ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

Unless otherwise indicated, the term "SYNCOR" or the "COMPANY" as used in this
report refers to Syncor International Corporation incorporated in 1985 under the
laws of the state of Delaware or Syncor International Corporation and one or
more of its consolidated subsidiaries.

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

The general development of the Company's business for the seven-month transition
period ended December 31, 1993 (the "TRANSITION PERIOD") is covered in the
President's letter to the Company's shareholders in the Company's Annual Report
to Shareholders for said period and is hereby incorporated by reference.  A copy
of the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders is attached hereto as Exhibit 13.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Principal Products Produced and Services Rendered

The Company is a high-tech pharmacy services company which is primarily engaged
in compounding, dispensing and distributing radiopharmaceutical products to
hospitals and clinics through its nationwide network of 109 pharmacies.  Three
of the pharmacies also include Positron Emission Tomography ("PET") pharmacy
services.  The radiopharmaceuticals provided by the Company are principally used
for diagnostic imaging of physiological functions and organ systems.  In
addition, the Company provides various services in connection with the sale of
radiopharmaceuticals, including radiopharmaceutical record keeping required by
federal and state government agencies, and radiopharmaceutical technical
consulting.  The Company estimates that in the United States its pharmacies
service approximately 7,000 hospitals and clinics in 36 states throughout the
country.  During each of the last two fiscal years and the Transition Period,
the pharmacies contributed more than 95 percent of the consolidated net sales of
the Company.

Other activities of the Company include the marketing and distribution of
imaging cold kits, isotopes, and medical reference sources in addition to
nuclear and pharmacy equipment and accessories.  The Company also is involved in
a pilot program designed to deliver unit dose chemotherapeutic solutions
directly to oncologist's offices and clinics ("SOS").  Early indications point
to an acceptance of the concept by oncologists.  However, management believes
that it should test this concept for an additional period of time before
attempting to expand this line of business.

The description of Syncor's various activities in the Company's Annual Report to
Shareholders for the Transition Period are hereby incorporated by reference.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials

The Company pharmacies dispense approximately 50 different radiopharmaceutical
products which are obtained primarily from five suppliers.  Management believes
that, if any one of the suppliers of radiopharmaceuticals failed to supply
products then the other suppliers would be able to supply most of those
products.  If two or more suppliers were unable to provide products at a
particular time, it could have an adverse effect on the Company's business. 
During the quarter ending August 31, 1993 supply of Indium-111 oxine, a
proprietary product of one supplier, has been sporadic.  However, such problem
appears to have been resolved.  Otherwise, to date, the pharmacies have not
experienced any difficulty in securing supplies of radiopharmaceutical products.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses and Distribution Agreements

The Company owns a number of trademarks and has a variety of license
agreements.  In addition, the Company has entered into exclusive radio-
pharmacy distribution agreements with two suppliers of certain proprietary
radiopharmaceutical products.  While certain of the foregoing items are
considered to be of value to the Company, management believes at present
its competitive position is dependent principally on the efficient operation
of its pharmacies and high quality of its customer service.

On December 3, 1993 the Company entered into a new long-term distribution
agreement with its principal supplier of radiopharmaceutical products, The
Radiopharmaceutical Division of The DuPont Merck Pharmaceutical Company.  The
agreement became effective February 1, 1994, replacing an existing supply
agreement between the companies which has been in place since 1988.

Dependence on Customers

The Company's operations are such that none of its business is dependent upon a
single customer or a very few customers to the extent that the loss of such
would have a material impact on operations.

Competitive Conditions

The Company's pharmacies compete primarily with the large manufacturers of
radiopharmaceuticals, which directly supply radiopharmaceutical products to the
hospitals.  Two of such manufacturers have set-up their own centralized
radiopharmacies to supply customers.  The Company also competes with a number of
other independent entities, each of which operate one or more radiopharmacies. 
In certain markets, there is competition with universities which own and operate
centralized radiopharmacies.  The principal competitive practices of the
manufacturers and others involve price and service.  The management believes
that, the advantages to a hospital of using a centralized radiopharmacy rather
than preparing its own radiopharmaceutical products include: (I) reduced risk of
radiation exposure to hospital personnel; (II) cost savings due to Syncor's
volume purchasing power; (III) better utilization of the time sensitive products
purchased from the radiopharmaceutical manufacturers; and, (IV) reduction in the
time needed to maintain extensive records required by the regulatory agencies. 
In addition, the Company's pharmacies provide quality controlled unit dose
radiopharmaceuticals, comprehensive nuclear medicine product-line availability,
professional consultation and delivery services, and specialized computer
hardware and proprietary software products for nuclear medicine operations.

Government Regulation

Each of the Company's domestic pharmacies is licensed by and must comply with
the regulations of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") or
corresponding state agencies.  In addition, each such pharmacy is licensed and
regulated by the Board of Pharmacy in the state where it is located.

Periodic inspections of the Company's pharmacies are conducted by the NRC and
various other federal and state agencies.  Inspection results which lead to
escalated enforcement action could lead to the imposition of fines or the
suspension, revocation or denial of renewal of the licenses for the location
inspected.  The Company devotes substantial human and financial resources to
ensure continued regulatory compliance and believes that it is currently in
compliance with all material rules and regulations.

In addition to the Company being subject to the various federal and state
regulations relating to occupational safety and health, and the use and disposal
of biohazardous materials, the Company's products are subject to the federal and
state regulations relating to drugs and medical devices.

Compliance with the applicable environmental control laws or regulations, such
as those regulating the use and disposal of radioactive materials, is inherent
to the normal operations of the pharmacies and has not had a material adverse
effect on the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the
Company.

Foreign Operations

Syncor owns and operates nuclear pharmacies in Taipei, Taiwan and Hong Kong.  In
1993, the Company entered into joint venture agreements with various parties in
the Republic of China to open and operate pharmacies in Beijing and Shanghai. 
The Company anticipates expanding its operations in other Pacific Rim
countries in the future.

Employees

As of December 31, 1993, Syncor employed approximately 2,088 people.  However,
the full time equivalent for the same period was approximately 1,363 people.

ITEM  2.  PROPERTIES.

Pharmacy lease terms vary from less than one year up to approximately ten years,
and average approximately five years.  Leased areas average approximately 4,500
square feet each.

The Company leases its Corporate Office facilities in Chatsworth, California,
pursuant to a lease that commenced on March 1, 1987.  The lease is for the term
of ten years with two successive five year renewal options.  Presently, the
Company leases approximately 76,464 square feet at such location.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

There are various litigation proceedings in which the Company and its
subsidiaries are involved.  Many of the claims asserted against the Company in
these proceedings are covered by insurance.  The results of litigation
proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty.  However, in the opinion of the
Company's General Counsel, such proceedings either are without merit or do not
have a potential liability which would materially affect the financial condition
of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.


ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the last month
of the Transition Period.

limitation, the trustees of any testamentary or inter vivos trust) designated
from time to time in writing by a Participant to receive payments under the Plan
after the death of such Participant, or, in the absence of any such designation
or in the event that such designated persons or person shall predecease such
Participant, or shall not be in existence or shall otherwise be unable to

the Company.

     d.  "COMPENSATION" shall mean payments that a Participant receives from the
Company for services as a Director or as an employee, including bonuses, if any.

     e.  "DEFERRED AMOUNT" shall mean an amount of Compensation deferred under
this Plan up to 15% of Participant's Compensation for any Plan Year; and "NON-
MATCHED DEFERRED AMOUNT" shall mean an amount of Compensation deferred under
this Plan over and above a Deferred Amount for any Plan Year. 

     f.  "DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNT" shall mean the bookkeeping account
established by the Company, directly or indirectly, to record credits for
Deferred Amounts and Non-Matched Deferred Amounts under this Plan, plus earnings
thereon, and to record debits for distributions to Participants or for the
purchase of one or more life insurance policies (not, however, including amounts
that the Participant directs be invested in investment alternatives pursuant to
Section 6).  The Plan Committee  may adopt such sub-accounts as the Plan
Committee  deems necessary or desirable.

     g.  "DIRECTOR" shall mean any member of the Board of Directors of the
Company who is not an employee of the Company.

     h.  "EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN" shall mean July l, 1991.

     i.  "PARTICIPANT" shall mean any Director or employee who is participating

Compensation Plan, as from time to time amended and in effect.

     k.  "PLAN COMMITTEE" shall mean the person or persons appointed by the
Chief Executive Officer of Syncor International Corporation to administer the
Plan.  Some of the routine administrative functions can be assigned to any

to include the singular; in each case the context requires.
3.  SELECTION OF PARTICIPANTS.  The Board of Directors shall select Directors
and employees of the Company who shall be eligible to become Participants from
Directors and from management or highly-compensated employees of the Company who
qualify for inclusion in a "select group of management or highly compensated
employees" as defined in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), 401(a)(l) and 4021(b)(6) of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

4.  PERIOD OF PARTICIPATION.  A Participant shall continue to participate in
this Plan until the amounts credited to his Deferred Compensation Account have
been distributed as a result of termination of the Plan pursuant to Section 13
or his Termination of Service, but if he fails to continue to satisfy the
eligibility requirements under Section 3, he no longer will be eligible to elect
to defer compensation pursuant to Section 5.  A Participant may notify the Plan
Committee in writing that he no longer wishes to defer compensation pursuant to
Section 5 for a year or years, but this will not terminate his participation in
this Plan.

5.  DEFERRAL OF COMPENSATION.  Each Participant who is a Director may elect to
have all or a portion of his Compensation for any Plan Year deferred under this
Plan, and each other Participant may elect to defer within increments of 5%, up
to 25%, of his Compensation for any Plan Year.  Such election shall be executed
in writing by the Participant and filed with the Plan Committee, prior to the
beginning of the Plan Year during which such Compensation is earned, on a form
prescribed by the Plan Committee.  If no such election is filed the percentage
elected for the prior Plan Year shall be continued to be deferred for the new
Plan Year.


6.  INVESTMENT OF DEFERRED AMOUNTS.  The Plan Committee may, but shall not be
required to, invest a Participant's Deferred Amounts in one or more insurance
policies offered by an insurance company acceptable to the Plan Committee.  If
such an investment is made and the insurance company offers investment
alternatives, the Participant may direct that portions of his Deferred Amounts
and/or Non-Matched Deferred Amounts be invested in the various alternatives in
multiples of 10%.  The investment results of such investments shall be credited
or debited to the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account at least annually
on such date or dates as determined by the Plan Committee.  In the event such an
investment is not made by the Plan Committee, investment results shall be
credited or debited to the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account as if
such an investment had been made in accordance with the investment alternatives
chosen by the Participant on his deferral election form filed with the Plan
Committee.

7.  CHANGES IN INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES.  A Participant may direct that his
Deferred Amounts, Non-Matched Deferred Amounts or future Deferred Amounts and
future Non-Matched Deferred Amounts be invested in different investment
alternatives for each Plan Year, if such alternatives are available.  In
addition, at the end of each Plan Year (and at such other times as the Plan
Committee may designate), a Participant may request that the accumulated current
value of all or a portion of his Deferred Compensation Account be changed from
previously designated investment alternatives to newly designated investment
alternatives.

8.  DISTRIBUTION.

     a.  In the event that a Participant has a Termination of Service (or in the
event that there is an earlier termination of the Plan pursuant to Section 13),
the balance in his Deferred Compensation Account at that time, adjusted to
reflect results of investments pursuant to Section 6 at that time and the cash
surrender value at that time of the insurance policy, if any, in which the
Participant's Deferred Compensation Account is invested on the basis of the
Participant's directions, shall be paid to the Participant or his Beneficiary in
a lump-sum within 30 days of the event permitting the distribution.

     b.  The Plan Committee is empowered to accelerate the payment of amounts
from the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account to a Participant in the
event the Plan Committee determines that the Participant: (I) has become totally
disabled in that he is prevented from engaging in any suitable gainful
employment or occupation, based on medical evidence satisfactory to the Plan
Committee, and that such disability will be permanent and continuous for the
remainder of his life; or (II) has a demonstrated financial hardship, based on
circumstances beyond his control, severely affecting his financial affairs or
clearly endangering his family with present or impending want or deprivation.

9.  ADDITIONAL CASH DISTRIBUTION.  In addition to any distribution under Section
8, the Company shall pay to the Participant or his Beneficiary an additional
cash payment equal to 42.857% of the distribution under Section 8 attributable
to the Deferred Amount.  This distribution shall be made within 30 days of the
event permitting the distribution under Section 8.  No additional cash payment
shall be paid in connection with amounts attributable to the Non-Matched
Deferred Amounts.

10.  DEATH BENEFIT.  If a Participant should die while participating in this
Plan but before an event permitting a distribution under Section 8, his
Beneficiary shall be paid a death benefit.  This death benefit shall be equal to
the following:

     a.  With respect to amounts attributable to the Deferred Amount the sum of:
(I) the Deferred Compensation Account; (II) the additional Cash Distribution
described in Section 9; and (III) fifty percent (50%) of the difference between
the portion of the Deferred Compensation Account attributable to the Deferred
Account and any death benefit attributable to insurance acquired by the Company
attributable to the Deferred Amounts.

     b.  With respect to amounts attributable to the Non-Matched Deferred
Amount, one hundred percent (100%) of the amount attributable to insurance
acquired by the Company attributable to the Non-Matched Deferred Amount.

     c.  Notwithstanding the forgoing, the death benefit hereunder shall be
equal to the sum of Deferred Amounts and Non-Matched Deferred Amounts made by
the Participant under this Plan, if the Participant commits suicide, while sane
or insane, within 2 years: (I) from the date of issue of any life insurance
policy purchased on the life of the Participant pursuant to Section 11; (II)
from the Participant's date of entry into this Plan, if no such policy is
purchased; or (III) fraudulent misrepresentations of any facts material to any
application for such insurance are discovered.  This provision shall apply
independently to each and every life insurance policy purchased on the life of
the Participant.

