      shall be two million fifteen thousand (2,015,000) shares of Stock. In the event
      that awards are granted in tandem such that the exercise of one award precludes
      the exercise of another award then, for the purpose of determining the number
      of
      shares of Stock as to which awards shall have been granted, the maximum number
      of shares of Stock issuable pursuant to such tandem awards shall be
      used.




(b)  Subject
      to Section 6(b)(v) of the Plan, if any shares of Stock that have been optioned
      cease to be subject to a Stock Option, or if any such shares of Stock that
      are
      subject to any Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock award, Stock Purchase Right
      or
      Other Stock-Based Award granted under the Plan are forfeited or any such award
      otherwise terminates without a payment being made to the participant in the
      form
      of Stock, such shares shall again be available for distribution in connection
      with future awards under the Plan.




(c)  In
      the
      event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock
      dividend, stock split, stock distribution, reverse split, combination of shares
      or other change in corporate structure affecting the Stock, such substitution
      or
      adjustment shall be made in the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance
      under the Plan, in the base number of shares, in the number and option price
      of
      shares subject to outstanding Options granted under the Plan, in the number
      and
      purchase price of shares subject to outstanding Stock Purchase Rights under
      the

      under the Plan as may be determined to be appropriate by the Committee, in
      its
      sole discretion, provided that the number of shares subject to any award shall
      always be a whole number, and provided that the treatment of such options and
      rights shall be consistent with the nature of the event. Such adjusted option
      price shall also be used to determine the amount payable by the Company upon
      the
      exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right associated with any Stock
      Option.

      Non-Qualified Stock Option to purchase five thousand (5,000) shares of Stock
      (or
      such lesser number of shares of Stock as remain available for grant at such

      under the Plan, divided by the number of Independent Directors at such date).
      Such Stock Options shall be exercisable at a price per share equal to the
      greater of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant or the par value of one
      share of Stock. The Non-Qualified Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section
      4(b) and pursuant to Section 4(c) of the Plan shall become exercisable
      cumulatively as to fifty percent (50%) of the shares subject thereto six months
      from the date of grant and as to the remaining fifty percent (50%), eighteen
      months from the date of grant, and shall expire on the earlier of (i) five

      of
      this Section 4(b) and said Section 4(c) may not be amended more than one (1)
      time in any six (6) month period other than to comply with changes in the Code
      or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) or the rules
      thereunder.




(c)  At
      the
      time an Independent Director is first elected to the Board, such person shall
      automatically be granted a Non-Qualified Stock Option to purchase thirty
      thousand (30,000) shares of Stock (or such lesser number of shares of Stock
      as
      remain available for grant at such date under the Plan, divided by the number
      of
      Independent Directors who are elected as directors at such date). Such Stock
      Options shall be exercisable at a price per share equal to the greater of the
      Fair Market Value on the date of grant or the par value of one share of Stock.




**5.**  **Stock
      Options.**




(a)  Administration .
      Stock
      Options may be granted alone, in addition to or in tandem with other awards
      granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. Any Stock
      Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Committee may from
      time to time approve. Stock Options granted under the Plan may be of two types:
      (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options. The Committee
      shall have the authority to grant to any optionee Incentive Stock Options,
      Non-Qualified Stock Options, or both types of Stock Options (in each case with
      or without Stock Appreciation Rights).




(b)  Option
      Grants .
      Options
      granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions
      and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with
      the terms of the Plan, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall deem
      desirable:




(i) Option
      Price .
      The
      option price per share of Stock purchasable under a Stock Option shall be
      determined by the Committee at the time of grant.




(ii) Option
      Term .
      The
      term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Stock Option
      shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date the Option is
      granted.




(iii) Exercisability .
      Stock
      Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms
      and
      conditions as shall be determined by the Committee at or after grant. If the
      Committee provides, in its sole discretion, that any Stock Option is exercisable
      only in installments, the Committee may waive such installment exercise
      provisions at any time at or after grant in whole or in part, based on such
      factors as the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine.




(iv) Method
      of Exercise .




