of  the Company, its Affiliates, and its stockholders by providing those persons
who have substantial responsibility for the management and growth of the Company
and  its  Affiliates  with additional incentives and an opportunity to obtain or
increase  their proprietary interest in the Company, thereby encouraging them to

conditions  of  Rule  16b-3  (and  all subsequent revisions thereof) promulgated
under  the  1934  Act.  To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the

               ARTICLE IV - GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO AWARDS

          4.1     AUTHORITY  TO  GRANT AWARDS.  The Committee may grant to those
                  ---------------------------
Eligible  Persons  of the Company or any of its Affiliates as it shall from time
to  time determine, Awards under the terms and conditions of this Plan.  Subject
only to any applicable limitations set out in this Plan, the number of shares of
Stock  to  be  covered by any Award to be granted to an Eligible Person shall be
determined  by  the  Committee.

          4.2     DEDICATED  SHARES.  The  total  number of shares of Stock with
                  -----------------
respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan shall be 3,000,000 shares.
The  shares  may  be  treasury  shares  or  authorized but unissued shares.  The
maximum  number  of shares subject to options or stock appreciation rights which
may  be issued to any eligible person under the plan during each plan year shall
be  determined  by  the  compensation  committee.  The  maximum number of shares
subject  to  restricted stock awards which may be granted to any eligible person
under  the  plan  during  each plan year shall be determined by the compensation
committee.  The  maximum  number  of  shares subject to performance stock awards
which  may  be  granted  to  any  eligible person during each plan year shall be
determined  by  the compensation committee.  The number of shares stated in this
Section  4.2 shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of
Section  4.5.  In the event that any outstanding Award shall expire or terminate
for any reason or any Award is surrendered, the shares of Stock allocable to the
unexercised  portion  of  that  Award may again be subject to an Award under the
Plan.

          4.3     NON-TRANSFERABILITY.  Awards  shall not be transferable by the
                  -------------------
Eligible  Person  otherwise  than  by  will  or  under  the  laws of descent and
distribution,  and  shall be exercisable, during the Eligible Person's lifetime,
only by him. Restricted Stock shall be purchased by and/or become vested under a
Restricted  Stock  Agreement during the Eligible Person's lifetime, only by him.
Any  attempt to transfer an Award other than under the terms of the Plan and the
Agreement  shall  terminate  the  Award and all rights of the Eligible Person to
that  Award.

          4.4     REQUIREMENTS  OF  LAW.  The  Company  shall not be required to
                  ---------------------
sell  or  issue any Stock under any Award if issuing that Stock would constitute
or  result in a violation by the Eligible Person or the Company of any provision


<PAGE>
of  any law, statute, or regulation of any governmental authority. Specifically,
in  connection  with  any  applicable  statute  or  regulation  relating  to the
registration  of  securities,  upon  exercise  of  any Option or pursuant to any
Award, the Company shall not be required to issue any Stock unless the Committee
has  received  evidence satisfactory to it to the effect that the holder of that
Option or Award will not transfer the Stock except in accordance with applicable
law,  including  receipt of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to
the  effect  that  any  proposed  transfer  complies  with  applicable law.  The
determination  by  the  Committee  on  this  matter  shall be final, binding and
conclusive. The Company may, but shall in no event be obligated to, register any
Stock covered by this Plan pursuant to applicable securities laws of any country
or any political subdivision.  In the event the Stock issuable on exercise of an
Option or pursuant to an Award is not registered, the Company may imprint on the
certificate  evidencing  the  Stock  any  legend  that  counsel  for the Company
considers  necessary  or  advisable  to  comply with applicable law. The Company
shall  not  be  obligated to take any other affirmative action in order to cause
the  exercise  of an Option or vesting under an Award, or the issuance of shares
pursuant  thereto,  to  comply  with  any  law or regulation of any governmental
authority.

          4.5     CHANGES  IN  THE  COMPANY'S  CAPITAL  STRUCTURE.
                  -----------------------------------------------

               (a)     The  existence of outstanding Options or Awards shall not
affect  in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make
or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other
changes  in  the  Company's  capital structure or its business, or any merger or
consolidation  of  the  Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or
prior  preference  stock  ahead  of or affecting the Stock or its rights, or the
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any
part  of  its  assets  or  business,  or  any other corporate act or proceeding,
whether  of  a  similar  character  or otherwise.  If the Company shall effect a
subdivision  or  consolidation  of  shares  or  other  capital readjustment, the
payment  of  a  Stock  dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of
shares of the Stock outstanding, without receiving compensation for it in money,
services  or property, then (a) the number, class, and per share price of shares
of  Stock  subject to outstanding Options under this Plan shall be appropriately
adjusted  in  such  a  manner  as  to entitle an Eligible Person to receive upon
exercise of an Option, for the same aggregate cash consideration, the equivalent
total  number  and  class  of shares he would have received had he exercised his
Option  in full immediately prior to the event requiring the adjustment; and (b)
the  number  and  class  of shares of Stock then reserved to be issued under the
Plan  shall be adjusted by substituting for the total number and class of shares
of Stock then reserved, that number and class of shares of Stock that would have
been  received  by  the  owner  of an equal number of outstanding shares of each
class  of  Stock  as  the  result  of  the  event  requiring  the  adjustment.

