          number of Shares to which an Award may relate, the terms and
          conditions of any Award granted under the Plan (including, but not
          limited to, any exercise price, grant price, or purchase price, and
          any bases for adjusting such exercise, grant or purchase price, the
          terms of any put or call rights with respect to an Award, any
          restriction or condition, any schedule for lapse of restrictions or
          conditions relating to transferability or forfeiture, exercisability,
          or settlement of an Award, and waiver or accelerations thereof, and
          waivers of performance conditions relating to an Award, based in each
          case on such considerations as the Committee shall determine), and all
          other matters to be determined in connection with an Award;

          (v)     to determine whether, to what extent, and under what
          circumstances an Award may be settled, or the exercise price of an
          Award may be paid, in cash, Shares, other Awards, or other property,
          or an Award may be canceled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered;

          (vi)    to determine whether, to what extent, and under what
          circumstances cash, Shares, other Awards, or other property payable
          with respect to an Award will be deferred either automatically, at the
          election of the Committee, or at the election of the Eligible Person;

          (vii)   to prescribe the form of each Award Agreement, which need not
          be identical for each Eligible Person;

          (viii)  to adopt, amend, suspend, waive, and rescind such rules and
          regulations and appoint such agents as the Committee may deem
          necessary or advisable to administer the Plan;

                                      -5-

          (ix)    to correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any

          (xi)    to make all other decisions and determinations as may be
          required under the terms of the Plan or as the Committee may deem
          necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

               (b)    Manner of Exercise of Committee Authority. The Committee
shall have sole discretion in exercising its authority under the Plan. Any
action of the Committee with respect to the Plan shall be final, conclusive, and
binding on all persons, including the Company, Subsidiaries, Affiliates,
Eligible Persons, any person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through
any Eligible Person, and shareholders. The express grant of any specific power
to the Committee, and the taking of any action by the Committee, shall not be
construed as limiting any power or authority of the Committee. The Committee may
delegate to other members of the Board or officers or managers of the Company or
any Subsidiary or Affiliate the authority, subject to such terms as the
Committee shall determine, to perform administrative functions and, with respect
to Awards granted to persons not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, to
perform such other functions as the Committee may determine, to the extent
permitted under Rule 16b-3 (if applicable) and applicable law.

               (c)    Limitation of Liability. Each member of the Committee
shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other
information furnished to him or her by any officer or other employee of the
Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, the Company's independent certified
public accountants, or other professional retained by the Company to assist in
the administration of the Plan. No member of the Committee, and no officer or
employee of the Company acting on behalf of the Committee, shall be personally
liable for any action, determination, or interpretation taken or made in good
faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Committee and any officer
or employee of the Company acting on their behalf shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company with respect to any
such action, determination, or interpretation.

                                      -6-

               4.     Shares Subject to the Plan.
                      ---------------------------

               (a)    Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b) hereof,
the total number of Shares reserved for issuance in connection with Awards under
the Plan shall be 2,222,000. No Award may be granted if the number of Shares to
which such Award relates, when added to the number of Shares previously issued
under the Plan, exceeds the number of Shares reserved under the preceding
sentence. If any Awards are forfeited, canceled, terminated, exchanged or
surrendered or such Award is settled in cash or otherwise terminates without a
distribution of Shares to the Participant, any Shares counted against the number
of Shares reserved and available under the Plan with respect to such Award
shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, settlement, termination,
cancellation, exchange or surrender, again be available for Awards under the
Plan. Upon the exercise of any Award granted in tandem with any other Awards,
such related Awards shall be canceled to the extent of the number of Shares as
to which the Award is exercised.

               (b)    In the event that the Committee shall determine that any
dividend in Shares, recapitalization, Share split, reverse split,
reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or
share exchange, or other similar corporate transaction or event, affects the
Shares such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the rights of Eligible Persons under the Plan, then the Committee
shall make such equitable changes or adjustments as it deems appropriate and, in
such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and
kind of shares which may thereafter be issued under the Plan, (ii) the number
and kind of shares, other securities or other consideration issued or issuable
in respect of outstanding Awards, and (iii) the exercise price, grant price, or
purchase price relating to any Award; provided, however, in each case that, with
respect to ISOs, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with Section 424(a)
of the Code, unless the Committee determines otherwise. In addition, the
Committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and
the criteria and performance objectives, if any, included in, Awards in
recognition of unusual or non-recurring events (including, without limitation,
events described in the preceding sentence) affecting the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate or the financial statements of the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate, or in response to changes in applicable laws,
regulations, or accounting principles.

