8.2 NUMBER AND TERMS OF OPTIONS. The number of Shares subject to
an Option granted pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(ii) above shall be the number of
whole Shares equal to the ratio of (a) the product of (i) three and (ii) the
portion of the Annual Cash Retainer (expressed as a dollar amount) which the
Non-Employee Director has elected pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(ii) to be payable
in Options to (b) the Fair Market Value per Share on the Option Grant Date. Any
fraction of a Share shall be disregarded and the remaining amount of such Annual
Retainer shall be paid in cash or Shares as the Non-Employee Director has
elected. The purchase price per Share under each Option granted pursuant to
Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(b) shall be equal to the Fair Market Value per Share on
the Option Grant Date.
Subject to Article IX and any restrictions contained in the applicable
Stock Option Agreement, each Option granted to a Non-Employee Director shall
become fully vested and exercisable with respect to all Shares covered by such
Option on the six month anniversary of the Option Grant Date. In no event shall
the period of time over which the Option may be exercised exceed ten (10) years
from the Option Grant Date. An Option, or portion thereof, may be exercised in
whole or in part only with respect to whole Shares.
Shares shall be issued to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of an
Option only upon receipt by the Company from the Optionee of payment in full
either in cash or by surrendering (or attesting to the ownership of) Shares
together with proof acceptable to the Board that such Shares have been owned by
the Optionee for at least six (6) months prior to the date of exercise of the
Option, or a combination of cash and Shares, in an amount or having a combined
value equal to the aggregate purchase price for the Shares subject to the Option
or portion thereof being exercised. The value of owned Shares submitted
(directly or by attestation) in full or partial payment for the Shares purchased
upon exercise of an Option shall be equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of
such owned Shares on the date of the exercise of such Option.
8.3 NUMBER OF SHARES. The number of Shares granted pursuant to
this Article shall be the number of whole Shares equal to the ratio of (a) the
portion of the Annual Retainer which the Non-Employee Director has elected
pursuant to Section 8.1 to be payable in Shares (expressed as a dollar amount)
to (b) the Fair Market Value per Share on the Stock Award Date. Any fraction of
a Share shall be disregarded and the remaining amount of such Annual Retainer
shall be paid in cash or Options as the Non-Employee Director has elected. Upon
an Award of Shares to a Non-Employee Director, the stock certificate
representing such Shares shall be issued and transferred to the Non-Employee
Director, whereupon the Non-Employee Director shall become a stockholder of the
Company with respect to such Shares and shall be entitled to vote the Shares;
provided, however, subject to Article IX, any stock certificates representing
Shares awarded in respect of, and prior to, the one-year period beginning on the
date of grant of a Stock Award shall not be transferred to the Non-Employee
Director until immediately after the first annual meeting of stockholders held

of dividends that would otherwise be paid on such Shares on or after the date of
the meeting at which such Shares are granted and prior to such annual meeting of
stockholders shall be held by the Company until immediately after such annual
meeting of
-5-
stockholders and (y) such Shares and dividend equivalents shall be forfeited in

thereto held by the Company pursuant to Section 9.3, shall be transferred to
such Non-Employee Director.
9.2 DEFINITION OF CHANGE OF CONTROL. A "Change of Control" shall

resulting from the transaction (including, without limitation, an entity which

any time; provided, however, that no action authorized by this Article shall
adversely change the terms and conditions of an outstanding Award without the
Non-Employee Director's consent.
ARTICLE XI - ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS
11.1 If the Company shall at any time change the number of issued
Shares without new consideration to the Company (such as by stock dividend,
stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, exchange of shares, liquidation,
combination or other change in corporate structure affecting the Shares) or make
a distribution of cash or property which has a substantial impact on the value
of issued Shares, the total number of Shares reserved for issuance under the
Plan shall be appropriately adjusted and the number of Shares covered by each
outstanding Option and the purchase price per Share under each outstanding
Option shall be adjusted so that the aggregate consideration payable to the
Company and the value of each such Option shall not be changed.
11.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, and without
affecting the number of Shares reserved or available hereunder, the Board shall
authorize the issuance, continuation or assumption of outstanding Options or
provide for other equitable adjustments after changes in the Shares resulting
from any merger, consolidation, sale of assets, acquisition of property or
stock, recapitalization, reorganization or similar occurrence in which the
Company is the continuing or surviving Company, upon such terms and conditions
as it may deem necessary to preserve the rights of Optionees and holders of
Shares that are subject to any restrictions under the Plan.
11.3 In the case of any sale of assets, merger, consolidation or
combination of the Company with or into another Company other than a transaction
in which the Company is the continuing or surviving Company and which does not
result in the outstanding Shares being converted into or exchanged for different
securities, cash or other property, or any combination thereof (an
"Acquisition"), any Optionee who holds an outstanding Option shall have the
right (subject to the provisions of the Plan and any limitation applicable to
the Option) thereafter and during the term of the Option, to receive upon
exercise thereof the Acquisition Consideration (as defined below) receivable
upon the Acquisition by a holder of the number of Shares which would have been
obtained upon exercise of the Option or
-7-
portion thereof, as the case may be, immediately prior to the Acquisition. The
term "Acquisition Consideration" shall mean the kind and amount of Shares of the
surviving or new Company, cash, securities, evidence of indebtedness, other
property or any combination thereof receivable in respect of one Share of the
Company upon consummation of an Acquisition.

desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan and, in
furtherance of such purposes, the Board may make such modifications, amendments,
procedures, subplans and the like as may be necessary or advisable to comply