               (b)     If  the  Company  is  merged or consolidated with another
corporation  and the Company is not the surviving corporation, or if the Company
is  liquidated  or  sells  or otherwise disposes of substantially all its assets
while  unexercised  Options  remain  outstanding  under  this  Plan:

                    (i)     subject to the provisions of clause (c) below, after
the  effective  date  of  the  merger, consolidation, liquidation, sale or other
disposition,  as  the case may be, each holder of an outstanding Option shall be
entitled,  upon  exercise of the Option, to receive, in lieu of shares of Stock,
the  number  and  class  or  classes  of  shares of stock or other securities or
property  to  which the holder would have been entitled if, immediately prior to
the  merger,  consolidation,  liquidation, sale or other disposition, the holder
had been the holder of record of a number of shares of Stock equal to the number
of  shares  as  to  which  the  Option  shall  be  so  exercised;

                    (ii)     the  Board  of  Directors may waive any limitations
set out in or imposed under this Plan so that all Options, from and after a date
prior  to  the effective date of the merger, consolidation, liquidation, sale or
other  disposition,  as  the  case  may be, specified by the Board of Directors,
shall  be  exercisable  in  full;  and

                    (iii)     all  outstanding  Options  may  be canceled by the
Board  of  Directors  as  of  the  effective  date of any merger, consolidation,
liquidation,  sale  or other disposition, if (i) notice of cancellation shall be
given  to  each holder of an Option and (ii) each holder of an Option shall have
the right to exercise that Option in full (without regard to any limitations set
out  in or imposed under this Plan or the Option Agreement granting that Option)
during  a  period  set by the Board of Directors preceding the effective date of
the merger, consolidation, liquidation, sale or other disposition and, if in the


<PAGE>
event  all  outstanding  Options  may  not be exercised in full under applicable
securities laws without registration of the shares of Stock issuable on exercise
of  the Options, the Board of Directors may limit the exercise of the Options to
the  number  of  shares of Stock, if any, as may be issued without registration.
The  method of choosing which Options may be exercised, and the number of shares
of  Stock  for  which  Options  may  be  exercised,  shall  be solely within the
discretion  of  the  Board  of  Directors.

               (c)     After  a  merger  of  one  or  more corporations into the
Company  or after a consolidation of the Company and one or more corporations in
which the Company shall be the surviving corporation, each Eligible Person shall
be  entitled  to have his Restricted Stock and shares earned under a Performance
Stock  Award  appropriately  adjusted based on the manner the Stock was adjusted
under  the  terms  of  the  agreement  of  merger  or  consolidation.

               (d)     In  each  situation  described  in  this Section 4.5, the
Committee  will  make  similar adjustments, as appropriate, in outstanding Stock
Appreciation  Rights.

               (e)     The  issuance  by  the  Company of shares of stock of any
class,  or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or
property,  or for labor or services either upon direct sale or upon the exercise
of  rights  or  warrants  to subscribe for them, or upon conversion of shares or
obligations  of  the  Company convertible into shares or other securities, shall
not  affect,  and  no  adjustment  by reason of such issuance shall be made with
respect  to,  the  number,  class,  or  price of shares of Stock then subject to
outstanding  Awards.

          4.6     ELECTION  UNDER  SECTION 83(B) OF THE CODE.  No Employee shall
                  ------------------------------------------
exercise  the election permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code without written
approval  of  the  Committee.  Any  Employee  doing  so shall forfeit all Awards
issued  to  him  under  this  Plan.


                ARTICLE V - OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

          5.1     TYPE  OF  OPTION.  The  Committee shall specify at the time of

Stock  may be purchased under an Incentive Option shall not be less than 110% of
the  Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the Incentive Option is granted.
The  price at which shares of Stock may be purchased under a Nonqualified Option
shall  be  such  price  as  shall  be  determined  by  the Committee in its sole
discretion  but  in  no event lower than the par value of the shares of Stock on
the  date  the  Option  is  granted.

