PART I
------
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
- ------- ---------
Jaclyn, Inc. (incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1968)
("Jaclyn") and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Registrant") are primarily
engaged in the design, manufacture, distribution and sale of vinyl, leather and
fabric handbags, sport bags and related products (collectively, "handbag
products"), and apparel items. The Registrant markets its handbag products in a
variety of popularly priced fashions and designs, with an emphasis on casual,
travel and sport styles. The Registrant's apparel lines are wide ranging and
include vests, loungewear, sleepwear, dresses, sportswear, slippers and
footwear, as well as lingerie.
General. Styling is an important factor in the merchandising of all
-------
of the Registrant's products. The Registrant's staff of full-time designers
studies fashion trends in order to antici pate consumer demand. The design
staff works closely with the purchasing department to determine the styling and
material components for its handbag products, and concepts and fabrics for its
apparel products. The design staff also works with the production and
engineering staffs to determine the costs of production and the technical
problems involved in producing a new style. The Registrant changes many of its
designs from season to season.
Finished merchandise is received at the Registrant's warehouses
located in West New York, New Jersey and Ferris, Texas, and in several
independently owned warehouses in New Jersey, Florida, California and Texas, and
from these locations is shipped under different selling names to customers all
over the country. The Registrant's handbag products are intended to retail at
between $6 and $275. The Registrant's better price and designer lines of
handbag products, which are sold under the "Susan Gail" name, are marketed
through better department stores and specialty shops. The Registrant's other
handbag products are marketed primarily through general merchandise, chain and
department stores. In addition, the Registrant markets its apparel lines to
existing customers of its handbag products as premium and/or special order
items, as well as to major mail order catalog chains and other retailers.
The Registrant markets its handbag products under trademarks and trade
names which it owns, including "Saddle River," "Shane," "Aetna," "Susan Gail,"
"Robyn Lyn" and "Marilyn USA." In addition, the Registrant is licensed to
manufacture and market handbag products under the names "Looney Tunes/(TM)/"
under an agreement which expires December 31, 1998, "Riders/(TM)/" under an
agreement which expires December 31, 1998, "Crayola/(TM)/" under an agreement
which expires December 31, 1997 and "Dr. Seuss" under an agreement which expires
June 30, 1998. "Winnie The Pooh/(TM)/" was licensed under an agreement which
expired June 30, 1997. The Registrant's apparel lines are marketed under the
names "Robyn Lyn," and "Saddle River." The Registrant also manufactures apparel
items for sale as private-label merchandise. The Registrant's apparel lines are
marketed under the names "Robyn Lyn" and Saddle River." The Registrant also
manufactures apparel items for sale as private label merchandise. The Registrant
considers all of its trademarks, trade names and other intellectual property
rights to be of significant value in the marketing of its products.
<PAGE>
The Registrant sells throughout the United States through its own
salesmen and through independent sales representatives. Sales of domestically
manufactured merchandise, including those assembled in Mexico from domestically
produced components, accounted for approximately 33% of the Registrant's
consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. During fiscal
1996, sales of such merchandise, including those assembled in Mexico from
domestically manufactured components, accounted for approximately 35% of
consolidated net sales.
In fiscal 1997, the Registrant's imports of merchandise manufactured
in the Far East accounted for approximately 67% of consolidated net sales,
compared to approximately 65% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 1996. Such
imports offer the Registrant the benefit of a greater diversification of styling
resulting from volume purchases and the benefit of cost savings related to such
purchases. While the Registrant's operations are subject to the usual risks
associated with purchases from foreign countries, the Registrant's other foreign
manufacturing sources and its domestic manufacturing operations provide it with
alternative sources and facilities.
Approximately 70% of the Registrant's consolidated net sales for
fiscal 1997 were to general merchandise, chain and department stores, with the
balance consisting of sales to specialty shops, smaller retail stores and
cosmetic firms. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, four customers of
the Registrant accounted for 42% of the Registrant's consolidated net sales, of
which the Registrant's three largest customers (Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Estee
Lauder and Target Stores) accounted for 13%, 12% and 9% of such sales,
respectively. Three major customers of the Registrant accounted for
approximately 51% of the Registrant's consolidated net sales for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996, of which the Registrant's two largest customers (Wal-Mart
Stores, Inc. and Estee Lauder) accounted for 20% and 12% of such sales,
respectively. Sales of apparel items during each of the fiscal years ended June
30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 represented 36%, 30% and 30%, respectively, of
consolidated net sales. Sales of handbag products represented the remainder of
the Registrant's consolidated net sales. The Registrant's sales are customarily
offered on credit terms. The Registrant does not have long-term contracts with
any of its customers.
The Registrant purchases its handbag and apparel raw materials,
primarily fabrics, vinyl and urethane plastics, leather, frames, ornaments, trim
and other materials, and certain of its finished products, from a variety of
sources. In most cases, the Registrant assists its suppliers and contractors in
the design and style of the materials it purchases. The Registrant's largest
expenditures for raw materials are for fabrics, leather, vinyl and urethane
plastics, which the Registrant purchases from several suppliers, one of which
provided about 14% of its raw material needs in fiscal 1997. While the
Registrant has no long-term supply contracts, the raw materials it uses are
available from various sources and it anticipates no difficulty in the future in
obtaining the necessary raw materials for its operations. With respect to its
domestic manufacturing and imported purchases from the Far East and Europe of
finished handbags and related products, the Registrant deals with a number of
sources, both domestically and in the Far East and Europe, no one of which
accounted for more than 12% of the Registrant's total cost of goods sold. The
Registrant has no long-term supply contracts with its Far East or European
sources of finished handbags and related products or apparel items and is
subject to the usual risks associated therewith.

