-5-









 





     3.2 Authority of the Committee. It shall be the duty of the Committee to
administer the Plan in accordance with the Plan’s provisions. The Committee
shall have all powers and discretion necessary or appropriate to administer the
Plan and to control its operation, including, but not limited to, the power to
(a) determine which Employees (including Employees who are also Directors)
shall be granted Awards, (b) prescribe the terms and conditions of the Awards,
(c) interpret the Plan and the Awards, (d) adopt such procedures and subplans
as are necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by
Employees and Nonemployee Directors who are foreign nationals or employed
outside of the United States, (e) adopt rules for the administration,
interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith, (f)
interpret, amend or revoke any such rules, and (g) effect, at any time and from
time to time, an Exchange Program.



     3.3 Delegation by the Committee. The Committee, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions
as it may provide, may delegate all or any part of its authority and powers
under the Plan to one or more Directors or officers of the Company; provided,
however, that the Committee may not delegate its authority and powers (a) with
respect to Section 16 Persons, or (b) in any way which would jeopardize the
Plan’s qualification under Section 162(m) of the Code or Rule 16b-3.



     3.4 Decisions Binding. All determinations and decisions made by the
Committee, the Board, and any delegate of the Committee pursuant to the
provisions of the Plan shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons,
and shall be given the maximum deference permitted by law.



SECTION 4

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN




     4.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3,
the total number of Shares available for grant under the Plan shall not exceed
7,500,000 Shares granted under the Plan may be either authorized but unissued
Shares or treasury Shares.



     4.2 Lapsed Awards. If an Award is cancelled, terminates, expires, or
lapses for any reason (with the exception of the termination of a Tandem SAR
upon exercise of the related Option, or the termination of a related Option
upon exercise of the corresponding Tandem SAR), any Shares subject to such
Award again shall be available to be the subject of an Award, except as
determined by the Committee.



     4.3 Adjustments in Awards and Authorized Shares. In the event that any
dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other
securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock
split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,
repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other
change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares such that
an adjustment is determined by the Committee (in its sole discretion) to be
appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the
Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number and
class of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan, the number, class, and
price of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, and



-6-









 







the numerical limits of
Sections 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, 8.1.1, 9.1 and 10.1. Notwithstanding the preceding,
the number of Shares subject to any Award always shall be a whole number.



SECTION 5

STOCK OPTIONS




     5.1 Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan,
Options may be granted to Employees at any time and from time to time as
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall determine the number of Shares subject to each Option,
provided that during any Fiscal Year, no Participant shall be granted Options

the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock
Option.

possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Parent of the Company,

in substitution for options granted by their former employer. If such
substitute Options are granted, the Committee, in its sole discretion and

Section 5.8.4 regarding Incentive Stock Options).



     5.5 Exercisability of Options. Options granted under the Plan shall be
exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as
the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. After an Option is

     5.6 Payment. Options shall be exercised by the Participant’s delivery of
a notice of exercise to the Corporate Secretary of the Company (or its
designee), setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option
is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for the Shares. The notice
shall be given in the form and manner specified by the Company from time to
time.



          Upon the exercise of any Option, the Exercise Price shall be payable to
the Company in full in cash or its equivalent. The Committee, in its sole
discretion, also may permit exercise (a) by tendering previously acquired
Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to
the total Exercise Price, or (b) by any other means which the Committee, in its
sole discretion, determines to both provide legal consideration for the Shares,
and to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. As soon as practicable
after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment for the
Shares purchased, the Company shall deliver to the Participant (or the
Participant’s designated broker), Share certificates (which may be in book
entry form) representing such Shares.



     5.7 Restrictions on Share Transferability. The Committee may impose such
restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option as it

exchange or system upon which Shares are then listed or traded, or any blue sky
or state securities laws.

shall not exceed $100,000.



          5.8.2 Termination of Service. No vested Incentive Stock Option may be

ownership is attributed to the Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code,
owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all
classes of the stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Parent of
the Company, the Option may not be exercised after the expiration of five (5)

restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted
Stock with respect to which they were paid.

of the Company to terminate any Participant’s employment or service at any
time, with or without cause. For purposes of the Plan, transfer of employment

-15-









 





     11.3 Participation. No Employee shall have the right to be selected to
receive an Award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected
to receive a future Award.



     11.4 Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of
the Committee, or of the Board, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company against and from (a) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be
imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or
resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be
a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or
failure to act under the Plan or any Award Agreement, and (b) from any and all
amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval,
or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim,
action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give
the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same
before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf.
The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other
rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of
law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify
them or hold them harmless.



     11.5 Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with

assets. The transferability provisions provided in the preceding sentence
shall be effective only if expressly determined by the Committee after the
effective date of the Plan.



     11.7 Beneficiary Designations. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of
Section 11.6, after the Plan becomes effective, the Committee (in its sole
discretion) may determine that a Participant under the Plan may name a
beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom any vested but unpaid Award shall be paid
in the event of the Participant’s death. Each such designation shall revoke
all prior designations by the Participant and shall be effective only if given
in a form and manner



-16-









 







acceptable to the Committee. In the absence of any such
designation, any vested benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death
shall be paid to the Participant’s estate and, subject to the terms of the Plan

exercised by the administrator or executor of the Participant’s estate. The
provisions of this Section 11.7 shall be effective only if expressly determined
by the Committee after the effective date of the Plan.

beneficiary).

cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company shall have the
power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to
the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes
(including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with
