shares underlying such Rights (and shares related thereto) shall again be
available for issuance in connection with future Rights under the Plan.  Shares
acquired by the Company upon exercise of Rights pursuant to Section 6.2(e) or
Section 7.2(c) or Section 10.3 shall not increase the shares available for
issuance under the Plan.

                                   ARTICLE 4
                                  Eligibility

                                 Stock Options

      Section 5.1   General.  Stock Options may be granted alone or in addition
to other Rights granted under the Plan.  Each Stock Option granted under the
Plan shall be in such form and under such terms and conditions as the
Administrator may from time to time approve; provided, that such terms and
conditions are not inconsistent with the Plan.  The provisions of Stock Option
Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.  Stock Options
granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Statutory
Options.

      Section 5.2   Terms and Conditions of Stock Options.  Each Stock Option
granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by a written option agreement
between the Company and the Optionee (the "Stock Option Agreement"), which shall
comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

          (a) Number of Shares.  Each Stock Option Agreement shall state the
number of shares of Stock to which the Stock Option relates.

                                       5
<PAGE>

          (b) Type of Option.  Each Stock Option Agreement shall identify the
portion (if any) of the Stock Option which constitutes an Incentive Stock
Option.

          (c) Exercise Price.  Each Stock Option Agreement shall state the price
at which shares subject to the Stock Option may be purchased (the "Exercise
Price"), which shall with respect to Incentive Stock Options be not less than
100% of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock on the Date of Grant.  In
the case of Non-Statutory Options, the Exercise Price shall be determined in the
sole discretion of the Administrator; provided, however, that the Exercise Price
shall be no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock on the
Date of Grant of the Non-Statutory Option.  In the case of either an Incentive
Stock Option or a Non-Statutory Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder, the
Exercise Price shall not be less than 110% of such Fair Market Value.

          (d) Value of Shares.  The Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock
(determined as of the Date of Grant) with respect to which Incentive Stock
Options are first exercisable by an Option Holder under this Plan and all other
incentive option plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary in any
calendar year shall not, for such year, in the aggregate, exceed $100,000; but
this Section 6.2(d) shall not affect the right of the Administrator to
accelerate or otherwise alter the time of vesting of any Options granted as
Incentive Stock Options, even, if as a result thereof, some of such Options
cease being Incentive Stock Options.

          (e) Medium and Time of Payment.  The Exercise Price shall be paid in
full, at the time of exercise, in cash or cash equivalents or, with the approval
of the Administrator, in shares of Stock which have been held by the Optionee
for a period of at least six calendar months preceding the date of surrender and
which have a Fair Market Value equal to the Exercise Price, or in a combination
of cash and such shares, and may be effected in whole or in part (i) with monies
received from the Company at the time of exercise as a compensatory cash
payment; or (ii) to the extent that the Exercise Price exceeds the par value of
the shares so purchased, with monies borrowed from the Company in accordance
with Section 10.5.

          (f) Term and Exercise of Stock Options.  Stock Options shall be
exercisable over the exercise period at the times the Administrator may
determine, as reflected in the related Stock Option Agreements.  The exercise
period of any Stock Option shall be determined by the Administrator, but shall
not exceed ten years from the Date of Grant of the Stock Option.  In the case of
an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder, the exercise
period shall be determined by the Administrator, but shall not exceed five years
from the Date of Grant of the Stock Option.  The exercise period shall be
subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of either a Special
Terminating Event, as provided in Section 10.6, or the Termination of
Employment, as provided in Section 10.7.  A Stock Option may be exercised, as to
any or all full shares of Stock as to which the Stock Option has become
exercisable, by giving written notice of such exercise to the Company.

                                Purchase Rights

      Section 6.1   General.  Purchase Rights may be granted alone or in
addition to other Rights under the Plan.  Each sale of Stock under this Article
7 shall be in such form and under such terms and conditions as the Administrator
shall from time to time approve; provided, that such terms and conditions are
not inconsistent with the Plan.  The provisions of Stock Purchase Agreements
entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

      Section 6.2   Terms and Conditions of Purchase Rights.  Each Purchase
Right granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by a written stock
purchase agreement between the Company and the Offeree (the "Stock Purchase
Agreement"), which shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and
conditions:

          (a) Number of Shares.  Each Stock Purchase Agreement shall state the
number of shares of Stock which may be purchased pursuant to such agreement.