(A)  Subject
      to whatever installment exercise provisions apply under Section 5(b)(iii) of
      the
      Plan, Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during
      the
      option period, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying
      the number of shares to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by
      payment in full of the purchase price, either by check, note or such other
      instrument, securities or property as the Committee may accept. As and to the
      extent determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at or after grant,
      payments in full or in part may also be made in the form of Stock already owned
      by the optionee or, in the case of the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option,
      Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock subject to an award hereunder (based, in
      each
      case, on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the option is exercised,
      as determined by the Committee).




-5-




(B)  If
      payment of the option exercise price of a Non-Qualified Stock Option is made
      in
      whole or in part in the form of Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock, the Stock
      issuable upon such exercise (and any replacement shares relating thereto) shall
      remain (or be) restricted or deferred, as the case may be, in accordance with
      the original terms of the Restricted Stock award or Deferred Stock award in
      question, and any additional Stock received upon the exercise shall be subject
      to the same forfeiture restrictions or deferral limitations, unless otherwise
      determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at or after
      grant.




(C)  No
      shares
      of Stock shall be issued until full payment therefor has been received by the
      Company. In the event of any exercise by note or other instrument, the shares
      of
      Stock shall not be issued until such note or other instrument shall have been
      paid in full, and the exercising optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder
      until such payment is made.




(D)  Subject
      to Section 5(b)(iv)(C) of the Plan, an optionee shall generally have the rights
      to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to shares subject
      to
      the Option when the optionee has given written notice of exercise, has paid
      in
      full for such shares, and, if requested, has given the representation described
      in Section 14(a) of the Plan.




(v) Non-Transferability
      of Options .
      No
      Stock Option shall be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will or
      by
      the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be
      exercisable, during the optionee’s lifetime, only by the optionee.




(vi) Termination
      by Death .
      Subject
      to Section 5(b)(ix) of the Plan with respect to Incentive Stock Options, if
      an
      optionee’s employment by the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate terminates
      by reason of death, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be
      exercised, to the extent such option was exercisable at the time of death or
      on
      such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine at or after grant (or
      as
      may be determined in accordance with procedures established by the Committee),
      by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the optionee
      under the will of the optionee, for a period of one year (or such other period
      as the Committee may specify at grant) from the date of such death or until
      the
      expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the
      shorter.




(vii) Termination
      by Reason of Disability or Retirement .
      Subject
      to Section 5(b)(ix) of the Plan with respect to Incentive Stock Options, if
      an
      optionee’s employment by the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate terminates
      by reason of a Disability or Normal or Early Retirement, any Stock Option held
      by such optionee may thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent
      it
      was exercisable at the time of termination or on such accelerated basis as
      the
      Committee may determine at or after grant (or as may be determined in accordance
      with procedures established by the Committee), for a period of one year (or
      such
      other period as the Committee may specify at grant) from the date of such
      termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such
      Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter; provided, however, that, if
      the
      optionee dies within such one-year period (or such other period as the Committee
      shall specify at grant), any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee
      shall thereafter be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at
      the
      time of death for a period of one year from the date of such death or until
      the
      expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the
      shorter. In the event of termination of employment by reason of Disability
      or
      Normal or Early Retirement, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after
      the
      expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of
      the
      Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock
      Option.




(viii) Other
      Termination .
      Unless
      otherwise determined by the Committee (or pursuant to procedures established
      by
      the Committee) at or after grant, if an optionee’s employment by the Company and
      any Subsidiary or Affiliate terminates for any reason other than death,
      Disability or Normal or Early Retirement, the Stock Option shall thereupon
      terminate; provided, however, that if the optionee is involuntarily terminated
      by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate without Cause, including a
      termination resulting from the Subsidiary, Affiliate or division in which the
      optionee is employed or engaged, ceasing, for any reason, to be a Subsidiary,
      Affiliate or division of the Company, such Stock Option may be exercised, to
      the
      extent otherwise exercisable on the date of termination, for a period of three
      months (or seven months in the case of a person subject to the reporting and
      short-swing profit provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act) from the date
      of such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock
      Option, whichever is shorter.