11.  INSURANCE.  The death benefit provided for in Section 10 may be provided by
the purchase by the Company of one or more insurance policies on the life of the
Participant.  The Participant shall cooperate fully with the Company and any
insurance company in applying for such insurance by submitting to all necessary
medical examinations and by submitting such information as may be required by
the Company or the insurance company from which the Company intends to purchase
the insurance.  The insurance company issuing any policy of insurance to the
Company shall not be a party to this Plan and shall be bound only by the terms
of the insurance policies issued by it. The cost of any insurance under a policy
purchased by the Company on the life of a Participant, as opposed to amounts
deposited by the Company with the insurance company for investment, shall be
debited to the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account, and, prior to the
time the Participant has a Termination of Service:

     a.  The Company shall be the beneficiary of the insurance policy, and the
Company shall keep possession of the insurance policy;

     b.  All premiums due on the insurance policy shall be paid by the Company
from the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account, but shall in no event
exceed the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account;

     c.  In the event of the death of the Participant, the Company, its
successors or assigns, shall be entitled to receive the insurance proceeds under
the insurance policy; and

     d.  The Company shall have each and every right of ownership of such
insurance policy.

     If any insurance policy is transferred by the Company to a grantor trust as
described in Section 15, the trust shall be substituted for the term "Company"
for purposes of this Section.

12.  BENEFICIARY.  At the time a Participant elects to defer Compensation
pursuant to this Plan, he shall designate on a form prescribed by the Plan
Committee a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries for any amount which may become payable
under the Plan in the event of his death.  Any such designation may be changed
by a Participant at any time by filing a new Beneficiary designation on a form
prescribed by the Plan Committee.  The most recent Beneficiary designation filed
by a Participant shall be controlling at the time of the Participant's death.

13.  AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION.  The Board of Directors may amend or terminate
this Plan at any time, for any reason, including, but not limited to, a
determination by the Board of Directors that changes in the tax laws or
accounting principles negate or diminish the continued value of the Plan.  No
amendment or termination shall adversely affect any then existing Deferred
Compensation Accounts or rights under this Plan.

14.  EXPENSES.   The expenses of administering the Plan and any grantor trust
described in Section 15 shall be borne by the Company.  Other expenses shall be
borne by the Company but shall be debited to the applicable Participant's
Deferred Compensation Account.

15.  NO TRUST.  No action by the Company or its Board of Directors under this
Plan shall be construed as creating a trust, escrow or other secured or
segregated fund or other fiduciary relationship of any kind in favor of any
Participant, his Beneficiary, or any other persons otherwise entitled to his
Deferred Compensation Account, nor shall any of said persons have rights under
any agreement or insurance policy in connection therewith between the Company
and the insurance company.  The status of the Participant and his Beneficiary
with respect to any liabilities assumed by the Company hereunder shall be solely
those of unsecured creditors of the Company.  Any insurance policy or any other
asset acquired or held by the Company in connection with liabilities assumed by
it hereunder, shall not be deemed to be held under any trust, escrow or other
secured or segregated fund or other fiduciary relationship of any kind for the
benefit of the Participant or his Beneficiaries or to be security for the
performance of the obligations of the Company, but shall be, and remain a
general, unpledged, unrestricted asset of the Company at all times subject to
the claims of general creditors of the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company may transfer assets, including any insurance policies to a grantor
trust of the type known as a "Rabbi Trust" with the Company as grantor and owner
of such trust but with no Participant or Beneficiary having any right therein
other than as a general creditor of the Company.

16.  NO ASSIGNABILITY.  Neither the Participant nor any other person shall
acquire any right to or interest in any amount awarded to the Participant,
otherwise than by actual payment in accordance with the provisions of this Plan,
or have any power, voluntarily or involuntarily, to transfer, assign,
anticipate, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber, alienate or transfer any
rights hereunder in advance of any of the payments to be made pursuant to the
Plan or any portion thereof.  With respect to an insurance policy, neither the
Participant nor his spouse nor any Beneficiary shall have any rights to
transfer, assign, anticipate, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber, alienate
or transfer any rights thereunder in advance of any right to receive any
payments under the insurance policy, which payments and the rights thereto are
hereby expressly declared to be non-assignable and non-transferable.

17.  WITHHOLDING.  The Company shall comply with all federal and state laws and
regulations respecting the withholding, deposit and payment of any income or
employment taxes relating to payments from Deferred Compensation Accounts under
this Plan.

18.  NO IMPACT ON DIRECTORSHIP OR EMPLOYMENT.  This Plan shall not be construed
to confer any right on the part of a Participant to be or remain a Director or
employee of the Company or to receive any, or any particular rate of,
Compensation.

19.  INTERPRETATIONS.  Interpretations of, and determinations related to, this
Plan made by the Plan Committee in good faith, including any determinations of
Deferred Amounts or Deferred Compensation Account balances, shall be conclusive
and binding upon all parties; and the Company and the Plan Committee shall not
incur any liability to a Participant for any such interpretation or
determination so made or for any other action taken by it in connection with
this Plan.  This Plan under no circumstances shall be deemed a contract of
insurance.

20.  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  This Plan shall be binding on and inure to the
benefit of the Company and the Participants and their Beneficiaries, and their
respective heirs and assigns.

21.  APPLICABLE LAW.  The provisions of the Plan shall be construed,
administered and enforced according to the laws of the State of California.

22.  NOTICE.  In the event of a Participant's termination, retirement or death,
he or his Beneficiary, as the case may be, should notify the Company promptly,
and the Company will then provide a claimant's statement form for completion
which should be returned to the Company, together with an official death
certificate, if applicable.  In the event that any claim hereunder is denied,
the Company will provide adequate notice in writing to such Participant or
Beneficiary, setting forth the specific reason for such denial and, in addition,
the Company will afford reasonable opportunity for a full and fair review of
those reasons.

However, this shall not be construed as preventing Corporate Officer from
investing the Corporate Officer's personal assets in such form or manner as may

     5.4.2    At each Board of Directors meeting coinciding with the Employer's
annual shareholders' meeting the President and Chief Executive Officer and the
Compensation Committee shall consider the adequacy of Corporate Officer's then

the parties.  It may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing,
signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change,

      or not he is a Participant hereunder. The establishment and maintenance of
      this Plan shall not be construed as creating or modifying any contract
      between the Employer and its officers, nor is it in lieu of any other
      benefits.