          (b) Purchase Price.  Each Stock Purchase Agreement shall state the
price at which the Stock subject to such Stock Purchase Agreement may be
purchased (the "Purchase Price"), which, with respect to Stock Purchase Rights,
shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator; provided,
however, that the Purchase Price shall be no less than 85% of the Fair Market
Value of the shares of Stock on either the Date of Grant or the Date of Purchase
of the Purchase Right.  In the case of a Purchase Right granted to a Ten Percent
Shareholder, the Purchase Price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market
Value of the shares of Stock on either the Date of Grant or the Date of Purchase
of the Purchase Right.

          (c) Medium and Time of Payment.  The Purchase Price shall be paid in
full, at the time of exercise, in cash or cash equivalents or, with the approval
of the Administrator, in shares of Stock which have been held by the Offeree for
a period of at least six calendar months preceding the date of surrender and
which have a Fair Market Value equal to the Purchase Price or in a combination
of cash or cash equivalents and such shares, and may be effected in whole or in
part (i) with monies received from the Company at the time of exercise as a
compensatory cash payment; or (ii) to the extent the purchase price exceeds the
par value of the shares so purchased, with monies borrowed from the Company in
accordance with Section 10.5 of the Plan.

                                   ARTICLE 7
                                  Adjustments

      Section 7.1   Effect of Certain Changes.

          (a) Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc..  If there is any change in the
number of outstanding shares of Stock through the declaration of Stock dividends
or through a recapitalization resulting in Stock splits, or combinations or
exchanges of the outstanding shares, (i) the number of shares of Stock available
for Rights, (ii) the number of shares covered by outstanding Rights and (iii)
the Exercise Price or Purchase Price of any Stock Option or Purchase Right, in
effect

                                       7
<PAGE>

prior to such change, shall be proportionately adjusted by the Administrator to
reflect any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Stock;
provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from the adjustment
shall be eliminated.

          (b) Liquidating Event.  In the event of the proposed dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, or in the event of any corporate separation or
division, including, but not limited to, a split-up, split-off or spin-off
(each, a "Liquidating Event"), the Administrator may provide that the holder of
any Right then exercisable shall have the right to exercise such Right (at the
price provided in the Rights) subsequent to the Liquidating Event, and for the
balance of its term, solely for the kind and amount of shares of Stock and other
securities, property, cash or any combination thereof receivable upon such
Liquidating Event by a holder of the number of shares of Stock for or with
respect to which such Right might have been exercised immediately prior to such
Liquidating Event; or the Administrator may provide, in the alternative, that
each Right granted under the Plan shall terminate as of a date to be fixed by
the Board; provided, however, that not less than 30 days written notice of the
date so fixed shall be given to each Rights holder and if such notice is given,
each Rights holder shall have the right, during the period of 30 days preceding
such termination, to exercise the Right as to all or any part of the shares of
Stock covered thereby, without regard to any installment or vesting provisions
in his or her agreement applicable to such Rights, on the condition, however,
that the Liquidating Event actually occurs; and if the Liquidating Event
actually occurs, such exercise shall be deemed effective (and, if applicable,
the Rights holder shall be deemed a shareholder with respect to the Rights
exercised) immediately preceding the occurrence of the Liquidating Event, or the
date of record for shareholders entitled to share in such Liquidating Event, if
a record date is set.