(ix)
      Incentive Stock Options.




(A)  Anything
      in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term of the Plan relating to
      Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall
      any
      discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to
      disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code, or, without the consent
      of
      the optionee(s) affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under such
      Section 422.




(B)  To
      the
      extent required for “incentive stock option” status under Section 422(d) of the
      Code (taking into account applicable Treasury regulations and pronouncements),
      the Plan shall be deemed to provide that the aggregate Fair Market Value
      (determined as of the time of grant) of the Stock with respect to which
      Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the optionee
      during any calendar year under the Plan and/or any other stock option plan
      of
      the Company or any Subsidiary or parent corporation (within the meaning of
      Section 425 of the Code) shall not exceed $100,000. If Section 422 is hereafter
      amended to delete the requirement now in Section 422(d) that the plan text
      expressly provide for the $100,000 limitation set forth in Section 422(d),
      then
      this Section 5(b)(ix)(B) shall no longer be operative and the Committee may
      accelerate the dates on which the incentive stock option may be
      exercised.




(C)  To
      the
      extent permitted under Section 422 of the Code or the applicable regulations
      thereunder or any applicable Internal Revenue Service
      pronouncement:




(I) If
      (x) a
      participant’s employment is terminated by reason of death, Disability or
      Retirement and (y) the portion of any Incentive Stock Option that is otherwise
      exercisable during the post-termination period specified under Sections 5(b)(vi)
      and (vii) of the Plan, applied without regard to the $100,000 limitation
      contained in Section 422(d) of the Code, is greater than the portion of such
      option that is immediately exercisable as an “incentive stock option” during
      such post-termination period under Section 422, such excess shall be treated
      as
      a Non-Qualified Stock Option; and




(II) if
      the
      exercise of an Incentive Stock Option is accelerated by reason of a Change
      in
      Control, any portion of such option that is not exercisable as an Incentive
      Stock Option by reason of the $100,000 limitation contained in Section 422(d)
      of
      the Code shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.




(x) Buyout
      Provisions .
      The
      Committee may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash, Stock,
      Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock an option previously granted, based on such
      terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the
      optionee at the time that such offer is made.




(xi) Settlement
      Provisions .
      If the
      option agreement so provides at grant or is amended after grant and prior to
      exercise to so provide (with the optionee’s consent), the Committee may require
      that all or part of the shares to be issued with respect to the spread value
      of
      an exercised Option take the form of Deferred or Restricted Stock which shall
      be
      valued on the date of exercise on the basis of the Fair Market Value (as
      determined by the Committee) of such Deferred or Restricted Stock determined
      without regard to the deferral limitations and/or forfeiture restrictions
      involved.




**6.**  **Stock
      Appreciation Rights.**




(a)  Grant
      and Exercise .




(i)
      Stock
      Appreciation Rights may be granted in conjunction with all or part of any Stock
      Option granted under the Plan. In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option,
      such
      rights may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of such Stock
      Option. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such rights may be granted
      only at the time of the grant of such Stock Option.




-7-




(ii)
      A
      Stock Appreciation Right or applicable portion thereof granted with respect
      to a
      given Stock Option shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the
      termination or exercise of the related Stock Option, subject to such provisions
      as the Committee may specify at grant where a Stock Appreciation Right is
      granted with respect to less than the full number of shares covered by a related
      Stock Option.




(iii)
      A
      Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by an optionee, subject to Section
      6(b) of the Plan, in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee
      for such purpose. Upon such exercise, the optionee shall be entitled to receive
      an amount determined in the manner prescribed in said Section 6(b). Stock
      Options relating to exercised Stock Appreciation Rights shall no longer be
      exercisable to the extent that the related Stock Appreciation Rights have been
      exercised.