6.2   Participation by any officer in this Plan shall not give such person the
      right to be retained in the employ of the Employer or any right or
      interest in this Plan other than as provided herein.

6.3   Benefits under this Plan shall not be subject in any manner to
      anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or

      fund or other fiduciary relationship of any kind in favor of any
      Participant, his Beneficiary, or any other persons otherwise entitled to
      his plan benefits  The status of the Participant and his Beneficiary with

      times subject to the claims of general creditors of the Employer.

      responsibility for the compilation and maintenance of all records
      necessary in connection with the Plan; (b) authorizing the payment of all

      Plan and to resolve all issues of fact and law in connection with such
      determination. Decisions by the Employer shall be final and binding upon
      all the parties.

      The Employer, from time to time, may allocate to other persons or
      organizations any of its rights, powers, and duties with respect to the
      operation and administration of the Plan. Any such allocation shall be
      reviewed from time to time by the Employer; shall, unless the Employer
      specifies otherwise, carry such discretionary authority as the Employer
      possesses regarding the matter; and shall be terminable upon such notice
      as the Employer, in its sole discretion, deems reasonable and prudent
      under the circumstances.

6.8   Any payment to a Participant or Beneficiary or the legal representative of
      either, in accordance with the terms of this Plan shall to the extent
      thereof be in full satisfaction of all claims such person may have against
      the Employer. The Employer may require such payee, as a condition to such
      payment, to execute a receipt and release therefore in such form as shall
      be determined by the Employer. 

6.9   The Plan shall be construed, administered, and governed in all respects in
      accordance with the laws of the State of California to the extent not
      preempted by ERISA. If any provision of this Plan shall be held by a court
      of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
      provisions shall continue to be fully effective.

                                             Title:__________________________ 

                                            
                       SPLIT OWNER/SPLIT DOLLAR ASSIGNMENT

Gene McGrevin, hereinafter referred to as "Owner," has this date applied to John
Hancock Variable Life for life insurance in the specified amount of $2,000,000
on the life of Gene McGrevin, the Insured. Syncor International Corporation, of
Chatsworth California, hereinafter referred to as "Assignee-Owner," desires to
assist Owner in establishing and maintaining the above-described policy on the
life of Gene McGrevin. Therefore, Assignee-Owner agrees to receive, by way of
this Assignment, a limited policy ownership and to pay corresponding premiums
under the Split Dollar variation set forth below.


I.      SPLIT DOLLAR VARIATION

        EMPLOYER-PAY-ALL: An annual premium of $60,000 per year for a period of
        ten consecutive years.

II.     LIMITED POLICY OWNERSHIP RIGHTS

        Owner, upon acceptance by John Hancock Variable Life of the insurance
        applied for above, does thereupon assign, transfer and set over to
        Assignee-Owner (its successors or assigns), a specific and limited
        policy ownership interest in said policy in consideration of the premium
        payment paid by the Assignee-Owner as of the date of issue (receipt of
        which is hereby acknowledged), and in consideration of such subsequent
        premium payments made upon each future premium due date.

        Assignee-Owner, alone, will, to the extent of its policy interest,
        receive from the Owner an amount equal to such interest upon surrender
        or cancellation of the policy by the Owner, or receive such interest
        from the death proceeds, upon the death of the Insured.

III.    ASSIGNEE-OWNER'S "POLICY INTEREST" -- DEFINED

        Assignee-Owner's interest in the policy shall be an amount equal to its
        cumulative premium contributions under the Split Dollar variation set
        forth earlier. Should the Assignee-Owner elect to continue premiums
        beyond ten years, in any amount, as determined by Assignee-Owner, then,
        in such event, the Assignee-Owner's "policy interest" shall be increased
        in corresponding dollar amount. Should the owner elect to borrow or
        withdraw policy values in accordance with Article IV in order to repay
        Assignee-Owner a portion of its policy interest, then Assignee-Owner's
        policy interest shall be reduced accordingly.

        A.    Upon Death Of Insured

              In the event of the Insured's death, Assignee-Owner's policy
              interest shall be an amount equal to the cumulative premium
              payments made by the Assignee-Owner to the Insurer, under the
              Split Dollar arrangement set forth above.

        B.    Upon Owner's Cancellation or Termination Of The Policy

              In the event the Owner elects to surrender or cancel the policy,
              Assignee-Owner shall receive an amount equal to the lesser of:

              the cumulative premiums paid under the Split Dollar arrangement.

              or the policy's cash surrender value.


IV.     OWNER'S RETAINED INCIDENTS OF OWNERSHIP

        Except as to the limited policy ownership rights specifically granted
        Assignee-Owner herein, Owner retains all incidents of ownership
        (including the right to surrender or cancel the policy and the right to
        borrow or withdraw against the policy except as limited below).

        Owner's right to withdraw from the policy cash values under the policy's
        "Partial Surrender Provision," (which is defined as "the cash value,
        less any indebtedness, less the cost of insurance until the next monthly
        anniversary"), shall be limited to such "partial surrender value," as
        above defined, reduced by the cumulative premiums paid by Assignee-Owner
        under the Split Dollar arrangement set forth above, and subject to any
        policy surrender limitations.

        Owner's rights to borrow or withdraw policy values under the "policy
        surrender provision" are expressly prohibited during the first ten
        policy years. After such time period has passed, the Owner shall be free
        to borrow or withdraw policy values amounts as may be required to repay
        the Assignee-Owner to the extent of its policy interest as more fully
        described in Article III. Until Assignee-Owner is fully repaid to the
        extent of its policy interest, Owner shall not be permitted to borrow or
        withdraw policy values.

V.      ASSIGNEE-OWNER'S COOPERATION

        If the above described policy is in the possession of the Assignee-
        Owner, Assignee-Owner will, upon notice and request, forward the policy
        without reasonable delay to the Insurer, if required by the Insurer for
        any policy transaction or change.

VI.     INSURER ACTION

        The Insurer is hereby authorized to recognize either the Assignee-Owner
        or the Owner's claims to rights as defined hereunder without
        investigating the reason for such action or the validity or the amount
        of their respective interest hereunder. The Insurer provides this
        assignment form solely for the convenience of its policyholders and
        their counsel and is not responsible for its legal or tax validity or
        effect. Insurer shall not be responsible to account for the actual
        premium contributions of the parties hereunder, but shall rely solely
        upon the written declaration of the parties in any distribution or
        settlement of the policy's lifetime or death values. Any actions taken
        by the Insurer in accordance with the policy, any policy endorsements of
        this assignment shall fully discharge it from all claims, suits and
        demands of all persons whatsoever.

