3. Administration of Plan.

     (a) Procedure.  The Plans shall be administered by the Board.

     The Board may appoint a Committee consisting of not less than two (2)
members of the Board to administer one or both of the Plans on behalf of the
Board, subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe. 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 of the Committee, and
thereafter, directly administer the Plans. Any references herein to the Board
shall refer to the Committee, if one is appointed, to the extent of the
Committee's authority.

     (b) Limitations on Members of Board.  Members of the Board who are either
eligible for options or have been granted Options may vote on any matters
affecting the administration of the Plans or the grant of any Options pursuant
to the Plans; except that no such member shall act in connection with an Option
to himself or herself, but any such member may be counted in determining the
existence of a quorum at any meeting of the Board during which action is taken
with respect to Options of such member.

     (c) Powers of the Board.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan the Board
shall have the authority, in its discretion, to make all determinations
necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plans, including without
limitation:

       (i) to determine, upon review of relevant information, the then fair
market value per share of the Common Stock;

       (ii) to determine the exercise price of the Options to be granted,
subject to the provisions of Paragraph 8 of this Plan document;

       (iii)  to determine the Employees to whom, and the time or times at
which, Options shall be granted, and the number of shares of Optioned Stock to
be represented by each Option;

       (iv) to determine whether Options granted hereunder shall be granted
under Plan A as Incentive Options or Plan B as Non-statutory Options;

       (v)  to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to
the Plans;

       (vi)  to determine the terms and provisions of each Option granted under
the Plans (which need not be identical) and to modify or amend each Option (with
or without consent of the Optionee, if necessary);

       (vii)  to accelerate the exercise date of any Option;

       (viii) to construe and interpret the Plans, the Option Agreements, Stock
Purchase Agreements and any other agreements provided for hereunder; and
<PAGE>
 
       (ix)  to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any
instrument required to effectuate the grant of an Option previously granted by
the Board or to take such other actions as may be necessary or advisable with
respect to the Company's rights pursuant to the Option, Stock Purchase Agreement
or other agreement approved hereunder.

     (d)  Effect of the Board's or Committee's Decision.  All decisions,
determinations and interpretations of the Board or the Committee shall be final
and binding on all Optionees and any other proper holders of any Options granted
under the Plan.

4.  Stock Subject to the Plan.  Subject to the provisions of Section 13of this
Plan document, the maximum aggregate number of shares which may be optioned
under these Plans is 200,000 shares of authorized Common Stock.  This
constitutes an absolute cumulative limitation on the total number of shares that
may be optioned under Plan A and Plan B and, therefore, at any particular date
the maximum aggregate number of shares which may be optioned under Plan A is
equal to 200,000 minus the number of shares previously optioned under Plan A and
Plan B; and the maximum aggregate number of shares which may be optioned under
Plan B is equal to 200,000 minus the number of shares which have been previously
optioned under Plan A or Plan B. All shares to be optioned under either Plan A
or Plan B may be either authorized but unissued shares or shares held in the
treasury.  Shares of Common Stock that (a) are repurchased by the Company after
issuance hereunder pursuant to the exercise of an Option or (b) are not
purchased by the Optionee prior to the expiration of the applicable Option
Period (as described hereinbelow) shall again become available to be covered by
Options to be issued hereunder and shall not, as of the effective date of such
repurchase or expiration, be counted as having been previously optioned for
purposes of the above-described maximum number of shares which may be optioned
hereunder.

5.  Eligibility.  Options under Plan A may be granted to any Employee who is
designated by the Board in its discretion.  NonEmployees, including directors of
the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, who are not regular employees of the
Company, are not eligible to receive Options under Plan A. Options under Plan B
may be granted to any Employee, any Non-Employee director of Company or any
Parent or Subsidiary, and any consultant or independent contractors who provide
valuable services to the Company (or its Parent or Subsidiary), all as
designated by the Board in its discretion.  An Optionee who has been granted an
Option may, if otherwise eligible, be granted an additional Option or Options.
Options may be granted to one or more persons without being granted to other
eligible persons, as the Board may deem fit.