          (c) Merger or Consolidation.  In the case of any capital
reorganization, any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in
par value or recapitalization described in Section 8.1(a) of the Plan), or the
consolidation of the Company with, or a sale of substantially all of the assets
of the Company to (which sale is followed by a liquidation or dissolution of the
Company), or merger of the Company with another person (a "Reorganization
Event"), the Administrator shall be obligated to determine whether the
Reorganization Event shall constitute a "Liquidity Event," and to deliver to
Rights holders at least 15 days prior to such Reorganization Event (or at least
15 days prior to the date of record for shareholders entitled to share in the
securities or property distributed in the Reorganization Event, if a record date
is set) a notice which shall (i) indicate whether the Reorganization Event is a
Liquidity Event, (ii) indicate whether the Liquidity Event shall result in the
acceleration of the vesting provisions of the applicable Right, and (iii) advise
the Rights holder of his or her rights pursuant to the agreement applicable to
such Rights.  If the Reorganization Event is determined to be a Liquidity Event,
in its sole and absolute discretion, the surviving corporation may, but shall
not be obligated to, tender stock options to the Rights holder with respect to
the surviving corporation which shall contain terms and provisions that
substantially preserve the rights and benefits of the applicable Right, and (ii)
in the event that no stock options have been tendered by the surviving
corporation pursuant to the terms of item (i) immediately above, the  Rights
holder shall have the right exercisable during a ten-day period ending on the
fifth day prior to the Reorganization Event (or ending on the fifth day prior to
the date of record for shareholders entitled to share in the securities or
property distributed in the Reorganization Event, if a record date is set) to
exercise his or her

                                       8
<PAGE>

Rights in whole or in part, and if so determined by the Administrator, without
regard to any installment provisions under his or her agreement applicable to
such Rights, on the condition, however, that the Reorganization Event is
actually effected; and if the Reorganization Event is actually effected, such
exercise shall be deemed effective (and, if applicable, the Rights holder shall
be deemed a shareholder with respect to the Rights exercised) immediately
preceding the effective time of the Reorganization Event (or on the date of
record for shareholders entitled to share in the securities or property
distributed in the Reorganization Event, if a record date is set). If the
Reorganization Event is not determined to be a Liquidity Event, the Rights
holder shall thereafter be entitled upon exercise of the Right to purchase the
kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the
surviving corporation receivable upon such event by a holder of the number of
shares of the Common Stock which the Right entitles the Rights holder to
purchase from the Company immediately prior to such event, and in any such case,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions set
forth in this Plan with respect to the Rights holder's rights and interests
thereafter, to the end that the provisions set forth in the agreement applicable
to such Rights (including the specified changes and other adjustments to the
Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares or
other property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of the Right.

          (d) Where Company Survives.  Section 8.1(c) shall not apply to a
merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation,
unless shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for securities other than
publicly-traded common stock, cash (excluding cash in payment for actual shares)
or any other thing of value.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in case of
any consolidation or merger of another corporation into the Company in which the
Company is the surviving corporation and in which there is a reclassification or
change (including a change to the right to receive an amount of money payable by
cash or cash equivalent or other property) of the shares of Stock (other than a
change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a
subdivision or combination, but including any change in such shares into two or
more classes or series of shares), the Administrator may provide that the holder
of each Right then exercisable shall have the right to exercise such Right
solely for the kind and amount of shares of Stock and other securities
(including those of any new direct or indirect Parent of the Company), property,
cash or any combination thereof receivable upon such reclassification change,
consolidation or merger by the holder of the number of shares of Stock for which
such Right might have been exercised.

          (e) Surviving Corporation Defined.  The determination as to which
party to a merger or consolidation is the "surviving corporation" shall be made
on the basis of the relative equity interests of the shareholders in the
corporation existing after the merger or consolidation, as follows: if
immediately following any merger or consolidation the holders of outstanding
voting securities of the Company immediately prior to the merger or
consolidation own equity securities possessing more than 50% of the voting power
of the corporation existing following the merger or consolidation, then for
purposes of this Plan, the Company shall be the surviving corporation. In all
other cases, the Company shall not be the surviving corporation.  In making the
determination of ownership by the shareholders of a corporation immediately
after the merger or consolidation, of equity securities pursuant to this Section
8.1(e), equity securities which the shareholders owned immediately before the
merger or consolidation as shareholders of another

                                       9
<PAGE>

party to the transaction shall be disregarded. Further, for purposes of this
Section 8.1(e) only, outstanding voting securities of a corporation shall be
calculated by assuming the conversion of all equity securities convertible
(immediately or at some future time) into shares entitled to vote.