<PAGE>
The Registrant generally offers Fall/Winter, Holiday and Spring/Summer
product lines and in most instances manufactures product to meet the specific
requirements of its customers. The Registrant's business is somewhat seasonal
in nature, with shipments historically being greater in the first and third
quarters of its fiscal years and lower in the second and fourth quarters.
Reference is made to Note O, "Unaudited Quarterly Financial Data," of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements on page F-16 of this Form 10-K for
additional information about quarterly results.
At September 15, 1997, the Registrant had unfilled orders of
approximately $31,735,000, compared to approximately $24,471,000 at September
15, 1996. The increase in backlog is attributable, among other things, to
anticipated increases in the near-term volume of certain of the Company's
divisions and due to timing differences in the receipt of orders form certain
customers in 1997 compared to 1996. In the ordinary course of business, the
amount of unfilled orders at a particular point in time is affected by several
factors, including scheduling of the manufacture and shipping of goods (which,
in turn, may be dependent on the requirements of customers). Accordingly, a
comparison of backlog from period to period is not necessarily meaningful and
may not be indicative of future sales patterns or shipments.
The Registrant employed 262 persons as of June 30, 1997, of whom 89
were on a salaried basis and the balance on an hourly basis. At June 30, 1997,
29 of the Registrant's employees were members of the Four Joint Boards of New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New England, affiliated with the
International Leather Goods, Plastics and Novelty Workers Union, AFL-CIO. The
Registrant considers its relations with its employees to be satisfactory.
The Registrant competes with hundreds of domestic and foreign
manufacturers of popular priced handbags and apparel, very few of which are
believed to account for as much as 1% of industry sales. In addition, the
Registrant competes with numerous manufacturers of apparel items. The
Registrant believes its sales of apparel items are not significant in light of
total apparel industry sales. The Registrant's business is dependent, among
other things, on its ability to anticipate and respond to changing consumer
preferences, to remain competitive in price, style and quality and to meet its
customers' production and delivery requirements. While some of the Registrant's
competitors may be larger or may have greater resources than the Registrant, the
Registrant believes that its size and financial position will allow it to
continue to respond to changes in consumer demand and meet its competition.
Certain Developments. In January 1996, the Registrant entered into a
--------------------
sales agreement to manufacture and distribute an existing line of women's robes
and sleepwear. The Registrant did not incur any significant expenditures as a
result of this agreement.
On June 18, 1996, the Registrant acquired certain trademarks and other
assets from McCrackin Industries, Inc. ("McCrackin") and its affiliates for a
purchase price of $1,500,000. The trademarks included "Saddle River," under
which the Registrant has been manufacturing and distributing ladies' handbags
for more than 9 years. The Registrant also acquired certain office equipment,
furnishings and fixtures located at McCrackin's New York City showroom, which is
now operated by the Registrant. In addition, two of the principals of McCrackin
have entered into a consulting agreement to make available
-3-
<PAGE>
to the Registrant marketing and consulting services. The Registrant has also
granted to those principals an option to repurchase the trademarks on or prior
to December 31, 1997.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, the Registrant announced
that due to the decline in sales of the Registrant's Barney(R) the dinosaur line
of products and the increased direct importation of products by its customers,
it was restructuring certain of its operations. The restructuring included
personnel reductions, the closing of the Registrant's warehouse in North Bergen,
New Jersey and the consolidation of its New York City showrooms. The Registrant
also discontinued the payment of quarterly cash dividends after the second
quarter of the fiscal year. During fiscal 1995, the Registrant recorded a pre-
tax restructuring charge of approximately $995,000, representing employee
severance and other exit costs in connection with the closure of the warehouse
and showroom. In addition, the Registrant incurred costs of $1,761,000,
primarily the write-down to market value of inventory of certain of its
divisions and costs incurred during the wind-down of operations in its closed
facilities. Reference is made to "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" on pages 8 through 10 of this
Form 10-K and Note N, "Corporate Restructuring" of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements on page F-15 of this Form 10-K for additional information
related to the restructuring.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
- ------- ----------
The Registrant's executive offices and one of its warehouse
facilities, containing 140,000 square feet, are located in West New York, New
Jersey. The Registrant occupied these facilities under long-term leases from
1968 to 1981, when these facilities were purchased by the Registrant. The
Registrant currently leases to outside parties approximately 40,000 square feet
of the West New York facilities. The Registrant also leases (i) showroom,
warehouse and distribution facilities in New York City containing approximately
12,000 square feet and (ii) two additional showroom and office facilities in New
York City totaling approximately 7,000 square feet. The executive offices, and
manufacturing, distribution and warehouse facilities, of JLN, Inc., containing
93,250 square feet, are located in Ferris, Texas. All of the Registrant's
facilities are well maintained structures, in good physical condition and are
adequate to meet its current and reasonably foreseeable needs.
Reference is made to Note E, "Commitments," of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements on page F-10 of this Form 10-K for additional
information about the Registrant's commitments under the terms of non-cancelable
leases.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
- ------- ------------------
(a) The Registrant is not a party to, nor is any of its
property the subject of, any material pending legal proceeding.
(b) As disclosed in the Registrant's Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1997, the registrant was a
party to two related lawsuits involving the manufacture promotion and sale of
certain handbag styles. In order to resolve certain claims asserted by Leegin
Creative Leather Products, Inc. ("Leegin") that the promotion and sale by the
Registrant of a limited number of handbag styles violated Leegin's intellectual
property rights, in November 1996 the Registrant instituted an action in the
United Stated District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking,
among other things, a declaratory judgement that it had not violated Leegin's
rights under applicable law and seeking unspecified monetary damages from Leegin
on the grounds that certain of Leegin's written statements constituted libel.
Leegin contested the relief requested by the Registrant and subsequently
instituted an action in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas against the
Registrant, and certain of the Registrant's customers and independent sales
representatives, alleging that the said handbag styles violated Leegin's rights
under Texas law.
On May 29, 1997, the Registrant entered into a settlement of the two
lawsuits, pursuant to which the Registrant paid a total of $487,500. Pursuant to
the settlement, the two lawsuits have been dismissed with prejudice. The
Registrant subsequently received from its insurance carrier a payment which
reimbursed the Registrant for a significant portion of the settlement payment as
well as the Registrant's associated legal expenses, which reimbursement is
included in the fiscal 1997 results.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
- ------- ----------------------------------------------------
The Registrant did not submit any matters to a vote of its security
holders, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the three-
months ended June 30, 1997.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
------- FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
----------------------------------------------
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The net increase in cash and cash equivalents in the fiscal years
ended June 30,1997, 1996 and 1995 was $915,000, $422,000 and $58,000,
respectively. The increase in fiscal 1997 was the result of an excess of
funds from financing activities (bank borrowing under the Company's credit
line) of $3,063,000 over funds used in investing activities of $467,000 and
funds used in operating activities of $1,681,000. Funds from operating
activities were used mainly to reduce accounts payable and other current
liabilities totaling $1,677,000 and to finance the $1,179,000 increase in
accounts receivable. These funds were principally offset by a decrease in
inventories of $1,010,000 which resulted from higher shipping in June 1997
compared to June 1996 and net earnings from operations of $763,000. Cash
used in investing activities was primarily for property and equipment
additions.
Through a $20,000,000 credit line with its bank, the Company has