6. Term of the Plan.  Plan A shall become effective immediately upon the earlier
to occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by vote of a majority of
the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote on the adoption of such
Plan.  Plan B shall become effective immediately upon its adoption by the Board.
Each Plan shall continue in effect until December 31, 2009 unless sooner
terminated under Sections 15 or 18 of this Plan document.  No Option may be
granted under a Plan after its expiration.

7.  Option Period.  Each Option granted pursuant to either Plan shall be
evidenced by an Option Agreement.  Each Option shall expire and all rights
thereunder shall end at the expiration of such period (which shall in no event
be more than ten (10) years) after the Option Grant Date as shall be fixed by
the Board, subject in all cases to earlier expiration as provided in Section 11
of this Plan document.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term of each
Incentive Option granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Option is
granted, owns stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary
(determined as required by the Code as applied to Incentive Options) shall not
be more than five (5) years from the Option Grant Date.

8.  Option Price and Consideration.

     (a) Price.  The per share Option price for the Shares to be issued pursuant
to an Option granted under either Plan shall be such price as is determined by
the Board in its sole discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect
to Incentive Options granted under Plan A: (i) such price shall in no event be
less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value per Share of the
Company's Common Stock on the Option Grant Date, as determined by the Board; and
(ii) in the case of an Incentive Option granted to an Employee who, at the time
the Option is granted, owns stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any
Parent, Subsidiary or Predecessor Corporation (determined as required by the
Code as applied to Incentive Options), the per share Option price shall be at
least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value as of the Option
Grant Date, as determined by the Board.  The fair market value shall be
determined by the Board in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith;
provided, however, that where there is a public market for the Common Stock, the
fair market value per share shall be the mean of the reported bid and asked
price for the Common Stock on the date of the grant, or, in the event the Common
Stock is listed on a stock 
<PAGE>
 
exchange, the fair market value per share shall be the closing price on the
exchange as of the date of grant of the Option.

     (b) Form of Consideration.  The form of 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 Board and may consist of cash, promissory notes, or
the surrender of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value on the date
of surrender equal to the purchase price of the Shares as to which said Option
shall be exercised, a combination thereof, or such other consideration and
method of payment for the issuance of Shares as is permitted under applicable
law.

     (c) Promissory Notes.  If the consideration for the exercise of an Option 
is a promissory note, such note shall be a full recourse promissory note
executed by the Optionee. If the option is an Incentive Option under Plan A,
such note shall bear interest at a per annum rate which is not less than the
greater of (i) the applicable "test rate" described in Treasury Regs. Section
1.4831(d) in effect on the date of exercise or (ii) a fair market interest rate,
as determined by the Board in its good faith discretion. If a promissory note is
given as consideration, the Company may retain the Shares purchased upon
exercise of the Option in escrow as security for payment of the promissory note.

     (d) Surrendered Common Stock.  If the consideration for the exercise of an
Option is the surrender of previously acquired and owned shares of common stock
of the Company, the Optionee will be required to make representations and
warranties satisfactory to the Company regarding the Optionee's title to the
shares used to effect the purchase, including without limitation,
representations and warranties that the Optionee has good and marketable title
to such shares free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances, charges,
equities, claims, security interests, options or restrictions and has full power
to deliver such shares without obtaining the consent or approval of any person
or governmental authority other than those which have already given consent or
approval in a form satisfactory to the Company.  The value of the shares used to
effect the purchase shall be the fair market value of those shares as determined
by the Board in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith.

9.  Limit on Value of Optioned Stock Issued Under Plan A. The aggregate fair
market value (determined as of the Option Grant Date of each Option) of the
Shares with respect to which Incentive Options are exercisable for the first
time by the Optionee during any calendar year under Plan A and all other
incentive stock option plans of the Company, any Parent or Subsidiary, or any
Predecessor Corporation of any such corporation shall not exceed One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), as determined pursuant to Section 422(d) of the
Code.

