                            2002 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

                    (Adopted by the Board on April 23, 2002)

SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE.

         The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors effective April 23,
2002. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company
and the creation of stockholder value by (a) encouraging Employees, Outside
Directors and Consultants to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b)
encouraging the attraction and retention of Employees, Outside Directors and
Consultants with exceptional qualifications and (c) linking Employees, Outside
Directors and Consultants directly to stockholder interests through increased
stock ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards
in the form of Restricted Shares, Stock Units, Options or stock appreciation
rights. The Plan is intended to be a "broad-based" plan for purposes of the
Nasdaq Listing Qualifications.

SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS.

         (a) "Affiliate" shall mean any entity other than a Subsidiary, if the
Company and/or one of more Subsidiaries own not less than 50% of such entity.

         (b) "Award" shall mean any award of an Option, a SAR, a Restricted
Share or a Stock Unit under the Plan.

         (c) "Board of Directors" shall mean the Board of Directors of the
Company, as constituted from time to time.

         (d) "Change in Control" shall mean the occurrence of either of the
following events:

                  (i) A change in the composition of the Board of Directors, as
         a result of which fewer than one-half of the incumbent directors are
         directors who either:

                           (A) Had been directors of the Company 24 months prior
                  to such change; or

                           (B) Were elected, or nominated for election, to the
                  Board of Directors with the affirmative votes of at least a
                  majority of the directors who had been directors of the
                  Company 24 months prior to such change and who were still in
                  office at the time of the election or nomination; or

                  (ii) Any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and
         14(d) of the Exchange Act) who by the acquisition or aggregation of
         securities, is or becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule
         13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of
         the Company representing twenty (20%) or more of the combined voting
         power of the Company's then outstanding securities ordinarily (and
         apart from rights accruing under special circumstances) having the
         right to vote at elections of directors (the "Base Capital Stock");

                                       1
<PAGE>

         except that any change in the relative beneficial ownership of the
         Company's securities by any person resulting solely from a reduction in
         the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Base Capital Stock, and
         any decrease thereafter in such person's ownership of securities, shall
         be disregarded until such person increases in any manner, directly or
         indirectly, such person's beneficial ownership of any securities of the
         Company. For purposes of this subsection (d)(ii), the term "person"
         shall exclude a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an
         employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or a Parent or
         Subsidiary.

A transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if its sole purpose is to

determining the amount payable upon exercise of such SAR.

         (l) "Fair Market Value" with respect to a Share, shall mean the market
price of one Share of Stock, determined by the Committee as follows:

                  (i) If the Stock was traded over-the-counter on the date in
         question but was not traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market, then the Fair
         Market Value shall be equal to the last transaction price quoted for
         such date by the OTC Bulletin Board or, if not so quoted, shall be
         equal to the mean between the last reported representative bid and
         asked prices quoted for such date by the principal automated
         inter-dealer quotation system on which the Stock is quoted or, if the
         Stock is not quoted on any such system, by the "Pink Sheets" published
         by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.;

         quoted for such date by The Nasdaq Stock Market;

                  (iii) If the Stock was traded on a United States stock
         exchange on the date in question, then the Fair Market Value shall be
         equal to the closing price reported for such date by the applicable
         composite-transactions report; and

                  (iv) If none of the foregoing provisions is applicable, then
         the Fair Market Value shall be determined by the Committee in good
         faith on such basis as it deems appropriate.

In all cases, the determination of Fair Market Value by the Committee shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons.

the participation of Outside Directors in the Plan shall be subject to the
following restrictions:

                  (i) Outside Directors shall be eligible for the grant of
         Restricted Shares, Stock Units, Options and SARs.

                  (ii) The Exercise Price of all Options granted to an Outside
         Director under this Section 4(b) shall be not less than 100% of the
         Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, payable in one of
         the forms described in Section 9(a), (b) and (d).

                  (iii) Unless otherwise stated in the Stock Option Agreement,
         each Option granted under Section 4(b)(ii) shall become exercisable in
         three equal annual installments on each of the first three
         anniversaries of the date of grant. Each Option that has been
         outstanding for not less than six months shall become exercisable in
         full in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the
         Company.