          5.3     DURATION  OF  OPTIONS  AND  SARS.  No  Option  or SAR shall be
                  --------------------------------
exercisable  after  the expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Option or
SAR  is granted.  In the case of a 10% Stockholder, no Incentive Option shall be

Agreement,  as long as the Option is valid and outstanding, and further provided
that  no  Option  may be exercisable within six (6) months of the date of grant,

$100,000,  the  portion  in  excess of $100,000 of the Incentive Option shall be
treated  as  a  Nonqualified  Option.  In  making  this determination, Incentive
Options  shall  be  taken  into account in the order in which they were granted.

          5.5     EXERCISE  OF  OPTIONS.  Each  Option shall be exercised by the
                  ---------------------
delivery  of  written notice to the Committee setting forth the number of shares
of  Stock  with  respect  to which the Option is to be exercised, together with:

               (a)     cash,  certified  check, bank draft, or postal or express
money  order  payable  to  the  order  of the Company for an amount equal to the
option  price  of  the  shares,

               (b)     Stock  at  its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise,
(if  approved  in  advance  by  the  Committee),

               (c)     an  election  to  make  a  cashless  exercise  through  a
registered  broker-dealer  (if  approved  in  advance  by  the  Committee),

               (d)     an  election  to  have  shares  of Stock, which otherwise
would  be  issued  on  exercise,  withheld  in payment of the exercise price (if
approved  in  advance  by  the  Committee),  and/or

               (e)     any  other  form  of  payment  which is acceptable to the
Committee,  including  without  limitation,  payment in the form of a promissory
note, and specifying the address to which the certificates for the shares are to
be  mailed.

          As  promptly  as practicable after receipt of written notification and
payment,  the  Company shall deliver to the Eligible Person certificates for the
number  of shares with respect to which the Option has been exercised, issued in
the  Eligible  Person's  name.  If  shares  of  Stock  are  used in payment, the
aggregate  Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock tendered must be equal to or
less  than  the  aggregate  exercise  price  of  the shares being purchased upon
exercise  of  the  Option,  and  any  difference must be paid by cash, certified
check,  bank draft, or postal or express money order payable to the order of the
Company. Delivery of the shares shall be deemed effected for all purposes when a
stock transfer agent of the Company shall have deposited the certificates in the
United  States  mail, addressed to the Eligible Person, at the address specified
by  the  Eligible  Person.

          Whenever an Option is exercised by exchanging shares of Stock owned by
the  Eligible  Person,  the  Eligible  Person  shall  deliver  to  the  Company
certificates registered in the name of the Eligible Person representing a number
of  shares  of Stock legally and beneficially owned by the Eligible Person, free
of  all  liens,  claims,  and  encumbrances  of every kind, accompanied by stock
powers  duly endorsed in blank by the record holder of the shares represented by
the  certificates  (with  signature  guaranteed  by  a  commercial bank or trust
company  or  by  a  brokerage  firm having a membership on a registered national
stock  exchange).  The  delivery of certificates upon the exercise of Options is
subject  to  the  condition  that  the  person exercising the Option provide the
Company  with the information the Company might reasonably request pertaining to
exercise,  sale  or  other  disposition.

          5.6     STOCK  APPRECIATION  RIGHTS.  All  Eligible  Persons  shall be
                  ---------------------------
eligible  to  receive  Stock Appreciation Rights.  The Committee shall determine
the SAR to be awarded from time to time to any Eligible Person.  The grant of an
SAR  to  be  awarded from time to time shall neither entitle such person to, nor
disqualify  such  person, from participation in any other grant of awards by the
Company,  whether  under this Plan or any other plan of the Company.  If granted
as  a stand-alone SAR Award, the terms of the Award shall be provided in a Stock
Appreciation  Rights  Agreement.

          5.7     STOCK  APPRECIATION  RIGHTS  IN  TANDEM  WITH  OPTIONS.  Stock
                  ------------------------------------------------------
Appreciation Rights may, at the discretion of the Committee, be included in each
Option  granted  under  the  Plan to permit the holder of an Option to surrender
that  Option, or a portion of the part which is then exercisable, and receive in
exchange,  upon  the  conditions and limitations set by the Committee, an amount
equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Stock covered by the Option,
or  the  portion  of  it  that  was  surrendered,  determined  as of the date of


