      ALLIANCE
RECOVERY CORPORATION

      1000 N.W.
St.

      Suite
1200

      Wilmington,
DE 19801

      Attention:
Chief Executive Officer

      


      5.    Options. The
Committee may grant Options to eligible persons and shall determine whether such
Options shall be Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of the Code (“ISO”)
or Nonqualified Stock Options (“NQSO”), the number of Shares subject to the
Option, the Exercise Price of the Option, the period during which the Option may
be exercised, and all other terms and conditions of the Option, subject to the
following:

      


      5.1  Form of Option Grant.
Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement
which shall expressly identify the Option as an ISO or NQSO (“Stock Option
Agreement”), and be in such form and contain such provisions (which need not be
the same for each Participant) as the Committee shall from time to time approve,
and which shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan.

      


      5.2  Date of Grant. The
date of grant of an Option shall be the date on which the Committee makes the
determination to grant such Option, unless otherwise specified by the Committee.
The Stock Option Agreement and a copy of the Plan will be delivered to the
Participant within a reasonable time after the granting of the
Option.

      


      5.3  Exercise Period.
Options shall be exercisable within the times or upon the events determined by
the Committee as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement; provided, however,
that no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from
the date the Option is granted, and provided further that no Option granted to a
person who directly or by attribution owns more than ten percent (10%) of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent
or Subsidiary of the Company (“Ten Percent Shareholder”) shall be exercisable
after the expiration of five (5) years from the date the Option is granted. The
Committee also may provide for the Options to become exercisable at one time or
from time to time, periodically or otherwise, in such number or percentage as
the Committee determines.

       

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          3

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      
 

      5.4  Exercise Price. The
Exercise Price shall be determined by the Committee when the Option is granted
and may be not less than the par value of a Share on the date of grant provided
that: (i) the Exercise Price of an ISO shall be not less than one hundred
percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant; (ii)
the Exercise Price of any ISO granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder shall not be
less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares
on the date of grant; and (iii) the Exercise Price of any option granted that
the Committee intends to qualify under Section 162(m) of the Code, shall not be
less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on
the date of grant. Payment for the Shares purchased may be made in accordance
with Section 7 of the Plan.

      


      5.5  Method of Exercise.
Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company of a written stock
option exercise agreement (the “Exercise Agreement”) in a form approved by the
Committee (which need not be the same for each Participant), stating the number
of Shares being purchased, the restrictions imposed on the Shares, if any, and
such representations and agreements regarding Participant’s investment intent
and access to information and other matters, if any, as may be required or
desirable by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws, together
with payment in full of the Exercise Price for the number of Shares being
purchased.

      


      5.6  Termination. Unless
otherwise set forth in the Stock Option Agreement, the exercise of an Option
shall be subject to the following:

      


      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (a)
      If the Participant is Terminated for any reason except death or
      Disability, then Participant may exercise such Participant’s Options only
      to the extent that such Options would have been exercisable upon the
      Termination Date no later than three (3) months after the Termination Date
      (or such shorter time period as may be specified in the Stock Option
      Agreement), but in any event, no later than the expiration date of the
      Options.

              


      

      


      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (b)
      If the Participant is terminated because of death or Disability (or the
      Participant dies within three (3) months of such termination), then
      Participant’s Options may be exercised only to the extent that such
      Options would have been exercisable by Participant on the Termination Date
      and must be exercised by Participant (or Participant’s legal
      representative or authorized assignee) no later than twelve (12) months
      after the Termination Date (or such shorter time period as may be
      specified in the Stock Option Agreement), but in any event no later than
      the expiration date of the Options; provided, however, that in the event
      of termination due to Disability other than as defined in Section 22(e)(3)
      of the Code, any ISO that remains exercisable after ninety (90) days after
      the date of termination shall be deemed a
NQSO.

              


      

      


       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          4

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      5.7  Limitations on
Exercise. The Committee may specify a reasonable minimum number of Shares
that may be purchased on any exercise of an Option, provided that such minimum
number will not prevent Participant from exercising the Option for the full
number of Shares for which it is then exercisable.

       

      5.8  Modification, Extension or
Renewal. The Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options
and authorize the grant of new Options in substitution therefore, provided that
any such action may not without the written consent of Participant, impair any
of Participant’s rights under any Option previously granted. Any outstanding ISO
that is modified, extended, renewed or otherwise altered shall be treated in
accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code. The Committee may reduce the
Exercise Price of outstanding Options without the consent of Participants
affected by a written notice to them; provided, however, that the Exercise Price
may not be reduced below the minimum Exercise Price that would be permitted
under Section 5.4 of the Plan for Options granted on the date the action is
taken to reduce the Exercise Price.

