such amendment would constitute a "modification" of any Option which is an ISO (as that term is defined in Section&nbsp;424(h)&nbsp;of the Code) or would cause any adverse tax consequences for the
holders of such ISO, and (iv)&nbsp;with respect to any Option held by any Participant who is subject to the provisions of Section&nbsp;16(a) of the 1934 Act, any such amendment shall be made only

that with respect to persons subject to Section&nbsp;16 of the 1934 Act, any such withholding arrangement shall be in compliance with any applicable provisions of Rule&nbsp;16b-3

Paragraph&nbsp;1 above, as of the most recent practicable date prior to the date of exercise. If the fair market value of the shares withheld is less than the amount of payroll withholdings
required, the Optionholder may be required to advance the difference in cash to the Company or the Affiliate employer. The Administrator in its discretion may condition the exercise of an Option for
less than the then Fair Market Value on the Participant's payment of such additional withholding. </FONT></P>

the Key Employee was granted the ISO, or (b)&nbsp;one year after the date the Key Employee acquired shares by exercising the ISO. If the Key Employee has died