<PAGE>
surrender,  over  the  aggregate exercise price of the Stock. The payment may be
made  in shares of Stock valued at Fair Market Value, in cash, or partly in cash
and  partly  in  shares  of  Stock,  as  the  Committee shall decide in its sole
discretion.  Stock  Appreciation  Rights  may  be  exercised  only when the Fair
Market Value of the Stock covered by the Option surrendered exceeds the exercise
price of the Stock.  In the event of the surrender of an Option, or a portion of
it,  to  exercise  the  Stock Appreciation Rights, the shares represented by the
Option  or  that  part  of  it  which is surrendered, shall not be available for
reissuance  under the Plan.  Each Stock Appreciation Right issued in tandem with
an  Option  (a)  will  expire  not  later  than the expiration of the underlying
Option,  (b) may be for no more than 100% of the difference between the exercise
price  of the underlying Option and the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock at
the  time  the  Stock  Appreciation Right is exercised, (c) is transferable only
when  the  underlying Option is transferable, and under the same conditions, and
(d)  may  be  exercised  only  when  the  underlying  Option  is  eligible to be
exercised.

          5.8     CONDITIONS  OF  STOCK  APPRECIATION  RIGHTS.  All  Stock
                  -------------------------------------------
Appreciation  Rights shall be subject to such terms, conditions, restrictions or
limitations as the Committee deems appropriate, including by way of illustration
but  not  by  way of limitation, restrictions on transferability, requirement of
continued  employment,  individual  performance,  financial  performance  of the
Company  or  payment  of  any  applicable  employment  or  withholding  taxes.

          5.9     PAYMENT  OF  STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.  The amount of payment
                  --------------------------------------
to  which  the  Eligible  Person  who reserves an SAR shall be entitled upon the
exercise  of  each  SAR  shall  be equal to the amount, if any by which the Fair
Market  Value  of the specified shares of Stock on the exercise date exceeds the
Fair  Market  Value of the specified shares of Stock on the date of grant of the
SAR.  The  SAR  shall  be  paid  in  either  cash or Stock, as determined in the
discretion  of  the Committee as set forth in the SAR agreement.  If the payment
is in Stock, the number of shares to be paid shall be determined by dividing the
amount of such payment by the Fair Market Value of Stock on the exercise date of
such  SAR.

          5.10     EXERCISE  ON  TERMINATION  OF  EMPLOYMENT.  Unless  it  is
                   -----------------------------------------
expressly  provided  otherwise  in  the Option or SAR agreement, Options and SAR
granted  to  Employees  or  Consultants  shall terminate one day less than three
months  after  severance  of employment of the Employee from the Company and all
Affiliates  for  any reason, with or without cause, other than death, retirement
under  the  then  established rules of the Company, or severance for disability.
Whether authorized leave of absence or absence on military or government service
shall constitute severance of the employment of the Employee shall be determined
by  the  Committee  at  that  time.

          5.11     DEATH.  If,  before  the  expiration of an Option or SAR, the
                   -----
Eligible Person, whether in the employ of the Company or after he has retired or
was  severed for disability, or otherwise dies, the Option or SAR shall continue
until the earlier of the Option's or SAR's expiration date or one year following
the  date  of his death, unless it is expressly provided otherwise in the Option
or  SAR  agreement.  After  the  death  of  the  Eligible Person, his executors,
administrators  or  any  persons to whom his Option or SAR may be transferred by
will  or  by  the  laws of descent and distribution shall have the right, at any
time  prior  to  the  Option's  or SAR's expiration or termination, whichever is
earlier,  to  exercise it, to the extent to which he was entitled to exercise it
immediately prior to his death, unless it is expressly provided otherwise in the
Option  or  SAR's  agreement.

          5.12     RETIREMENT.  Unless it is expressly provided otherwise in the
                   ----------
Option  Agreement,  before  the  expiration of an Incentive Option, the Employee
shall  be retired in good standing from the employ of the Company under the then
established  rules  of  the Company, the Incentive Option shall terminate on the
earlier  of the Option's expiration date or one day less than one year after his
retirement;  provided,  if an Incentive Option is not exercised within specified
time  limits  prescribed  by  the  Code, it will become a Nonqualified Option by
operation  of  law.  Unless  it  is  expressly  provided otherwise in the Option
Agreement, if before the expiration of a Nonqualified Option, the Employee shall
be  retired  in  good  standing  from  the  employ of the Company under the then
established rules of the Company, the Nonqualified Option shall terminate on the
earlier  of  the  Nonqualified Option's expiration date or one day less than one
year  after his retirement.  In the event of retirement, the Employee shall have
the  right  prior  to the termination of the Nonqualified Option to exercise the
Nonqualified  Option,  to  the  extent  to  which he was entitled to exercise it
immediately  prior  to his retirement, unless it is expressly provided otherwise
in  the  Option  Agreement.  Upon  retirement,  an  SAR  shall  continue  to  be
exercisable  for  the  remainder  of  the  term  of  the  SAR  agreement.