                                       6

                  (iv) Subject to Sections 4(b)(vii) and (viii), all Options
         granted to an Outside Director under this Section 4(b) shall terminate
         on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of such Options.

                  (v) If an Optionee's Service terminates for any reason other
         than death, then his or her Options shall expire on the earliest of the
         following occasions:

                           (A) The expiration date determined pursuant to
                  Section 4(b)(vi) above;

                           (B) The date 24 months after the termination of the
                  Optionee's Service, if the termination occurs because of his
                  or her Total and Permanent Disability; or

                           (C) The date six months after the termination of the
                  Optionee's Service for any reason other than Total and
                  Permanent Disability.

         The Optionee may exercise all or part of his or her Options at any time
         before the expiration of such Options under the preceding sentence, but
         only to the extent that such Options had become exercisable before his
         or her Service terminated. The balance of such Options shall lapse when
         the Optionee's Service terminates. In the event that the Optionee dies
         after the termination of his or her Service but before the expiration
         of his or her Options, all or part of such Options may be exercised at
         any time prior to their expiration by the executors or administrators
         of the Optionee's estate or by any person who has acquired such Options
         directly from him or her by bequest, inheritance or beneficiary
         designation under the Plan, but only to the extent that such Options
         had become exercisable before his or her Service terminated.

                  (vi) If an Optionee dies while he or she is in Service, then
         his or her Options shall expire on the earlier of the following dates:

                           (A) The expiration date determined pursuant to
                  Section 4(b)(vi) above; or

                           (B) The date 24 months after his or her death.

         All or part of the Optionee's Options may be exercised at any time
         before the expiration of such Options under the preceding sentence by
         the executors or administrators of his or her estate or by any person
         who has acquired such Options directly from him or her by bequest,
         inheritance or beneficiary designation under the Plan.

         (vii) No Option shall be transferable by the Optionee other than by
will, by written beneficiary designation or by the laws of descent and
distribution. An Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee
only by the Optionee or by the Optionee's guardian or legal representative. No
Option or interest therein may be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated
by the Optionee during his or her lifetime, whether by operation of law or
otherwise, or be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

                                       7

         (c) Limitation On Grants. No Employee or Consultant shall be granted
Options to purchase more than 200,000 Shares in any fiscal year of the Company,
except that Options granted to a new Employee or Consultant under the Plan in
the fiscal year of the Company in which his or her Service first commences shall
not cover more than 200,000 Shares (in each case subject to adjustment in
accordance with Section 12).

SECTION 5. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.

         (a) Basic Limitation. Shares offered under the Plan shall be authorized
but unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The maximum aggregate number of Options,
SARs, Stock Units and Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall not exceed
500,000 Shares, plus the additional Shares described in Sections (b) and (c),
but in no event more than 500,000 Shares. The limitation of this Section 5(a)
shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 12.

         (b) Annual Increase in Shares. As of January 1 of each year, commencing
with the year 2003, the aggregate number of Options, SARs, Stock Units and
Restricted Shares that may be awarded under the Plan shall automatically
increase by a number equal to the lesser of (i) 500,000 shares, (ii) 2% of the
outstanding shares of Stock of the Company on such date or (iii) a lesser amount
determined by the Board. The aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under
the Plan shall at all times be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 12. The
number of Shares that are subject to Options or other rights outstanding at any
time under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares which then remain
available for issuance under the Plan. The Company, during the term of the Plan,
shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the
requirements of the Plan.

         (c) Additional Shares. If Restricted Shares or Shares issued upon the
exercise of Options are forfeited, then such Shares shall again become available
for Awards under the Plan. If Stock Units, Options or SARs are forfeited or
terminate for any other reason before being exercised, then the corresponding
Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If Stock Units
are settled, then only the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in
settlement of such Stock Units shall reduce the number available under Section
5(a) and the balance shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If
SARs are exercised, then only the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in
settlement of such SARs shall reduce the number available in Section 5(a) and
the balance shall again become available for Awards under the Plan.

         (d) Dividend Equivalents. Any dividend equivalents paid or credited
under the Plan shall not be applied against the number of Restricted Shares,
Stock Units, Options or SARs available for Awards, whether or not such dividend
equivalents are converted into Stock Units.