10.  Exercise of Option.

     (a) General Terms.  Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at 
such times and under such conditions as may be determined by the Board which
conditions may include performance criteria with respect to the Company and/or
the Optionee or provisions for vesting over a period of time conditioned upon
continued employment and shall include the contemporaneous execution of a Stock
Purchase Agreement in a form approved by the Board and as shall be permissible
under the terms of the Plan. In all events, in order to exercise an Option
hereunder the Optionee shall execute a Stock Purchase Agreement in a form
approved by the Board and shall deliver the required (or permitted) exercise
consideration to the Company. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the
Board may require the Optionee pursuant to the Option Agreement to agree to
restrictions on the sale or other transfer of ownership of the Common Stock
acquired by an Optionee or to sell such Shares to the Company upon termination
of employment.

     (b) Partial Exercise.  An Option may be exercised in accordance with the
provisions of either Plan as to all or any portion of the Shares then
exercisable under an Option, from time to time during the term of the Option.
An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

     (c) Time of Exercise.  An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when the
Company has received at its principal business office: (i) written notice of
such exercise in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement and given by
the person entitled to exercise the Option; (ii) full payment for the Shares
with respect to which the Option is exercised; (iii) the executed Stock Purchase
Agreement if required; and (iv) any other representations or agreements required
by the terms of this Plan or the Option Agreement.  Full payment may consist of
such consideration as is authorized by the Board as provided hereunder.

     (d) No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise.  Until this Option is properly
exercised hereunder and the Company receives full payment for the Shares with
respect to which the Option is exercised, no right to receive dividends or any
other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock.
No adjustment will be 
<PAGE>
 
made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the
date the Option is properly exercised and payment in full is received, except as
provided in Section 13 of this Plan document.

     (e) Issuance of Share Certificates. As soon as practicable after any proper
exercise of an Option in accordance with the provisions of this Plan document
and payment in full for the exercised Shares, the Company shall, without
transfer or issue tax to the Optionee, deliver to the Optionee at the principal
business office of the Company, or such other place as shall be mutually
acceptable, a certificate or certificates representing the Shares of Common
Stock as to which the Option has been exercised. The time of issuance and
delivery of the certificates) representing the Shares of Common Stock may be
postponed by the Company for such period as may be required for it, with
reasonable diligence, to comply with any applicable listing requirements of any
national or regional securities exchange and any law or regulation applicable to
the issuance and delivery of such Shares.

     (f) Reduction of Shares Upon Exercise.  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.

11.  Termination of Employment.

     (a) General.  If an Optionee ceases to be an Employee for any reason then,
except as provided in Paragraph 11(a) or 11(b) hereof, any Option of the
Optionee, whether vested or non-vested, and if issued under Plan A or Plan B,
shall terminate as of the date of termination of employment.

     (b) Death or Disability.  If Optionee dies or becomes disabled (within the
meaning of Code Section 422 and the rules and regulations thereunder) then,
within the earlier of thirty (30) days (or such other period of time not
exceeding six (6) months as set forth in the Option Agreement) following the
date of such death or disability and the time the Option expires by its terms,
the Optionee  or  such person or persons to whm the Optionee's rights under the
Option shall pass by the Optionee's will or by the laws of descent and
distribution, may exercise the Option to the extent it was vested and
exercisable on the date of death or disability.
 
12.  Non-transferability of Options.  The Options and any rights and privileges
granted under any Option Agreement are not transferable by the Optionee, either
voluntarily or by operation of law, otherwise than by will and the laws of
descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during Optionee's lifetime
only by Optionee.

13.  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.

     (a) Reorganizations, Recapitalization, Etc.  If the outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Company are increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged
for a different number or kind of shares or securities of the Company through
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend (but only on
Common Stock), stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction,
or, if any other increase or decrease occurs in the number of Shares of Common
Stock of the Company without the receipt of consideration by the Company, then
an appropriate and proportional adjustment shall be made in (i) the number and
kind of shares of stock covered by each outstanding Option, (ii) the number and
kind of shares of 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 of an Option), and (iii) the exercise price per share
of stock covered by each such outstanding Option.  The granting of stock options
or bonuses to Employees of the Company and the conversion of any convertible
securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without the
receipt of consideration." Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment need be
made under this paragraph if, upon the advice of counsel, the Board determines
that such adjustment may result in federal taxable income to the holders of
Options or Common Stock or other classes of the Company's securities.