VII.    RELEASE OF ASSIGNEE-OWNER'S LIMITED OWNERSHIP INTEREST

        Upon Owner's request and upon full payment to the Assignee-Owner of its
        policy interest in the Split Dollar policy, Assignee-Owner agrees to
        release and re-assign its Split Dollar ownership rights to the Owner.
        Assignee-Owner, its successors and assigns, agree (solely for the
        purposes of facilitating payment and release of its limited policy
        ownership), that Owner (or assignees) may borrow or withdraw from the
        policy cash values subject to the restrictions described in Article IV.

VIII.   PREMIUM NOTICES

        Notices are to be sent to the Assignee-Owner.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Owner and Assignee-Owner have executed this
Assignment this ______ day of ______________, 19__, at ______________________.

                                ERISA COMPLIANCE


The life insurance split ownership arrangement you recently entered into with
your employer is considered a "split dollar" arrangement as that term has been
defined in Rev. Rul. 64-328 and related rulings.

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) considers split
dollar plans a "welfare benefit," but exempts such plans from compliance with
most of the Act's provisions.

Three ERISA provisions would nevertheless seem to apply to Split Dollar Plans:

1.      Reporting and Disclosure (Summary Plan Descriptions)

2.      Fiduciary Responsibility

3.      Administration and Enforcement


REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE:  Generally, regulatory provisions under Part I of the
Act are inapplicable under the "fewer than 100 participants" exemption. Only one
aspect of Part I appears to apply to split dollar plans -- "Summary Plan
Descriptions."  Since the essentials of a summary plan description are included
within the ASSIGNMENT FORM creating the split dollar arrangement and the WRITTEN
AND COMPUTER-PREPARED ILLUSTRATIONS your receipt of these documents (or photo
copies thereof) should constitute compliance.


FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY:  Part 4 ERISA requires the following for all "welfare
plans":

1.      A named fiduciary or fiduciaries who have authority to control and
        manage the operation of the plan.

2.      A procedure for carrying out a funding policy and method.

3.      A procedure for allocation of responsibilities.

4.      A procedure for amending the plan.

5.      A basis upon which payments are made to and from the plan.


Language to satisfy these Part 4 requirements is included in the attached "SPLIT
DOLLAR ERISA PROVISIONS."


ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT:  Part 5 of ERISA requires a "claims procedure." 
Language to satisfy this provision is likewise included in the attached "SPLIT
DOLLAR ERISA PROVISIONS."


                                     SUMMARY

The split dollar arrangement provided you offers an extremely valuable fringe
benefit at nominal costs to you. Your receipt of reproduced copies of the: SPLIT
OWNERSHIP ASSIGNMENT: COMPUTER AND WRITTEN PROPOSALS: and the attached SPLIT
DOLLAR ERISA PROVISIONS should fully inform you of all your rights and
privileges under this special, additional fringe benefit.

                          SPLIT DOLLAR ERISA PROVISIONS




A Split Dollar Fringe Benefit for Gene McGrevin, was established through a
special Split-Owner Assignment by and between, Gene McGrevin and Syncor
International Corporation on _________________________________________, 19__.


This Supplemental Agreement and the terms of the Split Owner-Assignment (the
provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference, as though fully
restated), are intended to meet the requirements of "ERISA '74."

I.      NAMED FIDUCIARY AND PLAN ADMINISTRATOR

        (Corporate Officer) is hereby designated the "Named Fiduciary" and Plan
        Administrator.

II.     FUNDING

        The funding policy for the Split Dollar arrangement shall be to maintain
        the subject policy in force by paying, when due, all premiums required.

III.    AMENDMENT

        The Split Dollar plan may be amended at any time and from time to time,
        by a written instrument executed by the Policy Owner and the
        Corporation.

IV.     BASIS OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS

        Payments to and from the Split Dollar Plan adopted herein shall be in
        accordance with the provisions of the Split Ownership Assignment,
        described above.

V.      CLAIMS PROCEDURE FOR LIFE INSURANCE POLICY AND SPLIT DOLLAR
        PLAN

        A.    Claim forms or claim information as to the subject policy can be
              obtained by contacting:

              Thomas E. Miller, CLU, ChFC, CFP
              3 Imperial Promenade
              Suite 100
              Santa Ana, CA 92707

              When the named fiduciary has a claim which may be covered under
              the provisions described in the insurance policy, he should
              contact the agent or agency named above, who will either complete
              a claim form and forward it to the Insurer or advise the named
              fiduciary what further requirements are necessary. The Insurer
              will evaluate the claim and make a decision as to payment within
              90 days of the date the claim is received by the Insurer. If the
              claim is payable, a benefit check will be issued to the named
              fiduciary and forwarded through the office or person named above.

              If for any reason a claim for benefits under the policy is denied
              by the Insurer, the Insurer will notify the named fiduciary of the
              denial. Such notification will be made in writing, within 90 days
              of the date the claim is received, and will be transmitted through
              the office of the agent or agency named above. The notification
              will include the specific reasons for the denial, as well as
              specific reference to the policy provisions upon which the denial
              is based. The named fiduciary will also be informed as to the
              steps which may be taken to have the claim denial reviewed.

              A decision as to the validity of a claim will ordinarily be made
              within 10 working days of the date the claim is received by the
              Insurer. Occasionally, however, certain questions may prevent the
              Insurer from rendering a decision on the validity of the claim
              within the specific 90-day period. If this occurs, the named
              fiduciary will be notified of the reasons for the delay, as well
              as the anticipated length of the delay, in writing and through the
              office of the agent or agency named above. If further information
              or other material is required, the named fiduciary will be so
              informed.

              If the named fiduciary is dissatisfied with the denial of the
              claim, or the amount paid, he has 60 days from the date he
              receives notice of a claim denial to file his objections to the
              action taken by the Insurer. If the named fiduciary wishes to
              contest a claim denial, he should notify the agent or agency named
              above, who will assist in making inquiry to the Insurer. All
              objections to the Insurer's actions should be in writing and
              submitted to the agent or agency named above for transmittal to
              the Insurer.

              The Insurer will review the claim denial and render a decision on
              the claim denial. The named fiduciary will be informed in writing
              of the decision of the Insurer within 60 days of the date the
              claim request is received by the Insurer. This decision will be
              final.

        B.    Once a decision has been rendered as to the distribution of
              proceeds under the claim procedure described above as to the
              policy, claims for any benefits due under the Plan or the
              surrender of the policy may be made in writing by the corporation
              or the corporation's designated beneficiary, and policy owner or
              their designated beneficiary, as the case may be, to the named
              fiduciary.