               (c)    Any Shares distributed pursuant to an Award may consist,
in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or treasury Shares
including Shares acquired by purchase in the open market or in private
transactions.

               5.     Specific Terms of Awards.
                      -------------------------

               (a)    General. Awards may be granted on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Section 5. In addition, the Committee may impose on any Award
or the ex-

                                      -7-

ercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter (subject to Section 7(d)),
such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of
the Plan, as the Committee shall determine, including terms regarding forfeiture
of Awards or continued exercisability of Awards in the event of termination of
service by the Eligible Person.

               (b)    Options. The Committee is authorized to grant Options,
which may be NQSOs or ISOs and which may be reload Options, to Eligible Persons
on the following terms and conditions:

          (i)     Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share purchasable under
          an Option shall be determined by the Committee, and the Committee may,
          without limitation, set an exercise price that is based upon
          achievement of performance criteria if deemed appropriate by the
          Committee.

          (ii)    Option Term.  The term of each Option shall be determined by
          the Committee.

          (iii)   Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine at
          the date of grant or thereafter the time or times at which an Option
          may be exercised in whole or in part (including, without limitation,
          upon achievement of performance criteria if deemed appropriate by the
          Committee), the methods by which such exercise price may be paid or
          deemed to be paid (including, without limitation, broker-assisted
          exercise arrangements), the form of such payment (including, without
          limitation, cash, Shares, notes or other property), and the methods by
          which Shares will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Eligible
          Persons.

          (iv)    Early Exercise. The Committee may provide at the time of grant
          or any time thereafter, in its sole discretion, that any Option shall
          be exercisable with respect to Shares that otherwise would not then be
          exercisable, provided that, in connection with such exercise, the
          Participant enters into a form of Restricted Share agreement approved
          by the Committee.

          (v)     ISOs. The terms of any ISO granted under the Plan shall comply
          in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code,
          including but not limited to the requirement that the ISO shall be
          granted within ten years from the earlier of the date of adoption or
          shareholder approval of the Plan. ISOs may only be granted to
          employees of the Company or a Subsidiary.

               (c)    SARs. The Committee is authorized to grant SARs (Share
Appreciation Rights) to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions:

                                      -8-

          (i)     Right to Payment. An SAR shall confer on the Eligible Person
          to whom it is granted a right to receive with respect to each Share
          subject thereto, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (1) the Fair
          Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise (or, if the
          Committee shall so determine in the case of any such right, the Fair
          Market Value of one Share at any time during a specified period before
          or after the date of exercise) over (2) the exercise price of the SAR
          as determined by the Committee as of the date of grant of the SAR
          (which, in the case of an SAR granted in tandem with an Option, shall
          be equal to the exercise price of the underlying Option).

          (ii)    Other Terms. The Committee shall determine, at the time of
          grant or thereafter, the time or times at which an SAR may be
          exercised in whole or in part, the method of exercise, method of
          settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, method by
          which Shares will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Eligible
          Persons, whether or not an SAR shall be in tandem with any other
          Award, and any other terms and conditions of any SAR. Unless the
          Committee determines otherwise, an SAR (1) granted in tandem with an
          NQSO may be granted at the time of grant of the related NQSO or at any
          time thereafter and (2) granted in tandem with an ISO may only be
          granted at the time of grant of the related ISO.

               (d)    Restricted Shares. The Committee is authorized to grant
Restricted Shares to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions:

          (i)     Issuance and Restrictions.  Restricted Shares shall be subject
          to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions, if
          any, as the Committee may impose at the date of grant or thereafter,
          which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such
          times, under such circumstances (including, without limitation, upon
          achievement of performance criteria if deemed appropriate by the
          Committee), in such installments, or otherwise, as the Committee may
          determine. Except to the extent restricted under the Award Agreement
          relating to the Restricted Shares, an Eligible Person granted
          Restricted Shares shall have all of the rights of a shareholder
          including, without limitation, the right to vote Restricted Shares and
          the right to receive dividends thereon. If the lapse of restrictions
          is conditioned on the achievement of performance criteria, the
          Committee shall select the criterion or criteria from the list of
          criteria set forth in Section 5(f)(i). The Committee must certify in
          writing prior to the lapse of restrictions conditioned on achievement
          of performance criteria that such performance criteria were in fact
          satisfied.