(b)  Terms
      and Conditions .
      Stock
      Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions, not
      inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined from time
      to time by the Committee, including the following:




(i)
      Stock
      Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to
      the
      extent that the Stock Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in
      accordance with the provisions of this Section 6 and Section 5 of the Plan;
      provided, however, that any Stock Appreciation Right granted to an optionee
      subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the grant of the
      related Stock Option shall not be exercisable during the first six months of
      its
      term, except that this special limitation shall not apply in the event of death
      or Disability of the optionee prior to the expiration of the six-month period.
      The exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights held by optionees who are subject
      to
      Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act shall comply with Rule 16b-3 thereunder to
      the
      extent applicable.




(ii)
      Upon
      the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, an optionee shall be entitled to
      receive an amount in cash and/or shares of Stock equal in value to the excess
      of
      the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock over the option price per share
      specified in the related Stock Option multiplied by the number of shares in
      respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, with
      the Committee having the right to determine the form of payment. When payment
      is
      to be made in shares of Stock, the number of shares to be paid shall be
      calculated on the basis of the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date
      of
      exercise. When payment is to be made in cash, such amount shall be based upon
      the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of exercise, determined in a
      manner not inconsistent with Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules
      of
      the Commission thereunder.




(iii)
      Stock Appreciation Rights shall be transferable only when and to the extent
      that
      the underlying Stock Option would be transferable under Section 5(b)(v) of
      the
      Plan.




(iv)
      Upon
      the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Stock Option or part thereof
      to
      which such Stock Appreciation Right is related shall be deemed to have been
      exercised only to the extent of the number of shares issued under the Stock
      Appreciation Right at the time of exercise based on the value of the Stock
      Appreciation Right at such time.




(v)
      In
      its sole discretion, the Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights that
      become exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control and/or a Potential
      Change in Control, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may
      specify at grant; provided that any such Stock Appreciation Rights shall be
      settled solely in cash.




(vi)
      The
      Committee, in its sole discretion, may also provide that, in the event of a
      Change in Control and/or a Potential Change in Control, the amount to be paid
      upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be based on the Change
      in
      Control Price, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may specify
      at grant.




**7.**  **Restricted
      Stock.**




(a)  Administration .

      of Restricted Stock may be issued either alone, in addition to or in tandem
      with
      other awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the
      Plan.
      The Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or
      times at which, grants of Restricted Stock will be made, the number of shares
      to
      be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the recipient of Restricted Stock,
      subject to Section 7(b) of the Plan, the time or times within which such awards
      may be subject to forfeiture, and all other terms and conditions of the awards.

      of
      specified performance goals or such other factors as the Committee may, in
      its
      sole discretion, determine. The provisions of Restricted Stock awards need
      not
      be the same with respect to each recipient.

(b)  Awards
      and Certificates .




(i)
      The
      prospective recipient of a Restricted Stock award shall not have any rights
      with
      respect to such award unless and until such recipient has executed an agreement
      evidencing the award and has delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the
      Company, and has otherwise complied with the applicable terms and conditions
      of
      such award.




(ii)
      The
      purchase price for shares of Restricted Stock may be equal to or less than
      their
      par value and may be zero.




(iii)
      Awards of Restricted Stock must be accepted within a period of 60 days (or
      such
      shorter period as the Committee may specify at grant) after the award date,
      by
      executing a Restricted Stock Award Agreement and paying the price, if any,
      required under Section 7(b)(ii).




(iv)
      Each
      participant receiving a Restricted Stock award shall be issued a stock
      certificate in respect of such shares of Restricted Stock. Such certificate
      shall be registered in the name of such participant, and shall bear an
      appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions
      applicable to such award.




(v)
      The
      Committee shall require that (A) the stock certificates evidencing shares of

      thereon shall have lapsed, and (B) as a condition of any Restricted Stock award,
      the participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating
      to the Restricted Stock covered by such award.




(c)  Restrictions
      and Conditions .
      The
      shares of Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to this Section 7 shall be subject
      to the following restrictions and conditions:




(i)
      Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the award agreement, during a period
      set by the Committee commencing with the date of such award (the “Restriction
      Period”), the participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge or
      assign shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan. Within these limits,
      the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for the lapse of such
      restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions
      in
      whole or in part, based on service, performance and/or such other factors or
      criteria as the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion.




