as herein specified to earn 50% of Farmor's interest in the remainder of the
Cheyenne River Prospect; and the parties have entered into this Agreement to
define their rights and duties in connection with said wells and transfers of
ownership;

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the payment of $10 and other good
and valuable considerations, receipt of which is acknowledged, and the
mutual promises herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

      1. Approval of Timber Draw Unit
         ____________________________
         Farmor agrees that it will use its best efforts to obtain approval
         of the Timber Draw Unit Agreement by the Bureau of Land Management
         prior to December 1, 2000.

      2. Initial Earning Well - Validating Timber Draw Unit
         __________________________________________________
         Farmee agrees that it will, at its sole cost, risk and expense,
         but with the assistance of Farmor, which shall be reimbursed by
         Farmee for expenses incurred, take all actions necessary to obtain
         drilling permits and other orders from the United States  Bureau of
         Land Management and the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation  Commission
         and will drill a well in the Timber Draw Unit as required by Section
         9 of the Timber Draw Unit Agreement at a location approved by  Farmor
         initial Earning Well").  Said well shall be drilled,  and if
         productive in paying quantities, completed for production, within
         such time and in such manner as to satisfy the requirements of
         Section 9 of the Unit Agreement and validate the Unit. Drilling will
         commence by December 15, 2000 or as soon thereafter as a drilling rig
         becomes available.

      3. Unavoidable Delays - Substitute Wells
         _____________________________________
         If, during the drilling of the Initial Earning Well, circumstances
         arise which prevent the drilling of said Well in such a manner as
         to comply with Section 9 of the Unit Agreement and Farmee can
         satisfy the Bureau of Land Management of that fact and obtain
         appropriate extensions of time and other consents necessary to
         permit substituted performance to satisfy the requirements of
         Section 9 of the Unit Agreement, Farmee may drill a substitute
         well or substitute such other performance as may satisfy the
         Bureau of Land Management; provided, however, that a well with a
         horizontal borehole at least 2,000 feet in length in the Newcastle
         and/or Mowry Formations, or such other formation or formations
         as may be agreed upon by Farmor and Farmee, shall be required for
         Farmee to earn rights under this Agreement.  Because Farmor will
         be the Unit Operator of the Timber Draw Unit while the Initial
         Earning Well is being drilled and completed, Farmee will drill
         the well as a sub-operator, subject to the requirements for
         indemnity and bonding hereinafter set forth.

      4. Rights Earned by Farmee From Drilling of Initial Earning Well
         _____________________________________________________________
     	   Prior to commencement of drilling of the Initial Earning Well,
         Farmor will assign to Farmee all of Assignor's operating rights
         in the oil and gas leases covering a 600 acre area which the
         parties estimate will comprise the Initial Participating Area
         under Section 11 of the Timber Draw Unit Agreement if the well
         is deemed to be a Paying Well, reserving, however, to Farmor, an
         overriding royalty interest until Payout (as hereinafter
         defined) equal to the difference between a net revenue interest of
         75% and all existing burdens of royalty, overriding royalty
         and other payments out of production including the overriding
         royalty interests of JBB&T, Lawton Clark and overriding royalty
         interests reserved by owners or their predecessors from whom
         assignment of leases may have been or may be obtained.  Such
         assignment will cover operating rights to all depths.

     	   At Payout, as hereinafter defined, or when the Initial Earning
         Well is plugged and abandoned, whichever occurs first, the
         overriding royalty reserved to Farmor shall terminate and Farmee
         shall reassign to Farmor 100% of the operating rights in the 600
         acre drillsite tract previously assigned by Farmor to Farmee.
         Farmor will thereupon,  upon proof that all costs of the Initial
         Earning Well have been paid and provided that a written request
         for assignment is delivered to Farmor within six months
         following the completion or plugging of the Initial Earning Well,
         assign to Farmee 50% of Farmor's record title interest in and to
         all oil and gas leases in which  Farmor owns an interest within
         that part of  the Cheyenne River Prospect south of a line running
         East and West along the north boundary of the Timber Draw Unit
         and extended East and West to the east and west boundaries
         of the Cheyenne River Prospect as depicted in Exhibit B hereto
         ("South Block").  This assignment shall extend to and cover
         record title to all depths and shall be subject to its
         proportionate share of all existing lease burdens, including
         royalties, overriding royalties (including those of JBB&T, Lawton
         Clark and those to which the leases were subject when  acquired by
         Farmor) and payments out of production to which the leases out
         of which the interests are assigned are subject. "Payout" means
         the point in  time at which Farmee has recovered out of production
         all costs of site preparation, drilling, completing and operating
         the well.

