in subsection 3(c).



          (b)     Powers of Board.  The Board shall have the power, subject to, and within the limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan:



                    (i)     To determine from time to time which of the persons eligible under the Plan shall
be granted Stock Awards; when and how each Stock Award shall be granted; what type or combination of types of Stock Award shall be granted; the provisions of each Stock Award granted (which need not be identical), including the time or times when a person

                    (ii)     To construe and interpret the Plan and Stock Awards granted under it, and to
establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration.  The Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or in any Stock Award Agreement, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem

Committees of one or more members of the Board, and the term "Committee" shall apply to any person or persons to whom such authority has been delegated.  If administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in connection with the
administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board shall
thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board.  The Board may abolish the Committee at any time and revest in the

                    (ii)     Committee Composition when Common Stock is Publicly Traded.  At such time as the

          (b)     Reversion of Shares to the Share Reserve.  If any Option shall for any reason expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without
having been exercised in full, the stock not acquired under such Option shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan.  Shares subject to stock appreciation rights exercised in accordance with the Plan shall not be available for
subsequent issuance under the Plan.



          (c)     Source of Shares.  The stock subject to the Plan may be unissued shares or reacquired shares, bought on the market or otherwise.



5.     ELIGIBILITY.



          (a)     Eligibility for Specific Stock Awards.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.  Stock Awards other than Incentive Stock
Options may be granted to Employees, Directors and Consultants.



          (b)     Ten Percent Stockholders.  No Ten Percent Stockholder shall be eligible for the grant of an Incentive Stock Option unless the exercise price of
such Option is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the date of grant and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of grant. 



          (c)     Section 162(m) Limitation.  Subject to the provisions of Section 11 relating to adjustments upon changes in stock, no employee shall be

shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan; (3) the expiration of the Plan; or (4) the first meeting of stockholders at which Directors of the Company are to be elected that occurs after the close of the third calendar year following the
calendar year in which occurred the first registration of an equity security under Section 12 of the Exchange Act; or (ii) such other date required by Section 162(m) of the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.



6.     OPTION PROVISIONS.



          Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate.  All Options shall be separately designated Incentive Stock
Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options at the time of grant, and a separate certificate or certificates will be issued for shares purchased on exercise of each type of Option.  The provisions of separate Options need not be identical, but each Option shall
include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:



          (a)     Term.  Subject to the provisions of subsection 5(b) regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable after
the expiration of ten (10) years from the date it was granted.



          (b)     Exercise Price of an Incentive Stock Option.  Subject to the provisions of subsection 5(b) regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, the exercise
price of each Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive Stock Option may be granted
with an exercise price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.



          (c)     Exercise Price of a Nonstatutory Stock Option.  The exercise price of each Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be not less than eighty-five percent
(85%) of the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Nonstatutory Stock Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if
such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.



          (d)     Consideration.  The purchase price of stock acquired pursuant to an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and
regulations, either (i) in cash at the time the Option is exercised or (ii) at the discretion of the Board at the time of the grant of the Option (or subsequently in the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option) (1) by delivery to the Company of other Common
Stock, (2) according to a deferred payment or other arrangement (which may include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of other Common Stock) with the Participant or (3) in any other form of legal consideration that may be
acceptable to the Board; provided, however, that at any time that the Company is incorporated in Delaware, payment of the Common Stock's "par value," as defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall not be made by deferred payment.



          In the case of any deferred payment arrangement, interest shall be compounded at least annually and shall be charged at the minimum rate of interest necessary to avoid the
treatment as interest, under any applicable provisions of the Code, of any amounts other than amounts stated to be interest under the deferred payment arrangement.  



          (e)     Transferability of an Incentive Stock Option.  An Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a
third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.



           (f)     Transferability of a Nonstatutory Stock Option.  A Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be transferable to the extent provided in the Option
Agreement.  If the Nonstatutory Stock Option does not provide for transferability, then the Nonstatutory Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the
Optionholder only by the Optionholder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder,
shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.



          (g)     Vesting Generally.  The total number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in
periodic installments which may, but need not, be equal.  The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Board may deem appropriate.
The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary.  The provisions of this subsection 6(g) are subject to any Option provisions governing the minimum number of shares as to which an Option may be exercised.



          (h)     Termination of Continuous Service.  In the event an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionholder's death or
Disability), the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise it as of the date of termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months
following the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.  If, after termination, the
Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate.



          (i)     Extension of Termination Date.  An Optionholder's Option Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of the Option following the
termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service (other than upon the Optionholder's death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, then
the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in subsection 6(a) or (ii) the expiration of a period of three (3) months after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service during which the
exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements.