     (b) Dissolution, Liquidation, Etc.  Upon the dissolution or liquidation of
the Company, or upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company
with one or more corporations as a result of which the Company is not the
surviving corporation, or upon a sale (or exchange through merger) of
substantially all the property or more than fifty percent (50%) of the then
outstanding stock of the Company to another corporation, the Plan shall
terminate, and any Option theretofore granted hereunder shall terminate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may provide in writing in connection
with, or in contemplation of, such transaction for any, all or none of the
following alternatives (separately or in combination): (i) for all or a portion
of the Options theretofore granted to become immediately exercisable; (ii) for
the assumption by the successor corporation of the Options theretofore granted
or the substitution by such corporation for such Options of new options covering
the stock of the successor corporation, or a Parent or Subsidiary thereof, with
appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and 
<PAGE>
 
prices; or (iii) for the continuance of the Plan by such successor corporation
in which event the Plan and the Options theretofore granted shall continue in
the manner and under the terms so provided.

     (c) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of the Common Stock shall be
issuable on account of any action under this Paragraph 13, and the aggregate
number of shares into which Shares then covered by an Option, when changed as
the result of such action, shall be reduced to the largest number of whole
Shares resulting from such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board, in
its sole discretion, may determine to issue scrip certificates, in respect to
any fractional shares, which scrip certificates, in such event, shall be in a
form and have such terms and conditions as the Board in its discretion shall
prescribe.

     (d) Binding Effect of Board Determinations.  All adjustments under this
Paragraph 13 shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect
shall be final, binding and conclusive.

     (e) No Other Adjustments.  Except as expressly provided herein, no issue 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 the Plan or any Options.

14.  Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

    (a) Amendment and Termination.  The Board may at any time and from time to
time suspend or terminate either Plan.  The Board may also amend or revise
either Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem advisable,
except that, without approval of the holders of the majority of the outstanding
shares of the Company's Common Stock, no such revision or amendment shall amend
Plan A or Plan B so as to:

       (i) Increase the number of Shares subject to Plan A or Plan B other than
in connection with an adjustment under Section 13 of this Plan document;

       (ii) Permit the granting of Incentive Options to anyone other than as
provided in Paragraph 5;

       (iii)  Remove the administration of Plan A or Plan B from the Board;

       (iv) Extend the term of Plan A or Plan B beyond that provided in
Paragraph 6 hereof;

       (v) Extend the term of any Incentive Option beyond the maximum term set
forth in Paragraph 7;

       (vi) Permit the granting of Incentive Options which would not qualify as
Incentive Stock Options; or

       (vii)  Decrease the per share option price required with respect to
Incentive Options under Paragraph 8(a) hereof.

       (b) Effect of Termination.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 13,
without the written consent of the Optionee, any such termination of the Plan
shall not affect Options already granted and such Options shall remain in full
force and effect as if the Plan had not been terminated.

15.  Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.  Options granted under either Plan are
conditioned upon the Company obtaining any required permit, or exemption from
the qualification or registration provisions of any applicable state securities
law and other appropriate governmental agencies, authorizing the Company to
issue such Options and Optioned Stock upon terms and conditions acceptable to
the Company.  Shares shall not be issued with respect to an Option granted under
either Plan 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
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 Board may require the person exercising such Option
to execute an agreement approved by the Board, and may require the person
exercising such Option to make any representation and warranty to the Company as
may, in the judgment of counsel to the Company, be required under applicable
laws or regulations.

16.  Reservation of Shares.  During the term of the Plans, the Company will
at all times reserve and keep available the number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plans.  During the term of the
<PAGE>
 
Plans, the Company will use its best efforts to seek to obtain from appropriate
regulatory agencies any requisite authorization in order to issue and sell such
number of Shares of its Common Stock as shall be sufficient to satisfy the
requirements of the Plan.  The inability of the Company to obtain from any such
regulatory agency the requisite authorization(s) deemed by the Company's counsel
to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, or the
inability of the Company to confirm to its satisfaction that any issuance and
sale of any Shares hereunder will meet applicable legal requirements, shall
relieve the Company of any liability in respect to the non-issuance or sale of
such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

17. Taxes, Fees, Expenses and Withholding of Taxes.

     (a) Issue and Transfer Taxes.  The Company shall pay all original issue and
transfer taxes (but not income taxes, if any) with respect to the grant of
Options and the issue and transfer of Shares pursuant to the exercise of such
Options, and all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in
connection therewith, and will use its best efforts to comply with all laws and
regulations which, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, shall be
applicable thereto.