      5. North Block Optional Earning Well
         _________________________________
         Farmee shall have no obligation to drill any wells under this
         Agreement other than the Initial Earning Well, but Farmee shall
         have the right, at its option, within six months after the release
        of the drilling rig from the Initial  Earning Well, to drill an
        additional well ("North Block Optional Earning Well") to earn an
        assignment of 50% of Assignor's interest in the oil and gas leases
        owned by Farmor in that part of the Cheyenne River Prospect outside
        the South Block ("North Block"), subject to existing lease burdens.
        The North Block Optional Earning Well may be drilled at any
        location in the Cheyenne River Prospect, including the South Block
        and the Timber Draw Unit, but must be drilled to and depth
        sufficient to test the Turner or a deeper formation and have a
        horizontal wellbore in a potentially productive formation at least
        2000 feet in length.

     6. Rights Earned by Farmee by Drilling North Block Earning Well
        ____________________________________________________________
        Prior to the commencement of drilling of the North Block Earning Well,
        Farmor will assign to Farmee all of Farmor's operating rights in the
        640 acre  tract which the parties estimate will comprise the
        participating area or expansion (if within the Timber Draw Unit, any
        enlargement of the Timber Draw Unit or another federal unit) or
        drilling and spacing unit for the Well, reserving, however, to the
        Farmor, an overriding royalty interest until Payout (as defined in
        Section 4 above) equal to the difference between a net revenue
        interest of 75% and all existing burdens of royalty, overriding
        royalty and other payments out of production.  If the North Block
        Earning Well is drilled in the South Block, the overriding royalty
        interest reserved by Farmor shall not be reduced by reason of the
        ownership interest of the Farmee in the South Block.

        At Payout, as defined in Section 4 above, or plugging and abandonment,
        whichever occurs first, of the North Block Optional Earning Well, the
        overriding royalty interest received by Farmor shall terminate and
        Farmee shall reassign to Farmor 100% of the operating rights in the
        640 acre drillsite previously assigned by Farmor to Farmee, and,
        provided that a written request for assignment is delivered to Farmor
        within six months following completion or plugging of the North Block
        Optional Earning Well, and upon proof that all of the costs of the
        said Well have been paid, Farmor shall assign to Farmee 50% of
        Farmor's interest in the oil and gas leases in which Farmor owns an
        interest in the South Block.  This assignment shall cover record title
        to all depths and shall be subject to its proportionate share of all
        rentals, royalties, overriding royalties and other payments out of
        production burdening said leases.

     7. Additional Wells
        ________________
        After the Initial Earning Well has been drilled and completed or
        Plugged and Farmee has received assignment of  50% of Farmor's
        interest in the South Block, additional wells other than the North
        Block Optional Earning Well drilled in the South Block shall be
        drilled by the parties pursuant to the Timber Draw Unit Operating
        Agreement if drilled in the Timber Draw Unit or any approved
        enlargement thereof, or if not drilled in  the Timber Draw Unit or
        any approved enlargement thereof or in any other unit which may be
        formed by the parties in the future, shall be drilled pursuant to
        an AAPL Form 610 Joint Operating Agreement to be entered into by the
        Farmor and Farmee when the need arises. The same procedure shall
        apply to the North Block if Farmee earns an interest therein.
        In the event of any conflict between the Unit Operating Agreement or
        Joint Operating Agreement and this agreement, this agreement shall
        prevail.

