Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Optionee's satisfaction of any tax-withholding requirements imposed by the Company shall be a condition precedent to the Company's obligation as may otherwise be provided hereunder to provide Shares to the Options and the failure of the Optionee to satisfy such requirements with respect to the exercise of an Option shall cause such Option to be forfeited.

(a) Unless otherwise provided herein, if the Optionee's employment with a Group Company is terminated other than by reason of voluntary separation, Cause, death, retirement or Disability, no exercise of an Option may occur after the expiration of the 90 day period to follow the termination, or if earlier, the Exercise Expiration Date; provided that, if the Optionee should die after termination of employment, such termination being for a reason other than Disability or retirement, but while the Option is still in effect, the Option (if and to the extent otherwise exercisable by the Optionee at the time of death) may be exercised by the decedent Optionee's successors, heirs, assigns or estate a; the

case may be until the earlier of (i) one year from the date of termination of employment of the Optionee, or (ii) the Exercise Expiration Date.

(c) Unless otherwise provided herein, if (i) the Optionee's employment is terminated by a Group Company for the Cause or (ii) the Optionee voluntarily terminates employment with a Group Company (other than on account of death, retirement or Disability) the Optionee's Option, to the extent then unexercised, shall thereupon cease to be exercisable and shall be forfeited forthwith.

(d) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, no provision of this Section 9 is intended to or shall permit the exercise of the Option to the extent the Option was not exercisable upon cessation of employment.

11. Non-Transferability of Option. An Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee.

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Optionee represents to the Company the following:

(a) Optionee is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Optionee is acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee's own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

(b) Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been registered under that Securities Act in reliance upon a specific therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Optionee's investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Optionee understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if Optionee's representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. Optionee further understands that the Securities musts be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available and that Optionee may be required to provide an opinion of counsel in a form satisfactory to the Company's counsel that such an exemption from registration is available. Optionee further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and any other legend required under applicable state securities laws.

(c) Optionee is familiar with the provision of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, is, a non-pubic offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to the Option; the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the satisfaction of certain of the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Exchange Act); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the Securities by an affiliate of the Company, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.

(d) Optionee further understands that in the event all of the applicable Rule 701 or 144 are not under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sale, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.

(e) Optionee has read the Option Plan, read, understood and agrees to the provision of the Stock Option Agreement and the Exercise Notice attached thereto including, without limitation, the Right of First Refusal Right in the Exercise Notice.