<PAGE>
          5.13     DISABILITY.  If,  before  the expiration of an Option or SAR,
                   ----------
the Employee shall be severed from the employ of the Company for disability, the
Option or SAR shall terminate on the earlier of the Option's or SAR's expiration
date  or  one  day  less  than one year after the date he was severed because of
disability,  unless  it  is  expressly  provided  otherwise in the Option or SAR
agreement.  In  the  event that the Employee shall be severed from the employ of
the  Company  for  disability,  the  Employee  shall have the right prior to the
termination  of the Option or SAR to exercise the Option, to the extent to which
he  was entitled to exercise it immediately prior to his retirement or severance
of  employment  for disability, unless it is expressly provided otherwise in the
Option  Agreement.

          5.14     SUBSTITUTION OPTIONS.  Options may be granted under this Plan
                   --------------------
from  time  to time in substitution for stock options held by employees of other
corporations who are about to become employees of or affiliated with the Company
or  any  Affiliate  as  the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing
corporation with the Company or any Affiliate, or the acquisition by the Company
or  any Affiliate of the assets of the employing corporation, or the acquisition
by  the  Company  or  any Affiliate of stock of the employing corporation as the
result  of  which  it  becomes  an  Affiliate  of  the  Company.  The  terms and
conditions  of  the  substitute  Options  granted  may  vary  from the terms and
conditions  set  out  in  this  Plan to the extent the Committee, at the time of
grant,  may  deem appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions
of  the  stock  options  in  substitution  for  which  they  are  granted.

          5.15     RELOAD OPTIONS.  Without in any way limiting the authority of
                   --------------
the  Board  of  Directors  or Committee to make or not to make grants of Options
hereunder, the Board of Directors or Committee shall have the authority (but not
an  obligation) to include as part of any Option Agreement a provision entitling
the  Eligible  Person  to  a further Option (a "Reload Option") in the event the
Eligible Person exercises the Option evidenced by the Option Agreement, in whole
or  in  part, by surrendering other shares of Stock in accordance with this Plan
and  the  terms  and conditions of the Option Agreement.  Any such Reload Option
(a) shall be for a number of shares equal to the number of shares surrendered as
part  or  all of the exercise price of such Option; (b) shall have an expiration
date  which  is  the  greater  of (i) the same expiration date of the Option the
exercise of which gave rise to such Reload Option or (ii) one year from the date
of  grant  of  the  Reload Option; and (c) shall have an exercise price which is
equal  to  one  hundred  percent  (100%)  of  the Fair Market Value of the Stock
subject  to  the  Reload  Option on the date of exercise of the original Option.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing, a Reload Option which is an Incentive Option and
which  is  granted  to  a 10% Stockholder, shall have an exercise price which is
equal  to  one  hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Stock
subject  to the Reload Option on the date of exercise of the original Option and
shall  have  a  term  which  is  no  longer  than  five  (5)  years.

          Any  such  Reload  Option may be an Incentive Option or a Nonqualified
Option,  as the Board of Directors or Committee may designate at the time of the
grant  of  the  original  Option; provided, however, that the designation of any
Reload  Option  as  an  Incentive  Option  shall  be  subject to the one hundred
thousand  dollar  ($100,000)  annual  limitation  on exercisability of Incentive
Stock  Options  described  in  the Plan and in Section 422(d) of the Code. There
shall  be  no Reload Options on a Reload Option. Any such Reload Option shall be
subject  to  the  availability of sufficient shares under Section 4.2 herein and
shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as the Board of Directors or
Committee  may  determine which are not inconsistent with the express provisions
of  the  Plan  regarding  the  terms  of  Options.

          5.16     NO  RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER.  No Eligible Person shall have any
                   -------------------------
rights  as  a  stockholder with respect to Stock covered by his Option until the
date  a  stock  certificate  is  issued  for  the  Stock.


                      ARTICLE VI - RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

          6.1     RESTRICTED  STOCK  AWARDS.  The  Committee may issue shares of

Restricted  Stock  shall  be  subject  to  restrictions  as  to  sale, transfer,
alienation, pledge or other encumbrance and generally will be subject to vesting

annual  or  more  frequent installments, at the time of the death, disability or
retirement  of  the  holder  of  such  shares,  or  otherwise);

               (b)     a  requirement  that  the  holder of shares of Restricted

termination  of  the Eligible Person's employment during any period in which the
shares  remain  subject  to  restrictions;

               (c)     a  prohibition  against  employment  of  the  holder  of
Restricted  Stock by any competitor of the Company or its Affiliates, or against

               (d)     unless  stated  otherwise  in  the  Restricted  Stock
Agreement,

                    (i)     if  restrictions  remain at the time of severance of
employment  with  the  Company  and  all  Affiliates,  other  than for reason of
disability  or  death,  the  Restricted  Stock  shall  be  forfeited;  and

                    (ii)     if  severance  of  employment  is  by  reason  of
disability or death, the restrictions on the shares shall lapse and the Eligible
Person  or his heirs or estate shall be 100% vested in the shares subject to the
Restricted  Stock  Agreement.

