than by will or the laws of descent and distribution) and may be exercised
during your lifetime only by you.
8. Termination of Employment.
1. In the event that you cease to be a Director of the Company for any
reason other than because of your death or "disability" (within the
meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), this Option may be exercised
within one month after you cease to be a Director, and only to the
same extent that you were entitled to exercise this Option on the date
you ceased to be a Director and had not previously done so.
2. In the event that you cease to be a Director of the Company by
reason of "disability" (as so defined), this Option may only be
exercised within one year after the date you cease to be a Director,
and only to the same extent that you were entitled to exercise this
Option on the date you ceased to be a Director by reason of such
disability and had not previously done so.
3. In the event that you die while a Director of the Company (or
within a period of one month after ceasing to be a Director of the
Company for any reason other than such "disability" or within a period
of one year after ceasing to a Director of the Company by reason of
such disability), this Option may be exercised during such one year
period by the executor or administrator of your estate or by any
person who shall have acquired the Option through bequest or
inheritance, but only to the same extent that you were entitled to

number of kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company of another

or other change in the Common Stock, the unexercised portion of the Option
Shares
3
covered by this Option, the exercise price, and other relevant provisions shall
be appropriately adjusted by the Board.
10. Continuation of Directorship. This Option shall not confer upon you any
right to continue as a Director of the Company, except as the stockholders of
the Company may determine.
11. Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined below),
100% of this Option will become fully vested and exercisable if:
1. Your directorship is terminated within 18 months after a Change of
Control or
2. Your compensation is reduced after a Change of Control and you
resign from your position as a director within 18 months after the

to become, the beneficial owner of Company securities having 25% or

Board of the Company. An acquisition shall be excluded if made by the
Company, one of its subsidiaries, or a Company employee benefit plan;