short-term borrowing capabilities, and can issue letters of credit for
purchase commitments and issue bankers acceptances. Within this line of
credit, the Company has available up to $10,000,000 of short-term loans and
bankers acceptances at either prime or LIBOR rates. All borrowing, with the
exception of bankers acceptances, is unsecured. Amounts outstanding under
the unsecured short-term line of credit at June 30, 1997 was $4,163,000.
Reference is made to Note F "Credit Facilities," of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements on page F-10 of this Form 10-K for
additional information about the Company's credit lines.
There were no material commitments for capital expenditures at June
30, 1997.
The net increase in cash and cash equivalents in the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996 was $422,000. This increase was the result of an excess
of funds provided by operating activities of $3,176,000 over funds used in
investing activities of $315,000 and financing activities of $2,439,000.
Funds provided by operating activities increased mainly due to an increase
in accounts payable of $5,010,000 mostly financing the increase in inventory
and net earnings from operations totaling $685,000. These funds were
principally offset by an increase in inventories of $3,330,000 due to
increased orders for goods planned to be shipped in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997. Cash used in investing activities was primarily for the
purchase of bonds (securities available for sale) of $3,673,000 and for the
purchase of certain trademarks and other assets from McCrackin Industries,
Inc. for $1,500,000. Reference is made to Note M "Purchase of Trademarks"
of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page F-15 of this Form
10-K. These items were offset, in part, by sales of securities available
for sale totaling $5,034,000. Funds used in financing activities of
$2,439,000 were entirely related to the pay down of outstanding notes
payable to the Company's bank under an existing bank line of credit.
The net increase in cash and cash equivalents in the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1995 was $58,000. This increase was the result of an excess
of funds provided by operating activities of $2,967,000 over funds used in
investing activities of $192,000 and financing activities of $2,717,000.
Funds provided by operating activities were mainly the result of a decrease
in accounts receivable of $4,445,000 as a result of lower sales in the final
months of this fiscal period, a decrease in inventories of $2,277,000 due to
increased emphasis on purchasing inventory for certain divisions by specific
order rather than for stock, as well as anticipated lower demand for goods,
and from the sale of
-8-
<PAGE>
marketable trading securities of $1,662,000. These funds were principally
offset by the net loss of $2,320,000, an increase in both deferred and
prepaid and refundable income taxes of $2,032,000, the purchase of trading
securities totaling $620,000 and a decrease in accounts payable and other
current liabilities of $1,012,000, which resulted from lower inventory
levels. Cash used in investing activities was primarily for the purchase of
bonds (securities available for sale) plus additions to property and
equipment. Funds used in financing activities were principally for the
repayment of bank loans of $2,000,000 and dividends paid for the first and
second quarters of the 1995 fiscal year totaling $715,000.
The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). During
fiscal 1994, the Company guaranteed a bank loan to the ESOP in the amount of
$1,150,000, the proceeds of which were also used to purchase shares of the
Company's Common Stock. At June 30, 1997, the loan balance was $509,000.
Reference is made to Note L, "Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust," of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page F-15 of this Form
10-K.
As of June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, working capital was
$16,697,000, $15,993,000 and $16,697,000, respectively. The ratio of
current assets to current liabilities for those same periods was 2.2 to 1,
2.3 to 1 and 2.6 to 1, respectively. The change in the current ratio in 1996
was primarily due to the increases in accounts payable and other current
liabilities which rose (mostly attributable to the purchase of trademarks
referred to above) at a proportionately higher rate than the offsetting
increase in inventory. The Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities totaled $5,187,000, $4,279,000, and $5,191,000 at June 30, 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company believes that funds provided by
operations, existing working capital and the Company's current bank lines
will be sufficient to meet its anticipated short-term and long-term working
capital needs.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
1997 COMPARED TO 1996
Net sales were $77,156,000, or $4,844,000 greater than fiscal 1996.
This increase was primarily due to increased apparel sales, an increase in
the premium business and an increase in the children's licensing business
offset somewhat by a decrease in moderately priced handbag line.
Gross profit margins improved slightly due to stronger margins from
licensed products and from improved apparel business margins.
Other income, almost exclusively from investments, declined due to a
lower level of investments in fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996.
The earnings increase for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997
compared to the prior year was due to slightly higher gross profit margins
on increased sales and a slightly lower effective tax rate compared to the
prior fiscal year offset by higher shipping, selling and administrative
expenses.
1996 COMPARED TO 1995
Net sales were $72,312,000 which was slightly lower than net sales
of $73,577,000 in fiscal 1995. This reduction was part of lower anticipated
sales based on the Company's 1995
-9-
<PAGE>
restructuring which included emphasis on improving the gross profit margin
and of buying inventory for certain divisions by specific order rather than
for stock.
During fiscal 1995, the Company decided to institute a restructuring
program as a result of the decline in sales and margins and the increased
direct importation by accessory and apparel retailers. This program
resulted in a pre-tax restructuring charge of $995,000, representing
employee severance and other exit costs in connection with the closure of a
warehouse and showroom. In addition, there were costs of $1,761,000,
primarily for the write-down to market value of inventory of certain
divisions of the Company, as well as costs incurred during the wind-down of
operations in those closed facilities.
Gross profit in 1996 increased due to relatively fewer markdowns
taken after the Company's fiscal 1995 restructuring. Shipping, selling and
administrative expense decreased due to a reduction in certain fixed
expenses following the Company's fiscal 1995 restructuring. Interest
expense decreased due to lower aggregate average borrowing in fiscal 1996
compared to fiscal 1995.
Other income, almost exclusively from investments, was slightly
higher than the same 1995 period due to a small increase in the overall
average investment interest rate.
The earnings increase for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996
compared to the prior year was due mainly to better gross profit margins,
lower shipping, selling and administrative expense as well as lower interest
expense.The loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 was due mainly from
decreased sales volume and lower margins, offset by decreased shipping,
selling, administrative expenses as well as costs associated with the
restructuring.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per
Share," which is effective for the Company for the year ended June 30, 1998.
SFAS No. 128 simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share
previously found in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 and
establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per share.
Application of SFAS No. 128 is not expected to have a significant affect on
the Company's earnings per share.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which is effective for
the Company for the year ended June 30, 1999. SFAS No. 131 requires
disclosure about operating segments in complete sets of financial statements
and in condensed financial statements of interim periods issued to
shareholders. The new standard also requires that the Company report
certain information about their products and services, the geographic areas
in which they operate, and major customers. The Company has not yet
determined the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 131.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Jaclyn, Inc.
West New York, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jaclyn, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended June 30, 1997. Our audits also included the
consolidated financial statement schedule of Jaclyn Inc. and Subsidiaries listed
in item 14(a)2. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement
schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our
opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Jaclyn, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30,
1997 and 1996, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1997 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, such financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects,
the information set forth therein.