          (j)     Disability of Optionholder.  In the event an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's Disability, the
Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise it as of the date of termination), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12) months following such
termination (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement) or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.  If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the
time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.



          (k)     Death of Optionholder.  In the event (i) an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's death or (ii) the
Optionholder dies within the period (if any) specified in the Option Agreement after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service for a reason other than death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionholder was entitled to
exercise the Option as of the date of death) by the Optionholder's estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the option upon the Optionholder's death pursuant to
subsection 6(e) or 6(f), but only within the period ending on the earlier of (1) the date eighteen (18) months following the date of death (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement) or (2) the expiration of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.  If, after death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.



          (l)     Early Exercise.  The Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Optionholder may elect at any time before the Optionholder's
Continuous Service terminates to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the shares subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option.  Any unvested shares so purchased may be subject to an unvested share repurchase option in favor of the
Company or to any other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate.



          (m)     Right of First Refusal.  The Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Company may elect, prior to the Listing Date, to
exercise a right of first refusal following receipt of notice from the Optionholder of the intent to transfer all or any part of the shares received upon the exercise of the Option.  Except as expressly provided in this subsection 6(m), such right of
first refusal shall otherwise comply with any applicable provisions of the Bylaws of the Company.



          (n)     Re-Load Options.  Without in any way limiting the authority of the Board to make or not to make grants of Options hereunder, the Board shall
have the authority (but not an obligation) to include as part of any Option Agreement a provision entitling the Optionholder to a further Option (a "Re-Load Option") in the event the Optionholder exercises the Option evidenced by the Option Agreement, in
whole or in part, by surrendering other shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Plan and the terms and conditions of the Option Agreement.  Any such Re-Load Option shall (i) provide for a number of shares equal to the number of shares surrendered
as part or all of the exercise price of such Option; (ii) have an expiration date which is the same as the expiration date of the Option the exercise of which gave rise to such Re-Load Option; and (iii) have an exercise price which is equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Re-Load Option on the date of exercise of the original Option.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Re-Load Option shall be subject to the same exercise price and term provisions
heretofore described for Options under the Plan.



          Any such Re-Load Option may be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option, as the Board may designate at the time of the grant of the original Option; provided,
however, that the designation of any Re-Load Option as an Incentive Stock Option shall be subject to the one hundred thousand dollar ($100,000) annual limitation on the exercisability of Incentive Stock Options described in subsection 10(d) and in Section
422(d) of the Code.  There shall be no Re-Load Options on a Re-Load Option.  Any such Re-Load Option shall be subject to the availability of sufficient shares under subsection 4(a) and the "Section 162(m) Limitation" on the grants of Options under
subsection 5(c) and shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as the Board may determine which are not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan regarding the terms of Options.



7.     PROVISIONS OF STOCK AWARDS OTHER THAN OPTIONS.



          (a)     Stock Bonus Awards.  Each stock bonus agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem
appropriate.  The terms and conditions of stock bonus agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate stock bonus agreements need not be identical, but each stock bonus agreement shall include (through incorporation of
provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:  



                    (i)     Consideration.  A stock bonus shall be awarded in consideration for past services
actually rendered to the Company or an Affiliate for its benefit.



                    (ii)     Vesting.  Shares of Common Stock awarded under the stock bonus agreement may, but
need not, be subject to a share repurchase option in favor of the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board.



                    (iii)     Termination of Participant's Continuous Service.  In the event a Participant's
Continuous Service terminates, the Company may reacquire any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant which have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the stock bonus agreement.



                    (iv)     Transferability.  Rights to acquire shares under the stock bonus agreement shall
be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the stock bonus agreement, as the Board shall determine in its discretion, so long as stock awarded under the stock bonus agreement remains subject to the terms of
the stock bonus agreement.



          (b)     Restricted Stock Awards.  Each restricted stock purchase agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the
Board shall deem appropriate.  The terms and conditions of the restricted stock purchase agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate restricted stock purchase agreements need not be identical, but each restricted
stock purchase agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:



                    (i)     Purchase Price.  The purchase price under each restricted stock purchase agreement
shall be such amount as the Board shall determine and designate in such restricted stock purchase agreement.  The purchase price shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the stock's Fair Market Value on the date such award is made or at the
time the purchase is consummated.



                    (ii)     Consideration.  The purchase price of stock acquired pursuant to the restricted
stock purchase agreement shall be paid either:  (i) in cash at the time of purchase; (ii) at the discretion of the Board, according to a deferred payment or other arrangement with the Participant; or (iii) in any other form of legal consideration that may
be acceptable to the Board in its discretion; provided, however, that at any time that the Company is incorporated in Delaware, payment of the Common Stock's "par value," as defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall not be made by deferred
payment.



