<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. (a)&nbsp;The term of this Option commences on the date hereof and, unless
sooner terminated as set forth in the Plan or this Agreement, shall terminate
at 5:00 p.m. Central Time on &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;, 201&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;; <I>provided</I>, <I>however</I>, that this
Option may not be exercised during the initial six (6)&nbsp;months of the term.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;Notwithstanding the term specified in Section&nbsp;3(a) above, as set forth
in Section&nbsp;9(b) of the Plan, this Option shall expire upon the earlier of the
expiration date set forth in Section&nbsp;3(a) or the date ninety (90)&nbsp;days after
the date Optionee&#146;s employment with the Company or its subsidiaries terminates
for any reason other than death or disability pursuant to Section&nbsp;3(c) or
retirement pursuant to Section&nbsp;3(d).
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;If the employment of the Optionee with the Company and its
subsidiaries terminates by reason of disability (as determined by the Plan
Administrator) or death, the unexpired Options or portions thereof, if any,
held on the date of disability or death that would expire pursuant to the terms
of this Option during the 12-month period commencing on the date of disability
or death, shall expire on the last day of such 12-month period. During such
12-month period, any such Option or portion thereof referred to in the
preceding sentence may be exercised by the Optionee (or the Optionee&#146;s legatee,
executor, personal representative or distributee) with respect to the same
number of shares and in the same manner and to the same extent as if the
Optionee had continued as a full-time employee of the Company or its
subsidiaries during such 12&nbsp;month period; provided, that the Optionee may not
exercise any Option or portion thereof that has not vested prior to or during
such 12-month period. Any unexpired Option or portion thereof held by the
Optionee on the date of disability or death that would expire pursuant to the
terms of this Option on a date more than 12&nbsp;months after the date of disability
or death, shall expire unexercised on the date of disability or death.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;If the employment of the Optionee with the Company and its
subsidiaries terminates due to retirement under any qualified retirement plan
maintained by the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries, this Option shall
expire on the earlier to occur of (i)&nbsp;the applicable expiration date or dates
set forth in this Option or (ii)&nbsp;the third anniversary of the date of such
termination of employment. If the Optionee who has so retired dies prior to
exercising in full any portion of this Option that has not expired pursuant to
the preceding sentence, then notwithstanding the preceding sentence, such
Option shall expire on the first anniversary of the date of the Optionee&#146;s
death. During the period commencing on the date of retirement or death, as the
case may be, and ending on the applicable later expiration date, this Option
may be exercised by such Optionee (or the Optionee&#146;s legatee, executor,
personal representative or distributee) with respect to the same number of
shares and in the same manner and to the same extent as if the Optionee had
continued as a full-time employee of the Company or its subsidiaries during
such period; provided, that no Option or portion thereof that has not vested
prior to or during such period may be exercised.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. This Option may be exercised by delivering to the Secretary of the

by full payment of the exercise price for the shares being purchased pursuant
to this Option, together with such additional documents as the Company may
require and in accordance with such other procedures as may then be in effect
for the exercise of options. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in
this Option, the exercise price for the shares to be acquired upon exercise of
this Option shall be paid in full (i)&nbsp;in cash or check payable to the order of
the Company, (ii)&nbsp;in Common Stock (which the Optionee

the Optionee purchased on the open market and in each case for which the
Optionee has good title, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances) valued
at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, (iii)&nbsp;in cash by a
broker-dealer to whom the holder of the Option has submitted an exercise notice
consisting of a fully-endorsed Option, or (iv)&nbsp;by such other medium of payment
as the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, shall authorize. In the case of
payment pursuant to (ii)&nbsp;or (iii)&nbsp;above, the holder&#146;s election must be made on
or prior to the date of exercise of the Option and must be irrevocable.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. The Company may require the Optionee, or any person to whom an Option
is transferred under Section&nbsp;6, as a condition of exercising the Option, to
give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that such person is
acquiring the stock subject to the Option for such person&#146;s own account and not
with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the stock;
<I>provided</I>, <I>however</I>, that the requirement of providing such written assurances,
and any assurances given pursuant to such requirement, shall be inoperative if
the shares issuable upon exercise of this Option are then registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Act&#148;), or, if such shares are not then
so registered, there is delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, which
may be counsel to the holder, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such
exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the
Act.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. This Option and any rights and privileges pertaining thereto, may not
be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any manner, by operation
of law or otherwise, other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar
process. The granting of this Option shall impose no obligation upon the
Optionee to exercise such Option.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option and the
exercise price thereof shall be subject to adjustment in the manner set forth
in Section&nbsp;4.2 of the Plan.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the grant of this Option shall be
deemed to obligate the Company or any subsidiary to offer or continue
employment of the Optionee for any particular period, nor shall the granting of
this Option constitute a request or consent to postpone the retirement date of
the Optionee. Neither the Optionee nor any other person entitled to exercise
the Option under the terms hereof shall be, or have any of the rights or
privileges of, a shareholder of the Company in respect of any of the shares of
Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Option, unless and until this Option
has been exercised in accordance with its terms and the full purchase price for
such shares shall have been paid in accordance with the terms hereof.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. Whenever the Company is required to issue or transfer shares of Common
Stock to the Optionee under this Option, the Company shall have the right to
require the Optionee to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy
all federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery
of any certificate or certificates for such shares as set forth in Section&nbsp;15
of the Plan.