     8. Operatorship
        ____________
        Farmor shall be the initial Unit Operator of the Timber Draw Unit but
        at such time as Farmee may have earned and received the assignment
        to which it will be entitled as a result of drilling the Initial
        Earning Well, Farmee will succeed Farmor as Unit Operator and will
        assume all duties as Operator of any well which may be drilled in the
        South Block.  If Farmee should earn and receive assignment of 50% of
        Farmor's interest in the North Block, Farmee will assume all duties as
        Operator of any well which may be drilled in the North Block. Upon
        succeeding Farmor as Unit Operator, Farmee will post the bonds with
        the Bureau of Land Management and State of Wyoming required for a unit
        operator so that Farmor's $25,000 cash bond may be replaced.

     9. Area of Mutual Interest - New, Renewal and Extension Leases
        ___________________________________________________________
        By entering into this Agreement, Farmee shall be deemed to have
        agreed to be bound by the provisions of Paragraphs 1 and 2 of the
        Americomm Cheyenne River Prospect Agreement as amended.  Any
        oil and gas lease obtained by Farmee covering lands in the Cheyenne
        River Prospect shall be offered and assigned to Farmor at Farmee's
        cost and any oil and gas lease obtained by Farmor covering lands in
        the Cheyenne River Prospect shall be offered to Farmee at Farmor's
        cost. Farmee shall be deemed to have succeeded  to 1/2 of the rights
        and duties of Farmor under said Paragraph 1E,  and Farmee shall have
        the right to share equally in the working interest in all new,
        renewal and extension leases covering lands in the Prospect and all
        such working interests shall be subject to the overriding royalty
        interests of JBB&T and Lawton Clark.

    10. Prudent Operations - Indemnity - Insurance
        __________________________________________
        Farmee agrees to drill and operate all wells in an efficient and
        workmanlike manner and in strict compliance with the rules and
        regulations of the Bureau of Land Management, the Wyoming
        Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, the Wyoming Department of
        Environmental Quality and all requirements of applicable drilling
        permits and the relevant oil and gas leases, including any special
        stipulations attached to such leases.

        Farmee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Farmor, its officers,
        directors, employees and shareholders, from any and all loss,
        damages and claims, including court costs and attorneys fees incurred
        by or awarded against Farmor, arising out of the acts or omissions of
        Farmee, its contractors, subcontractors and employees, in carrying out
        operations in the Cheyenne River Prospect and Farmee and its
        contractors will at all times carry such insurance and bonds as may
        be required by the Timber Draw Unit Operating Agreement or any
        applicable joint operating agreement with a loss payable clause
        extending coverage to Farmor.  Such insurance shall include at least
        the following minimum coverage:

               A. Workman's compensation insurance in an amount equal
                  to full liability as imposed by the laws of the State of
                  Wyoming.

               B. Employer's liability insurance with a limit of not less
                  than $1 million per occurrence.

               C. Commercial general liability insurance with a single
                  bodily injury or death limit of not less than $1 million
                  per occurrence.

               D. Automobile liability insurance with a limit not less
                  than $1 million per occurrence.

               E. Well control (blowout) insurance in a minimum
                  amount of  $1.5 million.

    11. Preparation for Drilling of Initial Earning Well
        ________________________________________________
        Farmor and Farmee will agree on a drilling block for the Initial
        Earning Well.  It is anticipated that this drilling block will
        Consist of 600 acres of land in Township 39 North, Range 66 West,
        6th P.M., Niobrara County, Wyoming, being the E/2 SE/4, SE/4 NE/4
        of Section 9, the SW/4, S/2 NW/4  of Section 10, the NW/4 of
        Section 15 and the E/2 NE/4  of Section 16 in the Timber Draw
        Unit.  Because all of this land is leased to Farmor, no working
        interest owner other than Farmor will have a right to participate
        in the drilling of this well.

        With the assistance of Farmor who shall be reimbursed by Farmee
        for expenses incurred, Farmee will do the following:

        Farmee will have prepared and furnished to Farmor a drilling title
        opinion covering the lands and leases in the Drilling Block.  If
        the drilling Block agreed upon by Farmor and Farmee is other than
        as set forth above and contains lands as to which the oil and gas
        leasehold or unleased mineral interest is owned by others, such
        owners will be offered an opportunity to participate in the well
        as required by the Timber Draw Unit Agreement and Unit Operating
        Agreement.

