Executive Employment Agreement - InSight Health Services Corp. and Cecilia A. Guastaferro
Employment Forms
- Employers can customize an employment agreement that states the salary, benefits, working hours and other important provisions for their new or existing employee.
- Answer simple questions to build a contract with a consultant. Specify the services rendered, when payment is due, as well as IP rights.
- Employers who compensate their sales employees based on commissions can prepare an agreement to reduce misunderstandings by specifying the base salary and how commissions are calculated.
- Companies may offer their business executives a contract that is different from the one provided to their regular employees. Executive employment agreements may be more complex because the compensation structure may include a combination of salary and commissions, provide for bonuses based on sales, stock or other financial targets, and include non-compete, confidentiality and severance provisions.
- Independent sales representatives offer companies the potential to increase the sale of products or services without the burden of increasing headcount. Both parties should understand how commissions are calculated, when commissions will be paid, as well as how the representative will treat confidential information from the company and whether the representative may also sell a competing line of products or services.

SECTION 5.02. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON BREACH. If the Executive
breaches, or threatens to breach, in any material respect any of the
provisions of Section 5.01 hereof (hereinafter referred to as the "Restrictive
Covenants"), the Company shall, in addition to all its other rights hereunder
and under applicable law and in equity, have the right and remedy, to have the
Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction,
including, without limitation, the granting of a preliminary injunction which
may be granted without the necessity of proving damages or the posting of a
bond or other security, it being acknowledged that any such breach or
threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money
damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company. In addition to and
not in lieu of any other remedy that the Company may have pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise, in the event of any breach of any provision of Section
5.01 during the period during which the Executive is entitled to receive
payments and benefits pursuant to Section 4.06, such period shall terminate as
of the date of such breach and the Executive shall not thereafter be entitled
to receive any salary or other payments under this Agreement, including, but
not limited to, any stock options granted to the Executive.
SECTION 5.03. SEVERABILITY OF COVENANTS. If any court of competent
jurisdiction determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part
thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictive
Covenants shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect,
without regard to the invalid portions.
SECTION 5.04. BLUE-PENCILING. The Company and the Executive agree and
acknowledge that the duration, scope and geographic area of the Restrictive
Covenants are fair, reasonable and necessary in order to protect the good will
and other legitimate interests of the Company, that adequate consideration has
been received by the Executive for such obligations, and that these
obligations do not prevent the Executive from earning a livelihood. If any
court of competent jurisdiction construes any of the Restrictive Covenants, or
any part thereof, to be unenforceable because of the duration or geographic
scope of such provision or otherwise, such provision shall be deemed amended
to the minimum extent required to make it enforceable and, in its reduced
form, such provision shall then be enforceable and enforced.
SECTION 5.05. ENFORCEABILITY IN JURISDICTION. Notwithstanding Section
7.08, the parties hereto hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the Restrictive
Covenants upon the courts of any jurisdiction within the geographical scope of
such Restrictive Covenants. If the courts of any one or more of such
jurisdictions hold the Restrictive Covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of
their duration, geographic scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the
parties that such determination not bar or in any way affect the Company's
right to the relief provided herein in the courts of any other jurisdiction
within the geographical scope of such Restrictive Covenants as to breaches of
such Restrictive Covenants in such other jurisdiction, such Restrictive
Covenants as they relate to each jurisdiction being, for this purpose,
severable into diverse and independent covenants.

<PAGE>
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT entered into as of the ___ day of ________, 2001 by and
between InSight Health Services Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and the undersigned employee (the "Employee") of the Company or
one of its subsidiaries.
WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant the Employee a nonqualified
stock option to acquire shares of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value
per share ("Common Stock"); and
WHEREAS, the Employee desires to accept such option subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
covenants and agreements contained herein, the Company and the Employee,
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Grant of Option. As of the Effective Time (as defined in the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 29, 2001, by and among the
Company, JWCH Merger Corp. and InSight Health Services Corp.) (the "Grant
Date"), the Company grants to the Employee a nonqualified stock option (the
"Option") to purchase all (or any part) of _____________ shares of Common
Stock (the "Shares") on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. This
Option is not intended to be treated as an incentive stock option under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
2. Exercise Price. The exercise price ("Exercise Price") for the Shares
covered by the Option shall be $18.00* per share.