      


      5.9  No Disqualification.
Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, no term of the Plan relating to
ISOs shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or
authority granted under the Plan be exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan
under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of the Participant
affected, to disqualify any ISO under Section 422 of the Code.

      


      6.    Restricted Stock. A
Restricted Stock Award is an offer by the Company to sell to an eligible person
Shares that are subject to restrictions. The Committee shall determine to whom
an offer will be made, the number of Shares the person may purchase, the price
to be paid (the “Purchase Price”), the restrictions to which the Shares shall be
subject, and all other terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Award,
subject to the following:

      


      6.1  Form of Restricted Stock
Award. All purchases under a Restricted Stock Award made pursuant to the
Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (“Restricted Stock Purchase
Agreement”) that shall be in such form (which need not be the same for each
Participant) as the Committee, shall from time to time approve, and shall comply
with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The offer of
Restricted Stock shall be accepted by the Participant’s execution and delivery
of the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement and full payment for the shares to
the Company within thirty (30) days from the date the Restricted Stock Purchase
Agreement is delivered to the person. If such person does not execute and
deliver the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement along with full payment for the
Shares to the Company within thirty (30) days, then the offer shall terminate,
unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

      


      6.2  Purchase Price. The
Purchase Price of Shares sold pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award shall be
determined by the Committee on the date the Restricted Stock Award is granted
but shall in no event less than the par value of the Shares. Payment of the
Purchase Price may be made in accordance with Section 7 of the
Plan.

       

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          5

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      
 

      6.3  Restrictions.
Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee
may impose. The Committee may provide for the lapse of such restrictions in
installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions, in whole or in part,
based on length of service, performance or such other factors or criteria as the
Committee may determine. Restricted Stock Awards that the Committee intends to
qualify under Code section 162(m) shall be subject to a performance-based goal.
Restrictions on such stock shall lapse based on one (1) or more of the following
performance goals: stock price, market share, sales increases, earning per
share, return on equity, cost reductions, or any other similar performance
measure established by the Committee. Such performance measures shall be
established by the Committee, in writing, no later than the earlier of: (a)
ninety (90) days after the commencement of the performance period with respect
to which the Restricted Stock award is made; and (b) the date as of which
twenty-five percent (25%) of such performance period has elapsed.

      


      7.    Payment For Share

      7.1  Payment. Payment for

      Rule 144; or (2) were obtained by Participant in the public
      market;

      Option, (3) bear interest at the prime rate of the Company’s principal

          6

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      Where:

      X = the
number of Shares to be issued to Optionee.

      Y = the
number of Shares purchasable under the amount of the Option being

                (1)
      through a “same day sale” commitment from Participant and a broker-dealer
      that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an
      “NASD Dealer”) whereby the Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the
      Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the
      Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon
      receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the
      Company; or

              


      

      


      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (2)
      through a “margin” commitment from Participant and an NASD Dealer whereby
      Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the
      Shares so purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for
      a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price, and
      whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to
      forward the exercise price directly to the Company;
  or

              


      

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                 

              	
                

                  (h)
      by any combination of the
foregoing.

                

              


      

      


      If the
Exercise Price or purchase price is paid in whole or in part with Shares, or
through the withholding of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option, the
value of the Shares surrendered or withheld shall be their Fair Market Value on
the date the Option is exercised.

      


      8.    Withholding
Taxes.

      


      8.1  Withholding
Generally. Whenever Shares are to be issued in satisfaction of Awards
granted under the Plan, the Company may require the Participant to remit to the
Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax
requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate or certificates for such
Shares. Whenever, under the Plan, payments in satisfaction of Awards are to be
made in cash, such payment shall be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy
federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements

       

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          7

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

       

      8.2  Stock Withholding.
When, under applicable tax laws, a Participant incurs tax liability in
connection with the exercise or vesting of any Award that is subject to tax
withholding and the Participant is obligated to pay the Company the amount
required to be withheld, the Committee may allow the Participant to satisfy the
minimum withholding tax obligation by electing to have the Company withhold from
the Shares to be issued that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal
to the minimum amount required to be withheld, determined on the date that the
amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the “Tax Date”). All elections
by a Participant to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in
writing in a form acceptable to the Committee and shall be subject to the
following restrictions:

