, then fair market value of the Common Stock shall be the
mean between the bona fide bid and asked prices per share of Common Stock as so
quoted for

                                     Page 2
<PAGE>

such date on Nasdaq, or if none, the average of the means between such bid and
asked prices on the nearest trading date before and the nearest trading date
after the data as of which fair market value is to be determined, if both such
dates are within a reasonable period. If the fair market value of the Common
Stock cannot be determined on the basis set forth above, the Committee shall in
good faith determine the fair market value of the Common Stock as of such date.

     (d) If Employee delivers shares of Common Stock in payment of the Exercise
Price of the Option, as provided in Paragraph 4(b) above, the Employee shall be
automatically granted the additional right and option (the "Reload Option") to
purchase all or any portion of that number of shares of Common Stock equal to
the number of shares of Common Stock so delivered upon exercise of the Option.
Each Reload Option shall (i) have a per Share Exercise Price equal to the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise of the Option to which
such Reload Option relates, determined pursuant to Section 4(c) of this Option
Agreement; (ii) have a term no longer than the remaining term of the Option at
the time of exercise; (iii) become exercisable in full from and after that date
which is six months following its date of grant; and (iv) otherwise have terms
and conditions identical to the Option. The Company shall promptly following the
grant of a Reload Option prepare and deliver to Employee a written option
agreement memorializing the grant of such Reload Option; but the failure to
prepare and deliver such documentation shall not affect the continuing validity
and enforceability of such Reload Option.

5.   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

     (a) If Employee shall cease to be an employee of the Company, or any direct
or indirect subsidiary of the Company, (other than as the result of the transfer
of employment of Employee to another corporation which is the Company, or any
direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company) for any reason other than
retirement, death or permanent disability (a "TERMINATING EVENT"), Employee
shall have the right, subject to the provisions of Section 5(b) below, to
exercise the Option at any time following such Terminating Event until the
earliest to occur of (x) 90 days following the date of such Terminating Event
and (y) the expiration of the term of this Option as set forth in Section 2 of
this Option Agreement. The Option may be exercised following a Terminating Event
only to the extent exercisable as of the date of the Terminating Event. To the
extent unexercised at the end of the period referred to above, the Option shall
terminate. The Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine
whether authorized leaves of absence shall constitute termination of employment
for purposes of this Option Agreement.

     (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5(a) above, if the Company
believes that an Employee has committed an act of misconduct as described below,
the Company may suspend the Employee's rights under the Option pending a
determination by the Board of Directors of the Company. If the Board of
Directors determines that an Employee has committed an act of embezzlement,
fraud, nonpayment of any obligation owed to the Company or any subsidiary,
breach of fiduciary duty or deliberate disregard of the Company's rules
resulting in loss, damage or injury to the Company, or if an Employee makes an
unauthorized disclosure of trade secret or confidential information of the
Company, engages in any conduct constituting unfair competition, or induces any
customer of the Company to breach a contract with the Company, neither the
Employee nor his or her estate shall be entitled to exercise any rights
whatsoever with respect to the Option. In making such determination, the Board
of Directors shall act fairly and shall give the Employee a reasonable
opportunity to appear and present evidence on his or her behalf at a hearing
before a committee of the Board of Directors; and if the Employee is an
"officer" under Rule 16a-1(f) of the

                                     Page 3
<PAGE>

Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the determination of the Board of
Directors shall be subject to the approval of the Committee.

     (c) If, by reason of retirement, death or disability (a "SPECIAL
TERMINATING EVENT"), Employee shall cease to be an employee the Company or any
direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company (other than as the result of the
transfer of employment of Employee to another corporation which is the Company,
or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company), then Employee, Employee's
executors or administrators or any person or persons acquiring the Option
directly from Employee by bequest or inheritance, shall have the right to
exercise the Option (i) in the event of Employee's disability, within twelve
months following the date of such Special Terminating Event, or (ii) in the
event of Employee's retirement, or in the event of Employee's death, within
eighteen months of either Special Terminating Event. The Option may be exercised
following a Special Terminating Event only to the extent exercisable at the date
of the Special Terminating Event. To the extent unexercised at the end of the
period referred to above, the Option shall terminate.

