sales), or, if the Common Stock is not listed on the New York Stock Exchange,

3.             Stock Subject to the
Program.  Subject to the
provisions of Section 11 of the Program, the maximum aggregate number of shares
under the Program is 5,500,000 shares of Common Stock.  The shares may be authorized, but unissued,
or reacquired Common Stock.


 


If an Option should
expire or become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in
full, then such shares of Common Stock shall, unless the Program shall have
been terminated, become available for future grant or sale under the
Program.  Notwithstanding the above,
however, if shares of Common Stock are issued upon exercise of an Option and
later repurchased by the Company, such shares of Common Stock shall not become
available for future grant or sale under the Program.


 


4.             Administration of the
Program.


 


(a)           Procedure.  The Program shall be administered by (i) the
Board, if the Board may administer the Program in compliance with Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act, or any successor rule thereto (“Rule 16b-3”),
with respect to a plan intended to qualify under Rule 16b-3 as a discretionary
plan, or (ii) a Committee designated by the Board to administer the Program,
which Committee shall be constructed to permit the Program to comply with Rule
16b-3 with respect to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary
plan.  Once appointed, the Committee
shall continue to serve until otherwise directed by the Board.  From time to time the Board may increase the
size of the Committee and appoint additional members thereof, remove members
(with or without cause) and appoint new members in substitution therefor, fill
vacancies, however caused, and remove all members of the Committee and
thereafter directly administer the Program, all to the extent permitted by Rule
16b-3 with respect to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary
plan.


 


(b)           Authority.  Subject to the general purposes, terms, and
conditions of the Program and to the direction of the Board, the Committee, if
there be one, shall have full power to implement and carry out the Program
including, but not limited to, the following:


 


(i)            to select the officers, Consultants
and other key Employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries to whom Options may
from time to time be granted hereunder;


 


 


3





















 


(ii)           to determine whether and to what
extent Options are granted hereunder;


 


(iii)          to determine the number of shares of
Common Stock to be covered by each such Option granted hereunder;


 


(iv)          to approve forms of agreement for use
under the Program;


 


(v)           to determine the terms and
conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Program, of any Option
granted hereunder (including, but not limited to, the share price and any
restriction or limitation, or any vesting or exercise acceleration or waiver of
forfeiture restrictions regarding any Option and/or the shares of Common Stock
relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Committee shall
determine, in its sole discretion);


 


(vi)          to determine the form of payment that
will be acceptable consideration for exercise of an Option granted under the
program;


 


(vii)         to determine whether, to what extent
and under what circumstances Common Stock under this Program shall be deferred
either automatically or at the election of the participant (including providing
for and determining the amount (if any) of any deemed earnings on any deferred
amount during any deferral period);


 


(viii)        to determine the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock; and


 


(ix)           to reduce the exercise price of any
Option to the then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock covered by such Option shall have declined since the date the
Option was granted.


 


The Committee shall have
the authority to construe and interpret the Program, to authorize any person to
execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effectuate the
grant of an Option previously made by the Committee, to prescribe, amend and
rescind rules and regulations relating to the Program, and to make all other
determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the
Program.  All decisions, determinations
and interpretations of the Committee shall be final and binding on all Optionees
and any other holders of any Options granted under the Program.

5.             Eligibility.


 


(a)           Any Employee or Consultant of the
Company or a subsidiary whom the Committee deems to have the potential to
contribute to the future success of the Company shall be eligible to receive
Options under the Program; provided, however, that Incentive Stock Options may
be granted only to Employees.


 


(b)           Each Option shall be designated in
the written option agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory
Stock Option.  However, notwithstanding
such designations, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of the
shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by any Optionee during any calendar year (under
all plans of the Company) exceed $100,000, such Options shall be treated as
Nonstatutory Stock Options.


 


(c)           For purposes of Section 5(b), Options
shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the
fair market value of the shares shall be determined as of the time the Option
with respect to such shares is granted.


