         4. Administration of the Plan.

                  (a) Procedure.

                           (i) Administration With Respect to Directors and
Officers. With respect to grants of Options to Employees or Consultants who are
also officers or directors of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A)
the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board to administer the Plan,
which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner (A) as to permit
transactions under the Plan to qualify for the exemption from Section 16(b) of
the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated thereunder ("Rule 16b-3")
and (B) to satisfy the legal requirements relating to the administration of
incentive stock option plans, of New Jersey corporate and

                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   4
securities laws and of the Code (the "Applicable Laws"). Once appointed, such
Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity 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 Plan, all to the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws and Rule
16b-3.

                           (ii) Multiple Administrative Bodies. If permitted by
Rule 16b-3, the Plan may be administered by different bodies with respect to
directors, non-director officers and Employees and Consultants who are neither
directors nor officers.

                           (iii) Administration With Respect to Consultants and
Other Employees. With respect to grants of Options to Employees or Consultants
who are neither directors nor officers of the Company, the Plan shall be
administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which
Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable
Laws. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated
capacity 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 Plan, all to the extent
permitted by the Applicable Laws.

                           (iv) Formula Awards to Directors.

                                    (A) On July 1 of each year during the term
of this Plan, each person who is then serving as a director of the Company shall
be granted a Non-Statutory Stock Option to purchase 10,000 Shares. Each such
Option shall vest and become exercisable in equal increments of 1/12 of the
Shares on the first day of each month thereafter, provided that the holder is
then serving as a director of the Company

                                    (B) Commencing July 1, 2001, on the date of
a director's first election or appointment to the Board, such director shall be
granted a Non-Statutory Stock Option to purchase a number of Shares equal to the
product of (i) 10,000 and (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number
of calendar months between the date of such election or appointment and the
following July 1 (with a fractional portion of a calendar month being treated as
a calendar month if it contains 15 days or more) and the denominator of which is
12. Each such Option shall vest and become exercisable on the first day of each
month thereafter, provided that the holder is then serving as a director of the
Company, in increments equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the number of
Shares of Optioned Stock by the number of calendar months described in the
preceding sentence.

                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>   5
                                    (C) A director who is first elected or
appointed to the Board after July 1, 2000, but before July 1, 2001 shall be
granted on July 1, 2001, a Non-Statutory Stock Option to purchase a number of
Shares equal to the product of (i) 10,000 and (ii) a fraction the numerator of
which is the number of calendar months between the date of such election or
appointment and the following July 1 (with a fractional portion of a calendar
month being treated as a calendar month if it contains 15 days or more) and the
denominator of which is 12. Each such Option shall vest and become exercisable
in full on July 1, 2001, provided that the holder is then serving as a director
of the Company.

                                    (D) Options granted pursuant to this Section
4(a)(iv) shall have a per share exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value
per share on the Date of Grant and shall, expire ten years from the Date of
Grant or on such earlier date as is provided in Section 7 hereof. Once an Option
granted pursuant to this Section, or any portion thereof, has become
exercisable, it shall remain exercisable regardless of whether or not the
director holding the Option later ceases to be a director of the Company.

                  (b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of
the Plan and in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the
Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its
discretion:

                           (i) to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock, in accordance with Section 2(l) of the Plan;

                           (ii) to select the Consultants and Employees to whom
Options may from time to time be granted hereunder;

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

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

                           (v) to approve forms of agreement for use under the
Plan;

                           (vi) to determine the terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Option granted hereunder
(including, but not limited to, the share price and any restriction or
limitation 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 Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion);

                           (vii) to determine whether and under what
circumstances an Option may be settled in cash under subsection 9(f) instead of
Common Stock;

                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   6
                           (viii) to determine whether, to what extent and under
what circumstances Common Stock and other amounts payable with respect to an
Option under this Plan 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); 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.

                  (c) Effect of Committee's Decision. All decisions,
determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and
binding on all Optionees and any other holders of any Options.

         5. Eligibility.

                  (a) Non-Statutory Stock Options may be granted to Employees
and Consultants and directors and officers who are not Employees or Consultants.
Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. An Employee or
Consultant who has been granted an Option may, if he is otherwise eligible, be
granted an additional Option or Options.

                  (b) Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as
either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Statutory 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 or any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds
$100,000, such excess Options shall be treated as Non-Statutory Stock Options.

                  (c) For purposes of Section 5(b), Incentive Stock 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 Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any right with
respect to continuation of employment or consulting relationship with the
Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his right or the Company's right
to terminate his employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or
without cause.

         6. Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to
occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the shareholders of the
Company as described in Section 18 of the Plan. It shall continue in effect for
a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 14 of the Plan.

                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>   7
         7. Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be the term stated in
the Option Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock
Option, the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant
thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the 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 Parent or Subsidiary,
the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or
such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.

         8. Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

                  (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
Board, but shall be subject to the following: In the case of an Incentive Stock
Option (i) granted to an Employee who, at the time of the 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; (ii) granted to any Employee, not
described in Section 8(a)(i), the per Share exercise price shall be no less than
100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

                  (b) 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 Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be
determined at the time of grant) and may consist entirely of (1) cash, (2)
check, (3) promissory note, (4) other Shares which (x) in the case of Shares
acquired upon exercise of an Option either have been owned by the Optionee for
more than six months on the date of surrender or were not acquired, directly or
indirectly, from the Company, and (y) 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, (5) authorization to the Company to retain from the
total number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised that number of Shares
having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price
for the total number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised, (6) delivery
of a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to
a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds
required to pay the exercise price, (7) delivery of an irrevocable subscription
agreement for the Shares which irrevocably obligates the option holder to take
and pay for the Shares not more than twelve months after the date of delivery of
the subscription agreement, (8) any combination of the foregoing methods of
payment, or (9) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance
of Shares to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws. In making its
determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Board shall
consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to
benefit the Company.