     (b) Withholding.  The grant of Options hereunder and the issuance of Shares
of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of such Options are conditioned upon
the Company's reservation of the right to withhold, in accordance with any
applicable law, from any compensation payable to the Optionee any taxes required
to be withheld by federal, state or local law as a result of the grant or
exercise of such Option or the sale of the Shares issued upon exercise of the
Option.

18.   Shareholder Approval of Plan A and Plan B. Continuance of  Plan A and
Plan B and the effectiveness of any Option granted under such Plan shall be
subject to approval by the holders of the outstanding voting stock of the
Company in accordance with applicable law within twelve (12) months before or
after the date Plan A and Plan B is adopted by the Board.  Any Options granted
under Plan A and Plan B prior to obtaining such shareholder approval shall be
granted upon the conditions that the Options so granted: (i) shall not be
exercisable prior to such approval and (ii) shall become null and void ab initio
if such shareholder approval is not obtained.

19.   Liability of Company.  The Company, its Parent or any Subsidiary which is
in existence or hereafter comes into existence, will not be liable to an
Optionee granted an Incentive Option or other person if it is determined for any
reason by the Internal Revenue Service or any court having jurisdiction that any
Incentive Options granted hereunder are not Incentive Stock Options.

20.   Notices.  Any notice to be given to the Company pursuant to the provisions
of the Plans shall be addressed to the Company in care of its Secretary at its
principal office, and any notice to be given to an Optionee shall be delivered
personally or addressed to such Optionee at the address given beneath such
Optionee's signature on such Optionee's Stock Option Agreement, or at such other
address as such Employee (or any transferee) upon the transfer of the Optioned
Stock may hereafter designate in writing to the Company.  Any such notice shall
be deemed duly given when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper
addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified, and deposited, postage and
registry or certification fee prepaid, in a post office or branch post office
regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.  It shall be the
obligation of each Optionee and each transferee holding Shares purchased upon
exercise of an Option to provide the Secretary of the Company, by letter mailed
as provided hereinabove, with written notice of such person's direct mailing
address.

21.   No Enlargement of Employee Rights.  This Plan is purely voluntary on the
part of the Company, and the continuance of the Plan shall not be deemed to
constitute a contract between the Company and any Employee, or to be
consideration for or a condition of the employment of any Employee.  Nothing
contained in this Plan shall be deemed to give any Employee the right to be
retained in the employ of the Company, its Parent, Subsidiary or a successor
corporation, or to interfere with the right of the Company or any such
corporations to discharge or retire any Employee thereof at any time.  No
Employee shall have any right to or interest in Options authorized hereunder
prior to the grant of such Option to such employee, and upon such grant he or
she shall have only such rights and interests as are expressly provided herein,
subject, however, to all applicable provisions of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, as the same may be amended from time to time.

22.   Legends on Certificates.

     (a) Federal Law.  Unless an appropriate registration statement is filed
pursuant to the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the
Options and Shares issuable under the Plans, each certificate representing such
Options and Shares shall be endorsed on its face with a legend substantially as
follows:
<PAGE>
 
     "THIS OPTION AND THE SECURITIES WHICH MAY BE PURCHASED UPON EXERCISE OF
     THIS OPTION HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
     AMENDED (THE "ACT"), AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A
     VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SALE,
     TRANSFER OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION

  combination.

option, accelerate the vesting schedule contained in Section 6 hereof, but shall
have no obligation to do so.  The Company shall have the right to accelerate
other options outstanding under the Plan or any other plan, even if it does not

   Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock which may without
   shareholder approval be issued under the Plan, then this option shall be void

   amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock
   issuable under the Plan is obtained in accordance with the provisions of
   Section 18 of the Plan.

