  1.   Grant of Option. Pursuant to foregoing recitals, the Company grants to Option Holder an option to purchase from the Company a total of 35,000 shares of Common Stock, no par value, of the Company at $7.47 per share (being 100% of the fair market value per share of the Stock on the date of this grant), in the amounts, during the periods and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The date of grant of this option is August 23, 2007.
 
  2.   Time of Exercise. Subject to the acceleration provisions and except as otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, this option is exercisable, in whole or in part, cumulatively at any time subsequent to (and to the extent of) the vesting rights set forth below but prior to November 21, 2012, after which no unexercised part of the option may be exercised.

  9.   Manner of Exercise. This option may be exercised upon written notice to the company of the number of shares being purchased accompanied by the following:
  (a)   Full payment of the option price and any applicable withholding taxes for the shares of stock being purchased; and
 
  (b)   Such documents as the Company, in its discretion deems necessary to evidence the exercise, in whole or in part, of the option.

The fair market value of each share of such tendered stock shall be the closing sale price of a share of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”) on the date the Option is exercised, or if the Common Stock was not traded on the Exchange on that date, then on the next preceding date on which the Common Stock was traded on the Exchange. No shares may be issued until full payment of the purchase price and any applicable withholding taxes therefor has been made, and the Option Holder will have none of the rights of a stock holder until shares are issued to him.
  10.   Non-Assignability. This option is not assignable or transferable by the Option Holder.
 
  11.   Rights of Stockholder.

  12.   Adjustment of Number of Shares and Related Matters. The Option Holder understands that in the event of the merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company, or in the event of the recapitalization of the Company, the number of shares that may be purchased upon exercise of the option granted hereunder and the exercise price thereof shall be proportionately adjusted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the existence of the option granted herewith shall not affect the right of the Company to issue shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash, property, labor or services, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities. The issuance of such shares or securities shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Stock subject to the option granted hereunder.
 
      Upon the occurrence of each event requiring an adjustment of the exercise price and/or the number of shares purchasable pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall as soon as practicable mail to the Option Holder a copy of its computation of such adjustment which shall be conclusive and shall be binding upon the Option Holder unless contested by him by written notice to

  13.   Option Holder’s Representations. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Option Holder hereby agrees that he will not exercise the option granted hereby, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to the Option Holder hereunder, if the exercise thereof or the issuance of such shares shall constitute a violation by the Option Holder or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. Any determination in this connection by the Board of Directors of the Company shall be final, binding, and conclusive.

Unless previously registered or issued in a transaction registered under applicable federal and state securities laws, all certificates issued with