              In the event a claim for benefits is wholly or partly denied or
              disputed, the named fiduciary shall within a reasonable period of
              time, after receipt of the claim, notify the corporation or the
              corporation's designated beneficiary, and policy owner or their
              designated beneficiary as the case may be of such total or partial
              denial or dispute listing:

              (a)   The specific reason or reasons for the denial or dispute;

              (b)   Specific reference to pertinent plan provisions upon which
                    the denial or dispute is based;

              (c)   A description of any additional information necessary for
                    the claimant to perfect the claim, and an explanation of why
                    such material or information is necessary; and

              (d)   An explanation of-the plan's review procedure. Within 60
                    days of denial or notice of claim under the plan, a claimant
                    may request that the claim be reviewed by the named
                    fiduciary in a full and fair hearing. A final decision shall
                    be rendered by the named fiduciary within 60 days after
                    receipt of request for review.

                        SYNCOR INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
                        1990 MASTER STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
                                 AWARD AGREEMENT




Name of Participant        :    
Address of Participant     :     
                           
Social Security Number     :    
Number of Shares           :    
Exercise Price Per Share   :    
Award Date                 :    
Expiration Date            :    


         WHEREAS, pursuant to the Corporation's 1990 Master Stock Incentive
Plan (the "Plan"), the Participant has been granted an Incentive Stock Option
(the "Option" or "Award") to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Corporation
upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the Participant and the Corporation agree as follows:

         1.  GRANT OF OPTION.  The Corporation has granted to the Participant
as a matter of separate inducement and agreement in connection with his or her
employment, and not in lieu of any salary or other compensation for his or her
services, the right and option to purchase, in accordance with the Plan and on
the terms and conditions of the Plan and those hereinafter set forth, all or any
part of the number of shares of Common Stock stated above (the "Common Stock")
at the price stated above (the "Price"), exercisable from time to time subject
to the provisions of this Award Agreement prior to the close of business on the
Expiration Date stated above.  

         2.  EXERCISABILITY OF OPTION.  Except as otherwise provided in the
Plan or this Award Agreement, the Option shall become exercisable from time to
time as follows:  (i) 25% of the Common Stock shall become purchasable twelve
months after the Award Date; (ii) an additional 25% of the Common Stock shall
become purchasable twenty-four months after the Award Date; (iii) an additional
25% of the Common Stock shall become purchasable thirty-six months after the
Award Date; and (iv) an additional 25% of the Common Stock shall become pur-
chasable forty-eight months after the Award Date; provided, however, that the
Option may not be exercised as to less than 10 shares at any one time unless the
number of shares purchased is the total number at the time available for
purchase under an installment of the Option.  If the Participant does not, in
any given installment period, purchase all of the shares which he or she is
entitled to purchase in such installment period, the Participant's right to
purchase any shares not so purchased shall continue until the Expiration Date,
unless theretofore terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof and of
the Plan.  The Option may be exercised only as to whole shares.

         3.  LIMITATION ON TREATMENT OF OPTIONS AS "INCENTIVE" OPTIONS FOR TAX
PURPOSES.  Pursuant to Section 422(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, the aggregate Fair Market Value of the stock with respect to which
Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time in any calendar year
(under all plans of the Corporation or its subsidiaries) cannot exceed $100,000
determined as of the dates such options were granted. To the extent that such
aggregate Fair Market Value exceeds $100,000, the number of options treated as
Incentive Stock Options shall be reduced to meet the $100,000 limit, and the
most recently granted options shall be first treated as Nonqualified Options. To
the extent a reduction of simultaneously granted options is necessary to meet
the $100,000 limit, or in the event said aggregate Fair Market Value exceeds 
$100,000 in any calendar year as a result of an acceleration of awards pursuant
to Section 6.4 of the Plan or otherwise, the Corporation may, in the manner and
to the extent permitted by law, designate which shares are to be treated as
stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.

         4.  METHOD OF EXERCISE AND PAYMENT.  Each exercise of the Option shall
be by means of written notice of exercise duly delivered to the Corporation,
specifying the number of whole shares with respect to which the Option is being
exercised, together with any written statements required pursuant to Section 11
below and payment of the Price made in accordance with Section 2.2 of the Plan.

         5.  NOT A CONTRACT FOR EMPLOYMENT.  Nothing contained in this Award
Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue
in the employ of the Corporation or constitute any contract or agreement of
employment. The Participant acknowledges that the Corporation has the right to
terminate the Participant at will. Nothing contained in this Award Agreement or
in the Plan shall interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation to
(a) terminate the employment of the Participant at any time for any reason
whatsoever, with or without cause, or (b) reduce the compensation received by
the Participant from the rate in existence on the Award Date.

         6.  EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

         (a) The Option and all other rights hereunder, to the extent such
rights shall not have been exercised prior thereto, shall terminate and become
null and void on the date the Participant ceases to be employed by the Cor-
poration; provided, however, that the Participant may, to the extent the Option
shall have become exercisable prior to such date, exercise the Option at any
time within (1) up to three months after termination of employment other than
termination for Retirement, Total Disability, death or through discharge for
cause; (2) up to twelve months after such termination if such termination occurs
by reason of Retirement or Total Disability; or (3) up to twelve months after
the Participant's death, if the Participant dies while in the employ of the
Company or during the period referred to in clause (2) above. During the period
after death, the Option may, to the extent exercisable on the date of death (or
earlier termination), be exercised by the person or persons to whom the Par-
ticipant's rights under the Plan and this Award Agreement shall pass by will or
by the applicable laws of descent and distribution. Unless sooner terminated
pursuant to the Plan, the Option shall expire at the end of the applicable
period specified in clauses (1), (2) or (3) above, to the extent not exercised
within that period.

         (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Award will cease to be an
Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonqualified
Stock Option unless such Award is exercised prior to (1) three months after the
Participant's termination of employment for any reason other than death or Total
Disability, (2) one year after the Participant's termination of employment, if
such termination is by reason of Total Disability or if the Participant's Total
Disability occurs within the three-month period following termination of
employment for a reason other than Total Disability, or (3) the Expiration Date,
if the Participant's termination of employment is by reason of death or if the
Participant dies within the three-month period following termination of employ-
ment for a reason other than death.  In no event may any Option be exercised by
any person after the Expiration Date.

         7.  NON-ASSIGNABILITY OF OPTION.  The Option shall not be subject to
sale, transfer, pledge, assignment or alienation other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution regardless of any community property or other
interest therein of the Participant's spouse or such spouse's successor in
interest. In the event that the spouse of the Participant shall have acquired a
community property interest in the Option, the Participant, or such transferees,
may exercise it on behalf of the spouse of the Participant or such spouse's
successor in interest.

