SECTION 1. STOCK OPTION AWARD.
(a) Stock Option Grant. On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement
and the Plan, the Company grants to the Non-Employee Director on the Grant Date
a Stock Option to purchase a number of shares of Company common stock, par value
$.01, (the "Common Stock") at the Exercise Price, as set forth below. This Stock
Option shall not constitute "incentive stock options" within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
-------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- Shares -------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- Exercise Price -------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- Vesting This Stock Option shall vest and become exercisable upon the earlier of: (A) the first anniversary of the Grant Date and (B) the date of the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company after the Grant Date, provided that the Non-Employee Director continues to serve as a director of the Company on such date. VESTING ACCELERATOR: This Stock Option shall become 100% vested and immediately exercisable in the event of (A) a Change in Control or (B) the termination of the service of a Non-Employee Director by reason of Disability or death. -------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- |
(b) Payment of Exercise Price. The Stock Option Exercise Price may be paid in cash or, in the discretion of the Board, by the delivery of shares of Common Stock then owned by the Non-Employee Director (to be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise), by the withholding of shares of Common Stock for which a Stock Option is exercisable, or by a combination of these methods. The Board may prescribe any other method of paying the exercise price that it determines to be consistent with applicable law and the purpose of the Plan.
(c) Term.
(i) In General. Subject to earlier termination as set forth herein, this Stock Option shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.
(ii) Termination of Directorship (voluntary retirement or failure to be nominated/elected to the Board). In the event that the service of the Non-Employee Director is terminated by reason of (x) voluntary retirement from service as a director of the Company or (y) failure of the Company to nominate for re-election such Non-Employee Director who is otherwise eligible or (z) the failure of such Non-Employee Director to be re-elected by Stockholders following nomination by the Company (in the case of (y) and (z), if such failure to be nominated/elected to the Board was not due to Cause) this Stock Option to the extent vested as of the date of such termination shall expire on the earliest of: (xx) the expiration of the term set forth in Section 1(b)(i) above and (yy) one (1) year after the date of such termination of service.
(iii) Termination of Directorship due to Death or Disability. In the event that the service of the Non-Employee Director is terminated by reason of death or Disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), this Stock Option shall expire on the earliest of: (x) the expiration of the term set forth in Section 1(b)(i) above and (y) one (1) year after the date of such termination of service. Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the service of the Non-Employee Director is terminated by reason of death and this Stock Option has a remaining term of less than one (1) year on such date, the term of this stock option shall automatically be extended to the first anniversary of the date of death.
(iv) Termination of Directorship Due to Any Other Reason Including Cause. In the event that the service of the Non-Employee Director is terminated by any reason other than voluntary retirement, failure to be nominated/elected to the Board without Cause, death or disability, this Stock Option shall no longer be exercisable and shall terminate and be of no further force or effect from and after the date of such termination. For purposes of this agreement, "Cause" shall mean the failure of the Company to nominate for re-election such Non-Employee due to any act of (x) fraud or intentional misrepresentation or (y) embezzlement, misappropriation or conversion of assets or opportunities of the Company or any subsidiary corporation or parent corporation of the Company.
SECTION 2. STOCK AWARDS