          (f) Par Value Changes.  In the event of a change in the Stock of the
Company as presently constituted which is limited to a change of all of its
authorized shares with par value, into the same number of shares without par
value, or a change in the par value, the shares resulting from any such change
shall be "Stock" within the meaning of the Plan.

      Section 7.2   Decision of Administrator Final.  To the extent that the
foregoing adjustments relate to stock or securities of the Company, such
adjustments shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that
respect shall be final, binding and conclusive; provided, however, that each
Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall not be adjusted
without the prior consent of the Holder thereof in a manner that causes such
Stock Option to fail to continue to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option.

      Section 7.3   No Other Rights.  Except as hereinbefore expressly provided
in this Article 8, no Rights holder shall have any rights by reason of any
subdivision or consolidation of shares of Stock or the payment of any dividend
or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Stock of any class
or by reason of any Liquidating Event, merger, or consolidation of assets or
stock of another corporation, or any other issue by the Company of shares of
stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class;
and except as provided in this Article 8, none of the foregoing events shall
affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the
number or price of shares of Stock subject to Rights.  The grant of a Right
pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the
Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of
its capital or business structures or to merge or to consolidate or to dissolve,
liquidate or sell, or transfer all or part of its business or assets.

      Section 7.4   No Rights as Shareholder.  Except as specifically provided
in this Article 8, a Rights holder or a transferee of a Right shall have no
rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by the Rights until
the date of the issuance of a Stock certificate to him or her for such shares,
and no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary,
whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions of other rights
for which the record date is prior to the date such Stock certificate is issued,
except as provided in Section 8.1(b) or 8.1(c).

                                   ARTICLE 8
                           Amendment and Termination

     The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment,
alteration or discontinuation shall be made which would impair the rights of a
Participant under any Right theretofore granted without such Participant's
consent, or which without the approval of the shareholders would:

                                       10
<PAGE>

          (a) except as provided in Article 8, materially increase the total
number of shares of Stock reserved for the purposes of the Plan;

          (b) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants or
Eligible Persons under the Plan; or

          (c) materially modify the requirements for eligibility under the Plan.

     The Administrator may amend the terms of any award theretofore granted,
prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to Article 3, no such amendment
shall impair the rights of any holder without his or her consent.

                                   ARTICLE 9
                               General Provisions

      Section 9.1   General Restrictions.

          (a) No View to Distribute.  The Administrator may require each person
acquiring shares of Stock pursuant to the Plan to represent to and agree with
the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view
towards distribution thereof.  The certificates for such shares may include any
legend which the Administrator deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on
transfer.

          (b) Legends.  All certificates for shares of Stock delivered under the
Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the
Administrator may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon
which the Stock is then listed and any applicable federal or state securities
laws, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such
certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

      Section 9.2   Other Compensation Arrangements.  Nothing contained in this
Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation
arrangements, subject to shareholder approval if such approval is required; and
such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in
specific cases.

      Section 9.3   Disqualifying Dispositions; Withholding Taxes.

          (a) Disqualifying Disposition.  Employee agrees that should he or she
make a "disposition" (as defined in the Code) of all or any of the Purchased
Shares within two years from the date of grant of the Option or within one year
after the issuance of such Purchased Shares, he or she shall immediately advise
the Company in writing as to the occurrence of the sale and the price realized
upon the sale of such Purchased Shares.  Employee agrees that he or she shall
maintain all Purchased Shares in his or her name so long as he or she maintains
beneficial ownership of such Purchased Shares.

                                       11
<PAGE>

          (b) Withholding Required.  Each Participant shall, no later than the
date as of which the value derived from a Right first becomes includable in the
gross income of the Participant for income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or
make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any
federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with
respect to the Right or its exercise.  The obligations of the Company under the
Plan shall be conditioned upon such payment or arrangements and the Participant
shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to request that the
Company deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the
Participant.

          (c) Withholding Right.  The Administrator may, in its discretion,
grant a Rights holder the right (a "Withholding Right") to elect to make such
payment by irrevocably requiring the Company to withhold from shares issuable
upon exercise of the Right that number of full shares of Common Stock having a
Fair Market Value on the Tax Date (as defined below) equal to the amount (or
portion of the amount) required to be withheld.  The Withholding Right may be
granted with respect to all or any portion of the Right.