SECTION 6. RESTRICTED SHARES

         (a) Restricted Share Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under
the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Share Agreement between the
recipient and the Company. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all
applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not
inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Share
Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

                                       8
<PAGE>

         (b) Payment for Awards. Subject to the following sentence, Restricted
Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration as the
Committee may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents,
full-recourse promissory notes, past services and future services. To the extent
that an Award consists of newly issued Restricted Shares, the Award recipient
shall furnish consideration with a value not less than the par value of such
Restricted Shares in the form of cash, cash equivalents, or past services
rendered to the Company (or a Parent or Subsidiary), as the Committee may
determine.

         (c) Vesting. Each Award of Restricted Shares may or may not be subject
to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction
of the conditions specified in the Restricted Share Agreement. The Committee may
include among such conditions the requirement that the performance of the
Company or a business unit of the Company for a specified period of one or more
years equal or exceed a target determined in advance by the Committee. The
Committee may specify that Such performance shall be determined by the Company's
independent auditors. The Committee shall determine such target not later than
the 90th day of such period. In no event shall the number of Restricted Shares
which are subject to performance based vesting conditions exceed 50% of the
Restricted Shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 12. A
Restricted Share Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of
the Participant's death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee
may determine, at the time of granting Restricted Shares of thereafter, that all
or part of such Restricted Shares shall become vested in the event that a Change
in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

         (d) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Restricted Shares
awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as
the Company's other stockholders. A Restricted Share Agreement, however, may
require that the holders of Restricted Shares invest any cash dividends received
in additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be
subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to
which the dividends were paid.

SECTION 7. OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS OR SALES.

         (a) Duration of Offers and Nontransferability of Rights. Any right to
acquire Shares under the Plan (other than an Option) shall automatically expire
if not exercised by the Offeree 30 days after the grant of such right was
communicated to him by the Committee. Such right shall not be transferable and
shall be exercisable only by the Offeree to whom such right was granted.

         (b) Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be determined by the
Committee at its sole discretion. The Purchase Price shall be payable in one of
the forms described in Sections 9(a), (b) or (c).

         (c) Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the purchase of Shares, the
Offeree shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the
satisfaction of any federal, state or local withholding tax obligations that may
arise in connection with such purchase.

                                       9
<PAGE>

         (d) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares awarded or sold
under the Plan shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of
repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the
Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable
Stock Purchase Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions
that may apply to all holders of Shares.

SECTION 8. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

         (a) Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan
shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the
Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of
the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not
inconsistent with the Plan and which the Committee deems appropriate for
inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock
Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Options may
be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee's other compensation.
A Stock Option Agreement may provide that a new Option will be granted
automatically to the Optionee when he or she exercises a prior Option and pays
the Exercise Price in a form described in Section 9.

         (b) Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the
number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the
adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 12. Options granted to an
Optionee in a single fiscal year of the Company shall not cover more than
250,000 Shares, except that Options granted to a new Employee or Consultant
under the Plan in the fiscal year of the Company in which his or her Service
first commences shall not pertain to more than 300,000 Shares.

         (c) Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the
Exercise Price. The Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the
Committee at its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in one of
the forms described in Section 9.

         (d) Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the
Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the
satisfaction of any federal, state or local withholding tax obligations that may
arise in connection with such exercise. The Optionee shall also make such
arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal,
state or local withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the
disposition of Shares acquired by exercising an Option.

         (e) Exercisability and Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify
the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The
Stock Option Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option. A Stock Option
Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the
Optionee's death, disability, or retirement or other events and may provide for
expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the
Optionee's service. Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an
Award may provide that the Options will not be exercisable unless the related
SARs are forfeited. The Committee at its sole discretion shall determine when
all or any installment of an Option is to become exercisable and when an Option
is to expire.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         (f) Nontransferability. During an Optionee's lifetime, his Option(s)
shall be exercisable only by him or her and shall not be transferable by
operation of law or agreement. In the event of an Optionee's death, his or her
Option(s) shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution.

         (g) Exercise of Options Upon Termination of Service. Each Stock Option
Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Optionee shall have the right
to exercise the Option following termination of the Optionee's Service with the
Company and its Subsidiaries, and the right to exercise the Option of any
executors or administrators of the Optionee's estate or any person who has
acquired such Option(s) directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance.
Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee,
need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may
reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.