                    (iii)     Vesting.  Shares of Common Stock acquired under the restricted stock purchase
agreement may, but need not, be subject to a share repurchase option in favor of the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board.



                    (iv)     Termination of Participant's Continuous Service.  In the event a Participant's
Continuous Service terminates, the Company may repurchase or otherwise reacquire any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant which have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the restricted stock purchase agreement.



                    (v)     Transferability.  Rights to acquire shares under the restricted stock purchase
agreement shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the restricted stock purchase agreement, as the Board shall determine in its discretion, so long as stock awarded under the restricted stock
purchase agreement remains subject to the terms of the restricted stock purchase agreement.



          (c)     Stock Appreciation Rights.



                    (i)     Authorized Rights.  The following three types of stock appreciation rights shall be
authorized for issuance under the Plan:



                           (1)     Tandem Rights.  A "Tandem Right" means a
stock appreciation right granted appurtenant to an Option which is subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the particular Option grant to which it pertains with the following exceptions:  The Tandem Right shall require the holder to elect
between the exercise of the underlying Option for shares of Common Stock and the surrender, in whole or in part, of such Option for an appreciation distribution.  The appreciation distribution payable on the exercised the Tandem Right shall be in cash
(or, if so provided, in an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock based on Fair Market Value on the date of the Option surrender) in an amount up to the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value (on the date of the Option surrender) of the number of shares
of Common Stock covered by that portion of the surrendered Option in which the Optionholder is vested over (B) the aggregate exercise price payable for such vested shares.



                           (2)     Concurrent Rights.  A "Concurrent Right"
means a stock appreciation right granted appurtenant to an Option which applies to all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock subject to the underlying Option and which is subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the particular Option
grant to which it pertains with the following exceptions:  A Concurrent Right shall be exercised automatically at the same time the underlying Option is exercised with respect to the particular shares of Common Stock to which the Concurrent Right
pertains.  The appreciation distribution payable on an exercised Concurrent Right shall be in cash (or, if so provided, in an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock based on Fair Market Value on the date of the exercise of the Concurrent Right) in an
amount equal to such portion as determined by the Board at the time of the grant of the excess of (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the date of the exercise of the Concurrent Right) of the vested shares of Common Stock purchased -under the
underlying Option which have Concurrent Rights appurtenant to them over (B) the aggregate exercise price paid for such shares.



                           (3)     Independent Rights.  An "Independent
Right" means a stock appreciation right granted independently of any Option but which is subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to a Nonstatutory Stock Option with the following exceptions:  An Independent Right shall be denominated in share
equivalents.  The appreciation distribution payable on the exercised Independent Right shall be not greater than an amount equal to the excess of (a) the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the date of the exercise of the Independent Right) of a number of
shares of Company stock equal to the number of share equivalents in which the holder is vested under such Independent Right, and with respect to which the holder is exercising the Independent Right on such date, over (b) the aggregate Fair Market Value
(on the date of the grant of the Independent Right) of such number of shares of Company stock.  The appreciation distribution payable on the exercised Independent Right shall be in cash or, if so provided, in an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock
based on Fair Market Value on the date of the exercise of the Independent Right.



                    (ii)     Relationship to Options.  Stock appreciation rights appurtenant to Incentive Stock
Options may be granted only to Employees.  The "Section 162(m) Limitation" provided in subsection 5(c) and any authority to reprice Options shall apply as well to the grant of stock appreciation rights.



                    (iii)     Exercise.  To exercise any outstanding stock appreciation right, the holder shall
provide written notice of exercise to the Company in compliance with the provisions of the Stock Award Agreement evidencing such right.   Except as provided in subsection 5(c) regarding the "Section 162(m) Limitation," no limitation shall exist on the
aggregate amount of cash payments that the Company may make under the Plan in connection with the exercise of a stock appreciation right.



8.     COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.



          (a)     Availability of Shares.  During the terms of the Stock Awards, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of Common
Stock required to satisfy such Stock Awards.



          (b)     Securities Law Compliance.  The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such
authority as may be required to grant Stock Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Stock Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any
Stock Award or any stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Stock Award.  If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the
lawful issuance and sale of stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell stock upon exercise of such Stock Awards unless and until such authority is obtained.



9.     USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK.



          Proceeds from the sale of stock pursuant to Stock Awards shall constitute general funds of the Company.



10.     MISCELLANEOUS.



          (a)     Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting.  The Board shall have the power to accelerate the time at which a Stock Award may first be
exercised or the time during which a Stock Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Stock Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.



          (b)     Stockholder Rights.  No Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares
subject to such Stock Award unless and until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Stock Award pursuant to its terms.