 


(d)           The Program shall not confer upon any
participant any right with respect to continuation of employment or consulting
relationship with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or
her right or the Company’s right to terminate his or her employment or
consulting relationship at any time.


 


6.             Term of Program.  The restatement of the Program shall become
effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors
or its approval by vote of the stockholders of the Company as described in
Section 17 of the Program.  It shall
continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under
Section 13 of the Program.


 


7.             Option Exercise Price and
Consideration of Shares.


 


(a)           The per share exercise price for the
shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be such price as is
determined by the Committee, and may be less than, equal to or greater than the
fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the Option is granted;
provided that in no event shall the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option
be less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant.  In the case of an Incentive Stock Option
granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant of such Incentive Stock
Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power
of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share
exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the fair market value per Share on
the date of grant.


 


(b)           The Option price, which shall be
determined by the Committee, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option shall in
no event be less than one hundred percent


 


 


 


5





















 


(100%) of the Fair Market
Value of the Common Stock at the time the Option is granted.  The Option agreement shall specify the number
of shares of Common Stock to which it pertains.


 


(c)           The consideration to be paid for the
shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of
payment, shall be determined by the Committee and may consist entirely of cash,
check, promissory note, other shares of Common Stock which (i) either have been
owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender or
were not acquired directly or indirectly, from the Company, and (ii) have a
Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise
price of the shares as to which said Option shall be exercised, or any
combination of such methods of payment, or such other consideration and method
of payment for the issuance of shares to the extent permitted under applicable
state corporation law; provided, however, that for Incentive Stock Options
granted prior to the effective date of the restatement of this Program, no
optionee shall be entitled to pay for shares to be issued upon exercise of such
Incentive Stock Options by exchanging shares of the Company which were previously
acquired as “statutory option stock,” as that term is defined in Section 424 of
the Code, until the applicable holding period, as prescribed by the Code, has
been satisfied.  In making its
determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Committee shall
consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to
benefit the Company.


 


8.             Options.


 


(a)           Term of Option.  The Committee, in its discretion, may grant
options to eligible participants and shall determine whether such Options shall
be Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options.  The term of each Option shall be ten (10)
years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in
the stock option agreement.  However, in
the case of an Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is
granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, the term of the
Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter
time as may be provided in the stock option agreement.


 


(b)           Exercise of Option.


 


(i)            Procedure for Exercise;
Rights as a Stockholder.  Any
Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such
conditions as determined by the Committee, including performance criteria with
respect to the Company and/or the Optionee, and shall be permissible under the
terms of the Program; provided, however, that an Incentive Stock Option granted
prior to January 1, 1987 shall not be exercisable while there is outstanding
any incentive stock option which was granted, before the granting of such
Incentive Stock Option, to the same Optionee to purchase stock of the Company
or any Subsidiary, or any predecessor corporation of such


 


 


6





















 


corporations.  For purposes of this provision, an incentive
stock option shall be treated as outstanding until such option is exercised in
full or expires by reason of lapse of time.


 


An Option may not be
exercised for a fraction of a Share.


 


An Option shall be deemed
to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the
Company in accordance with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to
exercise the Option and full payment for the shares with respect to which the
Option is exercised has been received by the Company.  Full payment may, as authorized by the
Committee, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under
Section 7(c) of the Program.  Until the
issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or
of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate
evidencing such shares, which issuance shall be made as soon as is practicable,
no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder
shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of
the Option.  The Company shall issue (or
cause to be issued) such stock certificate promptly upon exercise of the Option.  No adjustment will be made for a dividend or
other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock
certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 11 of the Program.


 


Exercise of an Option in
any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of shares which thereafter
may be available, both for purposes of the Program and for sale under the
Option, by the number of shares as to which the Option is exercised.