3. Vesting and Exercisability. Twenty percent (20%) of the total Option set
forth in Section 1 shall be available for vesting each fiscal year during
the Company's 2002-2006 fiscal years as follows: (A) twenty-five percent
(25%) of the number of available Options for each such fiscal year shall
vest and become exercisable upon the anniversary of the Grant Date in such
fiscal year and (B) seventy-five percent (75%) of the number of available
Options for each such fiscal year shall vest and become exercisable upon
the Company's attainment of the performance goals set forth on Schedule I
attached hereto and incorporated herein. In the event the Employee is
employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries at the time a Change in
Control (as defined below) occurs, all of the Options (to the extent not
already vested) which are to vest over time pursuant to clause (A) above
shall vest immediately prior to the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent any of the Options which may vest pursuant to
clause (B) above do not vest in accordance with Schedule I by the eighth
(8th) anniversary of the Grant Date, they shall be deemed to vest on such
date.
------------------
* Intended to be the subscription price for all stockholders who
subscribe as of the Effective Time. Currently anticipated to be $18.00
per share.
15
<PAGE>
4. Term of Options.
(a) Each Option shall expire on the tenth anniversary
of the Grant Date, but shall be subject to earlier termination as
provided in subsections (b) and (c) below.
(b) If the Employee is terminated for Cause (as
defined in Schedule II hereto) or voluntarily terminates his
employment with the Company at any time without Good Reason (as
defined in Schedule II), the Option shall terminate on the date of
such termination of employment, whether or not then fully vested and
exercisable.
(c) If the Employee is terminated by the Company
without Cause, resigns for Good Reason, dies, or becomes Disabled (as
defined in Schedule II) at any time during the term of his employment
by the Company, any portion of the Option that is not then fully
vested and exercisable shall terminate immediately, provided, however,
that the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") shall have
the discretion to vest any portion of such Employee's Options that
have not yet become eligible to vest, and any such accelerated Options
shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as other Options
that have vested pursuant to Section 3. Any portion of the Option
that is vested and exercisable shall terminate on the 120th day
following such termination of employment.
5. Manner of Exercise of Option.
(a) The Employee may exercise any Option that is
fully vested and exercisable by giving written notice to the Company
stating the number of Shares (which shall not be less than 100, unless
the total Shares which are vested and exercisable at such time is less
than 100) to be purchased and accompanied by payment in full of the
Exercise Price for such Shares. Payment shall be either in cash or by
a certified or bank cashier's check or checks payable to the Company.
At any time when Common Stock is registered under Section 12 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Option may also be
exercised by means of a "broker cashless exercise" procedure approved in all
respects in advance by the Board, in which a broker: (i) transmits the
Exercise Price for any Shares to the Company in cash or acceptable cash
equivalents, either (1) against the Employee's notice of exercise and the
Company's confirmation that it will deliver to the broker stock certificates
issued in the name of the broker for at least that number of Shares having a
fair market value equal to the Exercise Price therefor, or (2) as the proceeds
of a margin loan to the Employee; or (ii) agrees to pay the Exercise Price
therefor to the Company in cash or acceptable cash equivalents upon the
broker's receipt from the Company of stock certificates issued in the name of
the broker for at least that number of Shares having a fair market value equal
to the Exercise Price therefor. The Employee's written notice of exercise of
the Option pursuant to a "cashless exercise" procedure must include the name
and address of the broker involved, a clear description of the procedure, and
such other information or undertaking by the broker as the Board shall
reasonably require. If payment is to
16
<PAGE>
be made in whole or in part in Shares underlying the Option, the Employee
shall direct the Company to subtract from the number of Shares underlying the
Option, that number of Shares having a fair market value (as determined in
good faith by the Board) equal to the purchase price (or portion thereof) to
be paid with such underlying Shares.