     (b)  The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory
   body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful
   issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option without the
   imposition of requirements unacceptable to the Company in its reasonable
   discretion shall relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the
   non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not
   have been obtained.  The Company, however, shall use its best efforts to
   obtain all such approvals.

     (c)  Neither the Company nor any Parent, Subsidiary or successor
   corporation will have any liability to Optionee or any other person if it is

care of its Secretary at its corporate offices.  Any notice required to be given

without any obligation to do so, assist Optionee in the exercise of this option
by (i) authorizing the extension of a loan to Optionee from the Company, (ii)
permitting Optionee to pay the option price for the purchased Common Stock in
installments over a period of years, or (iii) authorizing a guarantee by the
Company of a third party loan to Optionee.  The terms of any loan, installment
method of payment or guarantee (including the interest rate, the Collateral
requirements and terms of repayment) shall be established by the Company in its
sole discretion.

18.  Construction.  This Agreement and the option evidenced hereby are made and
granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to
the Plan.  All decisions of the Company with respect to any question or issue
arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on all
persons having an interest in this option.

19.  Governing Law.  The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

the Plan by the Company's shareholders within twelve (12) months after the
adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors, and this option may not be
exercised in whole or in part until such shareholder approval is obtained.  In
the event that such shareholder approval is not obtained, then this option shall

corporations.

   B.  Optionee is an Eligible Person and this Agreement is executed pursuant
to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with
the Company's grant of a stock option to Optionee.

   C.  The granted option is not intended to be an incentive stock option
("Incentive Option") within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code, but is rather a non-statutory option.

   NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

1.  Grant of Option.  Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, there is hereby granted to Optionee, as of the date of this
Agreement (the "Grant Date"), a stock option to purchase up to __________ shares
of the Company's Common Stock (the "Optioned Shares") from time to time during
the option term at the option price of $_______ per share.

2. Plan.  The options granted hereunder are in all instances subject to the
terms and conditions of the Plan.  In the event of any conflict between this
Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.  Optionee
acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and hereby accepts this option
subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan.  Optionee agrees to
accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the
Board upon any questions arising under the Plan.

3. Option Term.  This option shall have a maximum term of years measured from
the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at the close of business on
___________, 199__ (the "Expiration Date"), unless sooner terminated in
accordance with Paragraph 6 or 8(a).
<PAGE>
 
4. Option Nontransferable; Exception.  This option shall be neither transferable
nor assignable by Optionee, either voluntarily or involuntarily, other than by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised, during
Optionee's lifetime, only by Optionee.

5. Dates of Exercise.  This option shall be exercisable as follows: ________.
Once exercisable, options shall remain so exercisable until the expiration or
sooner termination of the option term under Paragraph 6 or Paragraph 8(a) of
this Agreement.  In no event, however, shall this option be exercisable for any
fractional shares.

6. Accelerated Termination of Option Term.  The option term specified in
Paragraph 3 shall terminate (and this option shall cease to be exercisable)
prior to the Expiration Date should one of the following provisions become
applicable:

     (i) (i)  Except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (ii) and (iii)
below, should Optionee cease to be an Employee of the Company for any reason at
any time during the option term, any option of the Optionee, whether vested or
non-vested, and if issued under Plan B, shall terminate as of the date of
termination of employment.

     (ii) Should Optionee die while this option is outstanding, then the
executors or administrators of Optionee's estate or Optionee's heirs or legatees
(as the case may be) shall have the right to exercise this option for the number
of shares (if any) for which the option is exercisable on the date of the
optionee's death.  Such right shall lapse and this option shall cease to be
exercisable upon the earlier of (i) six (6) months from the date of the
optionee's death or (ii) the Expiration Date.

     (iii)  Should Optionee become permanently disabled and cease by reason
thereof to be an Employee of the Company at any time during the option term,
then Optionee shall have a period of six (6) months (commencing with the date of
such cessation of Employee status) during which to exercise this option;
provided, however, that in no event shall this option be exercisable at any time
after the Expiration Date.  Optionee shall be deemed to be permanently disabled
if Optionee is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental
impairment expected to result in death or to be of continuous duration of not
less than twelve (12) months, unable to perform his/her usual duties for the
Company or its Parent or Subsidiary corporations.  Upon the expiration of the
limited period of exercisability or (if earlier) upon the Expiration Date, this
option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding.