 


(ii)           Termination of Status as
an Employee or Consultant.  In
the event of termination of an Optionee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or
Consultant, such Optionee may, but only within such period of time not
exceeding three (3) months, as is determined by the Board, after the date of
such termination (but in no event later than the date of expiration of the term
of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise his or her
Option to the extent that he or she was entitled to exercise it at the date of
such termination.  To the extent that he
or she was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination,
or if he or she does not exercise such Option (which he or she was entitled to
exercise) within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate and any
unexercised shares shall be returned to the Program.


 


(iii)          Disability of Optionee.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
8(b)(ii) above, in the event of termination of an Optionee’s Continuous Status
as an Employee or Consultant, as a result of his or her total and permanent
disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, “Disability”), he or
she may, but only within one (1) year from the date of such termination (but in
no event later than the date of expiration of the term of such Option as set
forth in the Option Agreement), exercise his or her Option to the extent he or
she was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination.  To the extent that he or she was not entitled
to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if he or she does not
exercise such Option (which he or she was entitled to exercise) within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.


 


 


7





















 


(iv)          Death of Optionee.  Unless otherwise set forth in the Option
Agreement, in the event of the death of an Optionee:


 


(A)          during the term of the Option who is
at the time of his or her death an Employee or Consultant of the Company and
who shall have been in Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant since the
date of grant of the Option, the Option may be exercised, at any time within
one (1) year following the date of death, by the Optionee’s estate or by a
person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance,
to the extent that he or she was entitled to exercise it at the date of death;
or


 


(B)           within three (3) months after the
termination of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant for any reason
other than for cause or a voluntary termination initiated by the Optionee, the
Option may be exercised, at any time within one (1) year following the date of
death, by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to
exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the
right to exercise that had accrued at the date of termination.


 


(c)           Rule 16b-3.  Options granted to persons subject to Section
16(b) of the Exchange Act must comply with Rule 16b-3 and shall contain such
additional conditions or restrictions as may be required thereunder to qualify
for the maximum exemptions of the Exchange Act with respect to Program
transactions.


 


9.             Transferability of Options and
Rights.  Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee to the contrary, Options and Rights may not be
sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner
other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be
exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.  The Committee may, in the manner established
by the Committee, provide for the transfer, without payment of consideration,
of an Option or Right by the Optionee to the Optionee’s “immediate family”.  In such case, the Option or Right will be
exercisable only by such transferee. 
Following a transfer, any such Options or Rights shall continue to be
subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior
to the transfer.  For purposes of this
Section 9, the Optionee’s “immediate family” shall include any child,
stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse,
sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law,
daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive
relationships, any person sharing the Optionee’s household (other than a tenant
or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent of
the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the Optionee)
control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons
(or the Optionee) own more than fifty percent of the voting interests.  A transfer under a domestic relations order
in settlement of marital property rights is not a prohibited transfer for
value.

10.           Stock Withholding to
Satisfy Withholding Tax Obligations. 
When a participant incurs tax liability in connection with the exercise
of an Option which tax liability is subject to tax withholding under applicable
tax laws, and the participant is obligated to pay the Company an amount
required to be withheld under applicable tax laws, the participant may satisfy
the withholding tax obligation by electing to have the Company withhold from
the shares to be issued that number of shares having a Fair Market Value equal
to the amount required to be withheld determined on the date that the amount of
tax to be withheld is to be determined (the “Tax Date”).


 


All elections by a
participant to have shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in writing
in a form acceptable to the Committee and shall be subject to the following
restrictions:


 


(i)            the election must be made on or
prior to the applicable Tax Date;


 


(ii)           once made, the election shall be
irrevocable as to the particular shares as to which the election is made;


 


(iii)          all elections shall be subject to the
consent or disapproval of the Committee;


 


(iv)          if the participant is an executive
officer or Director of the Company or other person whose transactions in Common
Stock are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (collectively “Insiders”),
the election may not be made within six months of the date of grant of the
Option; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply in the event
that death or Disability of the participant occurs prior to the expiration of
the six-month period; and


 


(v)           if the participant is an Insider, the
election must be made either six months prior to the Tax Date (as determined in
accordance with Section 83 of the Code, as amended) or in the 10-day period
beginning on the third day following the release of the Company’s quarterly or
annual summary statement of sales or earnings.