          6.3     STOCK  CERTIFICATE.  Shares  of  Restricted  Stock  shall  be
                  ------------------
registered  in  the  name  of the Eligible Person receiving the Restricted Stock
Award  and  deposited,  together  with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the
Company.  Each  such  certificate  shall  bear  a  legend  in  substantially the
following  form:

          The  transferability  of  this  certificate  and  the  shares of Stock
          represented  by  it  is  restricted  by  and  subject to the terms and
          conditions  (including  conditions of forfeiture) contained in the Dr.
          Owl  Online,  Inc.  2001  Employee Stock Option Plan, and an agreement
          entered  into  between the registered owner and the Company. A copy of
          the  Plan  and  agreement is on file in the office of the Secretary of
          the  Company.

          6.4     RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER.  Subject to the terms and conditions of
                  ---------------------
the  Plan,  each  Eligible  Person  receiving a certificate for Restricted Stock
shall  have  all the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Stock
included  in  the  Restricted Stock Award during any period in which such shares
are  subject  to  forfeiture  and  restrictions  on  transfer, including without
limitation,  the  right  to  vote  such  shares.  Dividends paid with respect to
shares  of  Restricted Stock in cash or property other than Stock in the Company
or  rights  to acquire stock in the Company shall be paid to the Eligible Person
currently.  Dividends paid in Stock in the Company or rights to acquire Stock in
the  Company  shall  be  added  to  and  become  a part of the Restricted Stock.

          6.5     LAPSE  OF  RESTRICTIONS.  At the end of the time period during
                  -----------------------
which  any shares of Restricted Stock are subject to forfeiture and restrictions
on  sale,  transfer, alienation, pledge, or other encumbrance, such shares shall
vest  and  will  be delivered in a certificate, free of all restrictions, to the
Eligible Person or to the Eligible Person's legal representative, beneficiary or
heir;  provided the certificate shall bear such legend, if any, as the Committee
determines is reasonably required by applicable law.  By accepting a Stock Award
and  executing a Restricted Stock Agreement, the Eligible Person agrees to remit
when  due  any  federal  and  state  income  and employment taxes required to be
withheld.


<PAGE>
          6.6     RESTRICTION PERIOD.  No Restricted Stock Award may provide for
                  ------------------
restrictions  continuing  beyond  ten  (10)  years  from  the  date  of  grant.


                     ARTICLE VII - PERFORMANCE STOCK AWARDS

          7.1     AWARD OF PERFORMANCE STOCK.  The Committee may award shares of
                  --------------------------
Stock,  without  any  payment for such shares, to designated Eligible Persons if
specified  performance  goals  established  by  the Committee are satisfied. The
terms  and  provisions  herein  relating  to  these performance based awards are
intended  to  satisfy  Section  162(m)  of  the  Code  and  regulations  issued
thereunder.  The  designation of an employee eligible for a specific Performance
Stock  Award shall be made by the Committee in writing prior to the beginning of
the  period  for  which  the  performance  is measured (or within such period as
permitted by IRS regulations).  The Committee shall establish the maximum number
of shares of Stock to be issued to a designated Employee if the performance goal
or  goals are met. The Committee reserves the right to make downward adjustments
in  the  maximum  amount of an Award if in its discretion unforeseen events make
such  adjustment  appropriate.

          7.2     PERFORMANCE  GOALS.  Performance  goals  determined  by  the
                  ------------------
Committee  may  be based on specified increases in cash flow, net profits, Stock
price,  Company,  segment  or Affiliate sales, market share, earnings per share,
return  on  assets,  and/or  return  on  stockholders'  equity.

          7.3     ELIGIBILITY.  The  employees  eligible  for  Performance Stock
                  -----------
Awards  are  the senior officers (i.e., chief executive officer, president, vice
presidents,  secretary, treasurer, and similar positions) of the Company and its
Affiliates, and such other employees of the Company and its Affiliates as may be
designated  by  the  Committee.