         (h) Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the
time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become
exercisable as to all or part of the Shares subject to such Option in the event
that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

         (i) Leaves of Absence. An Employee's Service shall cease when such
Employee ceases to be actively employed by, or a consultant, director or adviser
to, the Company (or any subsidiary) as determined in the sole discretion of the
Board of Directors. For purposes of Options, Service does not terminate when an
Employee goes on a bona fide leave of absence, that was approved by the Company
in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued service crediting,
or when continued service crediting is required by applicable law. Service
terminates in any event when the approved leave ends, unless such Employee
immediately returns to active work. The Company determines which leaves count
toward Service, and when Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan.

         (j) No Rights as a Stockholder. An Optionee, or a transferee of an
Optionee, shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares
covered by his Option until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate for
such Shares. No adjustments shall be made, except as provided in Section 12.

         (k) Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options. Within the
limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding
options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding options (to the extent not
previously exercised), whether or not granted hereunder, in return for the grant
of new Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a
different exercise price. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an
Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair his rights or increase
his obligations under such Option.

         (l) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares issued upon exercise
of an Option shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of
repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the
Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable
Stock Option Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions
that may apply to all holders of Shares.

                                       11
<PAGE>

         (m) Buyout Provisions. The Committee may at any time (a) offer to buy
out for a payment in cash or cash equivalents an Option previously granted or
(b) authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out an Option previously granted, in
either case at such time and based upon such terms and conditions as the
Committee shall establish.

SECTION 9. PAYMENT FOR SHARES.

         (a) General Rule. The entire Exercise Price of Shares issued under the
Plan shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the
time when such Shares are purchased, except as provided in Sections 9(b) through
9(g) below.

         (b) Surrender of Stock. At the discretion of the Company and to the
extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in
part by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, Shares which have
already been owned by the Optionee or his representative for more than 6 months.
Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the new
Shares are purchased under the Plan. The Optionee shall not surrender, or attest
to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Exercise Price if such action
would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional
compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial reporting
purposes.

         (c) Services Rendered. At the discretion of the Committee, Shares may
be awarded under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company
or a Subsidiary prior to the award. If Shares are awarded without the payment of
a Purchase Price in cash, the Committee shall make a determination (at the time
of the award) of the value of the services rendered by the Offeree and the
sufficiency of the consideration to meet the requirements of Section 6(c).

         (d) Cashless Exercise. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed
by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell
Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price.

         (e) Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed
by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker or lender
to pledge Shares, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan
proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.

         (f) Promissory Note. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivering (on a form prescribed
by the Company) a full-recourse promissory note. However, the par value of the
Common Shares being purchased under the Plan, if newly issued, shall be paid in
cash or cash equivalents.

         (g) Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement
so provides, payment may be made in any other form that is consistent with
applicable laws, regulations and rules.

                                       12
<PAGE>

SECTION 10. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

         (a) SAR Agreement. Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be
evidenced by a SAR Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such SAR
shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any
other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the
various SAR Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. SARs
may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee's other
compensation.

         (b) Number of Shares. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of
Shares to which the SAR pertains and shall provide for the adjustment of such
number in accordance with Section 12. SARs granted to any Optionee in a single
calendar year shall in no event pertain to more than 200,000 Shares, except that
SARs granted to a new Employee or Consultant under the Plan in the fiscal year
of the Company in which his or her Service first commences shall not pertain to
more than 200,000 Shares. The limitations set forth in the preceding sentence
shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 12.

         (c) Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the Exercise
Price. A SAR Agreement may specify an Exercise Price that varies in accordance
with a predetermined formula while the SAR is outstanding.

         (d) Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date
when all or any installment of the SAR is to become exercisable. The SAR
Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR. A SAR Agreement may provide
for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee's death, disability
or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of
its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee's service. SARs may be
awarded in combination with Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs
will not be exercisable unless the related Options are forfeited. A SAR may be
included in an Option at the time of grant or thereafter. A SAR granted under
the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change
in Control.