JACLYN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_________________________________________________________________________
NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Jaclyn, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") are engaged in the design,
manufacture, marketing and sale of handbags, accessories, apparel and related
products. The Company sells its products to retailers, including department and
specialty stores, national chains, major discounters and mass volume retailers,
throughout the United States.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions
and balances have been eliminated.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. The Company provides for
depreciation and amortization on the straight-line method over the following
estimated useful lives:
Buildings 25 to 40 years
Machinery and equipment 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 5 years
Leasehold improvements Lesser of life of the asset or
life of the lease
Automobiles and trucks 3 to 5 years
Intangible Assets
Goodwill and trademarks arising from acquisitions are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over periods not exceeding 20 years. The Company regularly
reviews the individual components of the balances by evaluating the future cash
flows of the businesses to determine the recoverability of the assets and
recognizes, on a current basis, any diminution in value.
F-7
<PAGE>
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized at the time merchandise is shipped. Retail factory outlet
store revenues are recognized at the time of sale.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of."
SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be
recoverable. Adoption of SFAS No. 121, which was effective for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1997, did not have a material impact on the Company.
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which is
effective for the Company for the year ended June 30, 1998. SFAS No. 128
simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share previously found in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 and establishes new standards for
computing and presenting earnings per share. Application of SFAS No. 128 is not
expected to have a significant affect on the Company's earnings per share.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," which is effective for the Company for the
year ended June 30, 1999. SFAS No. 131 requires disclosure about operating
segments in complete sets of financial statements and in condensed financial
statements of interim periods issued to shareholders. The new standard also
requires that the Company report certain information about their products and
services, the geographic areas in which they operate, and major customers. The
Company has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 131.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash in excess of daily requirements is invested in certificates of deposits and
money market funds with maturities of three months or less. Such investments are
deemed to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts and notes payable and
accrued expenses are assumed to approximate fair value due to their short
maturities. The carrying value of the long-term bank loan, which bears interest
at a variable rate, approximates fair value. Securities are recorded at fair
value, which is based principally on quoted market prices.
Earnings (loss) per share
Earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net earnings
(loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each
year.
Reclassifications
Certain items in prior years of the accompanying consolidated financial
statements and notes to consolidated financial statements have been reclassified
for comparative purposes.