         8.  ADJUSTMENTS UPON SPECIFIED CHANGES.  As set forth in Section 6.2
of the Plan, upon the occurrence of specified events relating to the Cor-
poration's stock, adjustments will be made in the number and kind of shares that
may be issuable under, or in the consideration payable with respect to, an
Award.  

         9.  ACCELERATION.  Upon the occurrence of an Event as defined in the
Plan, including a Change of Control, the Award shall become immediately exer-
cisable to the full extent theretofore not exercisable unless prior to an Event
the Board determines otherwise; subject, however, to compliance with applicable
regulatory requirements, including without limitation Rule 16b-3 promulgated by
the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Section 422A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

         10. PARTICIPANT NOT A SHAREHOLDER.  Neither the Participant nor any
other person entitled to exercise the Option shall have any of the rights or
privileges of a shareholder of the Corporation as to any shares of Common Stock
for which stock certificates have not been actually issued and delivered to him
or her.  No adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the
record date is prior to the date on which such stock certificate or certificates
are issued even if such record date is subsequent to the date upon which notice
of exercise was delivered and the tender of payment was accepted.

         11. APPLICATION OF SECURITIES LAWS.

         (a) No shares of Common Stock may be purchased pursuant to the Option
unless and until any then applicable requirements of federal and state securi-
ties laws and regulations, and any exchanges upon which the Common Stock may be
listed, shall have been fully satisfied. The Participant represents, agrees and
certifies that:

             (1) If the Participant exercises the Option in whole or in part at
         a time when there is not in effect under the Securities Act of 1933,
         as amended (the "Securities Act"), a registration statement relating
         to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise and available for delivery
         to him or her a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of
         the Securities Act ("Prospectus"), the Participant will acquire the
         Common Stock issuable upon such exercise for the purpose of investment
         and not with a view to resale or distribution and that, as a condition
         to each such exercise, he or she will furnish to the Corporation a
         written statement to such effect, satisfactory in form and substance
         to the Corporation; and

             (2) If and when the Participant proposes to publicly offer or sell
         the Common Stock issued to him or her upon exercise of the Option, the
         Participant will notify the Corporation prior to any such offering or
         sale and will abide by the opinion of counsel to the Corporation as to
         whether and under what conditions and circumstances, if any, he or she
         may offer and sell such shares, but such procedure need not be fol-
         lowed if a Prospectus was delivered to the Participant with the shares
         of Common Stock and the Common Stock was and is listed on a national
         securities exchange or traded as a National Market System security
         through the facilities of NASDAQ.

         (b) The Participant understands that the certificate or certificates
representing the Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Option may bear a legend
referring to the foregoing matters and any limitations under the Securities Act
and state securities laws with respect to the transfer of such Common Stock, and
the Corporation may impose stop transfer instructions to implement such limita-
tions, if applicable.  Any person or persons entitled to exercise the Option
under the provisions of Section 6 above shall be bound by and obligated under
the provisions of this Section 11 to the same extent as is the Participant.

         (c) The Board of Directors of the Corporation may impose such con-
ditions on an Award or on its exercise or acceleration or on the payment of any
withholding obligation (including without limitation restricting the time of
exercise to specified periods) as may be required to satisfy applicable regula-
tory requirements, including, without limitation, Rule 16b-3 (or any successor
rule) promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act.

         12. NOTICES.  Any notice to be given to the Corporation under the
terms of the Award Agreement or pursuant to the Plan shall be in writing and
addressed to the Secretary of the Corporation at its principal office and any
notice to be given to the Participant shall be addressed to him or her at the
address stated above, or at such other address as either party may hereafter
designate in writing to the other party. Any such notice shall be deemed to have
been duly given when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as
aforesaid, registered or certified, and deposited (postage and registry or cer-
tification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly
maintained by the United States Government.

         13. EFFECT OF AWARD AGREEMENT.  The Award Agreement shall be assumed
by, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of
the Corporation to the extent provided in Section 6.2(b) of the Plan.

         14. TAX WITHHOLDING.  The provisions of Section 6.6 of the Plan are
hereby incorporated and shall govern any withholding that the Corporation or
Subsidiary employing the Participant is required to make with respect to an
exercise of the Option, as well as the Company's right to condition a transfer
of Common Stock upon compliance with the applicable withholding requirements of
federal, state and local authorities.

         15. TERMS OF PLAN GOVERN.  The Award and this Award Agreement are
subject to, and the Corporation and the Participant agree to be bound by, all of
the terms and conditions of the Plan. Capitalized terms used in this Award
Agreement have the meanings defined in the Plan. The Participant acknowledges
receipt of a copy of the Plan. The rights of the Participant are subject to
limitations, adjustments, modifications, suspension and termination in certain
circumstances and upon the occurrence of certain conditions as set forth in the
Plan.

         16.  LAW APPLICABLE TO CONSTRUCTION.  The interpretation, performance
and enforcement of the Award and this Award Agreement shall be governed by the
laws of the State of Delaware.

         17.  NOTICE OF DISPOSITION.  The Participant agrees to notify the
Corporation of any sale or other disposition of any shares of Common Stock
received upon exercise of the Option if such sale or disposition occurs within
two years after the Award Date or within one year after the date of exercise of
the Option.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Award Agreement to
be executed on its behalf by a duly authorized officer and the Participant has
hereunto set his or her hand as of the Award Date.

        WHEREAS, pursuant to the Corporation's 1990 Master Stock Incentive Plan
(the "Plan"), the Participant has been granted a Nonqualified Stock Option (the
"Option" or "Award") to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Corporation upon
the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

        NOW, THEREFORE, the Participant and the Corporation agree as follows:

        1.   GRANT OF OPTION.  The Corporation has granted to the Participant as
a matter of separate inducement and agreement in connection with his or her
status as a Non-Employee Director, and not in lieu of any salary or other
compensation for his or her services, the right and option to purchase, in
accordance with the Plan and on the terms and conditions of the Plan and those
hereinafter set forth, all or any part of the number of shares of Common Stock
stated above (the "Common Stock") at the price stated above (the "Price"),
exercisable from time to time subject to the provisions of this Award Agreement
prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date stated above.  

        2.   EXERCISABILITY OF OPTION.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan
or this Award Agreement, the Option shall become exercisable from time to time
as follows:  (i) 33% of the Common Stock shall become purchasable twelve months
after the Award Date; (ii) an additional 33% of the Common Stock shall become
purchasable twenty-four months after the Award Date; and (iii) an additional 34%
of the Common Stock shall become purchasable thirty-six months after the Award
Date; provided, however, that the Option may not be exercised as to less than 10
shares at any one time unless the number of shares purchased is the total number
at the time available for purchase under an installment of the Option. If the
Participant does not, in any given installment period, purchase all of the
shares which he or she is entitled to purchase in such installment period, the
Participant's right to purchase any shares not so purshased shall continue until
the Expiration Date, unless theretofore terminated in accordance with the
provisions hereof and of the Plan. The Option may be exercised only as to whole
shares.