        Farmee will cause all curative work required by the drilling title
        opinion to be completed until title to the Drilling Block is
        acceptable to both Farmor and Farmee.  Farmee will obtain and
        pay for an appropriate surface use agreement and releases of
        surface damage claims from the owner of the surface where the
        Initial Earning Well will be spudded, and from the owners of the
        surface of any land which must be traversed to drill and complete
        the well not accessible by public roads.

        Farmee will obtain and pay for a drilling water agreement providing
        for the supply and delivery of water for drilling the Initial
        Earning Well.

        Farmee will prepare and furnish a copy  to Farmor (and other working
        interest owners within the Drilling Block, if any) of an authorization
        for expenditure (AFE) for the Initial Earning Well, estimating the
        cost of drilling and completing the Initial Earning Well, both as a
        producing well and as a dry hole.

        Farmee will prepare and submit for approval to the Bureau of Land
        Management (Newcastle, Wyoming Field Office) an Application for
        Permit to Drill (APD) for the Initial Earning Well.

        Farmee will prepare and submit for approval to the Wyoming Oil and
        Gas Conservation Commission an application for an order approving an
        exception well location for the Initial Earning Well (an exception
        well order is necessary for horizontal wells).

    12. Site Preparation for Initial Earning Well
        _________________________________________
        After approval of the Drilling Permit and exception well application
        and signature of the Surface Use Agreement, Farmee will cause the
        location for the Initial Earning Well to be constructed in strict
        compliance with the requirements of the Drilling Permit and the
        Surface Use Agreement.  Farmee shall be responsible for compliance
        with all requirements of the Permit and the Surface Use Agreement if
        the Initial Earning Well is not completed for production and is
        plugged and abandoned.

    13. Drilling of Initial Earning Well - Waiver of Right to Operate by
        JBB&T
        ________________________________________________________________
        Section 6 of the Americomm Cheyenne River Prospect Agreement
        provided for JBB&T to carry out the functions of Unit Operator for the
        drilling and completion of the first well.  JBB&T and Farmor waive
        this requirement but Farmee agrees that if it decides to employ a
        USA-based drilling supervisor for the well, it will use Directional
        Petroleum Corporation or another directional drilling supervisor
        Approved by Farmor and JBB&T.  Sections 6 and 7 of the Americomm
        Cheyenne River Prospect require Farmor to act as Unit Operator.
        Farmor and JBB&T waive this requirement to the extent that Farmee
        earns working interests under this Agreement, i.e., consent to
        Farmee becoming Unit Operator or Operator as to any lands in which
        Farmee owns an interest under this Agreement.

    14. Sharing of Information - Access to Operations and Reports
        _________________________________________________________
        Farmee shall promptly furnish to Farmor , by fax, or by overnight
        delivery, copies of all reports, records, observations and analyses
        prepared by Farmee and its contractors, and all run tickets, tank
        tables and sales receipts for oil and charts and meter readings for
        gas and receipts for sale of gas and liquids pertaining to the
        drilling, completion and production from the Initial Earning Well
        and the North Block Optional Earning Well until the wells reach
        payout or are plugged and abandoned.  During the period of time
        prior to Payout, Farmee will furnish monthly reports to Farmor
        showing the Payout status of each earning well.  Farmee shall have
        no power to enter into contracts for sale or forward sales of
        production without the consent of Farmor.  Farmor and its officers,
        employees, contractors and consultants, including all individuals
        of JBB&T, shall at any time and all times have access to the
        drilling and completion facilities for these wells while
        drilling and completion operations are underway.  In particular,
        Thomas L. Thompson, a member of JBB&T and Farmor's consulting
        geologist, shall have full access and be kept fully informed
        while such operations are ongoing.  Farmor and all of the individual
        members of JBB&T agree to keep all information which they receive or
        learn concerning the drilling and completion of and production from
        the Initial Earning Well and the North Block Optional Earning Well
        strictly confidential until and unless authorized by Farmee in
        writing to release or disclose the same to anyone. As to wells and
        operations other than for the Initial Earning Well and North Block
        Optional Earning Well, the right to access and reports shall be as
        set forth in the Unit Operating Agreement for the Timber Draw
        Unit or other appropriate unit or the Joint Operating Agreement for
        wells not in  a unit.