Rental expense, including real estate taxes, for all operating leases, totaled
$683,000, $938,000 and $1,062,000 for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
NOTE F - CREDIT FACILITIES
The Company has a line of credit with a bank for short-term loans, letters of
credit and bankers acceptances amounting to $20,000,000. At June 30, 1997 and
1996, the Company was contingently obligated on open letters of credit for
approximately $14,789,000 and $8,584,000, respectively. Within the $20,000,000
credit line, the Company can borrow up to $10,000,000 on an unsecured short-term
line of credit and a banker's acceptance line. Borrowing on the unsecured short-
term line of credit was $600,000 and $1,100,000 as of June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Borrowing on the bankers acceptance line was $3,563,000 and $-0-
as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. These loans were at the bank's prime
rate or below (LIBOR) at the option of the Company. The bank's prime rate at
June 30, 1997 was 8.50%. During fiscal 1997, the average amount outstanding
under the short-term line was $2,259,000 with a weighted average interest rate
of 8.0%. During 1996, the average amount outstanding under the short-term line
was $2,895,000 with a weighted average interest rate of 8.0%. The maximum amount
outstanding during fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996 was $6,800,000 and $4,000,000,
respectively.

NOTE G - STOCK OPTIONS
The Company has an Incentive Stock Option Plan permitting the granting of
options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of common stock. Under the Plan, the
option price cannot be less than the fair market value of the stock as of the
date of the granting of the option and 110% of the fair market value for certain
management employees. Options, which may be granted to December 2000, are
exercisable as determined by the Board of Directors.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting Stock-Based
Compensation" (SFAS 123) was effective for the Company for fiscal 1997. SFAS No.
123 encourages (but does not require) compensation expense to be measured based
on the fair value of the equity instrument awarded. In accordance with APB No.
25, no compensation cost has been recognized in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations for the Company's stock option plans. If compensation cost for the
Company's stock option plans had been determined in accordance with the fair
value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income would have
been $739,000 for 1997, or $.26 per share. This pro forma information may not be
representative of the amounts to be expected in future years as the fair value
method of accounting prescribed by SFAS No. 123 has not been applied to options
granted prior to 1996.
Stock option transactions are summarized below:

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of each grant using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following weighted average
assumptions used for grants in 1997: risk-free interest rate of 6.43%; expected
life of 10 years; expected volatility of 36.37%; dividend yield of 0%. The fair
values generated by the Black-Scholes model may not be indicative of the future
benefit, if any, that may be received by the option holder.
NOTE H- PREFERRED STOCK
The Board of Directors of the Company has authority (without action by the
stockholders) to issue the authorized and unissued preferred stock in one or
more series and, within certain limitations, to determine the voting rights,
preference as to dividends and in liquidation, conversion and other rights of
each such series. No shares of preferred stock have been issued.

NOTE J - EMPLOYEE'S PENSION TRUST
The Company and its subsidiaries have a trusteed defined benefit pension plan
for certain of their salaried and hourly personnel. The plan provides pension
benefits that are based on a fixed amount of compensation per year of service,
career average pay or on the employee's compensation during a specified number
of years before retirement. The Company's funding policy is to make annual
contributions required by the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974.
The net pension expense includes the following components:

NOTE K - SALES TO MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND PURCHASES FROM MAJOR SUPPLIERS
During the year ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, revenues derived from sales
to one customer were 13%, 20% and 15%, respectively. Sales to a second customer
were 12%, 12% and 13%, respectively, and to a third customer were 9%, 11% and
8%, respectively.
The Company relies on suppliers to purchase a variety of raw materials. The
Company had one supplier who in the aggregate constituted 14% of the Company's
purchases for the year ended June 30, 1997.
NOTE L - EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN AND TRUST
The Company maintains a non-contributory Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the
"ESOP") and Trust, for its employees who are not covered by a collective
bargaining agreement.
On February 15, 1994, the ESOP authorized the Trust to borrow $1,150,000 from a
bank, which loan is guaranteed by the Company. The debt bears interest at the
prime rate and is payable in a minimum of ten annual installments. The proceeds,
together with the Company's contribution of $100,000 for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1994, representing interest and other costs, were used to purchase
90,000 shares of common stock at $13.125 (the market price on February 14, 1994)
from members of the control group representing officers and shareholders of the
Company. As of June 30, 1997, the guaranteed ESOP bank loan was $509,000.
Contributions to the ESOP are at the discretion of the Company's Board of
Directors. During fiscal 1997 and 1996, the Company contributed $250,000 and
$250,000 to the ESOP, respectively. ESOP expense was approximately $250,000 for
the years ended June 30,1997 and June 30, 1996, which includes $195,000 and
$184,000 of compensation expense and $55,000 and $77,000 of interest expense,
respectively. Compensation expense related to the plan is based upon the number
of shares allocated to participants in the current year.
Vesting occurs after five years of service. However, if the ESOP is deemed "top-
heavy", vesting will occur at the rate of 20% per year after the completion of
the second year of service.
NOTE M - PURCHASE OF TRADEMARKS
During June 1996, the Company acquired certain trademarks and other assets from
McCrackin Industries, Inc. and its affiliates, for a purchase price of
$1,500,000. The trademarks include "Saddle River," under which the Company has
been manufacturing and distributing women's handbags for the past 9 years. In
connection with the acquisition, two of the principals of McCrackin Industries
have entered into a separate consulting agreement with the Company for a period
of 18 months for marketing and consulting services. During this period, those
principals have an option to buy back the trademarks for pre-determined prices
in excess of the purchase price.
NOTE N - CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING
During fiscal 1995, the Company instituted a corporate-wide restructuring
program as a result of experiencing declines in sales and margins, and due to
increased direct importation by accessory and apparel retailers. This program,
which was completed by June 30, 1995, resulted in a pre-tax restructuring charge
of $995,000 representing employee severance and other exit costs in connection
with the closure of a warehouse and showroom. Additional costs of $1,761,000
were incurred primarily for the write-down of inventory to market value relating
to certain of the Company's divisions, as well as for costs incurred during the
wind-down of operations in those closed facilities.