(ii)
      Except as provided in this Section 7(c)(ii) and Section 7(c)(i) of the Plan,
      the
      participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, all
      of
      the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the
      shares and the right to receive any regular cash dividends paid out of current
      earnings. The Committee, in its sole discretion, as determined at the time
      of
      award, may permit or require the payment of cash dividends to be deferred and,
      if the Committee so determines, reinvested, subject to Section 14(e) of the
      Plan, in additional Restricted Stock to the extent shares are available under
      Section 3 of the Plan, or otherwise reinvested. Stock dividends, splits and
      distributions issued with respect to Restricted Stock shall be treated as
      additional shares of Restricted Stock that are subject to the same restrictions
      and other terms and conditions that apply to the shares with respect to which
      such dividends are issued, and the Committee may require the participant to
      deliver an additional stock power covering the shares issuable pursuant to
      such
      stock dividend, split or distribution. Any other dividends or property
      distributed with regard to Restricted Stock, other than regular dividends
      payable and paid out of current earnings, shall be held by the Company subject
      to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock.




(iii)
      Subject to the applicable provisions of the award agreement and this Section
      7,
      upon termination of a participant’s employment or other services with the
      Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate for any reason during the Restriction
      Period, all shares still subject to restriction will vest, or be forfeited,
      in
      accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee at or
      after grant.

      If
      and when the Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the
      Restricted Stock subject to such Restriction Period, certificates for an
      appropriate number of unrestricted shares, and other property held by the
      Company with respect to such Restricted Shares, shall be delivered to the
      participant promptly.




(d)  Minimum
      Value Provisions .
      In
      order to better ensure that award payments actually reflect the performance
      of
      the Company and service of the participant, the Committee may provide, in its
      sole discretion, for a tandem Stock Option or performance-based or other award
      designed to guarantee a minimum value, payable in cash or Stock to the recipient
      of a Restricted Stock award, subject to such performance, future service,
      deferral and other terms and conditions as may be specified by the
      Committee.

      during which, and the conditions under which, receipt of the Stock will be
      deferred, and the other terms and conditions of the award in addition to those
      set forth in Section 8(b). The Committee may condition the grant of Deferred
      Stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals or such other factors
      or criteria as the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine. The
      provisions of Deferred Stock awards need not be the same with respect to each
      recipient.




(b)  Terms
      and Conditions .

      shares of Deferred Stock awarded pursuant to this Section 8 shall be subject
      to

      Section 8(b)(vi) of the Plan, Deferred Stock awards may not be sold, assigned,

      Deferred Stock in question will vest, or be forfeited, in accordance with the
      terms and conditions established by the Committee at or after
      grant.




(iv)
      Based on service, performance and/or such other factors or criteria as the
      Committee may determine, the Committee may, at or after grant, accelerate the
      vesting of all or any part of any Deferred Stock award and/or waive the deferral
      limitations for all or any part of such award.




(v)
      A
      participant may elect to further defer receipt of an award (or an installment
      of
      an award) for a specified period or until a specified event (the “Elective
      Deferral Period”), subject in each case to the Committee’s approval and to such
      terms as are determined by the Committee, all in its sole discretion. Subject
      to
      any exceptions adopted by the Committee, such election must generally be made
      at
      least twelve months prior to completion of the Deferral Period for such Deferred
      Stock award (or such installment).




(vi)
      Each
      award shall be confirmed by, and subject to the terms of, a Deferred Stock
      agreement executed by the Company and the participant.

      designed to guarantee a minimum value, payable in cash or Stock to the recipient
      of a deferred stock award, subject to such performance, future service, deferral
      and other terms and conditions as may be specified by the
      Committee.

      whole
      or in part any or all of the remaining limitations (if any) imposed with respect
      to any or all of an award pursuant to this Section 10.




(v)
      Each
      award under this Section 10 shall be confirmed by, and subject to the terms
      of,
      an agreement or other instrument by the Company and by the
      participant.