 


In the event the election
to have shares withheld is made by a participant who is an Insider and the Tax
Date is deferred because no election is filed under Section 83(b) of the Code,
as amended, the participant shall receive the full number of shares with
respect to which the exercise occurs, but such participant shall be
unconditionally obligated to tender back to the Company the proper number of
shares on the Tax Date.


 


11.           Adjustments Upon Changes
in Capitalization or Merger. 
Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the
number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option and the
number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under
the Program but as to which no Options have yet been granted or which have been
returned to the Program upon cancellation or


 


9





















 


expiration of an Option,
as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding
Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the
number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse
stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common
Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of
Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company;
provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company
shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.”  Such adjustment shall be made by the Board,
whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and
conclusive.  Except as expressly provided
herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment
by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares
of Common Stock subject to an Option.


 


In the event of the
proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Option will terminate
immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise
provided by the Board.  The Board may, in
the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that any Option
shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Board and give each Optionee the
right to exercise his or her Option as to all or any part of the shares subject
to the Option, including as to shares as to which the Option would not
otherwise be exercisable.  In the event of
a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or
the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, the Option shall be
assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by such successor
corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the
Board determines, in the exercise of its sole discretion and in lieu of such
assumption or substitution, that the Optionee shall have the right to exercise
the Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including shares as to which the
Option would not otherwise be exercisable. 
If the Board makes an Option fully exercisable in lieu of assumption or
substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Board shall notify
the Optionee that the Option shall be fully exercisable for a period of thirty
(30) days from the date of such notice, and the Option will terminate upon the
expiration of such period.


 


12.           Time of Granting Options.  The date of grant of an Option shall, for all
purposes, be the date on which the Board or Committee makes the determination
granting such Option.  Notice of the
determination shall be given to each Employee or Consultant to whom an Option
is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.


 


13.           Amendment and Termination
of the Program.


 


(a)           Amendment and Termination.  The Board may at any time amend, alter,
suspend or discontinue the Program, but no amendment, alteration, suspension or
discontinuation shall be made which would impair the right of any participant
under any grant theretofore made, without his or her consent.  In addition, to the extent necessary and
desirable to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or Section 422 of
the


 


10





















 


Code (or any applicable
law or regulation), the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any
Program amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required.


 


(b)           Effect of Amendment or
Termination.  Any such
amendment or termination of the Program shall not affect Options already
granted and such Options shall remain in full force and effect as if this
Program had not been amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise
between the participant and the Board, which agreement must be in writing and
signed by the participant and the Company.


 


14.           Conditions Upon Issuance
of Shares.  Shares shall not
be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such
Option and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall
comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which
the shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of
counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.


 


15.           Reservation of Shares.  The Company, during the term of this Program,
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Program.


 


Inability of the Company
to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which
authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful
issuance and sale of any shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any
liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which
such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.


 


16.           Option Agreements.  Options shall be evidenced by an Incentive Stock
Option Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and by a
Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B.  Such agreements shall be subject to
amendment from time to time as shall be determined by the Board or the
Committee.


 


17.           Stockholder Approval.  Continuance of the Program shall be subject
to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve months before or
after (a) the date the Program is adopted and, (b) the date a restatement of
the Program requiring stockholder approval pursuant to applicable state and
federal law is adopted.  Such stockholder
approval and approval for any amendment to the Program requiring stockholder
approval pursuant to Section 13 of the Program, shall be obtained in the degree
and manner required under the applicable state and federal law.


 


18.           Information to Optionees.  The Company shall provide to each Optionee,