EXHIBIT 10(O)
JACLYN, INC.
1996 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN
1. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
The purpose of this 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan") of JACLYN, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), is to make
- ----- -------
available shares of the Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share, of the Company
(the "Common Stock") for purchase by directors who are not employees of the
------------
Company (the "Non-Employee Directors") and thus to attract and retain the
----------------------
services of experienced and knowledgeable Non-Employee Directors for the benefit
of the Company and its stockholders and to provide additional incentive for such
Non-Employee Directors to continue to work for the best interests of the Company
and its stockholders through continuing ownership of its Common Stock.
2. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
Subject to the provisions of Article 10, the total number of shares of
Common Stock for which options may be granted under the Plan shall be 100,000.
Shares issued under the Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares or
shares which shall have been purchased or acquired by the Company for this or
any other purpose. Such shares are from time to time to be allotted for option
and sale to Non-Employee Directors in accordance with the Plan. In the event
any option granted under the Plan shall expire, be canceled or terminate for any
reason without having been exercised in full or shall cease for any reason to be
exercisable in whole or in part, the unpurchased shares subject thereto shall
again be available for grant under the Plan.
3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company
(the "Board"). The Board shall, subject to the express provisions of the Plan,
-----
(a) grant options pursuant to the terms of the Plan; (b) have the power to
interpret the Plan; (c) correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any
inconsistency in the Plan; (d) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and
regulations relating to, but not inconsistent with, the Plan; (e) determine the
terms and provisions of the respective option agreements (which need not be
identical); and (f) make determinations necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan. The determination of the Board on the matters
referred to in this Article 3 shall be conclusive. No member of the Board shall
be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the
Plan or any options granted hereunder.
A-1
<PAGE>
4. OPTION GRANTS
Each individual who is a Non-Employee Director immediately following the
conclusion of the Company's 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders at which
directors are elected shall, effective as of such date, be granted an option to
purchase 2,000 shares of Common Stock. Each individual who subsequent thereto
becomes a Non-Employee Director shall, effective as of the date such person
becomes a Non-Employee Director, be granted an option to purchase 2,000 shares
of Common Stock. In addition, immediately following each annual meeting of
stockholders at which directors are elected which is held subsequent to the
Company's 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, each Non-Employee Director in
office immediately following the conclusion of such meeting (whether or not
elected at such meeting) shall, effective as of the date such meeting is held,
be granted an option to purchase 2,000 shares of Common Stock; provided that an
--------
individual who becomes a Non-Employee Director for the first time at such a
meeting of stockholders shall be granted only one option to purchase an
aggregate of 2,000 shares of Common Stock under this sentence and the preceding
sentence. A director who is an employee of the Company who ceases such
relationship but remains a director shall not be deemed to become a Non-Employee
Director unless and until he or she is serving as a Non-Employee Director
immediately following the conclusion of the next annual meeting of stockholders
at which directors are elected (whether or not such person is elected as a
director at such meeting). In the event the remaining shares available for
grant under the Plan are not sufficient to grant options to each such Non-
Employee Director at any time, the number of shares subject to the options to be
granted at such time shall be reduced proportionately.
5. EXERCISE PRICE
The exercise price per share at which shares of the Common Stock may be
purchased pursuant to options granted under the Plan shall be equal to the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date an option is granted, but not less
than the par value of the Common Stock. The fair market value of a share of the
Common Stock on any day shall be (a) if actual sales price information is
generally reported for the Common Stock on its principal market, the closing
price, regular way, per share of the Common Stock on such day (or the last day
of trade prior to such day if not traded on such day) as reported by such market
or on a consolidated tape reflecting transactions on such market, (b) if actual
sales price information is not generally reported for the Common Stock on its
principal market, the mean between the highest bid and lowest asked prices per
share for the Common Stock on such day (or the last day quoted prior to such day
if not quoted on such day) as reported by on the National Association of
Securities Dealers (including under its OTC Bulletin Board Service), National
Quotation Bureau Incorporated or a similar organization, or (c) if neither of
the above are applicable, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be
determined by the Board by any method not inconsistent with applicable
regulations adopted by the Treasury Department relating to stock options.
A-2
<PAGE>
6. TERM OF EACH OPTION
The term of each option shall be ten years (the "Scheduled Expiration
--------------------
Date"), subject to earlier termination as provided in the Plan.
7. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS
(a) Subject to the provisions of Article 9, each option granted under the
Plan shall be fully exercisable at any time or times during its term. A Non-
Employee Director purchasing less than the number of shares available to him or
her in any period under the option may purchase any such unpurchased shares in
any subsequent period of the option term.
(b) The option shall not be exercisable at any time in an amount less than
100 shares (or the remaining shares then covered by and purchasable under the
option if less than 100 shares). In no case may a fraction of a share be
exercised, purchased or issued under the Plan.
(c) The purchase price of the shares as to which an option shall be
exercised shall be paid in full at the time of exercise (i) in cash or by
certified check or (ii) with previously acquired shares of Common Stock having
an aggregate fair market value on the date of exercise (determined in accordance
with Article 5) equal to the aggregate exercise price of all options being
exercised, or (iii) any combination of cash, certified check or shares of Common
Stock. In addition, the Non-Employee Director shall pay to the Company in cash,
upon demand, the amount, if any, which the Company determines is necessary to
satisfy its obligation to withhold federal, state and local income and other
taxes or other amounts incurred by reason of the grant or exercise of the
option.
(d) An option (or any part thereof), to the extent then exercisable, shall
be exercised by giving written notice to the Company at its principal office,
Attention: Chief Financial Officer, specifying the number of shares of Common
Stock as to which such option is being exercised and accompanied by payment in
full of the aggregate exercise price therefor.
(e) A Non-Employee Director entitled to receive shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of an option shall not have the rights of a stockholder with
respect to such shares of Common Stock until the date of issuance of a stock
certificate to him or her for such shares; provided, that until such stock
--------
certificate is issued, any Non-Employee Director using previously acquired
shares of Common Stock in payment of an option exercise price shall continue to
have the rights of stockholder with respect to such previously acquired shares.
(f) Nothing in the Plan or in any option granted under the Plan shall
confer on any Non-Employee Director any right to continue as a director of the
Company.
A-3
<PAGE>
8. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS
No option granted under the Plan shall be transferable other than by will
or the laws of descent and distribution by the Non-Employee Director or his or
her legal representatives, and may be exercised during the Non-Employee
Director's lifetime only by him or her. Except to such extent, options may not
be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or disposed of in any way
(whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to
execution, attachment or similar process.
9. TERMINATION OF SERVICES ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
(a) In the event that a Non-Employee Director to whom an option has been
granted under the Plan shall cease to serve on the Board for any reason
(including as a result of not being re-elected to the Board), other than by
reason of his or her death or disability (as that term is defined in paragraph
(d) of this Article 9), such option may be exercised in whole or in part by the
Non-Employee Director, at any time within three months after such cessation of
service but not thereafter, and in no event after the Scheduled Expiration Date;
provided, that if his or her service on the Board shall have been terminated for
- --------
cause or if he or she resigns without the consent of a majority of the remaining
members of the Board, his or her options shall terminate immediately.
(b) If a Non-Employee Director to whom an option has been granted under
the Plan shall cease to serve on the Board by reason of disability, the option
may be exercised in whole or in part by the Non-Employee Director at any time
within one year after such cessation of service but not thereafter, and in no
event after the Scheduled Expiration Date.
(c) If a Non-Employee Director to whom an option has been granted under
the Plan shall die while he or she is serving on the Board, such option may be
exercised in whole or in part by the legatee or legatees of such option under
the Non-Employee Director's last will, or by his or her personal representatives
or distributees, within one year after the date of his or her death, but not
thereafter, and in no event after the Scheduled Expiration Date.
(d) For the purpose of this Article 9, "disability" shall mean permanent
and total disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as reasonably determined by the
----
Board. The Non-Employee Director as to whom such determination is being made
shall not participate in the Board's deliberation or vote in making such
determination.
10. ADJUSTMENT OF AND CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK
In the event of any change in the outstanding Common Stock by reason of a
stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, recapitalization, spin-off,
merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, reorganization or the
like, the aggregate number and kind of shares subject to the Plan, the number
and kind of shares to be granted annually, and the aggregate number and kind of
shares subject to each outstanding option and the exercise price thereof shall
be appropriately
A-4
<PAGE>
adjusted by the Board in a manner similar to the antidilution adjustments made
under the Company's employee stock option plans. The Board's determination
under this Article 10 shall be conclusive and binding on all parties.
11. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS
(a) It is a condition to the exercise of any option that either (i) a
Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any
succeeding act (collectively, the "Securities Act"), with respect to its
--------------
underlying shares shall be effective and current at the time of exercise of the
option or (ii) in the opinion of counsel to the Company, there shall be an
exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the issuance of shares
of Common Stock upon such exercise. Nothing herein shall be construed as
requiring the Company to register shares subject to the Plan for issuance or for
resale.
(b) In connection with fulfilling the condition set forth in clause
(a)(ii) of this Article 11, the Company may require a Non-Employee Director, as
a condition to the exercise of an option, to execute and deliver to the Company
representations and warranties, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel to
the Company, that (i) the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise
of the option are being acquired by the Non-Employee Director for his or her own
account, for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution
thereof, all within the meaning of the Securities Act, and (ii) any subsequent
resale or distribution of shares of Common Stock by such Non-Employee Director
will be made only pursuant to (x) a Registration Statement under the Securities
Act which is effective and current with respect to the shares of Common Stock
being sold at the time of sale or (y) a specific exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, but in claiming such exemption, the Non-
Employee Director shall, prior to any offer or sale or distri bution of such
shares of Common Stock, provide the Company with a favorable written opinion of
counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel to the Company, as to the
applicability of such exemption to the proposed sale or distribution. The
Company may endorse such legend or legends upon the certificates for shares of
Common Stock issued upon exercise of an option under the Plan, and may issue
such "stop transfer" instructions to its transfer agent in respect of such
shares, as it determines, in its discretion, to be necessary or appropriate to
prevent a violation of, or to perfect an exemption from, the registration
requirements of the Securities Act.
(c) The Company may also require, as a further condition to the exercise
of an option, in whole or in part, that the shares of Common Stock underlying
such option or the Plan be specifically listed on the securities markets on
which the Company's Common Stock is traded and be registered or qualified under
any applicable state securities laws, and that the consent or approval of any
governmental regulatory body, which the Company deems necessary or desirable as
a condition to the exercise of such option or the issue of shares thereunder,
shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions requiring the
Company to qualify as a foreign corporation or to execute a general consent to
service of process in any jurisdiction wherein it has not already done so and
free of any other conditions not customarily imposed by a securities exchange,
law or governmental regulatory body in connection with such listing,
qualification, consent or approval.
A-5
<PAGE>
12. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof
at any time except that, to the extent required by applicable law, the Board may
not, without the approval of the Company's stockholders, make any alteration or
amendment which changes the class of eligible participants as determined in
accordance with Articles 1 and 4 hereof, or increases the total number of shares
of Common Stock for which options may be granted under the Plan except as
provided in Article 10 hereof. No amendment shall adversely affect the rights
under any then outstanding option without the consent of the holder thereof.
13. STOCK OPTION CONTRACTS
Each option shall be evidenced by an appropriate contract which shall be
duly executed by the Company and the Non-Employee Director, and shall contain
such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by
the Board.
14. DUTIES OF THE COMPANY
The Company shall, at all times during the term of each option, reserve
and keep available for issuance or delivery such number of shares of Common
Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of all options at the
time outstanding, shall pay all original issue taxes with respect to the
issuance or delivery of shares pursuant to the exercise of such options and all
other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection
therewith.
15. EFFECTIVE PERIOD
The Plan shall become effective on May 14, 1996, the date of its adoption
by the Board of Directors; provided, that if the Plan is not approved within 12
--------
months thereof by the favorable vote then required for such action under the
Delaware General Corporation Law at a meeting to be held to consider such
approval, the Plan will be null and void ab initio and of no further effect. No
-- ------
options may be granted under the Plan after May 13, 2006. Options outstanding
on or prior to such date shall, however, in all respects continue subject to the
Plan.