(vi)
      Stock (including securities convertible into Stock) issued on a bonus basis

      vested pursuant to Sections 11(a)(i) and (ii) of the Plan), shall be purchased
      by the Company (“cashout”) in a manner determined by the Committee, in its sole

      may determine prior to the Change in Control, unless the Committee shall,
      contemporaneously with or prior to any particular Change of Control or Potential
      Change of Control, determine that this Section 11(a)(iii) shall not be
      applicable to such Change in Control or Potential Change in
      Control.

      purposes of Section 11(a) of the Plan, a “Change in Control” means the happening

      any “person” (as defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act and as used in
      Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, including a “group” as defined in
      Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, but excluding the Company and any Subsidiary

      Exchange Act, as amended from time to time), of securities of the Company
      representing thirty percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of the
      Company’s then outstanding securities; provided, however, that a Change of
      Control shall not arise if such acquisition is approved by the board of
      directors or if the board of directors or the Committee determines that such
      acquisition is not a Change of Control or if the board of directors authorizes
      the issuance of the shares of Stock (or securities convertible into Stock or
      upon the exercise of which shares of Stock may be issued) to such persons;

      of the Plan, the individuals who, at the beginning of such period, constitute
      the Board (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason other than death,
      Disability or Retirement to constitute at least a majority thereof, provided,
      however, that a director who was not a director at the beginning of such
      24-month period shall be deemed to have satisfied such 24-month requirement
      (and
      be an Incumbent Director) if such director was elected by, or on the
      recommendation of, or with the approval of, at least two-thirds of the directors
      who then qualified as Incumbent Directors either actually (because they were
      directors at the beginning of such 24-month period) or by prior operation of
      this Section 11(b)(ii); provided, however, that all directors who are elected
      to
      the board not later than six months after the Acquisition Effective Date shall
      be deemed to be an Incumbent Director and shall be deemed to have satisfied
      the
      24-month requirement set forth in this Section 11(b)(ii); or




(iii)
      The
      occurrence of a transaction requiring stockholder approval for the acquisition
      of the Company by an entity other than the Company or a Subsidiary through
      purchase of assets, or by merger, or otherwise unless approved by a majority
      of
      Incumbent Directors.




(c)  Definition
      of Potential Change in Control .
      For
      purposes of Section 11(a) of the Plan, a “Potential Change in Control” means the
      happening of any one of the following:




(i)

      approval by stockholders of an agreement by the Company, the consummation of
      which would result in a Change in Control of the Company as defined in Section
      11(b) of the Plan; or




(ii)
      The
      acquisition of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, by any entity,
      person or group (other than the Company or a Subsidiary or any Company employee
      benefit plan or any trustee of such plan acting as such trustee) of securities
      of the Company representing five percent or more of the combined voting power
      of
      the Company’s outstanding securities and the adoption by the Board of Directors
      of a resolution to the effect that a Potential Change in Control of the Company
      has occurred for purposes of the Plan.




(d)  Change
      in Control Price .
      For
      purposes of this Section 11, “Change in Control Price” means the highest price
      per share paid in any transaction reported on the principal stock exchange
      on
      which the Stock is traded or the average of the highest bid and asked prices
      as
      reported by the principal stock exchange or market on which the Stock is traded,
      or paid or offered in any bona fide transaction related to a Potential or actual
      Change in Control of the Company at any time during the sixty-day period
      immediately preceding the occurrence of the Change in Control (or, where
      applicable, the occurrence of the Potential Change in Control event), in each
      case as determined by the Committee except that, in the case of Incentive Stock
      Options and Stock Appreciation Rights relating to Incentive Stock Options,
      such
      price shall be based only on transactions reported for the date on which the
      optionee exercises such Stock Appreciation Rights, Incentive Stock Options
      or,
      where applicable, the date on which a cashout occurs under Section
      11(a)(iii).