   	15. Area of Mutual Interest - Preferential Purchase Rights -
        Limitations on Assignment
        ________________________________________________________
        All of the parties to the Agreement shall be bound by the provisions
        of Paragraphs 1E and 2 of the Americomm Cheyenne River Prospect
        Agreement.  Prior to Farmee earning all rights which it can earn under
        this Agreement,  Farmor shall have the right to assign all or a part
        of its rights under this Agreement as to all of the Cheyenne River
        Prospect or as to the North Block or the South Block, but not as to
        any smaller tract.  Farmee shall have the right to assign its rights
        in this Agreement to no more than three other persons or entities who
        must have previously engaged in oil and gas exploration.  If Farmee's
        interest in this Agreement shall become owned by more than four
        persons or entities, such persons or entities will be required to
        appoint a trustee to represent them and Farmor shall be entitled to
        deal exclusively with such trustee who will be deemed to have been
        irrevocably appointed by such owners as their attorney in fact with
        regard to all of their rights in this Agreement.  Nothing
        in this Section shall be deemed a limitation on the right of any owner
        of any interest in an oil and gas lease which is the subject of this
        Agreement to assign all or part of its interests therein.  Such
        limitations and preferential purchase rights, if any, will be
        contained in the Unit Operating Agreements and Joint Operating
        Agreements which may be entered into among the owners of interests
        in the Cheyenne River Prospect.

    16. Annual Lease Rentals
        ____________________
        Farmee agrees that it will, within thirty days following the date of
        this Agreement, reimburse Farmor for all annual and delay rentals
        which Farmor has paid covering leases in the Cheyenne River Prospect
        beginning with rentals which are due November 1, 2000.  Thereafter,
        Farmee will, each month, reimburse Farmor for rentals paid in that
        month.  Such reimbursements shall continue until the following events
        shall have occurred:

               a. As to the South Block, until Farmee has earned
                  its 50% interest therein.  Thereafter, the parties
                  shall each be responsible for 50% of the rentals on
                  leases covering lands in the South Block.

               b. As to the North Block, until Farmee has earned its
                  50% interest therein or until Farmee delivers to
                  Farmor a release of its rights to earn interest
                  therein, whichever occurs first.  If Farmee earns
                  assignment of a 50% interest in the North Block, the
                  parties shall thereafter each be responsible for
                  50% of the rentals on leases covering lands in the
                  North Block.

        Until such time as Farmee earns assignment of 50% of  Farmor's
        rights in the entire Cheyenne River Prospect, Farmor will pay annual
        and delay rentals and shut-in gas royalty as to all leases in the
        Prospect and Farmee will promptly reimburse Farmor as provided above.
        Farmee will notify Farmor within seven days of shutting in any well.
        the parties agree, however, that Farmor shall have no liability of any
        kind or nature whatsoever for the loss of any lease or leases, whether
        through failure to pay rentals or shut-in gas royalties, or for any
        other reason, even if such a lease is producing or has on it a well
        capable of production.  At such time as Farmor earns assignment of
        50% of Farmor's rights in the entire Prospect, Farmee will become
        responsible for payment of rentals and shut-in gas royalty, subject
        to reimbursement by Farmor of its  proportionate share.

    17. No Warranties
        _____________
        Farmor makes no warranties of any kind or nature whatsoever to
        Farmee concerning any matter, including title to oil and gas leases
        and rights to drill wells and make use of the surface of the lands
        covered by Farmor's oil and gas leases.