-----------------------------------
THIS NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION CONTRACT entered into as of the 3rd day
of December 1996, between JACLYN, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
-------
and Martin Brody (the "Optionee").
--------
W I T N E S S E T H:

1. The Company, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan of the Company (the "Plan"), grants
----

2,000 shares of the Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share, of the Company
("Common Stock"), at $5.125 per share, being 100% of the fair market value of
- --------------
such shares of Common Stock on such date.
2. The term of this option shall be 10 years, subject to earlier
termination as provided in the Plan. This option shall be exercisable
immediately as to 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock subject hereto;
provided, that this option shall not be exercisable at any time in an amount
- --------
less than 100 shares (or the remaining shares covered hereby if less than 100
shares).
3. This option shall be exercised by giving written notice to the
Company at its principal office, presently 635 59th Street, West New York, New
Jersey 07093, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, stating that the Optionee is
exercising this option, specifying the number of shares being purchased and
accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate purchase price therefor (a) in
cash or by certified check, (b) with previously acquired shares of Common Stock
having an aggregate fair market value on the date of exercise (determined in
accordance with Article 5 of the Plan) equal to the aggregate exercise price of
all options being exercised, or (c) any combination of the foregoing. In
addition, the Optionee agrees to pay to the Company in cash, upon demand, the
amount, if any, which the Company determines is necessary to satisfy its
obligation to withhold federal, state and local income and other taxes or other
amounts incurred by reason of the grant or exercise of this option. In no event
may a fraction of a share of Common Stock be purchased hereunder.
4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the provisions
of Article 11 of the Plan, this option shall not be exercisable by the Optionee
unless (a) a registra tion statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act") with respect to the shares of Common Stock
--------------
issuable upon the exercise of this option shall be effective and current at the
time of exercise or (b) there is an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act for the issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon exercise.
At the request of the

the Company, that the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of
the option are being acquired by the Optionee for his own account, for
investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof within
the meaning of the Securities Act. Nothing herein shall be construed so as to
obligate the Company to register the shares subject to this option under the
Securities Act.
5. Nothing in the Plan or herein shall confer upon the Optionee any
right to continue as a director of the Company.
6. The Company may endorse such legends upon the certificates for
shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this option and may issue such
"stop transfer" instructions to its transfer agent in respect of such shares as
it determines, in its discretion, to be necessary or appropriate to prevent a
violation of, or to perfect an exemption from, the registration requirements of
the Securities Act.
7. The Company and the Optionee agree that they will both be subject
to and bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, a copy of which is
attached hereto and made a part hereof. In the event the Optionee is no longer
a director of the Company or in the event of his death or disability (as defined
in the Plan), his rights hereunder shall be governed by and be subject to the
provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this
Contract and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.
8. The Optionee represents and agrees that he will comply with all
applicable laws relating to the Plan and to the grant and exercise of this
option and the disposition of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise
of this option, including without limitation, federal and state securities and
"blue sky" laws.
9. This option is not transferable otherwise than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the
Optionee only by him.
10. This Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
any successor or assign of the Company and to any heir, distributee, executor,
administrator or legal representative entitled under the Plan and by law to the
Optionee's rights hereunder.
11. This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware.
12. The invalidity or illegality of any provision herein shall not
affect the validity of any other provision.

accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate purchase price therefor (a) in

4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the provisions

the meaning of the Securities Act. Nothing herein shall be construed so as to
obligate the Company to register the shares subject to this option under the
Securities Act.
5. Nothing in the Plan or herein shall confer upon the Optionee any
right to continue as a director of the Company.
6. The Company may endorse such legends upon the certificates for
shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this option and may issue such
"stop transfer" instructions to its transfer agent in respect of such shares as
it determines, in its discretion, to be necessary or appropriate to prevent a
violation of, or to perfect an exemption from, the registration requirements of
the Securities Act.
7. The Company and the Optionee agree that they will both be subject
to and bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, a copy of which is
attached hereto and made a part hereof. In the event the Optionee is no longer
a director of the Company or in the event of his death or disability (as defined
in the Plan), his rights hereunder shall be governed by and be subject to the
provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this
Contract and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.
8. The Optionee represents and agrees that he will comply with all
applicable laws relating to the Plan and to the grant and exercise of this
option and the disposition of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise
of this option, including without limitation, federal and state securities and
"blue sky" laws.
9. This option is not transferable otherwise than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the
Optionee only by him.
10. This Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
any successor or assign of the Company and to any heir, distributee, executor,
administrator or legal representative entitled under the Plan and by law to the
Optionee's rights hereunder.
11. This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware.
12. The invalidity or illegality of any provision herein shall not
affect the validity of any other provision.
