3. Purchase Option
---------------
(a) In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by
applicable securities laws, Purchaser shall not assign, encumber or dispose of
any interest in the Shares while the Shares are subject to the Company's
Purchase Option (as defined below).
(b) The Company shall have the right and option to repurchase the
Shares (the "Purchase Option") as set forth in this Paragraph 3 at a price of
$.00l per share (the "Option Price"). In the event purchaser shall cease to be
employed by the Company (including a parent or subsidiary of the Company) for
any reason, except as provided in subparagraph (d) hereof (the "Termination"),
the Purchase Option shall come into effect. Following a Termination, the
Company shall have the right as provided in subparagraph (c) hereof, to exercise
the Purchase Option to purchase from the Purchaser or his personal
representative, as the case may be, at the Option Price any or all of the Shares
in which Purchaser has not acquired a vested interest in accordance with the
vesting provisions below:
(i) 25% vested as of June 25, 1990;
(ii) 2.1% vested on the 25th day of each month beginning June
25, 1991 for the next thirty-six (36) months so that the Shares will be fully
vested as of June 25, 1994.
(c) Within forty-five (45) days following a Termination, the Company
shall notify Purchaser by written notice delivered or mailed as provided in
subparagraph 9(b), as to whether it wishes to purchase the Shares pursuant to
exercise of the Purchase option. If the Company (or its assignee) elects to
purchase the Shares hereunder, it shall set a date for the closing of the
transaction at a place specified by the Company not later than fifteen (15) days
from the date of such notice. At such closing, the Company (or its assignee)
shall tender payment for the Shares and the certificates representing the Shares
so purchased shall be cancelled. Purchaser hereby authorizes and directs the
Secretary or Transfer Agent of the Company to transfer the Shares as to which
the Purchase Option has been exercised from Purchaser to the Company. The
Option Price may be payable, at the option of the Company, in cancellation of
all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of Purchaser to the Company or
in cash (by check), or both.

(d) In the event Purchaser's employment shall terminate as a result
of his death or permanent disability, the Purchase Option shall not apply to the
Company and shall thereafter be terminated. Purchaser shall be deemed
permanently disabled in the event he is unable, as a result of a mental or
physical condition, to perform his employment duties to the Company and a
qualified physician, acceptable to the Board of Directors of the Company,
establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board of Directors that such
condition will continue for a period of not less than one (1) year.

his Shares, to deliver such certificates, together with stock powers executed in
blank by Purchaser and Purchaser's spouse (if required for transfer) with
respect to each such stock certificate, to the Secretary or Assistant Secretary
of the Company, or their designees, to hold in escrow, with the authority to
take all such actions and to effectuate all such transfers and/or releases as
may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the objectives of this Agreement
in accordance with the terms hereof. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the
appointment of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company (or their
designee) as the escrow holder hereunder with the stated authorities is a
material inducement to the Company to make this Agreement and that such
appointment is coupled with an interest and is accordingly irrevocable.
Purchaser agrees that such escrow holder shall not be liable to any party hereto
(or to any other party) for any actions or omissions unless such escrow holder
is grossly negligent relative thereto. The escrow holder may rely upon any
letter, notice or other document executed by any signature purported to be
genuine and may resign at any time.

the availability, in certain cases, of certain public information about the
Company; (ii) the resale occurring not less than two years after the party has
purchased and paid for the securities to be sold; and (iii) in the case of an
affiliate, or a non-affiliate who has held the restricted securities for less

limitations stated therein.
