member of the Board on November 17, 1993, received an Option covering 8,000
Common Shares on November 18, 1993.   Each Independent Director who first joins

of Common Shares issued under the Plan shall be payable in cash when such Common
Shares are purchased, except as follows:

                           (i)         Payment may be made with Common Shares
that have already been owned by the Optionee for more than six months and that
are surrendered to the Company in good form for transfer or by foregoing the
right to receive Common Shares whose Fair Market Value equals the Exercise
Price.  Such Common Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the
date when the new Common Shares are purchased under the Plan.

                        (ii)           Payment may be made by the delivery (on a
form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities
broker approved by the Company to sell Common Shares and to deliver all or part
of the sales proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the Exercise
Price and any withholding taxes.

a loan and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company in payment
of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes.

          (e)        Vesting.  Subject to Subsection (j) below, each Option
shall become exercisable in two equal annual installments on each of the first
two anniversaries of the date of grant.  In addition, subject to Subsection (j)
below, each Option shall become exercisable in full in the event that:

                          (i)          The Optionee's Service terminates because
of Retirement, death or Total and Permanent Disability; or

                        (ii)           A Change in Control occurs with respect
to the Company.

          (f)         Term of Options.  Subject to Subsections (g) and (h)
below, each Option shall expire on the 10th anniversary of the date when such
Option was granted.

          (g)        Termination of Service (Except by Death).  If an Optionee's
Service terminates for any reason other than death, then his or her Options
shall expire on the earliest of the following occasions:

                         (i)           The expiration date determined pursuant
to Subsection (f) above;

                        (ii)           The date three months after the
termination of the Optionee's Service for any reason other than Retirement or
Total and Permanent Disability.

          The Optionee may exercise all or part of his or her Options at any
time before the expiration of such Options under the preceding sentence, but
only to the extent that such Options had become exercisable before his or her
Service terminated or became exercisable as a result of the termination.  The
balance of such Options shall lapse when the Optionee's Service terminates.  In
the event that the Optionee dies after the termination of his or her Service but
before the expiration of his or her Options, all or part of such Options may be
exercised at any time within 12 months after the date of death by the executors
or administrators of the Optionee's estate or by any person who has acquired
such Options directly from him or her by bequest, inheritance or beneficiary
designation under the Plan, but only to the extent that such Options had become
exercisable before his or her Service terminated or became exercisable as a
result of the termination.

          (h)        Death of Optionee.  If an Optionee dies while he or she is
in Service, then his or her Options shall expire on the earlier of the following
dates:

                          (i)          The expiration date determined pursuant
to Subsection (f) above; or

                        (ii) The date 12 months after his or her death.

          All or part of the Optionee's Options may be exercised at any time
before the expiration of such Options under the preceding sentence by the
executors or administrators of his or her estate or by any person who has
acquired such Options directly from him or her by bequest, inheritance or
beneficiary designation under the Plan.

          (i)         Nontransferability.  During an Optionee's lifetime, his or
her Options shall be exercisable only by him or her and shall be
nontransferable.  In the event of an Optionee's death, his or her Options shall
not be transferable other than by bequest, inheritance or beneficiary
designation under the Plan.

          (j)         Stockholder Approval.  Subsection (e) above
notwithstanding, no Option shall be exercisable under any circumstances unless
and until the Company's stockholders have approved the Plan.

SECTION 6.       MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

          (a)        No Rights as a Stockholder.  An Optionee, or a transferee
of an Optionee, shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Common
Shares covered by his or her Option until the date of the issuance of a stock
certificate for such Common Shares.  No adjustment shall be made except as
provided in Section 7.

          (b)        Restrictions on Issuance of Shares.  Common Shares shall
not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Common
Shares complies with (or is exempt from) all applicable requirements of law,
including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations,
and the regulations of any stock exchange on which the Company's securities may
then be listed.  The Company may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or
other transfer of such Common Shares (including the placement of appropriate
legends on stock certificates) if, in the judgment of the Company and its
counsel, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve
compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
securities laws of any state or any other law.

          (c)        Withholding Taxes.  The Company's obligation to deliver
Common Shares upon the exercise of an Option shall be subject to any applicable
tax withholding requirements.  To the extent permissible under applicable tax,
securities and other laws, the Company may, in its sole discretion, permit the
Optionee to satisfy a tax withholding requirement by directing the Company to
apply Common Shares to which the Optionee is entitled as a result

of the exercise of an Option to satisfy such requirement.

          (d)        No Retention Rights.  No provision of the Plan, nor any
Option granted under the Plan, shall be construed as giving any person the right
to be elected as, or to be nominated for election as, an Independent Director or
to remain an Independent Director.

SECTION 7.       ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.

          (a)        General.  In the event of any change in the Common Shares
that occurs after the Plan becomes effective by reason of a stock dividend or
split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares,
or other similar corporate change, the aggregate number of shares subject to
each outstanding Option, and its stated Option price, shall be adjusted
appropriately by the Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive.

          (b)        Reorganizations.  In the event that the Company is a party
to a merger or other reorganization, outstanding Options shall be subject to the
agreement of merger or reorganization.  Such agreement may provide, without
limitation, for the assumption of outstanding Options by the surviving
corporation or its parent, for their continuation by the Company (if the Company
is a surviving corporation), for accelerated vesting or for settlement in cash.

          (c)        Reservation of Rights.  Except as provided in this Section
7, an Optionee shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or
consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend
or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any
class.  Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or
Exercise Price of Common Shares subject to an Option.  The grant of an Option
pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the
Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of
its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve,
liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

SECTION 8.       DURATION AND AMENDMENTS.

          (a)        Term of the Plan.  The Plan, as set forth herein, shall
become effective on November 17, 1993 if approved by the Company's
stockholders.  The Plan shall remain in effect until it is terminated under
Subsection (b) below.

          (b)        Right to Amend or Terminate the Plan.  The Board may amend,
suspend or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason, except that the
provisions of the Plan relating to the amount, price and timing of Option grants
shall not be amended more than once in any six-month period.  Any amendment of
the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders to the
extent required by applicable laws, regulations or rules (including, without
limitation, Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act).

          (c)        Effect of Amendment or Termination.  No Common Shares shall
be issued or sold under the Plan after the termination thereof, except upon
exercise of an Option granted prior to such termination.  The termination of the
Plan, or any amendment thereof, shall not affect any Option previously granted
under the Plan.