          7.4     CERTIFICATE  OF  PERFORMANCE.  The  Committee  must certify in
                  ----------------------------
writing  that  a  performance  goal  has  been attained prior to issuance of any
certificate  for  a  Performance  Stock Award to any Employee.  If the Committee
certifies  the  entitlement  of  an Employee to the Performance Stock Award, the
certificate  will  be  issued  to  the  Employee  as  soon  as  administratively
practicable,  and  subject to other applicable provisions of the Plan, including
but  not  limited  to,  all  legal  requirements  and tax withholding.  However,
payment may be made in shares of Stock, in cash, or partly in cash and partly in
shares  of  Stock,  as  the Committee shall decide in its sole discretion.  If a
cash  payment  is  made  in  lieu  of  shares  of  Stock,  the  number of shares
represented by such payment shall not be available for subsequent issuance under
this  Plan.


                          ARTICLE VIII - ADMINISTRATION

          The  Plan  shall  be  administered  by the Committee. All questions of
interpretation  and  application  of the Plan and Awards shall be subject to the
determination of the Committee. A majority of the members of the Committee shall
constitute  a  quorum.  All  determinations  of the Committee shall be made by a
majority  of  its  members. Any decision or determination reduced to writing and
signed by a majority of the members shall be as effective as if it had been made
by  a  majority  vote  at a meeting properly called and held. This Plan shall be
administered  in  such a manner as to permit the Options which are designated to
be  Incentive  Options  to  qualify  as  Incentive  Options. In carrying out its
authority under this Plan, the Committee shall have full and final authority and
discretion,  including  but  not  limited  to  the  following rights, powers and
authorities,  to:

               (a)     determine  the  Eligible  Persons to whom and the time or
times  at  which  Options  or  Awards  will  be  made,

               (b)     determine  the number of shares and the purchase price of
Stock  covered  in  each  Option  or  Award,  subject to the terms of the  Plan,


<PAGE>
               (c)     determine  the  terms,  provisions and conditions of each
Option  and  Award,  which  need  not  be  identical,

               (d)     accelerate  the  time  at which any outstanding Option or
SAR  may  be  exercised,  or  Restricted  Stock  Award  will  vest,

               (e)     define  the  effect, if any, on an Option or Award of the
death,  disability,  retirement,  or termination of employment of the  Employee,

               (f)     prescribe,  amend  and  rescind  rules  and  regulations
relating  to  administration  of  the  Plan,  and

               (g)     make  all other determinations and take all other actions
deemed  necessary,  appropriate,  or advisable for the proper  administration of
this  Plan.

          The  actions of the Committee in exercising all of the rights, powers,
and  authorities  set  out  in this Article and all other Articles of this Plan,
when  performed  in  good  faith  and  in  its  sole  judgment,  shall be final,
conclusive  and  binding  on  all  parties.


                  ARTICLE IX - AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN

          The  Board of Directors of the Company may amend, terminate or suspend
this  Plan  at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however,
that  to  the  extent required to qualify this Plan under Rule 16b-3 promulgated
under  Section  16  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934, as amended, no
amendment  that would (a) materially increase the number of shares of Stock that
may  be  issued  under  this  Plan, (b) materially modify the requirements as to
eligibility for participation in this Plan, or (c) otherwise materially increase
the benefits accruing to participants under this Plan, shall be made without the
approval  of  the Company's stockholders; provided further, however, that to the
extent  required  to maintain the status of any Incentive Option under the Code,
no amendment that would (a) change the aggregate number of shares of Stock which
may  be  issued  under  Incentive  Options,  (b)  change  the class of employees
eligible  to  receive  Incentive  Options,  or (c) decrease the Option price for
Incentive  Options  below  the  Fair Market Value of the Stock at the time it is
granted,  shall  be  made  without  the  approval of the Company's stockholders.
Subject  to  the preceding sentence, the Board of Directors shall have the power
to  make  any  changes  in  the  Plan  and in the regulations and administrative
provisions  under it or in any outstanding Incentive Option as in the opinion of
counsel  for  the  Company  may be necessary or appropriate from time to time to
enable any Incentive Option granted under this Plan to continue to qualify as an
incentive  stock  option  or such other stock option as may be defined under the
Code  so  as  to  receive  preferential  federal  income  tax  treatment.


                            ARTICLE X - MISCELLANEOUS

          10.1     NO  ESTABLISHMENT  OF A TRUST FUND.  No property shall be set
                   ----------------------------------
aside  nor shall a trust fund of any kind be established to secure the rights of
any  Eligible  Person  under this Plan.  All Eligible Persons shall at all times
rely  solely  upon  the  general  credit  of  the Company for the payment of any
benefit  which  becomes  payable  under  this  Plan.