         (e) Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the
time of granting a SAR or thereafter, that such SAR shall become fully
exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such SAR in the event that a
Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

         (f) Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Optionee (or any
person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall
receive from the Company (a) Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Shares and
cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount of cash and/or the Fair
Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate,
be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender)
of the Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price. If, on the date
when a SAR expires, the Exercise Price under such SAR is less than the Fair
Market Value on such date but any portion of such SAR has not been exercised or
surrendered, then such SAR shall automatically be deemed to be exercised as of
such date with respect to such portion.

                                       13
<PAGE>

         (g) Special Holding Period. To the extent required by Section 16 of the
Exchange Act or any rule thereunder, an SAR shall not be exercised for cash
unless both it and the related Option have been outstanding for more than six
months.

         (h) Special Exercise Window. To the extent required by Section 16 of
the Exchange Act or any rule thereunder, an SAR may only be exercised for cash
during a period which (a) begins on the third business day following a date when
the Company's quarterly summary statement of sales and earnings is released to
the public and (b) ends on the third business day following such date. This
Section 10(h) shall not apply if the exercise occurs automatically on the date
when the related Option expires, and the Committee may determine that it shall
not apply to limited SARs that are exercisable only in the event of a Change in
Control.

         (i) Modification or Assumption of SARs. Within the limitations of the
Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding SARs or may accept
the cancellation of outstanding SARs (whether granted by the Company or by
another issuer) in return for the grant of new SARs for the same or a different
number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price. The foregoing
notwithstanding, no modification of a SAR shall, without the consent of the
Optionee, may alter or impair his or her rights or obligations under such SAR.

SECTION 11. STOCK UNITS.

         (a) Stock Unit Agreement. Each grant of Stock Units under the Plan
shall be evidenced by a Stock Unit Agreement between the recipient and the
Company. Such Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan
and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan.
The provisions of the various Stock Unit Agreements entered into under the Plan
need not be identical. Stock Units may be granted in consideration of a
reduction in the recipient's other compensation.

         (b) Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the
form of Stock Units, no cash consideration shall be required of the Award
recipients.

         (c) Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Stock Units may or may not be
subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon
satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Unit Agreement. A Stock
Unit Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the
Participant's death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may
determine, at the time of granting Stock Units or thereafter, that all or part
of such Stock Units shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control
occurs with respect to the Company, except as provided in the next following
sentence.

         (d) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Stock Units shall have
no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Stock Unit awarded
under the Plan may, at the Committee's discretion, carry with it a right to
dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an
amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Share while the Stock Unit is
outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Stock Units.
Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form
of Shares, or in a combination of both. Prior to distribution, any dividend
equivalents which are not paid shall be subject to the same conditions and
restrictions (including without limitation, any forfeiture conditions) as the
Stock Units to which they attach.

                                       14
<PAGE>

         (e) Form and Time of Settlement of Stock Units. Settlement of vested
Stock Units may be made in the form of (a) cash, (b) Shares or (c) any
combination of both, as determined by the Committee. The actual number of Stock
Units eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the number included
in the original Award, based on predetermined performance factors. Methods of
converting Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based
on the average Fair Market Value of Shares over a series of trading days. Vested
Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. The distribution
may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to the Stock Units
have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to any later date. The
amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by
dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Stock Units is settled, the number of
such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 12.

         (f) Death of Recipient. Any Stock Units Award that becomes payable
after the recipient's death shall be distributed to the recipient's beneficiary
or beneficiaries. Each recipient of a Stock Units Award under the Plan shall
designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed
form with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the
prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Award recipient's death.
If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the
Award recipient, then any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the
recipient's death shall be distributed to the recipient's estate.

         (g) Creditors' Rights. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights
other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an
unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and
conditions of the applicable Stock Unit Agreement.

SECTION 12. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.

         (a) Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding
Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of a
dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material
effect on the price of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding
Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a
recapitalization, a spin-off or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make
such adjustments as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate in one or more
of:

                  (i) The number of Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and Stock
         Units available for future Awards under Section 5;

                  (ii) The limitations set forth in Sections 4(c), 8(b) and
         10(b);

                  (iii) The number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option
         and SAR;

                  (iv) The Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and SAR;
         or

                                       15
<PAGE>

                  (v) The number of Stock Units included in any prior Award
         which has not yet been settled.

Except as provided in this Section 12, a Participant shall have no rights by
reason of any issue by the Company of stock of any class or securities
convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares
of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase
or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.