                                      -9-

          (ii)    Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee,
          at the date of grant or thereafter, upon termination of service during
          the applicable restriction period, Restricted Shares and any accrued
          but unpaid dividends or Dividend Equivalents that are at that time
          subject to restrictions shall be forfeited; provided, however, that
          the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award
          Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions
          or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Shares will be waived
          in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from
          specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole
          or in part the forfeiture of Restricted Shares.

          (iii)   Certificates for Shares. Restricted Shares granted under the
          Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine.
          If certificates representing Restricted Shares are registered in the
          name of the Eligible Person, such certificates shall bear an
          appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and
          restrictions applicable to such Restricted Shares, and the Company
          shall retain physical possession of the certificate.

          (iv)    Dividends. Dividends paid on Restricted Shares shall be either
          paid at the dividend payment date, or deferred for payment to such
          date as determined by the Committee, in cash or in unrestricted Shares
          having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends.
          Shares distributed in connection with a Share split or dividend in
          Shares, and other property distributed as a dividend, shall be subject
          to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the
          Restricted Shares with respect to which such Shares or other property
          has been distributed.

          (v)     Early Exercise Options. The Committee shall award Restricted
          Shares to a Participant upon the Participant's early exercise of an
          Option under Section 5(b)(iv) hereof. Unless otherwise determined by
          the Committee, the lapse of restrictions with respect to such
          Restricted Shares shall occur on the same schedule as the vesting of
          the Option for which the Restricted Shares were exercised.

               (e)    Restricted Share Units.  The Committee is authorized to
grant Restricted Share Units to Eligible Persons, subject to the following terms
and conditions:

          (i)     Award and Restrictions.  Delivery of Shares or cash, as the
          case may be, will occur upon expiration of the deferral period
          specified for Restricted Share Units by the Committee (or, if
          permitted by the Committee, as elected by the Eligible Person). In
          addition, Restricted Share Units shall be subject to such restrictions
          as the Committee may impose, if any (includ-

                                      -10-

          ing, without limitation, the achievement of performance criteria if
          deemed appropriate by the Committee), at the date of grant or
          thereafter, which restrictions may lapse at the expiration of the
          deferral period or at earlier or later specified times, separately or
          in combination, in installments or otherwise, as the Committee may
          determine. If the lapse of restrictions is conditioned on the
          achievement of performance criteria, the Committee shall select the
          criterion or criteria from the list of criteria set forth in Section
          5(f)(i). The Committee must certify in writing prior to the lapse of
          restrictions conditioned on the achievement of performance criteria
          that such performance criteria were in fact satisfied.

          (ii)   Forfeiture.  Except as otherwise determined by the Committee a
          t date of grant or thereafter, upon termination of service (as
          determined under criteria established by the Committee) during the
          applicable deferral period or portion thereof to which forfeiture
          conditions apply (as provided in the Award Agreement evidencing the
          Restricted Share Units), or upon failure to satisfy any other
          conditions precedent to the delivery of Shares or cash to which such
          Restricted Share Units relate, all Restricted Share Units that are at
          that time subject to deferral or restriction shall be forfeited;
          provided, however, that the Committee may provide, by rule or
          regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any
          individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating
          to Restricted Share Units will be waived in whole or in part in the
          event of termination resulting from specified causes, and the
          Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture
          of Restricted Share Units.

               (f)    Performance Shares and Performance Units.  The Committee
is authorized to grant Performance Shares or Performance Units or both to
Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions:

          (i)     Performance Period.  The Committee shall determine a
          performance period (the "Performance Period") of one or more years and
          shall determine the performance objectives for grants of Performance
          Shares and Performance Units. Performance objectives may vary from
          Eligible Person to Eligible Person and shall be based upon one or more
          of the following performance criteria as the Committee may deem
          appropriate: appreciation in value of the Shares; total shareholder
          return; earnings per share; operating income; net income; pro forma
          net income; return on equity; return on designated assets; return on
          capital; economic value added; earnings; earnings before interest,
          taxes, depreciation and amortization revenues; expenses; operating
          profit margin; operating cash flow; and net profit margin.

                                      -11-

          The performance objectives may be determined by reference to the
          performance of the Company, or of a Subsidiary or Affiliate, or of a
          division or unit of any of the foregoing. Performance Periods may
          overlap and Eligible Persons may participate simultaneously with
          respect to Performance Shares and Performance Units for which
          different Performance Periods are prescribed.