          10.2     NO  EMPLOYMENT  OBLIGATION.  The  granting  of  any Option or
                   --------------------------
Award  shall  not  constitute  an  employment  contract, express or implied, nor
impose upon the Company or any Affiliate any obligation to employ or continue to
employ  any  Eligible  Person.  The  right  of  the  Company or any Affiliate to
terminate  the  employment  of any person shall not be diminished or affected by
reason  of  the  fact  that  an  Option  or  Award  has  been  granted  to  him.

          10.3     FORFEITURE.  Notwithstanding  any  other  provisions  of this
                   ----------
Plan,  if the Committee finds by a majority vote after full consideration of the
facts  that  an  Eligible  Person, before or after termination of his employment


<PAGE>
with  the  Company  or  an  Affiliate for any reason (a) committed or engaged in
fraud,  embezzlement, theft, commission of a felony, or proven dishonesty in the
course  of  his employment by the Company or an Affiliate, which conduct damaged
the  Company  or  Affiliate,  or  disclosed  trade  secrets of the Company or an
Affiliate, or (b) participated, engaged in or had a material, financial or other
interest,  whether  as  an  employee, officer, director, consultant, contractor,
stockholder,  owner,  or  otherwise,  in  any  commercial endeavor in the United
States  which  is  competitive  with the business of the Company or an Affiliate
without  the  written  consent  of the Company or Affiliate, the Eligible Person
shall  forfeit all outstanding Options and all outstanding Awards, and including
all exercised Options and other situations pursuant to which the Company has not
yet  delivered a stock certificate.  Clause (b) shall not be deemed to have been
violated  solely  by  reason  of  the  Eligible  Person's  ownership of stock or
securities  of any publicly owned corporation, if that ownership does not result
in  effective  control  of  the  corporation.

          The  decision  of  the  Committee  as  to  the  cause of an Employee's
discharge,  the damage done to the Company or an Affiliate, and the extent of an
Eligible  Person's  competitive  activity  shall  be  final.  No decision of the
Committee,  however,  shall affect the finality of the discharge of the Employee
by  the  Company  or  an  Affiliate  in  any  manner.

          10.4     TAX  WITHHOLDING.  The  Company  or  any  Affiliate  shall be
                   ----------------
entitled  to  deduct from other compensation payable to each Eligible Person any
sums required by federal, state, or local tax law to be withheld with respect to
the  grant  or exercise of an Option or SAR, lapse of restrictions on Restricted
Stock,  or  award  of  Performance  Stock.  In  the alternative, the Company may
require  the  Eligible  Person  (or  other  person exercising the Option, SAR or
receiving the Stock) to pay the sum directly to the employer corporation. If the
Eligible  Person  (or other person exercising the Option or SAR or receiving the
Stock)  is required to pay the sum directly, payment in cash or by check of such
sums  for  taxes shall be delivered within 10 days after the date of exercise or
lapse of restrictions. The Company shall have no obligation upon exercise of any
Option or lapse of restrictions on Stock until payment has been received, unless
withholding  (or  offset  against  a cash payment) as of or prior to the date of
exercise  or  lapse  of  restrictions  is  sufficient to cover all sums due with
respect to that exercise.  The Company and its Affiliates shall not be obligated
to advise an Eligible Person of the existence of the tax or the amount which the
employer  corporation  will  be  required  to  withhold.

          10.5     WRITTEN  AGREEMENT.  Each  Option and Award shall be embodied
                   ------------------
in  a  written  agreement  which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of
this  Plan  and  shall  be  signed by the Eligible Person and by a member of the
Committee  on behalf of the Committee and the Company or an executive officer of
the  Company,  other  than  the  Eligible Person, on behalf of the Company.  The
agreement  may contain any other provisions that the Committee in its discretion
shall  deem  advisable  which  are not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan.

including,  without limitation, matters as to which he shall be finally adjudged
in  any  action, suit or proceeding to have been found to have been negligent in
the  performance  of  his  duty  as  a  member  of the Committee or the Board of
Directors.  However,  this  indemnity shall not include any expenses incurred by
any  member of the Committee and/or the Board of Directors in respect of matters
as  to  which  he shall be finally adjudged in any action, suit or proceeding to
have been guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of
his  duty as a member of the Committee and the Board of Directors.  In addition,
no right of indemnification under this Plan shall be available to or enforceable

after  institution  of any action, suit or proceeding, he shall have offered the
Company,  in  writing,  the  opportunity  to  handle  and defend same at its own
expense.  This right of indemnification shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,

the Company from establishing any other forms of incentive or other compensation
for  employees  of  the  Company  or  any  Affiliate.