    18. Well Takeover
        _____________
        Farmor shall have the right, at its option, to purchase at the
        salvage value of casing and equipment, any well drilled and/or
        completed by Farmee in the Cheyenne River Prospect which Farmee
        desires to plug and abandon.  Said option shall continue for 48
        hours following receipt by Farmor of a notice from Farmee stating
        its intent to plug and abandon a well, which notice shall include
        an inventory of the casing and equipment and the Farmee's estimate
        of its salvage value.  Upon receipt of an assignment of Farmee's
        interest in the well, Farmor shall assume all obligations to plug
        and abandon and reclaim the drillsite of any well which it elects
        to take over.

        deemed to prevent the Farmor and Farmee from entering into a
        partnership for US Federal Income Tax purposes by a separate
        instrument, should they deem it advisable to do so.

    21. Audits
        ______

        and the cost of drilling, production and processing production of

        6th P.M., Niobrara County, Wyoming at a cost of approximately
        $25,000.  If this location is used in the future by the parties for a
        well, Farmee will reimburse Farmor for 50% of these costs, or if used
        as an earning well hereunder, 100% of those costs.

                       HUNGARIAN TELEPHONE AND CABLE CORP.

                     NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN
                        (as amended as of May 25, 2000)

1.  Purpose.  This  Non-Employee  Director  Stock  Option  Plan (the  "Plan") is
intended to promote the interests of Hungarian  Telephone  and Cable Corp.  (the
"Company")  by  providing  an  inducement  to attract and retain the services of
qualified persons who are neither employees nor officers of the Company to serve
as  members  of the  Board  of  Directors  and by  demonstrating  the  Company's
appreciation for their service on the Company's Board of Directors.

2. Options to be Granted.  Under the Plan, Options  ("Options") are granted that
give an optionee  ("Optionee") the right for a specified time period to purchase
a specified  number of shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the
Company (the "Common Stock"). The Option price is determined in each instance in
accordance with the terms of this Plan.

3.  Available  Shares.  The total  number  of  shares of Common  Stock for which
Options may be granted shall not exceed  250,000  shares (the "Option  Shares"),
subject to adjustment in accordance  with Section 13 hereof.  Shares  subject to
the Plan are authorized but unissued  shares or shares that were once issued and
subsequently  reacquired by the Company.  If any Options granted under this Plan
are surrendered before exercise or lapse without exercise,  in whole or in part,
the shares  reserved  therefor  shall revert to the Option pool and again become
available for grant under the Plan.

4.  Administration.  The Plan shall be administered by the  Compensation - Stock
Option  Committee or its successor of the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Committee").  The Committee shall,  subject to the provisions of the Plan, have
the power to construe and interpret the Plan, to resolve all issues  thereunder,
and to adopt and amend such rules and regulations for the  administration of the
Plan as it may deem desirable.

5. Option Agreement. Each Option granted under the provisions of this Plan shall
be  evidenced  by an Option  Agreement,  in such form as may be  approved by the
Committee, which Option Agreement shall be duly executed and delivered on behalf
of the  Company and by the  Optionee to whom such Option is granted.  The Option
Agreement shall contain such terms,  provisions and conditions not  inconsistent
with the Plan as may be determined by the Committee.

6. Eligibility  and  Limitations.  Options  may  be granted pursuant to the Plan
only  to  members  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Company  who  are not
officers or employees of  the  Company or any of its subsidiaries ("Non-Employee
Directors").

<PAGE>

7. Exercise  Price.  The exercise  price for the purchase of stock covered by an
Option  granted  pursuant  to the Plan shall be 100% of the fair  market of such
shares on the day the Option is granted.  The exercise  price will be subject to
adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 hereof.  For purposes
of the Plan, the "fair market value" of a share of Common Stock on any day shall
mean the average of the daily  closing  prices for the prior twenty (20) trading
days of a share of the Company's  Common Stock on the American  Stock  Exchange,
or, if the shares are not listed or admitted to trading on such Exchange, on the
principal  United States  securities  exchange or on the NASDAQ/NMS on which the
shares are listed or  admitted  to  trading,  or if the shares are not listed or
admitted to trading on any such exchange or on the NASDAQ/NMS,  the mean between
the closing  high bid and low asked  quotations  with respect to a share on such
dates  on  the  National  Association  of  Securities  Dealers,  Inc.  Automated
Quotations  System,  or any similar system then in use, or if no such quotations
are  available,  the fair market value on such date of a share as the  Committee
shall determine.