          (ii)    Award Value. At the beginning of a Performance Period, the
          Committee shall determine for each Eligible Person or group of
          Eligible Persons with respect to that Performance Period the range of
          number of Shares, if any, in the case of Performance Shares, and the
          range of dollar values, if any, in the case of Performance Units,
          which may be fixed or may vary in accordance with such performance or
          other criteria specified by the Committee, which shall be paid to an
          Eligible Person as an Award if the relevant measure of Company
          performance for the Performance Period is met. The Committee must
          certify in writing that the applicable performance criteria were
          satisfied prior to payment under any Performance Shares or Performance
          Units.

          (iii)   Significant Events. If during the course of a Performance
          Period there shall occur significant events as determined by the
          Committee which the Committee expects to have a substantial effect on
          a performance objective during such period, the Committee may revise
          such objective.

          (iv)    Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee,
          at the date of grant or thereafter, upon termination of service during
          the applicable Performance Period, Performance Shares and Performance
          Units for which the Performance Period was prescribed shall be
          forfeited; provided, however, that the Committee may provide, by rule
          or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in an
          individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating
          to Performance Shares and Performance Units will be waived in whole or
          in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes,
          and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part the
          forfeiture of Performance Shares and Performance Units.

          (v)     Payment. Each Performance Share or Performance Unit may be
          paid in whole Shares, or cash, or a combination of Shares and cash
          either as a lump sum payment or in installments, all as the Committee
          shall determine, at the time of grant of the Performance Share or
          Performance Unit or otherwise, commencing as soon as practicable after
          the end of the relevant Performance Period. The Committee must certify
          in writing prior to the

                                      -12-

          payment of any Performance Share or Performance Unit that the
          performance objectives and any other material terms were in fact
          satisfied.

               (g)    Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to grant
Dividend Equivalents to Eligible Persons. The Committee may provide, at the date
of grant or thereafter, that Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed
when accrued or shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares, or
other investment vehicles as the Committee may specify, provided that Dividend
Equivalents (other than freestanding Dividend Equivalents) shall be subject to
all conditions and restrictions of the underlying Awards to which they relate.

               (h)    Other Share-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized,
subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Eligible Persons such
other Awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part
by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Shares, as deemed by the
Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including, without
limitation, unrestricted shares awarded purely as a "bonus" and not subject to
any restrictions or conditions, other rights convertible or exchangeable into
Shares, purchase rights for Shares, Awards with value and payment contingent
upon performance of the Company or any other factors designated by the
Committee, and Awards valued by reference to the performance of specified
Subsidiaries or Affiliates. The Committee shall determine the terms and
conditions of such Awards at date of grant or thereafter. Shares delivered
pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this
Section 5(h) shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times,
by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares,
notes or other property, as the Committee shall determine. Cash awards, as an
element of or supplement to any other Award under the Plan, shall also be
authorized pursuant to this Section 5(h).

               6.     Certain Provisions Applicable to Awards.
                      ----------------------------------------

               (a)    Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem and Substitute Awards.
Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be
granted to Eligible Persons either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or
in exchange or substitution for, any other Award granted under the Plan or any
award granted under any other plan or agreement of the Company, any Subsidiary
or Affiliate, or any business entity to be acquired by the Company or a
Subsidiary or Affiliate, or any other right of an Eligible Person to receive
payment from the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate. Awards may be granted
in addition to or in tandem with such other Awards or awards, and may be granted
either as of the same time as or a different time from the grant of such other
Awards or awards. The per Share exercise price of any Option, grant price of any
SAR, or purchase price of any other Award conferring a right to purchase Shares
which is granted, in connection with the substitution of awards granted under
any other plan or

                                      -13-

agreement of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate or any business entity
to be acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be
determined by the Committee, in its discretion.

               (b)    Terms of Awards. The term of each Award granted to an
Eligible Person shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee;
provided, however, that in no event shall the term of any ISO or an SAR granted
in tandem therewith exceed a period of ten years from the date of its grant (or
such shorter period as may be applicable under Section 422 of the Code).

               (c)    Form of Payment Under Awards. Subject to the terms of the
Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, payments to be made by the Company or a
Subsidiary or Affiliate upon the grant, maturation, or exercise of an Award may
be made in such forms as the Committee shall determine at the date of grant or
thereafter, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, notes or other
property, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or
on a deferred basis. The Committee may make rules relating to installment or
deferred payments with respect to Awards, including the rate of interest to be
credited with respect to such payments.

               (d)    Nontransferability. Unless otherwise set forth by the
Committee in an Award Agreement, Awards shall not be transferable by an Eligible
Person except by will or the laws of descent and distribution (except pursuant
to a Beneficiary designation) and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of an
Eligible Person only by such Eligible Person or his guardian or legal
representative. An Eligible Person's rights under the Plan may not be pledged,
mortgaged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered, and shall not be subject to
claims of the Eligible Person's creditors.

