         2. WITHHOLDING. The Participant acknowledges that the Company will have
certain  withholding  obligations  upon the  issuance  or  delivery of any stock
certificates representing shares of Stock awarded pursuant to this Agreement. In
the event the total amount  otherwise  payable by the Company to the Participant

withhold,  the Participant  shall pay to the Company such amounts as the Company
is required to withhold in excess of such total amount otherwise  payable to the
Participant, as and when required by law.

         3. ADDITIONAL TERMS.

         (a) Construction.  The Plan and this Agreement will be construed by and
administered  under the  supervision  of the Committee (as defined in the Plan),
and all  determinations  of the  Committee  will be  final  and  binding  on the
Participant.

         (b) Dilution.  Nothing in the Plan or this  Agreement  will restrict or
limit in any way the right of the Board of  Directors of the Company to issue or
sell stock of the Company (or securities  convertible into stock of the Company)
on such  terms and  conditions  as it deems to be in the best  interests  of the
Company, including,  without limitation,  stock and securities issued or sold in
connection  with mergers and  acquisitions,  stock issued or sold in  connection
with any stock option or similar plan,  and stock issued or  contributed  to any
qualified stock bonus or employee stock ownership plan.
