# 2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN
OF
SPAR GROUP, INC.

# (as amended through
May 16, 2006)

Section
1. Purposes of this Plan. This stock option plan (as the same may be supplemented,
modified, amended or restated from time to time in the manner provided herein, this
Plan) is intended to provide an incentive to employees (including
directors and officers who are employees), and to its directors, officers and consultants
who are not employees, of SPAR Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
Company), or any of its Subsidiaries (as such term is defined in
Section 19 hereof), and to offer an additional inducement in obtaining the services of
such individuals. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, such consultants include each
SPAR Affiliate (as hereinafter defined), and the employees of each SPAR Affiliate
(including directors and officers who are employees) and the directors and officers of
each SPAR Affiliate who are not its employees, and this Plan is intended to offer an
additional inducement in obtaining the services of such individuals. This Plan provides
for the grant of incentive stock options (ISOs) within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the
regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended (collectively, Tax Law),
and nonqualified stock options which do not qualify as ISOs (NQSOs).
The Company makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the
qualification of any option as an incentive stock option under the Tax Law.
Each reference to a consultant in the Plan shall be deemed to include each of the
consultants employees in the case of a consultant that is not a natural person.

Section
2. Stock Subject to this Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 12, the
aggregate number of shares of the Companys Common Stock, par value $.01 per share
(Common Stock), for which options may be granted and outstanding under
this Plan shall not at any time exceed (a) 3,600,000 shares, minus (b) the sum at
such time of (i) the cumulative aggregate number of shares of Common Stock covered by all
options issued under this Plan, and (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
covered by all options issued under the 1995 Plan and remaining outstanding on December 4,
2000, and plus (c) the aggregate number of Voided Option Shares under this Plan and
the 1995 Plan. Such shares of Common Stock may, in the discretion of the Board of
Directors of the Company (the Board of Directors), consist either in
whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or shares of Common
Stock held in the treasury of the Company. Subject to the provisions of Section 13 hereof,
any shares of Common Stock subject to an option which for any reason expires, is canceled
or is terminated unexercised or which ceases for any reason to be exercisable (other than
through exercise) shall again become available for the granting of options under this
Plan. The Company shall at all times during the term of this Plan reserve and keep
available such number of shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the
requirements of this Plan. Voided Option Shares shall the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock covered by options issued under this Plan or the 1995
Plan, as applicable, that after December 4, 2000, through the date of calculation become
void, expire, are canceled, terminate unexercised or cease for any reason whatsoever to
become exercisable other than through exercise.

Section
3. Administration of this Plan. (a) This Plan will be administered by the Board of
Directors of the Company (the Board), or by its Compensation Committee
or other specifically designated standing committee consisting of two or more directors
appointed by the Board of Directors (including the Compensation Committee in this
capacity, the Committee), as the Board may specify from time to time.
Those administering this Plan shall be referred to herein as the
Administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is or
becomes a corporation issuing any class of common equity securities required to be
registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act), to the extent necessary to preserve any deduction under
Section 162(m) of the Tax Law or to comply with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange
Act, as amended, or any successor rule (Rule 16b-3), any Committee
appointed by the Board of Directors to administer this Plan shall be comprised of two or
more directors each of whom shall be (i) a non-employee director within the
meaning of Rule 16b-3, and (ii) an outside director within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(e)(3). The delegation of powers to the Committee
shall be consistent with all applicable law (including, without limitation, applicable
state law and Rule 16b-3). Unless otherwise provided in the By-Laws (including any
applicable Committee Charter) of the Company, by resolution of the Board or applicable
law, a majority of the members of the Board or the Committee shall constitute a quorum,
and the acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is
present, and any acts approved in writing by all members without a meeting, shall be the
acts of the Board or the Committee.

          the persons who shall be granted options; (ii) the times when they shall receive
          options; (iii) whether an option granted to an employee shall be an ISO or a