         (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised
or settled, Options, SARs and Stock Units shall terminate immediately prior to
the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

         (c) Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a
merger or other reorganization, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the
agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement shall provide for:

                  (i) The continuation of the outstanding Awards by the Company,
         if the Company is a surviving corporation;

                  (ii) The assumption of the outstanding Awards by the surviving
         corporation or its parent or subsidiary;

                  (iii) The substitution by the surviving corporation or its
         parent or subsidiary of its own awards for the outstanding Awards;

                  (iv) Full exercisability or vesting and accelerated expiration
         of the outstanding Awards; or

                  (v) Settlement of the full value of the outstanding Awards in
         cash or cash equivalents followed by cancellation of such Awards.

         (d) Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 12, an
Optionee or Offeree shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or
consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or
any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.
Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or
Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option 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 structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell
or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

SECTION 13. DEFERRAL OF AWARDS.

         The Committee (in its sole discretion) may permit or require a
Participant to:

                                       16
<PAGE>

         a)       Have cash that otherwise would be paid to such Participant as
                  a result of the exercise of a SAR or the settlement of Stock
                  Units credited to a deferred compensation account established
                  for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the
                  Company's books;

         b)       Have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such
                  Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR
                  converted into an equal number of Stock Units; or

         c)       Have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such
                  Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR or
                  the settlement of Stock Units converted into amounts credited
                  to a deferred compensation account established for such
                  Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Company's
                  books. Such amounts shall be determined by reference to the
                  Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date when they
                  otherwise would have been delivered to such Participant.

A deferred compensation account established under this Section 13 may be
credited with interest or other forms of investment return, as determined by the
Committee. A Participant for whom such an account is established shall have no
rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Such an account
shall represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company and shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement between such
Participant and the Company. If the deferral or conversion of Awards is
permitted or required, the Committee (in its sole discretion) may establish
rules, procedures and forms pertaining to such Awards, including (without
limitation) the settlement of deferred compensation accounts established under
this Section 13.

SECTION 14. AWARDS UNDER OTHER PLANS.

         The Company may grant awards under other plans or programs. Such awards
may be settled in the form of Shares issued under this Plan. Such Shares shall
be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Shares issued in settlement of
Stock Units and shall, when issued, reduce the number of Shares available under
Section 5.

SECTION 15. PAYMENT OF DIRECTOR'S FEES IN SECURITIES.

         (a) Effective Date. No provision of this Section 15 shall be effective
unless and until the Board has determined to implement such provision.

         (b) Elections to Receive Options, Restricted Shares or Stock Units. An
Outside Director may elect to receive his or her annual retainer payments and/or
meeting fees from the Company in the form of cash, Options, Restricted Shares or
Stock Units, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Board. Such Options,
Restricted Shares and Stock Units shall be issued under the Plan. An election
under this Section 15 shall be filed with the Company on the prescribed form.

                                       17
<PAGE>

         (c) Number and Terms of Options, Restricted Shares or Stock Units. The
number of Options, Restricted Shares or Stock Units to be granted to Outside
Directors in lieu of annual retainers and meeting fees that would otherwise be
paid in cash shall be calculated in a manner determined by the Board. The terms
of such Options, Restricted Shares or Stock Units shall also be determined by
the Board.

SECTION 16. LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.

         Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and
delivery of such Shares complies with (or is exempt from) all applicable
requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities
laws and regulations and the regulations of any stock exchange on which the
Company's securities may then be listed, and the Company has obtained the
approval or favorable ruling from any governmental agency which the Company
determines is necessary or advisable.

SECTION 17. WITHHOLDING TAXES.

         (a) General. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local
or foreign law, a Participant or his or her successor shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax
obligations that arise in connection with the Plan. The Company shall not be
required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan until such
obligations are satisfied.

         (b) Share Withholding. The Committee may permit a Participant to
satisfy all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by
having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would
be issued to him or her or by surrendering all or a portion of any Shares that
he or she previously acquired. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market
Value on the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash.

SECTION 18. LIMITATION ON PARACHUTE PAYMENTS.