**12.**  **Amendments
      and Termination.**




(a)  The
      Board
      may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, or
      discontinuation shall be made which would impair the rights of an optionee
      or
      participant under a Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted or
      Deferred Stock award, Stock Purchase Right or Other Stock-Based Award
      theretofore granted, without the optionee’s or participant’s consent, and no
      amendment will be made without approval of the stockholders if such amendment
      requires stockholder approval under state law or if stockholder approval is
      necessary in order that the Plan comply with Rule 16b-3 of the Commission under
      the Exchange Act or any substitute or successor rule or if stockholder approval
      is necessary in order to enable the grant pursuant to the Plan of options or
      other awards intended to confer tax benefits upon the recipients
      thereof.




(b)  The
      Committee may amend the terms of any Stock Option or other award theretofore
      granted, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall impair
      the
      rights or any holder without the holder’s consent. The Committee may also
      substitute new Stock Options for previously granted Stock Options (on a one
      for
      one or other basis), including previously granted Stock Options having higher
      option exercise prices.




-13-




(c)  Subject
      to the provisions of Sections 12(a) and (b) of the Plan, the Board shall have
      broad authority to amend the Plan to take into account changes in applicable
      securities and tax laws and accounting rules, as well as other developments,
      and, in particular, without limiting in any way the generality of the foregoing,
      to eliminate any provisions which are not required to included as a result
      of
      any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Commission pursuant to the Exchange
      Act.




**13.**  **Unfunded
      Status of Plan.**




The
      Plan
      is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred
      compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a participant or
      optionee by the Company, nothing contained in this Plan shall give any such
      participant or optionee any rights that are greater than those of a general
      creditor of the Company. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize
      the
      creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under
      the Plan to deliver Stock or payments in lieu of or with respect to awards
      under
      this Plan; provided, however, that, unless the Committee otherwise determines
      with the consent of the affected participant, the existence of such trusts
      or
      other arrangements shall be consistent with the “unfunded” status of the
      Plan.





**14.**  **General
      Provisions.**




(a)  The
      Committee may require each person purchasing shares pursuant to a Stock Option
      or other award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in
      writing that the optionee or participant is acquiring the shares without a
      view
      to distribution thereof. The certificates for such shares may include any legend
      which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.
      All certificates or shares of Stock or other securities delivered under the
      Plan
      shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the
      Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other
      requirements of the Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is
      then
      listed, and any applicable Federal or state securities law, and the Committee
      may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make
      appropriate reference to such restrictions.




(b)  Nothing
      contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional
      compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval
      is
      required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable
      only in specific cases.




(c)  Neither
      the adoption of the Plan nor the grant of any award pursuant to the Plan shall
      confer upon any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate any
      right
      to continued employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, as the
      case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company
      or
      a Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment of any of its employees
      at
      any time.




(d)  No
      later
      than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income
      of the participant for Federal income tax purposes with respect to any award
      under the Plan, the participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements
      satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any Federal, state,
      or
      local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such
      amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, withholding obligations
      may be settled with Stock, including Stock that is part of the award that gives
      rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the
      Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements and the Company and
      its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have
      the
      right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to
      the
      participant.




(e)  The
      actual or deemed reinvestment of dividends or dividend equivalents in additional
      Restricted Stock (or in Deferred Stock or other types of Plan awards) at the
      time of any dividend payment shall only be permissible if sufficient shares
      of
      Stock are available under Section 3 of the Plan for such reinvestment (taking
      into account then outstanding Stock Options, Stock Purchase Rights and other
      Plan awards).

**15.**  **Effective
      Date of Plan.**




he
      Plan
      shall be effective as of the date the Plan is approved by the Board, subject
      to
      the approval of the Plan by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of
      the
      Company’s Stock at the next annual or special meeting of stockholders. Any
      grants made under the Plan prior to such approval shall be effective when made
      (unless otherwise specified by the Committee at the time of grant), but shall
      be
      conditioned on, and subject to, such approval of the Plan by such
      stockholders.




**16.**  **Term
      of Plan.**




Stock
      Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock award, Deferred Stock award,
      Stock Purchase Right or Other Stock-Based Award may be granted pursuant to
      the
      Plan, until ten (10) years from the date the Plan was approved by the Board,
      unless the Plan shall be terminated by the Board, in its discretion, prior
      to
      such date, but awards granted prior to such termination may extend beyond that
      date.