          Common Stock to be subject to each option; (iv) the term of each option,
          including any provisions for early termination; (v) the date each option
          shall become exercisable; including any provisions for early vesting; (vi)

          installment; whether the installments shall be cumulative; the date each
          installment shall become exercisable and the term of each installment; (vii)
          whether to accelerate the date of exercise of any option or installment; (viii)
          whether shares of Common Stock may be issued upon the exercise of an option as
          partly paid, and, if so, the dates when future installments of the exercise
          price shall become due and the amounts of such installments; (ix) the exercise
          price of each option; the form of payment of the exercise price; (x) the fair
          market value of a share of Common Stock; (xi) whether and under what conditions
          to restrict the pledge, sale or other disposition of any option granted under
          this Plan, the shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of an option
          and, if so, whether and under what conditions to waive any such restriction,
          whether individually, by class or otherwise; (xii) whether and under what
          conditions to subject the exercise of all or any portion of an option to the
          fulfillment of certain restrictions or contingencies as specified in the
          contract referred to in Section 11 hereof (the Contract),
          including (without limitation) restrictions or contingencies relating to (A)
          entering into a covenant not to compete with the Company, its Parent (if any)
          (as such term is defined in Section 19 hereof) and any Subsidiaries,
          (B) financial objectives for the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, a
          division, a product line or other category and/or (C) the period of continued
          employment or consulting of the optionee with the Company or any of its
          Subsidiaries, and to determine whether such restrictions or contingencies have
          been met; (xiii) the amount, if any, necessary to satisfy the obligation of the
          Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Parent to withhold taxes or other
          amounts; (xiv) whether an optionee Retires or has a Disability (as such terms
          are defined in Section 19); (xv) to cancel or modify an option either with
          the consent of the optionee or as provided in the Contract; provided,
          however, that the modified provision is permitted to be included in an
          option granted under this Plan on the date of the modification; provided,
          further, that in the case of a modification (within the meaning of
          Section 424(h) of the Tax Law) of an ISO, such option as modified would be
          permitted to be granted on the date of such modification under the terms of this
          Plan; (xvi) to construe the respective Contracts and this Plan; (xvii) to
          prescribe, amend and rescind policies, rules and regulations relating to this
          Plan; (xviii) to approve any provision of this Plan or any option granted
          under this Plan, or any amendment to either, that under Rule 16b-3 or Section
          162(m) of the Tax Law requires the approval of the Board of Directors, a
          committee of non-employee directors or the stockholders, in order (1) to be
          exempt under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (unless otherwise specifically
          provided herein) or (2) to preserve any deduction under Section 162(m) of the
          Tax Law; and (xix) to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for
          administering this Plan.

(c)       
          The Company will maintain a separate bookkeeping account on its books and
          records for each optionee for the purpose of recording all options granted,
          exercised, surrendered or expired and other actions taken with respect thereto,
          and such books and records shall be conclusive as to the existence and amounts
          thereof absent manifest error.

(d)       
          Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Plan, any option
          granted under this Plan or any Contract on the books and records of the Company
          with respect thereto shall be determined unilaterally by the Administrators in
          their sole and absolute discretion. The determinations of the Administrators on
          such matters shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties.

(e)       
          No present or former Administrator or employee of the Company or any of its
          subsidiaries or affiliates shall be liable for any action, inaction or
          determination made in good faith with respect to this Plan, any option granted,
          exercised, surrendered or expired hereunder or any bookkeeping entry made in
          connection therewith.

Section
4. Eligibility. The Administrators may from time to time, consistent with the
purposes of this Plan, grant options to such directors (whether or not an employee),
officers (whether or not an employee), or employees of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or any consultant thereto (including any SPAR Affiliate) as the
Administrators may determine in their sole discretion. Such options granted shall cover
such number of shares of Common Stock as the Administrators may determine in their sole
discretion; provided, however, that if on the date of grant of an option,
any class of common stock of the Company (including without limitation the Common Stock)
is required to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the maximum number of
shares subject to options that may be granted to any employee during any calendar year
under this Plan shall be 1,000,000 shares; and provided, further, that the
aggregate market value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the shares of
Common Stock for which any

-2-



---

eligible employee may be granted ISOs
under this Plan or any other plan of the Company, or of a Parent or a Subsidiary of the
Company, that are exercisable for the first time by such optionee during any calendar year
shall not exceed $100,000. The $100,000 ISO limitation amount shall be applied by taking
ISOs into account in the order in which they were granted. Any option (or portion thereof)
granted in excess of such ISO limitation amount shall be treated as a NQSO to the extent
of such excess.