     (iv) For purposes of this Paragraph 6 and for all other purposes under this
Agreement, if Optionee is an Employee, Optionee shall be deemed to be an
Employee of the Company and to continue in the Company's employ for so long as
Optionee remains an Employee of the Company or one or more of its parent or
subsidiary corporations as such terms are defined in the Plan.  For purposes of
this Paragraph 6 and for all other purposes under this Agreement, if Optionee is
not an Employee, but is eligible because Optionee is a director, consultant or
contractor of Company or a parent or subsidiary corporation, Optionee shall be
deemed to be an Eligible Person for so long as Optionee remains a director,
consultant or contractor of the Company or one or more of its parent or
subsidiary corporations as such terms are defined in the Plan.

7. Adjustment in Option Shares.

   (a) In the event any change is made to the Common Stock issuable under the
Plan by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, or
other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without receipt
of consideration (as set forth in the Plan), then appropriate adjustments will
be made to (i) the total number of Optioned Shares subject to this option and
(ii) the option price payable per share in order to reflect such change and
thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder.

   (b) If the Company is the surviving entity in any merger or other business
combination, then this option, if outstanding under the Plan immediately after
such merger or other business combination shall be appropriately adjusted to
apply and pertain to the number and class of securities to which Optionee
immediately prior to such merger or other business combination would have been
entitled to receive in the consummation of such merger or other business
combination.

8. Special Termination of Option.

   (a) In the event of one or more of the following transactions (a "Corporate
Transaction"):

entity, except for a transaction the principal purpose of which is to change the

transferred, or exchanged through merger, to different holders in a single
transaction or a series of related transactions;

Transaction and cease to be exercisable, unless it is expressly assumed by the
successor corporation or parent thereof.  The Company shall provide Optionee
with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of the specified date for
the Corporate Transaction.  The Company can give no assurance that the options
shall be assumed by the successor corporation or its parent company and it may
occur that some options outstanding under the Plan will be assumed while these
options are terminated.

   (b) In the event of a Corporate Transaction, the Company may, at its option,
accelerate the vesting schedule contained in Section 5 hereof, but shall have no
obligation to do so.  The Company shall have the right to accelerate other
options outstanding under the Plan or any other plan, even if it does not
accelerate the options of Optionee hereunder.

   (c) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Company to
make changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate,
dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or
assets.

number of Optioned Shares specified in the Purchase Agreement at such time as
the executed Purchase Agreement for such shares shall have been delivered to the
Company and all other conditions of this Section have been fulfilled.  Payment
of the option price shall immediately become due and shall accompany the
Purchase Agreement.  As soon thereafter as practical, the Company shall mail or
deliver to Optionee or to the other person or persons exercising this option a
certificate or certificates representing the shares so purchased and paid for.

regulations of any stock exchange on which shares of the Company's Common Stock
may be listed at the time of such exercise and issuance.

Paragraph 4 or 8(a), the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of, and be binding upon, the successors, administrators, heirs, legal
representatives and assigns of Optionee and the successors and assigns of the
Company.

13.  Liability of Company.

     (a) If the Optioned Shares covered by this Agreement exceed, as of the
Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock which may without shareholder
approval be issued under the Plan, then this option shall be void with respect
to such excess shares unless shareholder approval of an amendment sufficiently
increasing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan is
obtained in accordance with the provisions of Section 18 of the Plan.

     (b) The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory
body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful
issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option without the
imposition of requirements unacceptable to the Company in its reasonable
discretion shall relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the
nonissuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have
been obtained. The Company, however, shall use its best efforts to obtain all
such approvals.

14.   No Employment Contract.  Except to the extent the terms of any written
employment contract between the Company and Optionee may expressly provide
otherwise, the Company (or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company

under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the
Company in care of its Secretary at its corporate offices.  Any notice required

Optionee at the address indicated below Optionee's signature line on this
Agreement.  All notices shall be deemed to have been given or delivered upon
personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly
addressed to the party to be notified.