         (a) Scope of Limitation. This Section 18 shall apply to an Award unless
the Committee, at the time of making an Award under the Plan or at any time
thereafter, specifies in writing that such Award shall not be subject to this
Section 18. If this Section 18 applies to an Award, it shall supersede any
contrary provision of the Plan or of any Award granted under the Plan.

         (b) Basic Rule. In the event that the independent auditors most
recently selected by the Board (the "Auditors") determine that any payment or
transfer by the Company under the Plan to or for the benefit of a Participant (a
"Payment") would be nondeductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes
because of the provisions concerning "excess parachute payments" in Section 280G
of the Code, then the aggregate present value of all Payments shall be reduced
(but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount. For purposes of this Section 18, the
"Reduced Amount" shall be the amount, expressed as a present value, which
maximizes the aggregate present value of the Payments without causing any
Payment to be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code.

                                       18
<PAGE>

         (c) Reduction of Payments. If the Auditors determine that any Payment
would be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code, then
the Company shall promptly give the Participant notice to that effect and a copy
of the detailed calculation thereof and of the Reduced Amount, and the
Participant may then elect, in his or her sole discretion, which and how much of
the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the
aggregate present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall
advise the Company in writing of his or her election within 10 days of receipt
of notice. If no such election is made by the Participant within such 10-day
period, then the Company may elect which and how much of the Payments shall be
eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present
value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall notify the
Participant promptly of such election. For purposes of this Section 18, present
value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. All
determinations made by the Auditors under this Section 18 shall be binding upon
the Company and the Participant and shall be made within 60 days of the date
when a Payment becomes payable or transferable. As promptly as practicable
following such determination and the elections hereunder, the Company shall pay
or transfer to or for the benefit of the Participant such amounts as are then
due to him or her under the Plan and shall promptly pay or transfer to or for
the benefit of the Participant in the future such amounts as become due to him
or her under the Plan.

         (d) Overpayments and Underpayments. As a result of uncertainty in the
application of Section 280G of the Code at the time of an initial determination
by the Auditors hereunder, it is possible that Payments will have been made by
the Company that should not have been made (an "Overpayment") or that additional
Payments that will not have been made by the Company could have been made (an
"Underpayment"), consistent in each case with the calculation of the Reduced
Amount hereunder. In the event that the Auditors, based upon the assertion of a
deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or the
Participant that the Auditors believe has a high probability of success,
determine that an Overpayment has been made, such Overpayment shall be treated
for all purposes as a loan to the Participant which he or she shall repay to the
Company, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in
Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no amount shall be
payable by the Participant to the Company if and to the extent that such payment
would not reduce the amount subject to taxation under Section 4999 of the Code.
In the event that the Auditors determine that an Underpayment has occurred, such
Underpayment shall promptly be paid or transferred by the Company to or for the
benefit of the Participant, together with interest at the applicable federal
rate provided in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

         (e) Related Corporations. For purposes of this Section 18, the term
"Company" shall include affiliated corporations to the extent determined by the
Auditors in accordance with Section 280G(d)(5) of the Code.

SECTION 19. NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS.

         No provision of the Plan, nor any right or Option granted under the
Plan, shall be construed to give any person any right to become, to be treated
as, or to remain an Employee. The Company and its Subsidiaries reserve the right
to terminate any person's Service at any time and for any reason, with or
without notice.

                                       19

SECTION 20. DURATION AND AMENDMENTS.

         (a) Term of the Plan. The amended and restated Plan, as set forth
herein, shall terminate automatically on the 10th anniversary of date of Plan
and may be terminated on any earlier date pursuant to Subsection (b) below.

         (b) Right to Amend or Terminate the Plan. The Board of Directors may
amend the Plan at any time and from time to time. Rights and obligations under
any Option granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be materially impaired
by such amendment, except with consent of the person to whom the Option was
granted. An amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the
Company's stockholders only to the extent required by applicable laws,
regulations or rules.

         (c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No Shares shall be issued or
sold under the Plan after the termination thereof, except upon exercise of an
Option granted prior to such termination. The termination of the Plan, or any
amendment thereof, shall not affect any Share previously issued or any Option
previously granted under the Plan.

SECTION 21. EXECUTION.

         To record the adoption of the amended and restated Plan by the Board of
Directors effective as of April 23, 2002, the Company has caused its authorized
officer to execute the same.