Section
5. Exercise Price. (a) The exercise price of the shares of Common Stock under each
option shall be determined by the Administrators in their sole discretion;
provided, however, that (i) except as provided below, the exercise
price of an option shall not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock
subject to such option on the date of grant; (ii) if, at the time an ISO is granted,
the optionee owns (or is deemed to own under Section 424(d) of the Tax Law) stock
possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes
of stock of the Company, of any of its Subsidiaries or of a Parent, the exercise price of
such ISO shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value of
the Common Stock subject to such ISO on the date of grant; and (iii) the
Administrators must first obtain the approval of the Board to grant a NQSO with an
exercise price which is less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of the
granting of the NQSO; provided, however, that with respect to any NQSO
granted to a covered employee (as such term is defined in Section 162(m) of
the Tax Law), the exercise price of the shares of Common Stock underlying such NQSO shall
not be less than the fair market value of such shares on the date of granting of such
NQSO.

(b)       
          The fair market value of a share of Common Stock on any day shall be: (i) if the
          principal market for the Common Stock is a national securities exchange, the
          closing sales price per share of the Common Stock on such day as reported by
          such exchange or on a consolidated tape reflecting transactions on such
          exchange; (ii) if the principal market for the Common Stock is not a national
          securities exchange and the Common Stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market
          (Nasdaq), and (A) if actual sales price information is
          available with respect to the Common Stock, the closing sales price per share of
          the Common Stock on such day on Nasdaq, or (B) if such information is not
          available, the average of the closing bid and asked prices per share for the
          Common Stock on such day on Nasdaq; or (iii) if the principal market for the
          Common Stock is not a national securities exchange and the Common Stock is not
          quoted on Nasdaq, the average of the closing bid and asked prices per share for
          the Common Stock on such day as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board Service or by
          National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated or a comparable service;
          provided, however, that if clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this
          subsection are all inapplicable because the Companys Common Stock is not
          publicly traded, or if no trades have been made or no quotes are available for
          such day, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock shall be determined
          by the Administrators by any method consistent with any applicable regulations
          adopted by the Treasury Department relating to stock options.

Section
6. Term. Each option granted pursuant to this Plan shall be for such term as is
established by the Administrators, in their sole discretion, at or before the time such
option is granted; provided, however, that the term of each option granted
pursuant to this Plan shall be for a period not exceeding ten (10) years from the date of
grant thereof, and provided further, that if, at the time an ISO (but not an
NQSO) is granted, the optionee owns (or is deemed to own under Section 424(d) of the Tax
Law) stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock of the Company, of any of its Subsidiaries or of a Parent, the term
of the ISO shall be for a period not exceeding five (5) years from the date of grant.
Options shall be subject to earlier termination as hereinafter provided.

Section
7. Exercise.  (a) An option (or any installment thereof), to the extent then
exercisable, shall be exercised by giving written notice to the Company at its principal
office (i) specifying the option being exercised and the number of shares of Common Stock
as to which such option is being exercised, and (ii) accompanied by payment in full
of the aggregate exercise price therefor (or the amount due on exercise if the applicable
Contract permits installment payments) (A) in cash and/or by certified check, (B) with
the authorization of the Administrators, with previously acquired shares of Common Stock
having an aggregate fair market value (determined in accordance with Section 5), on the
date of exercise, equal to the aggregate exercise price of all options being exercised,
(C) with a concurrent sale of option shares to the extent permitted by subsection (b) of
this Section, or (D) some combination thereof; provided, however, that in no case
may shares be tendered if such tender would require the Company to incur a charge against
its earnings for financial accounting purposes. The Company shall not be required to
issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any option until all
required payments with respect thereto, including payments for any required withholding
amounts, have been made.

