shall not be exercisable in any event after the expiration of 10 years from the
date of grant hereof.&#160; The purchase price
of shares as to which this Option is exercised shall be paid in full at the
time of exercise (a) in cash (including check, bank draft or money order
payable to the order of the Company), (b) by delivering or constructively
tendering to the Company shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to
the purchase price (provided such shares used for this purpose must have been
held by Employee for such minimum period of time as may be established from
time to time by the Committee), (c) if the Stock is readily tradable on a national
securities market, through a &#147;cashless exercise&#148; in accordance with a Company
established policy or program for the same, or (d) any combination of the
foregoing.&#160; No fraction of a share of
Stock shall be issued by the Company upon exercise of an Option or accepted by
the Company in payment of the exercise price thereof; rather, Employee shall
provide a cash payment for such amount as is necessary to effect the issuance
and acceptance of only whole shares of Stock.&#160;
Unless and until a certificate or certificates representing such shares
shall have been issued by the Company to Employee, Employee (or the person
permitted to exercise this Option in the event of Employee&#146;s death) shall not
be or have any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company with