         9. Exercise of Option.

                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>   8
                  (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any
Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such
conditions as determined by the Board and set forth in the Option Agreement,
including performance criteria with respect to the Company and/or the Optionee,
and as shall be permissible under the terms of the Plan. 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 Board, consist
of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8(b) of the
Plan. 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, no right to vote or receive dividends or any
other rights as a shareholder 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.

                             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 Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as
to which the Option is exercised.

                  (b) Termination of Employment. In the event of termination of
an Optionee's consulting relationship or Continuous Status as an Employee with
the Company (as the case may be), such Optionee may, but only within ninety (90)
days (or such other period of time as is determined by the Board, with such
determination in the case of an Incentive Stock Option being made at the time of
grant of the Option and not exceeding ninety (90) days) after the date of such
termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise his Option to the extent
that Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To
the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of
such termination, or if Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so
entitled within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

                  (c) Disability of Optionee. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 9(b) above, in the event of termination of an Optionee's consulting
relationship or Continuous Status as an Employee as a result of his total and
permanent disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), Optionee may,
but only within twelve (12) months from the date of such termination (but in no
event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in
the Option Agreement), exercise the Option to the extent otherwise entitled to
exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that Optionee was not
entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if Optionee

                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>   9
does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

                  (d) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an
Optionee, the Option may be exercised, at any time within twelve (12) months
following the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration date of
the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), 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 the Optionee was entitled to exercise the
Option at the date of death. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to
exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if Optionee does not exercise
such Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate.

                  (e) 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 exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to
Plan transactions. Shares acquired pursuant to exercise of an Option by any
person who is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act may not be sold or
otherwise disposed of for a period of six (6) months following the Date of
Grant.

                  (f) Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer
to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares an Option previously granted, based
on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and
communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.

         10. Non-Transferability of Options. The Option 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.

         11. Stock Withholding to Satisfy Withholding Tax Obligations. At the
discretion of the Administrator, Optionees may satisfy withholding obligations
as provided in this paragraph. When an Optionee incurs tax liability in
connection with an Option, which tax liability is subject to tax withholding
under applicable tax laws, and the Optionee is obligated to pay the Company an
amount required to be withheld under applicable tax laws, the Optionee may
satisfy the withholding tax obligation by electing to have the Company withhold
from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option, if any, that number of
Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld.
The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the
date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax Date").

         All elections by an Optionee to have Shares withheld for this purpose
shall be made in writing in a form acceptable to the Administrator and shall be
subject to the following restrictions:

                                     - 9 -
<PAGE>   10
                  (a) the election must be made on or prior to the applicable
Tax Date;

                  (b) once made, the election shall be irrevocable as to the
particular Shares of the Option as to which the election is made;

                  (c) all elections shall be subject to the consent or
disapproval of the Administrator; and

                  (d) if the Optionee is subject to Rule 16b-3, the election
must comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 and shall be subject to
such additional conditions or restrictions as may be required thereunder to
qualify for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with
respect to Plan transactions.

         In the event the election to have Shares withheld is made by an
Optionee and the Tax Date is deferred under Section 83 of the Code because no
election is filed under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Optionee shall receive
the full number of Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised but such
Optionee shall be unconditionally obligated to tender back to the Company the
proper number of Shares on the Tax Date.

         12. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization or Merger. Subject to
any required action by the shareholders 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 Plan but as to
which no Options have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan
upon cancellation or 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 Board shall notify the Optionee at least fifteen (15) days prior to such
proposed action. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, the Option
will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. In
the event of a 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

                                     - 10 -

successor corporation. In the event that such successor corporation does not
agree to assume the Option or to substitute an equivalent option, the Board
shall, in lieu of such assumption or substitution, provide for the Optionee to
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, the Board shall notify the Optionee that the Option shall be
fully exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such
notice, and the Option will terminate upon the expiration of such period. For
the purposes of this paragraph, the Option shall be considered assumed if,
following the merger, the Option or right confers the right to purchase, for
each Share of stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the merger, the
consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in
the merger by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date
of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the
type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding
Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger
was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the
Board may, with the consent of the successor corporation and the participant,
provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option,
for each Share of stock subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of the
successor corporation or its Parent equal in Fair Market Value to the per share
consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of
assets.

         13. Time of Granting Options. The date of grant of an Option shall, for
all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination
granting such Option, or such other date as is determined by the Board. Notice
of the determination shall be given to each person to whom an Option is so
granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

         14. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

                  (a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time
amend, alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration,
suspension or discontinuation shall be made which would impair the rights of any
Optionee under any grant theretofore made, without Optionee's consent. In
addition, to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Rule 16b-3 under
the Exchange Act or with Section 422 of the Code (or any other applicable law or
regulation, including the requirements of the NASD or an established stock
exchange), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan 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 Plan shall not affect Options already granted and such
Options shall remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not been
amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and
the Board, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the
Company.

         15. 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. As a condition to the exercise of an
Option, the Company may require the person exercising such Option to represent
and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased
only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such
Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is
required by any of the aforementioned relevant provisions of law.

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

                  The 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.

         17. Agreements. Options shall be evidenced by written agreements in
such form as the Board shall approve from time to time.

         18. Shareholder Approval. Continuance of the Plan shall be subject to
approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or
after the date the Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained
in the degree and manner required under applicable state and federal law.

         19. Information to Optionees. The Company shall provide to each
Optionee, during the period for which such Optionee has one or more Options
outstanding, copies of all annual reports and other information which are
provided to all shareholders of the Company. The Company shall not be required
to provide such information if the issuance of Options under the Plan is limited
to key employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure their access
to equivalent information.