(b)       
          The Administrators may, in their sole discretion, permit payment of the exercise
          price of an option by delivery by the optionee of a properly executed notice,
          together with a copy of the optionees irrevocable instructions to a broker
          acceptable to the Administrators to sell all or a portion of the option shares
          and deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds
          sufficient to pay such exercise price. In connection therewith, the Company may
          enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage
          firms.

(c)       
          An optionee shall not have the rights of a stockholder with respect to such
          shares of Common Stock to be received upon the exercise of an option until the
          date of issuance of a stock certificate to the optionee for such shares or, in
          the case of uncertificated shares, until the date an entry is made on the books
          of the Companys transfer agent representing such shares; provided,
          however, that until such stock certificate is issued or until such book
          entry is made, any optionee using previously acquired shares of Common Stock in
          payment of an option exercise price shall continue to have the rights of a
          stockholder with respect to such previously acquired shares.

(d)       
          In no case may a fraction of a share of Common Stock be purchased or issued
          under this Plan.

Section
8. Termination of Relationship; Retirement. (a) Except as may otherwise be
expressly provided in the applicable Contract or optionees written employment or
consulting or termination contract, any optionee whose employment or consulting
relationship with the Company, its Parent, any of its Subsidiaries and, in the case of
consultants, with any Affiliate or other consultant of the Company has terminated for any
reason (other than the optionees Retirement, death or Disability) may exercise any
option granted to the optionee as an employee or consultant, to the extent exercisable on
the date of such termination, at any time within three (3) months after the date of
termination, but not thereafter and in no event after the date the option would otherwise
have expired; provided, however, that if such relationship is terminated for
Cause (as defined in Section 19), such option shall terminate immediately.

(b)       
          For the purposes of this Plan, an employment or consulting relationship shall be
          deemed to exist between an individual and the Company if, at the time of the
          determination, the individual was an officer or employee of the Company, its
          Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its consultants (including any of its
          Affiliates). As a result, an individual on military leave, sick leave or other
          bona fide leave of absence shall continue to be considered an employee or
          consultant for purposes of this Plan during such leave if the period of the
          leave does not exceed ninety (90) days, or, if longer, so long as the
          individuals right to re-employment with the Company, any of its
          Subsidiaries, Parent or Affiliate or other consultant, as the case may be is
          guaranteed either by statute or by contract or the Company, its Parent, any of
          its Subsidiaries or Affiliate or other consultant, as the case may be, has
          consented in writing to longer absence. If the period of leave exceeds ninety
          (90) days and the individuals right to re-employment is not guaranteed by
          statute, contract or consent, the employment or consulting relationship shall be
          deemed to have terminated on the 91st day of such leave.

(c)       
          Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in the applicable Contract, an
          optionee whose directorship with the Company has terminated for any reason
          (other than the optionees Retirement, death or Disability) may exercise
          the options granted to the optionee as a director who was not an employee of or
          consultant to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to the extent exercisable
          on the date of such termination, at any time within three (3) months after the
          date of termination, but not thereafter and in no event after the date the
          option would otherwise have expired; provided, however, that if
          the optionees directorship is terminated for Cause, such option shall
          terminate immediately.

(d)
        If
any optionee Retires, the options granted to the optionee under this Plan           will
become fully vested automatically, notwithstanding any vesting schedule in           the
Contract, and may be exercised by the optionee (i) in the case of an ISO,
          within 3 months after Retirement, but not beyond the remaining term of the
          option, or (ii) in the case of any other option, at any time within the
          remaining term of the option, in each case subject to any
          other early termination that may be applicable under this Plan.

(e)       
          No option shall be subject to early expiration or termination as provided in
          Section 8(a), 8(b) or Section 8(c) of this Plan due to the Retirement, death or
          Disability of the original optionee, subject, however, to all the other
          provisions of this Plan, including (without limitation) any such other provision
          for early termination that may become applicable.

