WHEREAS, the Company wishes to carry out the Plan,
the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this

WHEREAS, the committee of the Company’s Board

incentive for increased efforts during the Optionee’s term of office with the
Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, and has advised the Company
thereof and instructed the undersigned officers to issue said Option.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual

Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s

duties and responsibilities, which continues beyond 15 days after written

page hereto, be an “incentive stock option”, within the meaning of Section 422
of the Code) to purchase Common Stock granted under this Agreement. To the
extent that, for any reason, an Option intended to be an incentive stock option

Section 2.4.  
- Adjustments in Option Pursuant to Merger, Consolidation, etc.

 

(a)                                  Subject to
Sections 8 and 9 of the Plan, in the event that the outstanding shares of the
stock subject to the Option are, from time to time, changed into or exchanged
for a different number or kind of shares of the Company or other securities of
the Company by reason of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization,
reclassification, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, or other
corporate event, the Committee shall make, as appropriate and equitable, an
adjustment in the number and kind of shares and/or the amount of consideration
as to which or for which, as the case may be, such Option, or portions thereof
then unexercised, shall be exercisable and/or, other than in an event that is a
Change of Control, shall pay to the Optionee a dividend in respect of the
shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, in any event in order to allow
the Optionee to participate in such corporate event in an equitable manner. Any
such adjustment made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon the
Optionee, the Company and all other interested persons.

 

(b)                                 Subject to
Sections 8 and 9 of the Plan, in the event of a Change of Control in which all
of the then outstanding Common Stock will be cancelled and converted into the
right to receive a cash payment per share of Common Stock (such cash payment,
the “Change of Control Consideration”), the Committee may, in its discretion,
either: (i) cause the Option (to the extent then outstanding and not
previously exercised) to, effective as of the effective date of such a Change
of Control, be converted into a right to receive a cash payment (payable as
soon as practicable after the Change of Control) equal to the product of (x) the
excess, if any, of (A) the Change of Control Consideration, over (B) the
exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to such Option, multiplied by (y) the
total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Option; or (ii) cause
the Option (to the extent then outstanding and not previously exercised) to,
effective as of the effective date of such a Change of Control, be substituted
for new options to purchase shares of common stock of an acquiring or surviving
entity (or any other entity that may provide for such a substitute award under Section 424
of the Code) (or, to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code,
be substituted for stock appreciation rights settled in cash or other equity or
equity-based awards) that will substantially preserve the otherwise applicable
terms of the Option, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. In
the event that the exercise price of any Option is equal to or greater than the
Change of Control Consideration, such Option shall be automatically cancelled
and have no further force or effect without payment of any consideration in
respect thereof.

 

(c)                                  In the event of
a Change of Control in which Section 2.4(b) hereof does not apply,
the Committee shall take any such other actions as may be in accordance with
Sections 8 and 9 of the Plan and Section 2.4(a) of this Agreement in
connection with the Option, or portions thereof unexercised.

 

(d)                                 All actions
taken by the Committee under this Section 2.4 shall be final and binding
upon the Optionee, the Company and all other interested persons.

(a)                                  Notice in
writing signed by the Optionee or the other person then entitled to exercise
the Option or portion thereof, stating that the Option or portion thereof is
thereby exercised, such notice complying with all applicable rules established
by the Committee;

 

7

 

(b)                                 Full payment
(in cash, by check or by a combination thereof) for the shares with respect to
which such Option or portion thereof is exercised;

 

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

 

(d)                                 Full payment to
the Company of all amounts which, under federal, state or local law, it is
required to withhold upon exercise of the Option; and

 

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

 

In addition to the foregoing, the Optionee may, in
the Committee’s good faith discretion, make payment of the exercise price (as
required in Section 4.3(b) above) in shares of Common Stock that the
Optionee has held for at least six months or otherwise pursuant to an irrevocable
broker loan program established by the Committee; and may also pay any taxes
required to be withheld and paid upon any exercise (as required in Section 4.3(d) above)
pursuant to an irrevocable broker loan program established by the Committee.

 

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

 

Section 4.4.  
- Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates

 

The shares of stock deliverable upon the exercise of
an Option, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but
unissued shares or issued shares, which have then been reacquired by the
Company. Such shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall
not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for shares
of stock 

 

8

 

purchased upon the exercise
of an Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following
conditions:

 

(a)                                  The obtaining
of approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency
which the Committee shall, in its reasonable and good faith discretion,
determine to be necessary or advisable; and

 

(b)                                 The lapse of
such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the
Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative
convenience.

 

Section 4.5.  
- Rights as Stockholder

 

The holder of an Option shall not be, nor have any
of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of any
shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Option or any portion thereof
unless and until certificates representing such shares shall have been issued
by the Company to such holder.