8.  Grant of Option Awards.

         (a) Initial Grant of Options. Each Non-Employee Director of the Company
who is serving in such  capacity on (i) the date of the adoption of this Plan by
the  Board of  Directors  of the  Company  and (ii) the date of the 1997  Annual
Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, is hereby granted without further action
by the Board of Directors or the  Committee,  an Option to purchase 5,000 shares
of Common Stock on the date of the 1997 Annual  Meeting of  Stockholders  of the
Company, which Options shall vest in the Optionee on the date of such grant.

         (b)  Automatic  Annual Grant of Options.  As of the date each year that
any Non-Employee Director is elected or re-elected to serve as a director by the
stockholders of the Company at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company
(beginning  with the 1997 Annual  Meeting of  Stockholders),  each  Non-Employee
Director shall be  automatically  granted without further action by the Board of
Directors or the  Committee an Option to purchase  5,000 shares of Common Stock.
Each  Non-Employee  Director  who is  appointed  (or  elected)  to the  Board of
Directors  after any Annual Meeting of  Stockholders of the Company but prior to
the next  following  Annual  Meeting of  Stockholders  of the  Company  shall be
automatically  granted,  on the date of the first such appointment (or election)
and without further action by the Board of Directors or the Committee, an Option
to purchase a pro-rata  share of 5,000 shares of Common Stock as  determined  by
the Committee  based on the ratio of the number of days actually served from the
date of  appointment  (or  election)  to the date of the next Annual  Meeting of
Stockholders rounded to the nearest whole share. If on any date for the grant of
Options  pursuant  to the Plan the  aggregate  number of shares  then  remaining
available  for Options  under the Plan is less than the number of Option  Shares
which the Plan provides shall be granted on such date,  Options shall be granted
on the  following  basis:  first,  ratably (to the nearest  whole  share) to any
persons  entitled to receive on such date a grant pursuant to the first sentence
of this Section 8(b), up to a maximum grant of 1,000 Option Shares per Optionee;

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

and  second,  ratably  (to  the  nearest  whole share) to any person entitled to
receive  on  such  date  a  grant  pursuant  to  the  second  sentence  of  this
Section 8(b), up to a maximum grant of 1,000 Option Shares per Optionee.

9.  Period  of  Options.  The  Options  granted hereunder shall expire on a date
which  is  ten  years  after  the  date of grant of the Options.  The Plan shall
terminate when all Options granted hereunder have expired or terminated.

10. Exercise of Options. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the
Option  Agreement,  each  Option  granted  hereunder  shall,  to the extent then
exercisable,  be exercisable in whole or in part by giving written notice to the
Company by mail or in person  addressed to Hungarian  Telephone and Cable Corp.,
32 Center Street, Darien, CT 06820, stating the number of shares with respect to
which the  Option is being  exercised,  accompanied  by  payment  in full of the
exercise price for such shares. Upon notification from the Company, the Transfer
Agent shall,  on behalf of the Company,  prepare a certificate  or  certificates
representing  the shares  acquired  pursuant to  exercise  of the Option,  shall
register  the  Optionee  as the owner of such shares on the books of the Company
and shall cause the fully executed certificate(s) representing such shares to be
delivered to the  Optionee as soon as  practicable  after  payment of the Option
price in full.  The  Optionee  shall not have any rights of a  stockholder  with
respect to the shares covered by the Option,  except through the due exercise of
the Option.

11.      Vesting of Shares and Non-Transferability of Option

         (a) Vesting.  Each  automatic  annual grant of any Option granted under
the Plan  pursuant to Section 8(b) shall vest in the  Optionee,  and thus become
exercisable,  at the earlier of (x) the date of the next  Annual  Meeting of the
Stockholders of the Company, or (y) one year from the date of such annual grant.