Upon such purchase, delivery of a certificate for paid-up,
non-assessable Shares shall be made at the principal office of the Company to
the Employee (or the person entitled to exercise the Option pursuant to
Section 7), not more than 10 days from the date of receipt of the notice by
the Company.
(b) The Company shall at all times during the term
of the Option reserve and keep available such number of Shares as will
be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Option.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 5(a) of this Agreement,
the Company may delay the issuance of Shares covered by the Option and
the delivery of a certificate for such Shares until one of the
following conditions is satisfied: (i) the Shares purchased pursuant
to the Option are at the time of the issuance of such Shares
effectively registered or qualified under applicable federal and state
securities laws or (ii) such Shares are exempt from registration and
qualification under applicable federal and state securities laws.
6. Administration. This Agreement shall be administered by the Board. The
Board shall be authorized to interpret this Agreement and to make all
other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this
Agreement. The determinations of the Board in the administration of this
Agreement, as described herein, shall be final and conclusive. The
Secretary shall be authorized to implement this Agreement in accordance
with its terms and to take such actions of a ministerial nature as shall
be necessary to effectuate the intent and purposes thereof.
7. Non-Transferability. The right of the Employee to exercise the Option (as
and when vested) shall not be assignable or transferable by the Employee
otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such
Shares may be purchased during the lifetime of the Employee only by him
(or his legal representative in the event that he is Disabled). Any other
such transfer shall be null and void and without effect upon any attempted
assignment or transfer, except as hereinabove provided, including without
limitation any purported assignment, whether voluntary or by operation of
law, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition contrary to the provisions
hereof, or levy of execution, attachment, trustee process or similar
process, whether legal or equitable, upon the Option.
8. Representation Letter and Investment Legend.
(a) In the event that for any reason the Shares to
be issued upon exercise of a vested Option shall not be effectively
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"), upon any date on which the Option is exercised, the Employee
(or the person exercising the Option pursuant to Section 7) shall give
a written
17
<PAGE>
representation to the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A, and the Company shall place the legend described on Exhibit A, upon
any certificate for the Shares issued by reason of such exercise.
(b) The Company shall be under no obligation to
qualify Shares or to cause a registration statement or a
post-effective amendment to any registration statement to be prepared
for the purposes of covering the issue of Shares; provided, that the
Company will use its reasonable best efforts to comply with any
available exemption from registration and qualification of the Shares
under applicable federal and state securities laws.
9. Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization.
(a) In the event that the outstanding shares of the
Common Stock of the Company are changed into or exchanged for a
different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company
or of another corporation by reason of any reorganization, merger,
consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up,
combination of shares, or dividends payable in capital stock,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number and kind of Shares,
and the Exercise Price therefor, as to which the Option, to the extent
not theretofore exercised, shall be exercisable.
In addition, unless otherwise determined by the Board in its
sole discretion, in the case of a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined)
of the Company, the purchaser(s) of the Company's assets or stock may, in his,
her or its discretion, deliver to the Employee, to the extent that the right
to purchase Shares under the Option has vested, the same kind of consideration
(net of the Exercise Price for such Shares) that is delivered to the
stockholders of the Company as a result of the Change in Control, or the Board
may, in its sole determination, cancel the Option, to the extent not
theretofore exercised, in exchange for consideration in cash or in kind, which
consideration in either case shall be equal in value to the value of those
shares of stock or other consideration the Employee would have received had
the Option been exercised (to the extent it has vested and not been exercised)
and no disposition of the shares acquired upon such exercise been made prior
to the Change in Control, less the Exercise Price therefor. Upon receipt of
such consideration by the Employee, the Option shall immediately terminate and
be of no further force and effect, with respect to both vested and nonvested
portions thereof. The value of the stock or other securities the Employee
would have received if the Option had been exercised shall be determined in
good faith by the Board. In addition, in the case of a Change in Control, the
Board may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of all or any
portion of the Option that would remain unvested after the application of the
accelerated vesting on Schedule I and Section 3 hereto. A "Change in Control"
shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any person, or any two or more persons
acting as a group, and all affiliates of such person or persons (a "Group")
who prior to such time beneficially owned less than 50% of the then
outstanding capital stock of the Company shall acquire shares of the Company's
capital stock in one or more transactions or series of transactions, including
by merger, and after such transaction or transactions such person or Group and
affiliates beneficially own 50% or more of the Company's outstanding capital
stock, or (ii) the Company shall sell all or substantially all of its assets
to any
18
<PAGE>
Group which, immediately prior to the time of such transaction, beneficially
owned less than 50% of the then outstanding capital stock of the Company.