          (d) Exercise of Withholding Right.  To exercise a Withholding Right,
the Rights holder must follow the election procedures set forth below, together
with such additional procedures and conditions as may be set forth in the
related Rights agreement or otherwise adopted by the Administrator:

               (i) The Rights holder must deliver to the Company his or her
     written notice of election (the "Election") to have the Withholding Right
     apply to all (or a designated portion) of his or her Right.

               (ii)  Unless disapproved by the Administrator as provided in
     Subsection (iii) below, the Election once made will be irrevocable.

               (iii)  no Election is valid unless the Administrator consents to
the Election; the Administrator has the right and power, in its sole discretion,
with or without cause or reason therefor, to consent to the Election, to refuse
to consent to the Election, or to disapprove the Election; and if the
Administrator has not consented to the Election on or prior to the date that the
amount of tax to be withheld is, under applicable federal income tax laws, fixed
and determined by the Company (the "Tax Date"), the Election will be deemed
approved.

               (iv)  If the Rights holder on the date of delivery of the
     Election to the Company is a Section 16(b) Person, the following additional
     provisions will apply:

                     (A) the Election cannot be made during the six calendar
     month period commencing with the date of the grant of the Withholding Right
     (even if the Right to which such Withholding Right relates has been granted
     prior to such date); provided, that this Subsection (A) is not applicable
     to any Rights holder at any time subsequent to the death, Disability or
     Retirement of the Rights holder;

                                       12
<PAGE>

                     (B) the Election can only be made on a date which is six
                calendar months or more prior to the Tax Date; and

                     (C) notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
                10.3(d)(iv), no Section 16(b) Person shall have the right to
                make any Election prior to the time that the Company has been
                subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(a) of the
                Exchange Act for at least a year and has filed all reports and
                statements required to be filed pursuant to that Section for
                that year.

             (e) Effect.  If the Administrator consents to an Election of a
Withholding Right:

               (i) Upon the exercise of the Right (or any portion thereof) to
     which the Withholding Right relates, the Company will withhold from the
     shares otherwise issuable that number of full shares of Stock having an
     actual Fair Market Value equal to the amount (or portion of the amount, as
     applicable) required to be withheld under applicable federal and/or state
     income tax laws as a result of the exercise; and

               (ii)  if the Rights holder is then a Section 16(b) Person who has
     made an Election, the related Right may not be exercised, nor may any
     shares of Stock issued pursuant thereto be sold, exchanged or otherwise
     transferred, if the result of such exercise, or such transaction, would
     cause the Tax Date to be less than six full calendar months following the
     date of the Election.

      Section 9.4   Indemnification.  In addition to such other rights of
indemnification as they may have as Directors or members of the Committee, and
to the extent allowed by applicable law, the Administrators shall be indemnified
by the Company against the reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees,
actually incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding or in
connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any one of them may be
party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection
with the Plan or any option granted under the Plan, and against all amounts paid
by them in settlement thereof (provided that the settlement has been approved by
the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) or paid by them
in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in
relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or
proceeding that such Administrator did not act in good faith and in a manner
which such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the
Company, and in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reason to believe that
the conduct complained of was unlawful; provided, however, that within 60 days
after institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, such Administrator
shall, in writing, offer the Company the opportunity at its own expense to
handle and defend such action, suit or proceeding.

      Section 9.5   Loans.  The Company may make loans to Optionees and Offerees
as the Administrator, in its discretion, may determine in connection with the
exercise of outstanding Stock Options and Purchase Rights granted under the
Plan.  Such loans shall (i) be evidenced by promissory notes entered into by the
holders in favor of the Company; (ii) be subject to the terms