(f)       
          Nothing in this Plan or in any option granted under this Plan shall confer on
          any person any right to continue in the employ of or as a director of or
          consultant to the Company, its Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
          respective Affiliates, or as a director of the Company, or interfere in any

-4-

way with any right of the Company,  its Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
respective Affiliates to terminate
such relationship at any time for any reason whatsoever without liability to the Company,
its Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section
9. Death or Disability of an Optionee. (a) Except to the extent more favorable
treatment may otherwise be expressly accorded to the optionee in the applicable Contract
or optionees written employment or consulting or termination contract, if an
optionee dies (i) while the optionee is a director (whether or not an employee), officer
(whether or not an employee), or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any
consultant thereto (including any SPAR Affiliate), (ii) at any time following the original
optionees Retirement from such relationship or termination of such relationship by
reason of the optionees Disability, or (iii) within three (3) months after any other
termination of such relationship (unless such other termination was for Cause or without
the consent of the Company), the options granted to the optionee under this Plan will
become fully vested automatically, notwithstanding any vesting schedule in the Contract,
and may be exercised by the optionees Legal Representative (as such term is defined
in Section 19) at any time (A) in the case of an ISO, within one year after death, but not
beyond the remaining term of the option, or (B) in the case of any other option, within
the remaining term of the option, in each case subject to any other
early termination that may be applicable under this Plan.

(b)       
          Except to the extent more favorable treatment may otherwise be expressly
          accorded to the optionee in the applicable Contract or optionees written
          employment or consulting or termination contract, in the event of the
          termination due to Disability of an optionees status as a director
          (whether or not an employee), officer (whether or not an employee), or employee
          of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any consultant thereto (including
          any SPAR Affiliate), the options granted to the optionee under this Plan will
          become fully vested automatically, notwithstanding any vesting schedule in the
          Contract, and may be exercised by the optionee, or by the optionees Legal
          Representative, at any time (i) in the case of an ISO, within one year after
          Disability, but not beyond the remaining term of the option, or (ii) in the case
          of any other option, within the remaining term of the option, in
          each casesubject to any other early termination that may be
          applicable under this Plan.

Section
10. Compliance with Securities Laws. (a) It is a condition to the exercise of any
option that either (i) a Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Securities Act), with respect to the shares of Common
Stock to be issued upon such exercise shall be effective and current at the time of
exercise, or (ii) there is an exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the
issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon such exercise. Nothing herein shall be
construed as requiring the Company to register shares subject to any option under the
Securities Act or to keep any Registration Statement effective or current.

(b)       
          The Administrators may require, in their sole discretion, as a condition to the
          grant or exercise of an option, that the optionee execute and deliver to the
          Company such optionees representations and warranties, in form, substance
          and scope satisfactory to the Administrators, as the Administrators may
          determine to be necessary or convenient to facilitate the perfection of an
          exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, applicable
          state securities laws or other legal requirements, including (without
          limitation) that (i) the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of
          the option are being acquired by the optionee for the optionees own
          account, for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution
          thereof, and (ii) any subsequent resale or distribution of shares of Common
          Stock by such optionee will be made only pursuant to (A) a Registration
          Statement under the Securities Act which is effective and current with respect
          to the shares of Common Stock being sold, or (B) a specific exemption from
          the registration requirements of the Securities Act, but in claiming such
          exemption, the optionee, prior to any offer of sale or sale of such shares of
          Common Stock, shall provide the Company with a favorable written opinion of
          counsel satisfactory to the Company, in form, substance and scope satisfactory
          to the Company, as to the applicability of such Securities Act exemption to the
          proposed sale or distribution.