(b) Upon dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
the Option shall terminate, but the Employee shall have the right,
immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation, to exercise any
then vested Options.
(c) No fraction of a share of Common Stock shall be
purchasable or deliverable upon the exercise of the Option, but in the
event any adjustment hereunder of the number of shares covered by the
Option shall cause such number to include a fraction of a share, such
fraction shall be adjusted to the nearest smaller whole number of
shares.
10. No Special Employment Rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
be construed or deemed by any person under any circumstances to bind the
Company or any of its subsidiaries to continue the employment of the
Employee for the period within which this Option may vest or for any other
period.
11. Rights as a Stockholder. The Employee shall have no rights as a
stockholder with respect to any Shares which may be purchased upon the
vesting of this Option unless and until a certificate or certificates
representing such Shares are duly issued and delivered to the Employee.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no adjustment shall be made
for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the
date the stock certificate is issued.
12. Withholding Taxes. The Employee hereby agrees, as a condition to any
exercise of the Option, to provide to the Company an amount sufficient to
satisfy its obligation to withhold certain federal, state and local taxes
arising by reason of such exercise (the "Withholding Amount"), if any, by
(a) authorizing the Company to withhold the Withholding Amount from his
cash compensation, or (b) remitting the Withholding Amount to the Company
in cash; provided that, to the extent that the Withholding Amount is not
provided by one or a combination of such methods, the Company may at its
election withhold from the Shares delivered upon exercise of the Option
that number of Shares having a fair market value (in the good faith
judgment of the Board) equal to the Withholding Amount.
13. Execution of Stockholders' Agreement. The Employee acknowledges that he
has previously executed and delivered the stockholders agreement by and
among the Company and the stockholders of the Company named therein (the
"Stockholders Agreement"). The Employee further agrees that this
Agreement, the Option and all Shares acquired by him upon exercise of the
Option will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Stockholders
Agreement, as the same may have been amended or modified in accordance
with its terms.
14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State
of Delaware, without regard to any conflicts of law principles thereof
that would call for the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on
any right arising out of, this Agreement may be brought against either of
the parties in the courts of the State of Delaware, or if it has or can
acquire jurisdiction, in the
19
<PAGE>
United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each of the
parties hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the
appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives
any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any action or proceeding
referred to in the preceding sentence may be served on any party anywhere
in the world, whether within or without the State of Delaware.

SCHEDULE I
OPTION PERFORMANCE VESTING SCHEDULE
(a) For each of the Company's fiscal years ending June 30 in the years
2002 through 2006, the portion of the total Option described in clause (B) of
Section 3 of the Agreement shall vest and become exercisable if the Company
achieves a return on equity ("ROE") for such year that equals or exceeds the
following Base Targets:
Base Target 90% of Base Target
----------- ------------------
2002 1.11 1.00
2003 2.40 2.16
2004 3.50 3.15
2005 5.00 4.50
2006 6.50 5.85
If the Company achieves more than 90% but less than 100% of the Base Target
ROE in any fiscal year, the Options available to vest in that year shall vest
in the ratio by which ROE achieved exceeds 90% of Base Target ROE for such
fiscal year (i.e., for ROE of 90.5% of Base Target ROE, one-twentieth of the
available Options would vest; for ROE of 96%, six-tenths of the available
Options would vest).