         If either of the following events shall occur, all Options  theretofore
granted and not fully  exercisable  shall  become  exercisable  in full upon the
happening of such event and shall remain so exercisable  for a period of 60 days
following  such date,  after  which they shall  revert to being  exercisable  in
accordance  with their terms  (provided that no Option which has previously been
exercised or has expired or otherwise terminated shall become exercisable):

                  (i)  a tender  offer  or  exchange  offer for shares of Common
         Stock (other than such an offer by the Company) is commenced, or

                  (ii) the  stockholders  of the  Company  approve an  agreement
         providing  either for a transaction  in which the Company will cease to
         be an independent  publicly-owned  company or for a sale or disposition
         of all or substantially all the assets of the Company.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

         (b) Legend on Certificates. The certificates representing shares issued
upon  exercise  of an Option  shall  carry such  appropriate  legends,  and such
written  instructions  shall be given to the Company's Transfer Agent, as may be
deemed  necessary or advisable by counsel to the Company in order to comply with
the  requirements  of the Securities Act of 1933 or any federal,  state or local
securities laws.

         (c) Non-Transferability.  Any Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall
not be assignable or transferable  other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution,  and shall be exercisable  during the Optionee's  lifetime only by
the Optionee.

12. Termination of Options.

         (a) In the  event an  Optionee  ceases  to be a member  of the Board of
Directors  of the Company  for any reason  other than death or  disability,  any
Options not then exercisable  shall  immediately  terminate and become void. Any
Options which are  exercisable,  but which have not been exercised,  at the time
the Optionee so ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors may be exercised
by the  Optionee  until the earlier of (x) the original  expiration  date of the
Options or (y) eighteen months following the date the Optionee so ceases to be a
member of the Board of Directors.

         (b) In the  event of the  death of an  Optionee  while a member  of the
Board of Directors of the Company or during the relevant  period  referred to in
Section  12(a) hereof,  any Options,  exercisable  at the time of death,  may be
exercised (by the Optionee's  personal  representative,  heir or legatee) during
the period ending one year after the date of such death.  Following the death of
any person to whom an Option was granted under the Plan,  the Committee  may, as
an alternative means of settlement of such Option, elect to pay to the person to
whom  such  Option  is  transferred  by  will  or by the  laws  of  descent  and
distribution  the amount by which the fair market value per share on the date of
exercise  of such  Option  shall  exceed  the  exercise  price  of such  Option,
multiplied  by the number of shares to which such Option is properly  exercised.
Any such  settlement of an Option shall be considered an exercise of such Option
for all purposes of the Plan.

13. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization  and Other Matters.  In the event
that the outstanding  shares of Common Stock are changed into or exchanged for a
different  number or kind of shares of other  securities  of the  Company  or of
another  corporation  by reason of any  reorganization,  merger,  consolidation,
recapitalization  or  reclassification,  or  in  the  event  of a  stock  split,
combination  of  shares  or  dividends  payable  in  capital  stock,   automatic
adjustment  shall  be  made  in the  number  and  kind  of  shares  as to  which
outstanding  Options or portions thereof then  unexercised  shall be exercisable
and in the available  shares set forth in Section 3 hereof,  to the end that the
proportionate  interest  of the  Optionee  shall be  maintained  as  before  the
occurrence of such event.  Such adjustment in outstanding  Options shall be made
without charge in the total price applicable to the unexercised  portion of such
Options and with a corresponding adjustment in the exercise price per share.

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

      If  an  Option  hereunder  shall be assumed,  or a new Option  substituted
therefor,  as a result of sale of the  Company,  whether by a corporate  merger,
consolidation  or sale of property  or stock,  then  membership  on the Board of
Directors of such assuming or substituting corporation,  or a parent corporation
thereof,  shall be  considered  for purposes of the Plan to be membership on the
Board of Directors of the Company.

14.  Delivery and  Registration of Stock.  The Company's  obligations to deliver
shares of Common Stock upon  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 Optionee 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  provision of the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended,  or any
other  Federal,  state or local  securities  laws.  It may be provided  that any
representation  requirements 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 laws. The Company shall not be required
to deliver any shares  under the Plan prior to (i) the  admission of such shares
to listing on a stock exchange 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.

15.  Withholding  Tax.  Where an Optionee or other person is entitled to receive
shares  pursuant to the exercise of an Option  pursuant to the Plan, the Company
shall have the right in its sole  discretion  to require  the  Optionee  or such