(c)       
          In addition, if at any time the Administrators shall determine that the listing
          or qualification of the shares of Common Stock subject to such option on any
          securities exchange, Nasdaq or under any applicable law, or that the consent or
          approval of any governmental agency or regulatory body, is necessary or
          desirable as a condition to, or in connection with, the granting of an option or
          the issuance of shares of Common Stock thereunder, such option may not be
          granted or exercised in whole or in part, as the case may be, unless such
          listing, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained
          by the Administrators free of any conditions not acceptable to the
          Administrators.

Section
11. Stock Option Contracts. Each option shall be evidenced by an appropriate
Contract duly executed by the Company and the optionee. Such Contract shall contain such
terms,

provisions and conditions not
inconsistent herewith as may be determined by the Administrators in their sole discretion.
The terms of each option and Contract need not be identical.

Section
12. Adjustments upon Changes in Common Stock. (a) Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan, in the event of any change in the outstanding Common Stock by
reason of a stock dividend, recapitalization, spin-off, split-up, combination or exchange
of shares or the like that results in a change in the number or kind of shares of Common
Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event, the aggregate number and kind
of shares subject to this Plan, the aggregate number and kind of shares subject to each
outstanding option and the exercise price thereof, and the maximum number of shares
subject to options that may be granted to any employee in any calendar year, shall be
appropriately adjusted by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive
and binding on all parties. Such adjustment may provide for the elimination of fractional
shares that might otherwise be subject to options without payment therefor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 12 if
such adjustment (i) would cause this Plan to fail to comply with Section 422 of the Tax
Law or with Rule 16b-3 (if applicable to such option), or (ii) would be considered as the
adoption of a new plan requiring stockholder approval.

(b)       
          Except as provided below, unless the Administrators shall, in their sole
          discretion, determine otherwise, upon (i) the dissolution, liquidation or
          sale of all or substantially all of the business, properties and assets of the
          Company, (ii) any reorganization, merger or consolidation in which the
          Company does not survive, (iii) any reorganization, merger, consolidation
          or exchange of securities in which the Company does survive and any of the
          Companys stockholders have the opportunity to receive cash, securities of
          another corporation and/or other property in exchange for their capital stock of
          the Company, or (iv) any acquisition by any person or group (as defined in
          Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of beneficial ownership of more than fifty
          percent (50%) of the Companys then outstanding shares of Common Stock
          (other than ownership by Robert G. Brown, William H. Bartels, their respective
          families, trusts under which either of them is a trustee or beneficiary, and
          corporations and other entities under their individual or collective control)
          (each of the events described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) are referred
          to herein individually as an Extraordinary Event), this Plan
          and each outstanding option shall terminate. In such event each optionee shall
          have the right to exercise, in whole or in part, any unexpired option or options
          issued to the optionee, to the extent that said option is then vested and
          exercisable pursuant to the provisions of said option or options and this Plan
          within fifteen (15) Business Days of the Companys giving of written notice
          to the optionee of such Extraordinary Event.

(c)       
          Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, the applicable Contract or
          the optionees written employment or consulting or termination contract,
          the termination of employment of, or the termination of a consulting or other
          relationship with, an optionee for any reason shall not, unless the
          Administrators decide otherwise, accelerate or otherwise affect the number of
          shares with respect to which an option may be exercised; provided,
          however, that the option may only be exercised with respect to that
          number of shares which could have been purchased under the option had the option
          been exercised by the optionee on the date of such termination.

(d)       
          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, or any
          provision to the contrary contained in a particular Contract, the
          Administrators, in their sole discretion, at any time, or from time to time, may
          elect to accelerate the vesting of all or any portion of any option then
          outstanding. The decision by the Administrators to accelerate an option or to
          decline to accelerate an option shall be final, conclusive and binding. In the
          event of the acceleration of the exercisability of options as the result of a
          decision by the Administrators pursuant to this Section 12, each outstanding
          option so accelerated shall be exercisable for a period from and after the date
          of such acceleration and upon such other terms and conditions as the
          Administrators may determine in their sole discretion; provided,
          however, that such terms and conditions (other than terms and conditions
          relating solely to the acceleration of exercisability and the related
          termination of an option after the stated period) may not adversely affect the
          rights of any optionee without the consent of the optionee so adversely
          affected. Any outstanding option that has not been exercised by the holder at
          the end of such stated period shall terminate automatically and become null and
          void.