                                       13
<PAGE>

and conditions set forth in this Section 10.5 and such other terms and
conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Administrator shall
determine; and (iii) bear interest, if any, at such rate as the Administrator
shall determine. In no event may the principal amount of any such loan exceed
the Exercise Price or the Purchase Price less the par value of the shares of
Stock covered by the Stock Option or Purchase Right, or portion thereof,
exercised by the Optionee or Offeree. The initial term of the loan, the schedule
of payments of principal and interest under the loan, the extent to which the
loan is to be with or without recourse against the holder with respect to
principal and applicable interest and the conditions upon which the loan will
become payable in the event of the holder's termination of employment shall be
determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that the term of the loan,
including extensions, shall not exceed 10 years. Unless the Administrator
determines otherwise, when a loan shall have been made, shares of Stock having a
Fair Market Value at least equal to the principal amount of the loan shall be
pledged by the holder to the Company as security for payment of the unpaid
balance of the loan and such pledge shall be evidenced by a pledge agreement,
the terms of which shall be determined by the Administrator, in its discretion;
provided, however, that each loan shall comply with all applicable laws,
regulations and rules of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
and any other governmental agency having jurisdiction.

      Section 9.6   Special Terminating Events.  If a Special Terminating Event
occurs, all Rights theretofore granted to such Rights holder may, unless earlier
terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised by the Rights holder or
by his or her estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise such
Right by bequest or inheritance or otherwise by reason of the death or
Disability of the Rights holder, at any time within one year after the date of
the Special Terminating Event.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive
Stock Option shall only be exercisable at any time within three months after the
date of Retirement or termination of employment of an Optionee.

      Section 9.7   Termination of Employment.  Except as provided in this
Section 10.7, no Right may be exercised unless the Rights holder is then a
Director of the Company, or in the employ of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary, or rendering services as a consultant to the Company or any Parent
or Subsidiary, and unless he or she has remained continuously so employed or
engaged since the Date of Grant.  If the employment or services of a Rights
holder shall terminate (other than by reason of a Special Terminating Event),
all Rights previously granted to the Rights holder which are exercisable at the
time of such termination may be exercised for the period ending 90 days after
such termination, unless otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement or
Stock Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that no Right may be exercised
following the date of its expiration.  Nothing in the Plan or in any Right
granted pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon an employee any right to continue
in the employ of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary or interfere in any way
with the right of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary to terminate such
employment at any time.

      Section 9.8   Non-Transferability of Rights.  Each Stock Option Agreement
and Stock Purchase Agreement shall provide that the Rights granted under the
Plan shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution, and the Rights may be exercised,

                                       14
<PAGE>

during the lifetime of the Rights holder, only by the Rights holder or by his or
her guardian or legal representative.

      Section 9.9   Regulatory Matters.  Each Stock Option Agreement and Stock
Purchase Agreement shall provide that no shares shall be purchased or sold
thereunder unless and until (i) any then applicable requirements of state or
federal laws and regulatory agencies shall have been fully complied with to the
satisfaction of the Company and its counsel; and (ii) if required to do so by
the Company, the Optionee or Offeree shall have executed and delivered to the
Company a letter of investment intent in such form and containing such
provisions as the Board or Committee may require.

      Section 9.10   Recapitalizations.  Each Stock Option Agreement and Stock
Purchase Agreement shall contain provisions required to reflect the provisions
of Article 8.

      Section 9.11  Delivery.  Upon exercise of a Right granted under this Plan,
the Company shall issue Stock or pay any amounts due within a reasonable period
of time thereafter.  Subject to any statutory obligations the Company may
otherwise have, for purposes of this Plan, thirty days shall be considered a
reasonable period of time.

      Section 9.12  Rule 16b-3.  With respect to persons subject to Section 16
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), transactions under
this plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or
its successors under the Exchange Act.  To the extent any provision of the plan
or action by the Administrator fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and
void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Administrator.

      Section 9.13  Other Provisions.  The Stock Option Agreements and Stock
Purchase Agreements authorized under the Plan may contain such other provisions
not inconsistent with this Plan, including, without limitation, restrictions
upon the exercise of the Rights, as the Administrator may deem advisable.

                                   ARTICLE 10
                             Effective Date of Plan

     The Plan shall become effective on the date on which the Plan is adopted by
the Board, subject to approval by the Company's shareholders, which approval
must be obtained within one year from the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.

                                   ARTICLE 11
                                  Term of Plan

but Rights theretofore granted may extend beyond that date.

     The Company will cause a report to be sent to each Rights holder not later
