<P align="center"><FONT size="2"><B>AUTOMATIC STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT</B>
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>RECITALS</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Corporation has implemented an automatic option grant program under
the Plan pursuant to which eligible non-employee members of the Board will
automatically receive special option grants at periodic intervals over their
period of Board service in order to provide such individuals with a meaningful
incentive to continue to serve as members of the Board.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Optionee is an eligible non-employee Board member, and this Agreement
is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan
in connection with the automatic grant of an option to purchase shares of
Common Stock under the Plan.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned
to them in the attached Appendix.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>NOW, THEREFORE</B>, it is hereby agreed as follows:
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>1. Grant of Option</B>. The Corporation hereby grants to Optionee, as of the
Grant Date, a Non-Statutory Option to purchase up to the number of Option
Shares specified in the Grant Notice. The Option Shares shall be purchasable
from time to time during the option term specified in Paragraph&nbsp;2 at the
Exercise Price.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>2. Option Term</B>. This option shall have a term of ten (10)&nbsp;years measured
from the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at the close of business on
the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with Paragraph&nbsp;5, 6
or 7.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>3. Limited Transferability</B>.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;This option may be assigned in whole or in part during Optionee&#146;s
lifetime to one or more members of Optionee&#146;s family or to a trust established
for the exclusive benefit of one or more such family members or to Optionee&#146;s
former spouse, to the extent such assignment is in connection with the
Optionee&#146;s estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations order. The assigned
portion shall be exercisable only by the person or persons who acquire a
proprietary interest in the option pursuant to such assignment. The terms
applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for
this option immediately prior to such assignment.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;Should the Optionee die while holding this option, then this option
shall be transferred in accordance with Optionee&#146;s will or the laws of
inheritance. However, Optionee may designate one or more persons as the
beneficiary or beneficiaries of this option, and this option shall, in
accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such

<H5 align="left" style="page-break-before:always">&nbsp;</H5><P>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2">beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee&#146;s death while holding this
option. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred option
subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including (without
limitation) the limited time period during which this option may, pursuant to
Paragraph&nbsp;5, be exercised following Optionee&#146;s death.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>4. Exercisability/Vesting</B>.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;This option shall be immediately exercisable for any or all of the
Option Shares, whether or not the Option Shares are at the time vested in
accordance with the Vesting Schedule, and shall remain so exercisable until the
Expiration Date or sooner termination of the option term under Paragraph&nbsp;5, 6
or 7.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;Optionee shall, in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in
the Grant Notice, vest in the Option Shares in one or more installments over
his or her period of Board service. The Option Shares shall, however, be
subject to accelerated vesting pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph&nbsp;5, 6 or
7, but in no event shall any additional Option Shares vest following Optionee&#146;s
cessation of service as a Board member.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>5. Cessation of Board Service</B>. Should Optionee&#146;s service as a Board
member cease while this option remains outstanding, then the option term
specified in Paragraph&nbsp;2 shall terminate (and this option shall cease to be
outstanding) prior to the Expiration Date in accordance with the following
provisions:
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;Should Optionee cease to serve as a Board member for any reason (other
than death or Permanent Disability) while this option is outstanding, then the
period during which this option may be exercised shall be reduced to a twelve
(12)-month period measured from the date of such cessation of Board service,
but in no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the
Expiration Date. During such limited period of exercisability, Optionee (or
the person or persons to whom this option is transferred pursuant to a
permitted transfer under Paragraph&nbsp;3) may not exercise this option in the
aggregate for more than the number of Option Shares (if any) in which Optionee
is vested on the date of his or her cessation of Board service. Upon the
earlier of (i)&nbsp;the expiration of such twelve (12)-month period or (ii)&nbsp;the
specified Expiration Date, the option shall terminate and cease to be
exercisable with respect to any vested Option Shares for which the option has
not been exercised.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;Should Optionee die during the twelve (12)-month period following his
or her cessation of Board service but while this option is outstanding, then
(i)&nbsp;the personal representative of Optionee&#146;s estate or (ii)&nbsp;the person or
persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to Optionee&#146;s will or the
laws of inheritance following Optionee&#146;s death or to whom the option is
transferred during Optionee&#146;s lifetime pursuant to a permitted transfer under
Paragraph&nbsp;3 or (iii)&nbsp;the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of this option
(as the case may be) shall have the right to exercise this option for any or
all of the Option Shares in which Optionee is vested at the time of Optionee&#146;s
cessation of Board service (less any Option Shares purchased by Optionee after
such cessation of Board service but prior to death). Any such right