      


      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (a)
      the election must be made on or prior to the applicable Tax
      Date;

              


      

      


      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (b)
      once made, then except as provided below, the election shall be
      irrevocable as to the particular Shares as to which the election is
      made;

              


      

      


      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (c)
      all elections shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of
      the         Committee;

              


      

      


      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (d)
      if the Participant is an Insider and if the Company is subject to Section
      1 6(b) of the Exchange Act: (1) the election may not be made within six
      (6) months of the date of grant of the Award, except as otherwise
      permitted by SEC Rule 1 6b-3(e) under the Exchange Act, and (2) either (A)
      the election to use stock withholding must be irrevocably made at least
      six (6) months prior to the Tax Date (although such election may be
      revoked at any time at least six (6) months prior to the Tax Date) or (B)
      the exercise of the Option or election to use stock withholding must be
      made in the ten (10) day period beginning on the third day following the
      release of the Company’s quarterly or annual summary statement of sales or
      earnings; and

              


      

      


      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (e)
      in the event that the Tax Date is deferred until six (6) months after the
      delivery of Shares under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Participant shall
      receive the full number of Shares with respect to which the exercise
      occurs, but such Participant shall be unconditionally obligated to tender
      back to the Company the proper number of Shares on the Tax
      Date.

              


      

      


       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          8

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      9.           
Privileges of Stock
Ownership. No Participant shall have any of the rights of a shareholder
with respect to any Shares until the Shares are issued to the Participant. After
Shares are issued to the Participant, the Participant shall be a shareholder and
have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to such Shares, including the
right to vote and receive all dividends or other distributions made or paid with
respect to such Shares; provided, that if such Shares are Restricted Stock, then
any new, additional or different securities the Participant may become entitled
to receive with respect to such Shares by virtue of a stock dividend, stock
split or any other change in the corporate or capital structure of the Company
shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock.

      


      10.           Transferability.
Awards granted under the Plan, and any interest therein, shall not be
transferable or assignable by Participant, and may not be made subject to
execution, attachment or similar process, otherwise than by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution or as consistent with the specific Plan and Award
Agreement provisions relating thereto. During the lifetime of the Participant an
Award shall be exercisable only by the Participant, and any elections with
respect to an Award, may be made only by the Participant.

      


      11.           Restrictions on
Shares. At the discretion of the Committee, the Company may reserve to
itself and/or its assignee(s) in the Award Agreement a right of first refusal to
purchase all Shares that a Participant (or a subsequent transferee) may propose
to transfer to a third party.

      


      12.           Certificates. All
certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan shall be
subject to such stock transfer orders, legends and other restrictions as the
Committee may deem necessary or advisable, including restrictions under any
applicable federal, state or foreign securities law, or any rules, regulations
and other requirements of the SEC or any stock exchange or automated quotation
system upon which the Shares may be listed.

      


      13.    Escrow; Pledge of
Shares. To enforce any restrictions on a Participant’s Shares, the
Committee may require the Participant to deposit all certificates representing
Shares, together with stock powers or other instruments of transfer approved by
the Committee, appropriately endorsed in blank, with the Company or an agent
designated by the Company to hold in escrow until such restrictions have lapsed
or terminated, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends referencing such
restrictions to be placed on the certificates.

      


      14.    Exchange and Buy out of
Awards. The Committee, may, at any time or from time to time, authorize
the Company, with the consent of the respective Participants, to issue new
Awards in exchange for the

      
        	
                13.  

              	 


      

      


      surrender
and cancellation of any or all outstanding Awards. The Company may at any time
buy from a Participant an Award previously granted with payment in cash, Shares
(including Restricted Stock) or other consideration, based on such terms and
conditions as the Company and the Participant shall agree.

       

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          9

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      
 

      15.    Securities Law and Other
Regulatory Compliance. An Award shall not be effective unless such Award
is in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, rules
and regulations of any governmental body, and the requirements of any stock
exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may then be listed,
as they are in effect on the date of grant of the Award and also on the date of
exercise or other Issuance. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, the
Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver certificates for Shares
under the Plan prior to: (a) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies
that the Company determines are necessary or advisable, and/or (b) completion of
any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or
federal law or ruling of any governmental body that the Company determines to be
necessary or advisable. The Company shall be under no obligation to register the
Shares with the SEC or to effect compliance with the registration, qualification
or listing requirements of any state securities laws, stock exchange or
automated quotation system, and the Company shall have no liability for any
inability or failure to do so.

