in whole or in part, by delivering written notice of exercise to DH in such form
as DH may require from time to time. Such notice shall specify the number of
Options being exercised, and shall be accompanied by full payment of the

Options may be exercised only in multiples of whole shares of Class B Common
Stock and no partial shares shall be issued.
Section 3.3 Issuance of Shares and Payment of Cash upon
Exercise. Upon exercise of the Options, in whole or in part, in accordance with
the terms of this Option Agreement and upon payment of the Aggregate Option
Price, DH shall issue to Optionee the number of shares of Class B Common Stock
equal to the number of Options being exercised and for which payment was
received, in the form of fully paid and non-assessable Class B Common Stock.

<PAGE>
Section 3.4 Reservation of Shares. DH shall at all times
reserve and keep available for issuance upon the exercise of Options a number of
its authorized but unissued shares of Class B Common Stock that will be
sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Options.
ARTICLE 4
TERMINATION OF OPTIONS
Section 4.1 Upon Optionee's Death. Unless such Options are
earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Option Agreement, upon
Optionee's death Optionee's executor, personal representative or the person to
whom the Options shall have been transferred by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, as the case may be, may exercise all or any part of the Options
not previously exercised, provided such exercise occurs within twelve (12)
months after the date Optionee dies, but not later than the end of the stated
term of the Option and, provided further, that such person executes a
Stockholders Agreement in such form as DH may prescribe.
Section 4.2 Termination of Employment For Reason Other Than
Death or Disability. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of
this Option Agreement, Options granted to Optionee shall terminate with respect
to any shares of Class B Common Stock as to which the Option has not been
exercised, as of the date Optionee is no longer employed by either DH or an
Affiliate for any reason other than Optionee's death or Disability (as such term
is defined in the Employment Agreement).
Section 4.3 Termination of Employment By Reason of Disability.
Unless the Options have earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of this
Option Agreement, in the event that Optionee ceases to be an employee of DH or
an Affiliate by reason of Disability, Options that have not yet been exercised
may be exercised in whole or in part at any time on or after the date of
Disability, but not later than the end of the stated term of the Option or as
otherwise provided by the provisions of Section 4.1 of this Option Agreement.
ARTICLE 5
ADJUSTMENTS
Section 5.1 Adjustment of Number of Options; Option Price.
Subject to the provisions of this Article 5, the Option Price shall be subject
to adjustment as follows:
(a) In the event any change is made to the Class B
Common Stock (whether by reason of (i) a merger, consolidation, reorganization
or recapitalization of DH or (ii) a stock dividend, stock split, combination
of shares, exchange of shares or other change in capital structure of DH
effected without receipt of consideration), then, appropriate adjustments
shall be made to the number of shares and Option Price of the Class B Common
Stock subject to the Options.
(b) If DH is the surviving entity in any merger or
other business combination then the Options outstanding immediately after such
merger or other business combination, shall be appropriately adjusted to apply
and pertain to the number and class of securities that would be issuable to the
Optionee in the consummation of such merger or business combination if the
Options were exercised immediately prior to such merger or business combination,
and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Option Price.
ARTICLE 6
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 6.1 No Rights of Stockholder. Optionee shall not have
any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Class B Common
Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the Options until such shares of
Class B Common Stock have been issued to Optionee upon the due exercise of the
Options.
Section 6.2 Nontransferability of Option. The Option shall be
nontransferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
During the lifetime of Optionee, the Options may be exercised only by Optionee
or, during the period Optionee is under a legal disability, by Optionee's
guardian or legal representative.
Section 6.3 Non-Guarantee of Employment. Nothing in the
Offering, the Employment Agreement or this Option Agreement shall be construed
as a contract of employment between DH (or an Affiliate) and Optionee, or as a
contractual right of Optionee to continue in the employ of DH or an Affiliate,
or as a limitation of the right of DH or an Affiliate to discharge Optionee at
any time.
Section 6.4 Withholding Taxes. DH or any Affiliate shall have
the right to deduct from any compensation or any other payment of any kind
(including withholding the issuance of shares of Class B Common Stock) due
Optionee the amount of any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be
withheld as the result of the exercise of the Option or the disposition of
shares of Class B Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Option.
In lieu of such deduction, DH may require Optionee to make a cash payment to DH
or an Affiliate equal to the amount required to be withheld. If Optionee does
not make such payment when requested, DH may refuse to issue any Class B Common
Stock certificate until arrangements satisfactory to the Company for such
payment have been made.