For purposes hereof, ROE for any fiscal year shall be calculated by
the following formula: [(5.25 x EBITDA) - D+C]/TE where
D = the Company's Consolidated Indebtedness at fiscal
year-end (or at time of sale of the Company)
C = the Company's Excess Cash at fiscal year-end (or at
time of sale of the Company)
TE = total equity invested as of the Effective Time
(including the net pre-tax value of any options rolled
over as of the Effective Time)
EBITDA = EBITDA for such fiscal year
If TE is increased at any time after the Effective Time and during the
Company's fiscal years ending on June 30 in the years 2002 through 2006, the
Board, in good faith, shall adjust the Base Targets. The Options available for
vesting shall vest, if the Targets are met, upon completion of the audit for
the Company and its subsidiaries' consolidated financial statements for such
fiscal year.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the fiscal year ending June
30, 2006, (1) the percentage of Options available to vest that do vest exceeds
(2) the cumulative percentage of Options available to vest in the fiscal years
ending June 30 in the years 2002-2005 that did vest in those years, the
vesting percentage achieved in fiscal year ending June 30, 2006 shall be
SCHEDULE I-1
<PAGE>
carried back to the fiscal years ending June 30 in the years 2002-2005 and
applied to the Options available to vest in those fiscal years. The number of
vested Options for the fiscal years ending on June 30 in the years 2002
through 2005 shall be adjusted to reflect such higher percentage.
(c) (1) In the event a Change in Control of the Company occurs before
the end of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006, the Base Target for the year
in which the Change in Control occurs and the above formula will be modified
as follows:
- the Base Target for such year will be adjusted to be an
amount determined by adding to the Base Target for the fiscal year immediately
prior to the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs an amount equal
to the product of (i) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days
that elapsed since the first day of the fiscal year in which the Change in
Control occurs until the date of the consummation of the Change in Control and
the denominator of which is 365 and (ii) the difference between the Base
Target for the year in which the Change in Control occurs and the Base Target
for the immediately preceding fiscal year.
- the formula for determining ROE at the time of the Change in
Control will be adjusted by using EBITDA for the 12 full calendar months
immediately preceding the date of the Change in Control so that the multiple
of EBITDA used will be the greater of 5.25 and the multiple used in
determining the Company's enterprise value in the Change in Control.
(2) The percentage of Options that vest in accordance with the formula
as so modified will then be applied to fiscal years preceding and following
the year in which the Change in Control occurs and the number of vested
Options shall be adjusted to reflect such percentage; provided that, if the
cumulative percentage of Options that vested in the fiscal years preceding the
Change in Control exceeds the percentage that vest in the fiscal year of the
Change in Control pursuant to the modified formula, the cumulative percentage
of Options that vested prior to the Change in Control will instead be applied
to the fiscal years that follow the Change in Control.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event J.W. Childs Equity
Partners II, L.P., Halifax Capital Partners, L.P. and their respective
affiliates each receive a net cash return on their total investment in the
Company resulting (i) in an internal rate of return of at least 35% on their
total investment in the Company and (ii) in an amount of cash equal to at
least three times their respective total investment in the Company, then
one-third of the total Options described in clause (B) of Section 3 of the
Agreement (i.e., 25% of the total Option set forth in Section 1 of the
Agreement) shall vest and become exercisable. This vesting provision is not
intended to be additive to the preceding provisions, but is intended to be in
the alternative.
For purposes of this Schedule I, the following terms have the
following meanings:
"Consolidated Indebtedness" shall mean, as of any date, the aggregate
amount outstanding, on a consolidated basis, of (a) all obligations of the
Company or its subsidiaries for borrowed money, (b) all obligations of the
Company or its subsidiaries evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other
similar instruments or upon which interest charges are customarily paid, (c)
all obligations of the Company or its subsidiaries for the deferred purchase
price of property or services, except current accounts payable arising in the
ordinary course of business
SCHEDULE I-2
<PAGE>
and not overdue beyond such period as is commercially reasonable for the
Company or its subsidiaries' business, (d) all obligations of the Company or
its subsidiaries under conditional sale or other title retention agreements
relating to property purchased by such Person and all capitalized lease
obligations, (e) all payment obligations of the Company or its subsidiaries on
or for currency protection agreements, (f) all obligations of the Company or
its subsidiaries as an account party under any letter of credit (excluding
those supporting trade payables), (g) all obligations of any third party
secured by property or assets of the Company or its subsidiaries (regardless
of whether or not such Person is liable for repayment of such obligations) and
(h) all guarantees of the Company or its subsidiaries.