16.  Withholding.  Optionee acknowledges that, upon any exercise of this option,
the Company shall have the right to require Optionee topay to the Company an
amount equal to the amount the Company is required to withhold as a result of
such exercise for federal and state income tax purposes.

17.  Loans or Guarantees.  The Company may, in its absolute discretion and
without any obligation to do so, assist Optionee in the exercise of this option
by (i) authorizing the extension of a loan to Optionee from the Company, (ii)
permitting Optionee to pay the option price for the purchased Common Stock in
installments over a period of years, or (iii) authorizing a guarantee by the
Company of a third party loan to Optionee.  The terms of any loan, installment
method of payment or guarantee (including the interest rate, the Collateral
requirements and terms of repayment) shall be established by the Company in its
sole discretion.

18.  Construction.  This Agreement and the option evidenced hereby are made and
granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to
the express terms and provisions of the Plan.  All decisions of the Company with
respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall
be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in this option.

19.  Governing Law.  The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

Purchased Shares in accordance with the provisions of the agreement between the
Corporation and Optionee evidencing the Option ("Option Agreement") and shall

a condition for exercise.

2.  INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS

    2.1   Investment Intent.  Optionee hereby warrants and represents that
Optionee is acquiring the Purchased Shares for Optionee's own account and not
with a view to their resale or distribution and that Optionee is prepared to
hold the Purchased Shares for an indefinite period and has no present intention
to sell, distribute or grant any participating interests in the Purchase Shares.
Optionee hereby acknowledges the fact that the Purchased Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and
that the Corporation is issuing the Purchased Shares to Optionee in reliance on
the representations made by Optionee herein.

    2.2   Restricted Securities. Optionee hereby confirms that Optionee has been
informed that the Purchased Shares may not be resold or transferred unless the
Purchased Shares are first registered under the Federal securities laws or
unless an exemption from such registration is available.  Accordingly, Optionee
hereby acknowledges that Optionee is prepared to hold the Purchased Shares for
an indefinite period and that Optionee is aware that Rule 144 of the Securities
and Exchange Commission issued under the 1933 Act is not presently available to
exempt the sale of the Purchased Shares from the registration requirements of
the 1933 Act.  Should Rule 144 subsequently become available, Optionee is aware
that any sale of the Purchased Shares effected pursuant to the Rule may,
depending upon the status of Optionee as an ttaffiliate" or "non-affiliate"
under the Rule, be made only in limited amounts in accordance with the
provisions of the Rule, and that in no event may any Purchased Shares be sold
pursuant to the Rule until Optionee has held the Purchased Shares for the
requisite holding period following payment in cash of the Option Price for the
Purchased Shares.

    2.3   Optionee Knowledge.  Optionee represents and warrants that he or she
has a preexisting business or personal relationship with the officers and
directors of the Corporation, that he or she is aware of the business affairs
and financial condition of the Corporation and that he or she has such knowledge
and experience in business and financial matters with respect to companies in
business similar to the Corporation to enable him or her to evaluate the risks
of the prospective investment and to make an informed investment decision with
respect thereto.  Optionee further represents and warrants that the Corporation
has made available to Optionee the opportunity to ask questions and receive
answers from the Corporation concerning the terms and conditions of the issuance
of the Purchased Shares and that he or she could be reasonably assumed to have
the capacity to protect his or her own interests in connection with such
investment.

    2.4   Speculative Investment.  Optionee represents and warrants that he or
she realizes that his or her purchase of the Purchased Shares will be a
speculative investment and that he or she is able, without impairing his or her
financial condition, to hold the Purchased Shares for an indefinite period of
time and to suffer a complete loss of his or her investment.  Optionee
represents and warrants that he or she is aware and fully understands the
implications of the restrictions upon transfer imposed by the Plan and therefore
on the Purchased Shares.

    2.5   Restrictive Legends.  In order to reflect the restrictions on
disposition of the Purchased Shares, the stock certificates for the Purchased
Shares will be endorsed with the following legend:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED PURSUANT TO
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREUNDER OR AN OPINION

NOT REQUIRED.

which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall

to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and
assigns and the Optionee and the Optionee's legal representatives, heirs,
legatees, distributees, assigns and transfer by operation of law, whether or not