               (e)    Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation. The Committee may, by way
of the Award Agreements or otherwise, establish such other terms, conditions,
restrictions and/or limitations, if any, on any Award, provided they are not
inconsistent with the Plan, including, without limitation, the requirement that
the Participant not, directly or indirectly, engage in competition with, or
solicit or cause to be solicited employees or customers of, the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate.

               7.     General Provisions.
                      -------------------

               (a)    Compliance with Legal and Trading Requirements. The Plan,
the granting and exercising of Awards thereunder, and the other obligations of
the Company under the Plan and any Award Agreement, shall be subject to all
applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals
by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. The Company, in its
discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of Shares under any Award
until completion of such stock exchange or market

                                      -14-

system listing or registration or qualification of such Shares or other required
action under any state or federal law, rule or regulation as the Company may
consider appropriate, and may require any Participant to make such
representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in
connection with the issuance or delivery of Shares in compliance with applicable
laws, rules and regulations. No provisions of the Plan shall be interpreted or
construed to obligate the Company to register any Shares under federal or state
law. The Shares issued under the Plan may be subject to such other restrictions
on transfer as determined by the Committee.

               (b)    No Right to Continued Employment or Service. Neither the
Plan nor any action taken thereunder shall be construed as giving any employee,
consultant or director the right to be retained in the employ or service of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, nor shall it interfere in any
way with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to
terminate any employee's, consultant's or director's employment or service at
any time.

               (c)    Taxes. The Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate is
authorized to withhold from any Award granted, any payment relating to an Award
under the Plan, including from a distribution of Shares, or any payroll or other
payment to an Eligible Person, amounts of withholding and other taxes due in
connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other
action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company and Eligible
Persons to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other
tax obligations relating to any Award. This authority shall include authority to
withhold or receive Shares or other property and to make cash payments in
respect thereof in satisfaction of an Eligible Person's tax obligations.

               (d)    Changes to the Plan and Awards. The Board may amend,
alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or the Committee's authority
to grant Awards under the Plan without the consent of shareholders of the
Company or Participants, except that any such amendment or alteration as it
applies to ISOs shall be subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders
to the extent such shareholder approval is required under Section 422 of the
Code; provided, however, that, without the consent of an affected Participant,
no amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation, or termination of the
Plan may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under
any Award theretofore granted to him or her. The Committee may waive any
conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or amend, alter, suspend,
discontinue or terminate, any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or
retrospectively; provided, however, that, without the consent of a Participant,
no amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination of any
Award may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under
any Award theretofore granted to him or her.

                                      -15-

               (e)    No Rights to Awards; No Shareholder Rights. No Eligible
Person or employee shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan,
and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Eligible Persons and
employees. No Award shall confer on any Eligible Person any of the rights of a
shareholder of the Company unless and until Shares are duly issued or
transferred to the Eligible Person in accordance with the terms of the Award.

               (f)    Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to
constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any
payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained
in the Plan or any Award shall give any such Participant any rights that are
greater than those of a general creditor of the Company; provided, however, that
the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or make other arrangements to
meet the Company's obligations under the Plan to deliver cash, Shares, other
Awards, or other property pursuant to any Award, which trusts or other
arrangements shall be consistent with the "unfunded" status of the Plan unless
the Committee otherwise determines with the consent of each affected
Participant.

               (g)    Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the
Plan by the Board nor its submission to the shareholders of the Company for
approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the
Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable,
including, without limitation, the granting of options and other awards
otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable
generally or only in specific cases.

               (h)    Not Compensation for Benefit Plans. No Award payable under
this Plan shall be deemed salary or compensation for the purpose of computing
benefits under any benefit plan or other arrangement of the Company for the
benefit of its employees, consultants or directors unless the Company shall
determine otherwise.

               (i)    No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued
or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine
whether cash, other Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of
such fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto
shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

               (j)    Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of
the Plan, any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and any Award
Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of Delaware without
giving effect to principles of conflict of laws thereof.

               (k)    Effective Date; Plan Termination. The Plan shall become
effective as of June 6, 2002 (the "Effective Date"). The Plan shall terminate as
to future awards on

                                      -16-

the date which is ten (10) years after the Effective Date. Termination of the
Plan shall not affect Awards granted prior to such termination.

               (l)    Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the
sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only. In the event of any
conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall
control.