"EBITDA" shall mean consolidated earnings of the Company and its
subsidiaries, including equity in the earnings from non-consolidated
subsidiaries, before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and the
management fees paid to J.W. Childs Associates, L.P. and The Halifax Group,
L.L.C. or any of their respective affiliates and after deduction of all
operating expenses, minority interest expenses and incentive compensation, all
as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied, as reflected in the Company's consolidated financial
statements. For purposes of calculating EBITDA, upon the Company making an
acquisition or disposition of any assets or business, the Board, in good
faith, shall adjust EBITDA for any fiscal year to include or exclude on a pro
forma basis, as applicable, the EBITDA for such assets or business for the
period of time the assets or business are not owned by the Company for the
fiscal year in which the assets or business are acquired or sold.
"Excess Cash" shall mean cash in excess of the Company and its
subsidiaries' operating needs, in the good faith judgment of the Board.

EXHIBIT A
TO STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Gentlemen:
In connection with the purchase by me of ___________________ shares of
common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of InSight Health Services Holdings
Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") under the nonqualified stock
option granted to me pursuant to that certain Stock Option Agreement dated as
of June ____, 2001 (the "Option Agreement"), I hereby acknowledge that I have
been informed as follows:
EXHIBIT A-1
<PAGE>
1. The shares of common stock of the Company to be issued to me upon
exercise of said option have not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"), and accordingly, must be held indefinitely
unless such shares are subsequently registered under the Act, or an exemption
from such registration is available.
2. Routine sales of securities made in reliance upon Rule 144 under
the Act can be made only after the holding period and in limited amounts in
accordance with the terms and conditions provided by that Rule, and with
respect to which that Rule is not applicable, registration or compliance with
some other exemption under the Act will be required.
3. The Company is under no obligation to me to register the shares or
to comply with any such exemptions under the Act, other than as set forth in
the Stockholders' Agreement referenced and defined in paragraph 13 of the
Option Agreement (the "Stockholders Agreement").
4. The availability of Rule 144 is dependent upon adequate current
public information with respect to the Company being available and, at the
time that I may desire to make a sale pursuant to the Rule, the Company may
neither wish nor be able to comply with such requirement.
5. The shares of common stock of the Company to be issued to me upon
the exercise of said option are subject to the terms and conditions, including
restrictions on transfer, of the Stockholders Agreement.
In consideration of the issuance of certificates for the shares to me, I
hereby represent and warrant that I am acquiring such shares for my own
account for investment, and that I will not sell, pledge, hypothecate or
otherwise transfer such shares in the absence of an effective registration
statement covering the same, except as permitted by an applicable exemption
under the Act. In view of this representation and warranty, I agree that there
may be affixed to the certificates for the shares to be issued to me, and to
all certificates issued hereafter representing such shares (until in the
opinion of counsel, which opinion must be reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to counsel for the Company, it is no longer necessary or required) a

I further agree that the Company may place a stop order with its

I hereby represent and warrant that: My financial situation is such
that I can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the shares issued to me
upon exercise of said option for an indefinite period of time, I have no need
for liquidity with respect to my investment and have adequate means to provide
for my current needs and personal contingencies, and can afford to suffer the
complete loss of my investment in such shares.
(a) I am an "accredited investor" within the meaning of
Rule 501 under the Act and I, either alone or with my purchaser
representative (as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Act)
have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
that I am capable of evaluating the merits and risks of my investment
in the shares issued to me upon exercise of said option.
(b) I have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions
of, and to receive answers from, the Company and its representatives
concerning the shares issued to me upon exercise of said option and to
obtain any additional information I have deemed necessary.

operations, financial condition and prospects of the Company.
Very truly yours,
