 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In the event the undersigned Employee is a member of Company&#146;s Control Group, the undersigned shall,
at and after the time that the Company&#146;s Common Stock is registered under Section&nbsp;12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;), be subject to the reporting requirements of Section&nbsp;16(a) of the Exchange Act,
as well as the short-swing profit limitations of Section&nbsp;16(b) of the Exchange Act. The Employee acknowledges that the grant of this INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION will constitute a &#147;purchase&#148; or &#147;acquisition&#148; under
Section&nbsp;16(b) of the Exchange Act if (i)&nbsp;less than six months elapses between the date of this option grant and the date of the sale of the option stock, or (ii)&nbsp;upon exercise of this INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION, the exercise price is
greater than the market price of the Common Stock acquired. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(3) TERMINATION OF OPTION. All rights to exercise this INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION
shall terminate three (3)&nbsp;months after the Employee ceases to be an employee for any reason other than death or retirement, but in any event ten (10)&nbsp;years from the date of this Agreement. The employment relationship, however, will be
treated as continuing intact while the Employee is on military or sick leave if the period of such leave does not exceed ninety (90)&nbsp;days, or, if longer, so long as the Employee&#146;s right to reemployment is guaranteed either by statute or
contract. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(4) TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. This INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION is not transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and during the Employee&#146;s lifetime is exercisable only by him or by his guardian or legal representative. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(5) OPTION RIGHTS IN EVENT OF DEATH OR RETIREMENT. In the event of the death of the Employee before the exercise or expiration of this INCENTIVE STOCK
OPTION, such person or persons as shall be entitled by Employee&#146;s will or the laws of descent and distribution to exercise it or, if there be no such person, then the executors or administrators of the estate of the deceased Employee, may
exercise the option at any time within one (1)&nbsp;year following the Employee&#146;s death, but only on the terms and conditions contained in the option and in any event prior to the expiration date of the option period. In any such case, payment
shall be made in full at the time of the exercise. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(6) ADJUSTMENTS. Should the Company effect one or more stock dividends, stock
split-ups, combinations, reclassifications, recapitalizations or the like, or be a party to any plan of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares, separation or liquidation, then the Employee shall be
entitled to an adjustment in the terms of this INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION to the extent permitted by the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (relating to qualified stock options), in order to prevent the Employee&#146;s rights under this
Agreement from being materially adversely affected or impaired. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(7) PAYMENT FOR STOCK. Payment for shares purchased upon the exercise of
this INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION in whole or in part shall be made in cash, except that if authorized by the Human Resources Committee in writing, the exercise price may also be paid by (i)&nbsp;the delivery of shares of Company Common Stock with a fair
market value equal to the exercise price or (ii)&nbsp;a combination of cash and Company Common Stock equal to the exercise price. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">Notification of the amount due and prior to, or concurrently with, the delivery of the Employee of a certificate representing any shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of this INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION, the Employee shall promptly pay to
the Company any amount necessary to satisfy applicable federal, state or local tax requirements. Further, upon disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of this INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION, the Company shall require the
payment of the amount of taxes, if any, which are required by law to be withheld or otherwise paid with regard to such disposition. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(8) OPTION HOLDER NOT STOCKHOLDER. The Employee or his legal representatives, as the case might be, shall
not have any of the rights or privileges of a stock holder of the Company in respect of any of the shares issuable upon the exercise of this INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION unless and until certificates representing such shares shall have been issued and
delivered. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(9) SURRENDER FOR STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT. Any part or all of this INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION which has to be surrendered for
exercise of a related Stock Appreciation Right shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related Stock Appreciation Right has been exercised. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(10) EARLY DISPOSITION. If the Employee disposes of any share or shares acquired by the Employee within two years from the date of this Agreement or within one year following the transfer of such share or shares to
the Employee by the Company, whichever is later, the Employee shall not be qualified for favorable tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code and must include in his taxable income for the year of such disposition the difference between the fair
market value of the share or shares disposed of at the time of this acquisition under this Agreement and the exercise price paid for such share or shares by the Employee at said time of acquisition. If the Employee makes an early disposition of any
such share or shares in violation of the preceding sentence, the Employee shall promptly pay to the Company the amount of any federal, state, or local taxes, if any, which are required to be withheld or otherwise paid by the Employee with regard to
such early disposition. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(11) GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by Virginia law and shall be binding upon the parties hereto,
their heirs, successors and assigns. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:12px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P><DIV ALIGN="right">