        3.   METHOD OF EXERCISE AND PAYMENT.  Each exercise of the Option shall
be by means of written notice of exercise duly delivered to the Corporation,
specifying the number of whole shares with respect to which the Option is being
exercised, together with any written statements required pursuant to Section 9
below and payment of the Price made in accordance with Section 2.8 of the Plan.

        4.   EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF DIRECTORSHIP.  The Option and all other
rights hereunder, to the extent such rights shall not have been exercised prior
thereto, shall terminate on the date the Participant ceases to serve as a
director of the Corporation; provided, however, that the Participant may, to the
extent the Option shall have become exercisable prior to such date, exercise the
Option at any time within (1) up to twelve months after such termination; or
(2) up to twelve months after the Participant's death, if the Participant dies
while serving as a director of the Corporation or during the period referred to
in clause (1) above.  During the period after death, the Option may, to the
extent exercisable on the date of death (or earlier termination), be exercised
by the person or persons to whom the Participant's rights under the Plan and
this Award Agreement shall pass by will or by the applicable laws of descent and
distribution. Unless sooner terminated pursuant to the Plan, the Option shall
expire at the end of the applicable period specified in clauses (1) or (2)
above, to the extent not exercised within that period. In no event may the
Option be exercised by any person after the Expiration Date.

        5.   NON-ASSIGNABILITY OF OPTION.  The Option shall not be subject to
sale, transfer, pledge, assignment or alienation other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution regardless of any community property or other
interest therein of the Participant's spouse or such spouse's successor in
interest. In the event that the spouse of the Participant shall have acquired a
community property interest in the Option, the Participant, or such transferees,
may exercise it on behalf of the spouse of the Participant or such spouse's
successor in interest.

        6.   ADJUSTMENTS UPON SPECIFIED CHANGES.  As set forth in Section 6.2 of
the Plan, upon the occurrence of specified events relating to the Corporation's
stock, adjustments will be made in the number and kind of shares that may be
issuable under, or in the consideration payable with respect to, an Award.  

        7.   ACCELERATION.  Upon the occurrence of an Event, as defined in the
Plan, including a Change of Control, the Award shall become immediately exer-
cisable to the full extent theretofore not exercisable unless prior to an Event
the Board determines otherwise; subject, however, to compliance with applicable
regulatory requirements including without limitation Rule 16b-3 promulgated by
the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

        8.   PARTICIPANT NOT A SHAREHOLDER.  Neither the Participant nor any
other person entitled to exercise the Option shall have any of the rights or
privileges of a shareholder of the Corporation as to any shares of Common Stock
for which stock certificates have not been actually issued and delivered to him
or her. No adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the
record date is prior to the date on which such stock certificate or certificates
are issued even if such record date is subsequent to the date upon which notice
of exercise was delivered and the tender of payment was accepted.

        9.   APPLICATION OF SECURITIES LAWS.

             9.1 No shares of Common Stock may be purchased pursuant to the
Option unless and until any then applicable requirements of federal and state
securities laws and regulations, and any exchanges upon which the Common Stock
may be listed, shall have been fully satisfied. The Participant represents,
agrees and certifies that:

                 9.1.1         If the Participant exercises the Option in whole
        or in part at a time when there is not in effect under the Securities
        Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), a registration state-
        ment relating to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise and available
        for delivery to him or her a prospectus meeting the requirements of
        Section 10 of the Securities Act ("Prospectus"), the Participant will
        acquire the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise for the purpose of
        investment and not with a view to resale or distribution and that, as a
        condition to each such exercise, he or she will furnish to the Cor-
        poration a written statement to such effect, satisfactory in form and
        substance to the Corporation; and

                 9.1.2         If and when the Participant proposes to publicly
        offer or sell the Common Stock issued to him or her upon exercise of
        the Option, the Participant will notify the Corporation prior to any
        such offering or sale and will abide by the opinion of counsel to the
        Corporation as to whether and under what conditions and circumstances,
        if any, he or she may offer and sell such shares, but such procedure
        need not be followed if a Prospectus was delivered to the Participant
        with the shares of Common Stock and the Common Stock was and is listed
        on a national securities exchange or traded as a National Market System
        security through the facilities of NASDAQ.

             9.2 The Participant understands that the certificates representing
the Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Option may bear a legend referring to
the foregoing matters and any limitations under the Securities Act and state
securities laws with respect to the transfer of such Common Stock, and the
Corporation may impose stop transfer instructions to implement such limitations,
if applicable. Any person or persons entitled to exercise the Option under the
provisions of Section 4 above shall be bound by and obligated under the pro-
visions of this Section 9 to the same extent as is the Participant.

             9.3 The Board of Directors of the Corporation may impose such
conditions on an Award or on its exercise or acceleration or on the payment of
any withholding obligation (including without limitation restricting the time of
exercise to specified periods) as may be required to satisfy applicable regula-
tory requirements, including, without limitation, Rule 16b-3 (or any successor
rule) promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act.

        10.  NOTICES.  Any notice to be given to the Corporation under the terms
of the Award Agreement or pursuant to the Plan shall be in writing and addressed
to the Secretary of the Corporation at its principal office and any notice to be
given to the Participant shall be addressed to him or her at the address stated
above, or at such other address as either party may hereafter designate in
writing to the other party. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly
given when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as aforesaid,
registered or certified, and deposited (postage and registry or certification
fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the
United States Government.

        11   EFFECT OF AWARD AGREEMENT.  The Award Agreement shall be assumed
by, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of
the Corporation to the extent provided in Section 6.2(b) of the Plan.

        12.  TAX WITHHOLDING.  The provisions of Section 6.6 of the Plan are
hereby incorporated and shall govern any withholding that the Corporation is
required to make with respect to an exercise of the Option, as well as the
Corporation's right to condition a transfer of Common Stock upon compliance with
the applicable withholding requirements of federal, state and local authorities.

        13.  TERMS OF THE PLAN GOVERN.  The Award and this Award Agreement are
subject to, and the Corporation and the Participant agree to be bound by, all of
the terms and conditions of the Plan. Capitalized terms used in this Award
Agreement have the meanings defined in the Plan. The Participant acknowledges
receipt of a copy of the Plan. The rights of the Participant are subject to
limitations, adjustments, modifications, suspension and termination in certain
circumstances and upon the occurrence of certain conditions as set forth in the
Plan.

        14.  LAW APPLICABLE TO CONSTRUCTION.  The interpretation, performance
and enforcement of the Award and this Award Agreement shall be governed by the
laws of the State of Delaware.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Award Agreement to
be executed on its behalf by a duly authorized officer and the Participant has
hereunto set his or her hand as of the Award Date.