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">to exercise this option shall terminate, and this option shall accordingly
cease to be exercisable for such vested Option Shares, upon the earlier of (i)
the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of
Optionee&#146;s cessation of Board service or (ii)&nbsp;the specified Expiration Date.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Should Optionee cease service as a Board member by reason of death or
Permanent Disability, then any Option Shares at the time subject to this option
but not otherwise vested shall vest in full so that this option may be
exercised for any or all of the Option Shares as fully vested shares of Common
Stock at any time prior to the earlier of (i)&nbsp;the expiration of the twelve
(12)-month period measured from the date of Optionee&#146;s cessation of Board
service or (ii)&nbsp;the specified Expiration Date, whereupon this option shall
terminate and cease to be outstanding.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;Upon Optionee&#146;s cessation of Board service for any reason other than
death or Permanent Disability, this option shall immediately terminate and
cease to be outstanding with respect to any and all Option Shares in which
Optionee is not otherwise at that time vested in accordance with the normal
Vesting Schedule or the special vesting acceleration provisions of Paragraphs 6
and 7 below.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>6. Change in Control</B>.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;In the event of a Change in Control effected during Optionee&#146;s period
of Board service, any Option Shares at the time subject to this option but not
otherwise vested shall automatically vest so that this option shall,
immediately prior to the specified effective date for that Change in Control,
become exercisable for all of the Option Shares as fully vested shares of
Common Stock and may be exercised for any or all of those vested shares.
Immediately following the consummation of the Change in Control, this option
shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by
the successor corporation or its parent company or otherwise continued in
effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;If this option is assumed in connection with a Change in Control or
otherwise continued in effect, then this option shall be appropriately
adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to apply to the number and
class of securities which would have been issuable to Optionee in consummation
of such Change in Control had the option been exercised immediately prior to
such Change in Control, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the
Exercise Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.
To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation&#146;s outstanding Common Stock
receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change
in Control transaction, the successor corporation may, in connection with the
assumption of this option, substitute one or more shares of its own common
stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per
share of Common Stock in such Change in Control transaction.

</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;In the event of a Hostile Take-Over effected during Optionee&#146;s period
of Board service, any Option Shares at the time subject to this option but not
otherwise vested shall automatically vest so that this option shall,
immediately prior to the effective date of that Hostile Take-Over, become
exercisable for all of the Option Shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock
and may be exercised for any or all of those vested shares. This option shall
remain exercisable for such fully vested Option Shares until the earliest to
occur of (i)&nbsp;the specified Expiration Date, (ii)&nbsp;the sooner termination of this
option in accordance with Paragraph&nbsp;5 or 6 or (iii)&nbsp;the surrender of this
option under Paragraph&nbsp;7(b).
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;Optionee shall have an unconditional right, exercisable at any time
during the thirty (30)-day period immediately following the consummation of a
Hostile Take-Offer effected during his or her period of Board service, to
surrender this option to the Corporation in exchange for a cash distribution
from the Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (i)&nbsp;the Take-Over
Price of the Option Shares at the time subject to the surrendered option
(whether or not those Option Shares are otherwise at the time vested) over (ii)
the aggregate Exercise Price payable for such shares. This Paragraph&nbsp;7(b)
limited stock appreciation right shall in all events terminate upon the
expiration or sooner termination of the option term and may not be assigned or
transferred by Optionee, except to the extent the option is transferred in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;To exercise the Paragraph&nbsp;7(b) limited stock appreciation right,
Optionee must, during the applicable thirty (30)-day exercise period, provide
the Corporation with written notice of the option surrender in which there is
specified the number of Option Shares as to which the option is being
surrendered. Such notice must be accompanied by the return of Optionee&#146;s copy
of this Agreement, together with any written amendments to such Agreement. The
cash distribution shall be paid to Optionee within five (5)&nbsp;business days
following such delivery date. The exercise of such limited stock appreciation
right in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph&nbsp;7 has been pre-approved
pursuant to the express provisions of the Automatic Option Grant Program, and
neither the approval of the Plan Administrator nor the consent of the Board
shall be required at the time of the actual option surrender and cash
distribution. Upon receipt of the cash distribution, this option shall be
cancelled with respect to the shares subject to the surrendered option (or the
surrendered portion), and Optionee shall cease to have any further right to
acquire those Option Shares under this Agreement. The option shall, however,
remain outstanding for the balance of the Option Shares (if any) in accordance
with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and the Corporation shall
accordingly issue a replacement stock option agreement (substantially in the
same form as this Agreement) for those remaining Option Shares.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>8. Adjustment in Option Shares</B>. Should any change be made to the Common
Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the
outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation&#146;s receipt of
consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i)