(b) Termination of Directorship for Any Reason. In the event that the Non-Employee Director's service as a director of the Company terminates for any reason, any and all unvested Stock Awards for which the Delivery/Vesting date as of the date of such termination shall terminate and become null and void.
SECTION 3. ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS; CHANGE IN CONTROL.
(a) Adjustments. If there shall be any change in the Common Stock, through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, dividend in kind or other like change in capital structure or distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to stockholders of the Company, an adjustment shall be made to each outstanding Stock Option and Stock Award (including any unvested Stock Award) such that each such Stock Option and Stock Award shall thereafter be exercisable or vested and deliverable for such, cash and/or other property as would have been received in respect of the Common Stock subject to such Stock Option and Stock Award had such Stock Option and Stock Award been exercised or vested and delivered in full immediately prior to such change or distribution, and such an adjustment shall be made successively each time any such change shall occur. In addition, in the event of any such change or distribution, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of a Non-Employee Director's rights under the Plan, the Board will have authority to adjust, in an equitable manner, the number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan, the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Stock Options and Stock Awards (including unvested Stock Awards), and the exercise price applicable to outstanding Stock Options.
(b) Change in Control. In the event there is a Change in Control of the Company, all then outstanding Stock Options shall immediately become exercisable and all unvested Stock Awards shall immediately become vested and deliverable, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 2(b), a "Change in Control" of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred upon any of the following events:
(i) A change in control of the direction and administration of the Company's business of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"); or
(ii) During any period of two (2) consecutive years, the individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors or any individuals who would be "Continuing Directors" (as hereinafter defined) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; or
(iii) The Common Stock shall cease to be publicly traded; or
(iv) The Board of Directors shall approve a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, and such transaction shall have been consummated; or
(v) The Board of Directors shall approve any merger, consolidation, or like business combination or reorganization of the Company, the consummation of which would result in the occurrence of any event described in Section
2(b)(ii) or (iii) above, and such transaction shall have been consummated.
(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the following shall constitute a Change in Control of the Company: (A) any spin-off of a division or subsidiary of the Company to its stockholders; or (B) any event listed in (i) through (v) above that the Board determines not to be a Change in Control of the Company.
(vii) For purposes of Section 2(b), "Continuing Directors" shall mean
(x) the directors of the Company in office on the Effective Date (as defined
below) and (y) any successor to any such director and any additional director
who after the Effective Date was nominated or elected by a majority of the
Continuing Directors in office at the time of his or her nomination or election.
(viii) The Board, in its discretion, may determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company, each Stock Option outstanding hereunder shall terminate within a specified number of days after notice to the holder, and such holder shall receive, with respect to each share of Common Stock subject to such Stock Option, an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control over the exercise price per share of such Stock Option; such amount to be payable in cash, in one or more kinds of property (including the property, if any, payable in the transaction constituting the Change in Control) or in a combination thereof, as the Board, in its discretion, shall determine. The provisions contained in the preceding sentence shall be inapplicable to a Stock Option granted within six (6) months before the occurrence of a Change in Control if the holder of such Stock Option is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and no exception from liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act is otherwise available to such holder.
SECTION 4. ADMINISTRATION
(a) Nontransferability. Stock Options and the right to receive unvested Stock Awards granted under the Plan to a Non-Employee Director shall not be transferable otherwise except, in the case of Stock Options, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the Non-Employee Director's lifetime, only by the Non-Employee Director. In the event of the death of the Non-Employee Director, each Stock Option theretofore granted to him or her shall be exercisable during such period after his or her death by such Non-Employee's representative.
(b) Issuance of Stock Certificates and Related Matters. The Company may endorse such legend or legends upon the certificates for shares of Common Stock issued under this Plan and may issue such "stop transfer" instructions to its transfer agent in respect of such shares as the Board, in its sole discretion, determines to be necessary or appropriate to (i) prevent a violation of, or to perfect an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or (ii) implement the provisions of the Plan and any agreement between the Company and the Non-Employee Director. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any shares of Common Stock under the Plan or make any other distribution of
benefits under the Plan unless such delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws (including, without limitation the Securities Act), and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.
(c) Tenure. A Non-Employee Director's right, if any, to continue to serve as a director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall not be enlarged or otherwise affected by his or her designation as a participant under the Plan.
(d) Governing Law. The Plan and this Agreement and actions taken in connection herewith shall be governed and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its choice-of-law provisions.
(e) Share Incentive Plan and Defined Terms. This Award is granted under and subject to the terms of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, the Plan's terms shall supersede and replace the conflicting terms of this Agreement.

3. Payment of Exercise Price. The option exercise price may be paid in cash, by the delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company then owned by the Employee, by the withholding of shares of Common Stock for which a Stock Option is exercisable or by a combination of these methods. Payment may also be made by delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the exercise price. To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms. The Company may prescribe any other method of
paying the exercise price that it determines to be consistent with applicable law, including, without limitation, in lieu of the exercise of Stock Options by delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company then owned by the Employee, providing the Company with a notarized statement attesting to the number of shares owned, where upon verification by the Company, the Company may issue to the Employee only the number of incremental shares to which the Employee is entitled upon exercise of the Stock Options. In determining which methods the Employee may utilize to pay the exercise price, the Company may consider such factors as it determines are appropriate.

Date. In addition, subject to Paragraph 5, in the event of a termination
without Cause, any and all Stock Options that are subject to grant under
Paragraph 1 but have not yet been granted because, as of the date of
termination, the Grant Date had not yet occurred, shall be granted as of
the date of termination, which shall be the "Grant Date" for purposes
thereof (or, if such date is not a business day on which shares of
Common Stock are traded, the "Grant Date" shall be the immediately
preceding business day on which such shares were traded). For purposes
hereof, "Cause" means (w) fraud, embezzlement or gross insubordination
on the part of the Employee or breach by the Employee of his or her
obligations under any Company policy or procedure; (x) conviction of or
the entry of a plea of nolo contendere by the Employee for any felony;

