earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Option Agreement, upon
Optionee's death Optionee's executor, personal representative or the person

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

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