     (d) For purposes of this Option Agreement, "disability" shall mean total
permanent disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Employee shall not be considered permanently
disabled unless he furnishes proof of such disability in such form and manner,
and at such times, as the Committee may from time to time require.

6.   ADJUSTMENTS UPON RECAPITALIZATION.

     In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of the Common Stock or
other securities then subject to this option by reason of any stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation,
combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change, or if the
outstanding securities of the class then subject to this Agreement are exchanged
for or converted into cash, property or a different kind of securities, or if
cash, property or securities are distributed in respect of such outstanding
securities (other than a regular cash divided) then, unless the terms of such
transaction shall otherwise provide, such equitable adjustments shall be made by
the Board, or the Committee, in the Option (including, without limitation,
appropriate and proportionate adjustments to the number and type of shares or
other securities or cash or other property that may be acquired pursuant to
exercise of the Option); and any such adjustments made by the Board or the
Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive for any and all purposes.

7.   WAIVER OF RIGHTS TO PURCHASE STOCK.

     By signing this Option Agreement, Employee acknowledges and agrees that
neither the Company nor any other person or entity is under any obligation to
sell or transfer to Employee any option or equity security of the Company, other
than the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option and any other right or
option to purchase Common Stock which was previously granted in writing to
Employee by the Committee (or the Board). By signing this Option Agreement,
Employee specifically waives all rights which he or she may have had prior to
the date of this Option Agreement (other than any other right or option to
purchase Common Stock which was previously granted in writing to Employee by the
Committee or the Board) to receive any option or equity security of the Company.

                                     Page 4
<PAGE>

8.   NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER.

     Except as provided in Section 6 of this Option Agreement, Employee shall
have no rights as a shareholder with respect to the Shares until the date of the
issuance to Employee of a stock certificate or stock certificates evidencing
such Shares. Except as may be provided in Section 6 of this Option Agreement, no
adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in
cash, securities or other property) or distributions or other rights for which
the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued.

9.   MODIFICATION.

     The Committee (or the Board) may modify, extend or renew the Option or
accept the surrender of, and authorize the grant of a new option in substitution
for, the Option (to the extent not previously exercised); PROVIDED, that a
modification of the Option shall be effective only with the consent of the
Optionee.

10.  WITHHOLDING.

     The Company shall be entitled to require as a condition of delivery of any
Purchased Shares upon exercise of any Option that the Optionee agree to
transmit, at the time of such delivery or at such later date as the Company may
determine, an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and local
withholding tax requirements relating thereto, and Optionee agrees to take such
other action required by the Company to satisfy such withholding requirements.

11.  SERVICES OF OPTION HOLDER.

     In consideration for the grant of the Option, Employee agrees to remain in
the employ of, and shall continue to render services to, the Company or any
direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, as the Committee may from time to
time direct, for a period of one year from the date of this Option Agreement.
This provision shall not obligate the Company, or such subsidiary, to continue
to employ, or utilize the services of, Employee for any period whatsoever. The
sole remedy to the Company should Employee breach his or her obligations under
this Section 11 shall be to cancel this Option Agreement and the Option granted
under this Option Agreement. For the purposes of this Option Agreement, the term
"subsidiary" shall mean any present or future corporation which would be a
"subsidiary corporation" of the Company, as defined in Section 424 of the Code.

12.  CHARACTER OF OPTION.

     The Option is not intended to qualify as an "incentive stock option" as
that term is defined in Section 422 of the Code.

13.  GENERAL PROVISIONS.

     (a) FURTHER ASSURANCES. Employee shall promptly take all actions and
execute all documents requested by the Company which the Company deems to be
reasonably necessary to effectuate the terms and intent of this Option
Agreement.