5. Termination of Stock Options; Post-Employment Exercises.

shall be granted after such termination of employment and the Company's agreement to grant such Stock Options shall be of no further force or effect.
6. Adjustment Provisions; Change in Control.
A. If there shall be any change in the Common Stock of the Company, through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spinoff, combination of shares, exchange of shares, dividend in kind or other like change in capital structure or distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to stockholders of the Company, an adjustment shall be made to each outstanding Stock Option (and each Stock Option to be granted pursuant to Paragraph 1) such that each such Stock Option shall thereafter be exercisable for such securities, cash and/or other property as would have been received in respect of the Common Stock subject to such Stock Option had it been exercised in full (or granted and then exercised in full) immediately prior to such change or distribution, and such an adjustment shall be made successively each time any such change shall occur. In addition, in the event of any such change or distribution, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Employee's rights hereunder, the Company shall adjust, in an equitable manner as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, the number and kind of shares that may be issued with respect to any Stock Option hereunder, the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Stock Options (or to Stock Options to be granted under Paragraph 1), the exercise price applicable to outstanding Stock Options (or to Stock Options to be granted under Paragraph 1), and the Fair Market Value and other value determinations applicable to outstanding Stock Options (or to Stock Options to be granted under Paragraph 1). Appropriate adjustments shall also be made by the Company in the terms of any Stock Options to reflect such changes or distributions and to modify any other terms of outstanding Stock Options (or Stock Options to be granted under Paragraph 1) on an equitable basis.
B. Notwithstanding any other provision hereunder, if there is a Change in Control of the Company, (i) all then outstanding Stock Options that have not yet vested or become exercisable shall immediately vest and become exercisable and (ii) all Stock Options then subject to grant under Paragraph 1 shall immediately be granted and become vested and exercisable. The date of the Change in Control shall be the "Grant Date" for purposes thereof and the per share exercise price of such Stock Options shall be equal to their Fair Market Value as of the date thereof. For purposes of this Paragraph 6b, a "Change in Control" of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred upon any of the following events:
(I) A change in control of the direction and administration of the Company's business of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act; or
(II) During any period of two (2) consecutive years, the individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Company's Board of Directors or any individuals who would be "Continuing Directors" (as
hereinafter defined) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; or
(III) The Company's Common Stock shall cease to be publicly traded; or
(IV) The Company's Board of Directors shall approve a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, and such transaction shall have been consummated; or
(V) The Company's Board of Directors shall approve any merger, consolidation, or like business combination or reorganization of the Company, the consummation of which would result in the occurrence of any event described in Paragraph 6b(ii) or (iii) above, and such transaction shall have been consummated.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) any spin-off of a division or subsidiary of the Company to its stockholders and (B) any event listed in (i) through (v) above that the Board of Directors determines not to be a Change in Control of the Company, shall not constitute a Change in Control of the Company.
For purposes of this Paragraph 6b, "Continuing Directors" shall mean (x) the directors of the Company in office on the Agreement Date and (y) any successor to any such director and any additional director who after such date was nominated or selected by a majority of the Continuing Directors in office at the time of his or her nomination or selection.
The Company, in its sole discretion, may determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company, each Stock Option outstanding hereunder shall terminate within a specified number of days after notice to the Employee and, subject to the following sentence, the Employee shall receive, with respect to each share of Common Stock subject to such Stock Option, an amount, if any, equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control over the exercise price per share of such Stock Option; such amount to be payable in cash, in one or more kinds of property (including the property, if any, payable in the transaction) or in a combination thereof, as the Company, in its discretion, shall determine. The provisions contained in the preceding sentence shall be inapplicable to a Stock Option the Grant Date of which shall be within six (6) months before the occurrence of a Change in Control if the holder of such Stock Option is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and no exception from liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act is otherwise available to such holder.
7. Withholding. All payments or distributions of Stock Options made hereunder or of shares of Common Stock covered by Stock Options shall be net of any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to applicable federal, national, state and local tax withholding requirements. The Company may require the Employee to remit to it an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax withholding requirements prior to the delivery of any certificates for such shares of Common Stock. In
lieu thereof, the Company shall have the right to withhold the amount of such taxes from any other sums due or to become due from such corporation to the Employee as the Company shall determine. The Company may, in its discretion and subject to such rules as it may adopt (including any as may be required to satisfy applicable tax and/or non-tax regulatory requirements), permit the Employee to pay all or a portion of the federal, national, state and local withholding taxes arising in connection with any Stock Option or shares of Common Stock by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount to be withheld, provided that such withholding shall only be at rates required by applicable statutes or regulations.
8. Tenure. The Employee's right to continue to serve the Company or any of its subsidiaries as an officer, employee, or otherwise, shall not be enlarged or otherwise affected by the award hereunder.
9. Specific Restrictions Upon Option Shares. The Employee hereby agrees with the Company as follows:
A. The Employee shall acquire shares of Common Stock hereunder for investment purposes only and not with a view to resale or other distribution thereof to the public in violation of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and shall not dispose of any such shares in transactions which, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, violate the 1933 Act, or the rules and regulations thereunder, or any applicable state or national securities or "blue sky" laws; and further
B. If any shares of Common Stock that are shares subject to the Stock Options shall be registered under the 1933 Act, no public offering (otherwise than on a national securities exchange, as defined in the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of any shares acquired hereunder shall be made by the Employee (or any other person) under such circumstances that he or she (or such person) may be deemed an underwriter, as defined in the 1933 Act; and further
C. The Employee agrees that the Company shall have the authority to endorse upon the certificate or certificates representing the shares acquired hereunder such legends referring to the foregoing restrictions and any other applicable restrictions, as it may deem appropriate.

11. Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver. The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this agreement shall in no manner be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.
12. Governing Law. The Option Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware, applicable to agreements made and performed in that state.
13. Partial Invalidity. The invalidity or illegality of any provision herein shall not be deemed to affect the validity of any other provision.