          (c)     No Employment or other Service Rights.  Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Stock Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer
upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Stock Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an Employee with
or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant's agreement with the Company or an Affiliate or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate,
and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.



          (d)     Incentive Stock Option $100,000 Limitation.  To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of stock with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionholder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), the Options or portions thereof
which exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.



          (e)     Investment Assurances.  The Company may require a Participant, as a condition of exercising or acquiring stock under any Stock Award, (i) to
give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant's knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced
in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Stock Award; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating
that the Participant is acquiring the stock subject to the Stock Award for the Participant's own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the stock.  The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to
such requirements, shall be inoperative if (iii) the issuance of the shares upon the exercise or acquisition of stock under the Stock Award has been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (iv) as to
any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws.  The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on
stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the stock.



          (f)     Withholding Obligations.  To the extent provided by the terms of a Stock Award Agreement, the Participant may satisfy any federal, state or
local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of stock under a Stock Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company's right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a
combination of such means:  (i) tendering a cash payment; (ii) authorizing the Company to withhold shares from the shares of the Common Stock otherwise issuable to the participant as a result of the exercise or acquisition of stock under the Stock Award;
or (iii) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered shares of the Common Stock.



11.     ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK.



          (a)     Capitalization Adjustments.  If any change is made in the stock subject to the Plan, or subject to any Stock Award, without the receipt of
consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in
corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to subsection 4(a) and the maximum
number of securities subject to award to any person pursuant to subsection 5(c), and the outstanding Stock Awards will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of securities and price per share of stock subject to such outstanding Stock
Awards.  The Board shall make such adjustments in good faith, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.  (The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as a transaction "without receipt of
consideration" by the Company.)



          (b)     Change in Control--Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then all outstanding Stock Awards
shall terminate immediately prior to such event.



          (c)     Change in Control--Asset Sale, Merger, Consolidation or Reverse Merger.  In the event of (i) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior
to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, own less than 50% of the outstanding voting power of the surviving entity (or its parent) following the consolidation, merger or reorganization or (iii) any transaction (or series of related transactions
involving a person or entity, or a group of affiliated persons or entities) in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Company's outstanding voting power is transferred (any of the above, a "Change of Control"), then any surviving corporation or
acquiring corporation shall assume any Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan or shall substitute similar stock awards (including an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders in the transaction described in this subsection 11(c)
for those outstanding under the Plan.  In the event any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation refuses to assume such Stock Awards or to substitute similar stock awards for those outstanding under the Plan, then with respect to Stock Awards held
by Participants whose Continuous Service has not terminated, the vesting of such Stock Awards (and, if applicable, the time during which such Stock Awards may be exercised) shall be accelerated in full, and the Stock Awards shall terminate if not
exercised (if applicable) at or prior to such event.  With respect to any other Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan, such Stock Awards shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to such event.



          In the event of a Change in Control, the Company shall give each optionholder written notice of such Change in Control at least ten (10) days prior to the closing of such
transaction. 



12.     AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND STOCK AWARDS.



          (a)     Amendment of Plan.  The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan.  However, except as provided in Section 11 relating to
adjustments upon changes in stock, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, Rule 16b-3 or any Nasdaq or
securities exchange listing requirements.



          (b)     Stockholder Approval.  The Board may, in its sole discretion, submit any other amendment to the Plan for stockholder approval, including, but
not limited to, amendments to the Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder regarding the exclusion of performance-based compensation from the limit on corporate deductibility of compensation
paid to certain executive officers.



          (c)     Contemplated Amendments.  It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable
to provide eligible Employees with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder relating to Incentive Stock Options and/or to bring the Plan and/or Incentive Stock Options
granted under it into compliance therewith.



          (d)     No Impairment of Rights.  Rights under any Stock Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan
unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (ii) the Participant consents in writing.

          (e)     Amendment of Stock Awards.  The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Stock Awards; provided,
however, that the rights under any Stock Award shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (ii) the Participant consents in writing.



13.     TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN.



          (a)     Plan Term.  The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time.  Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the day before the
tenth (10th) anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or approved by the stockholders of the Company, whichever is earlier.  No Stock Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.



          (b)     No Impairment of Rights.  Suspension or termination of the Plan shall not impair rights and obligations under any Stock Award granted while the
Plan is in effect except with the written consent of the Participant.



14.     EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.



          The Plan shall become effective as determined by the Board, but no Stock Award shall be exercised (or, in the case of a stock bonus, shall be granted) unless and until the Plan
has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, which approval shall be within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.



15.     CHOICE OF LAW.



          All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan shall be governed by the law of the State of Delaware, without regard to such state's
conflict of laws rules.