      


      16.    No Obligation to
Employ. Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall
confer or be deemed to confer on any Participant any right to continue in the
employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any
Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or limit in any way the right of
the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company to terminate
Participant’s employment or other relationship at any time, with or without
cause.

      


      17.    Corporate
Transactions.

      


      17.1  Assumption or Replacement of
Awards by Successor. In the event of (a) a merger or consolidation in
which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger or
consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company
in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in which there is no
substantial change in the shareholders of the company and the Awards granted
under the Plan are assumed or replaced by the successor corporation, which
assumption shall be binding on all Participants); (b) a dissolution or
liquidation of the Company; (c) the sale of substantially all of the assets of
the Company; or (d) any other transaction which qualifies as a “corporate
transaction” under Section 424(a) of the Code wherein the shareholders of the
Company give up all of their equity interest in the Company (except for the
acquisition, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the outstanding
shares of the Company), all outstanding Awards may, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be replaced by the successor corporation (if any) with Awards of
equivalent value, which replacement shall be binding on all Participants. In the
alternative, substantially similar consideration may be provided to Participants
as was provided to shareholders (after taking into account the existing
provisions of the Awards). The successor corporation may also issue, in place of
outstanding Shares of the Company held by the Participant, substantially similar
shares or other property subject to repurchase restrictions no less favorable to
the Participant.

       

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          10

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      
 

      17.2  Other Treatment of
Awards. Subject to any greater rights granted to Participants under the
foregoing provisions of this Section 17, in the event of the occurrence of any
transaction described in Section 17.1, any outstanding Awards shall be treated
as provided in the applicable agreement or plan of merger, consolidation,
dissolution, liquidation, sale of assets or other “corporate
transaction.”

      


      17.3  Assumption of Awards by the
Company. The Company, from time to time, also may grant Awards identical
to awards granted by another company, whether in connection with an acquisition
of such other company or otherwise, by granting an Award under the Plan in
replacement of such other company’s award. Such replacement shall be permissible
if the holder of the replaced award would have been eligible to be granted an
Award under the Plan if the other company had applied the rules of the Plan to
such grant. In the event the Company grants Awards identical to an award granted
by another company, the terms and conditions of such award shall remain
unchanged (except that the exercise price and the number and nature of Shares
issuable upon exercise of any such option will be adjusted approximately
pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Code).

      


      18.           Adoption and Shareholder
Approval. The Plan shall become effective on the date that it is adopted
by the Board (the “Effective Date”). The Plan shall be approved by the
shareholders of the Company (excluding Shares issued pursuant to this Plan),
consistent with applicable laws, within twelve months before or after the
Effective Date. Upon the Effective Date, the Committee may grant Awards pursuant
to the Plan; provided, however, that: (a) no Option may be exercised prior to
initial shareholder approval of the Plan; (b) no Option granted pursuant to an
increase in the number of Shares approved by the Board shall be exercised prior
to the time such increase has been approved by the shareholders of the Company;
and in the event that shareholder approval is not obtained within the time
period provided herein, all Awards granted hereunder shall be canceled, any
Shares issued pursuant to any Award shall be canceled and any purchase of Shares
hereunder shall be rescinded. After the Company becomes subject to Section 16(b)
of the Exchange Act, the Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3
(or its successor), as amended, with respect to shareholder
approval.

       

      19.           Term of Plan. The
Plan will terminate ten (10) years from the Effective Date or, if earlier, the
date of shareholder approval of the Plan.

      


      20.           Amendment or Termination of
Plan. The Board may at any time terminate or amend the Plan in any
respect, including without limitation amendment of any form of Award Agreement
or instrument to be executed pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that: (a)
the Board shall not, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company,
amend the Plan in any manner that requires such shareholder approval pursuant to
the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder as such provisions apply to
ISO plans or pursuant to the Exchange Act or Rule 16b-3 (or its successor), as
amended, thereunder; and (b) no outstanding Award shall be deemed effected by
such amendment without the advance written consent of the Participant(s) holding
such outstanding Award(s) at the time of the proposed termination or
amendment.

      21.    Nonexclusivity of the Plan.
Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board, the submission of the Plan
to the shareholders of the Company for approval, nor any provision of the Plan
shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to
adopt such additional compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable,
including, without limitation, the granting of stock options and bonuses
otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally
applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this compensation income