Section
13. Amendments and Termination of this Plan. This Plan was adopted by the Board of
Directors on December 4, 2000, and amended by the Board of Directors on June 29, 2001. No
option may be granted under this Plan after December 4, 2010. The Board of Directors,
without further approval of the Companys stockholders, may at any time suspend or
terminate this Plan, in whole or in part, or amend it from time to time in such respects
as it may deem advisable, including (without limitation) in order that ISOs granted
hereunder meet the requirements for incentive stock options under the Tax Law,
or to comply with the provisions of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act or Section 162(m) of
the Tax Law or any

-6-



---

change in applicable laws or
regulations, ruling or interpretation of any governmental agency or regulatory body;
provided, however, that no amendment shall be effective, without the requisite prior or
subsequent stockholder approval, that would (a) except as contemplated in Section 12,
increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which options may be granted
under this Plan or change the maximum number of shares for which options may be granted to
employees in any calendar year, (b) change the eligibility requirements for
individuals entitled to receive options hereunder, or (c) make any change for which
applicable law or any governmental agency or regulatory body requires stockholder
approval. No termination, suspension or amendment of this Plan shall adversely affect the
rights of an optionee under any option granted under this Plan without such
optionees consent. The power of the Administrators to construe and administer any
option granted under this Plan prior to the termination or suspension of this Plan shall
continue after such termination or during such suspension.

Section
14. Non-Transferability. (a) Except as otherwise provided below or in the
applicable Contract, no option granted under this Plan shall be transferable other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution, and options may be exercised, during the
lifetime of the optionee, only by the optionee or the optionees Legal
Representatives. Except to the extent provided below or in the applicable Contract,
options may not be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or disposed of in any way
(whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution,
attachment or similar process, and any such attempted assignment, transfer, pledge,
hypothecation or disposition shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or
effect, unless and to the extent the Board, in the case of NQSOs, has given its express
written consent to any pledge or hypothecation to (and subsequent disposition by) a
financial institution, which NQSOs shall continue to be subject to the terms and
provisions of this Plan and the applicable Contract and may be subject to such additional
limits, conditions and provisions as the Board may require in its sole and absolute
discretion as a condition of such consent.

(b)       
          The Administrators may, in their discretion, authorize all or a portion of any
          NQSO granted to an optionee to be on terms which permit transfer by such
          optionee to (i) the spouse, children or grandchildren of the optionee
          (Immediate Family Members), including (without limitation)
          adopted children and grandchildren, (ii) a trust or trusts for the
          exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members, or (iii) a partnership
          in which such Immediate Family Members are the only partners, provided
          that (A) there may be no consideration for any such transfer (other
          than natural love and affection, the beneficial or equity interests therein
          received in connection with any such transfer to a trust or partnership, or the
          legal consideration for such a transfer to be enforceable), and (B) the
          Contract pursuant to which such options are granted must (1) be specifically
          approved by the Administrators and (2) expressly provide for transferability in
          a manner consistent with this Section 14.

(c)       
          Following any permitted transfer, any such options shall continue to be subject
          to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to
          transfer, provided that for purposes of Sections 7 and 10
          reference to optionee shall be deemed to refer to the transferee.
          The provisions in Section 8 hereof respecting the effect of Retirement or other
          termination of employment and Section 9 respecting the effect of death or
          Disability shall continue to be applied with respect to the original optionee,
          following which the options shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the
          extent, and for the periods specified in the Contract. Any permitted transferee
          shall be required prior to any transfer of an option or shares of Common Stock
          acquired pursuant to the exercise of an option to execute a written undertaking
          to be bound by the provisions of this Plan and the applicable Contract.

Section
15. Withholding Taxes. The Company, or its Subsidiary or Parent, as applicable, may
withhold (a) cash or (b) with the consent of the Administrators (in the Contract or
otherwise), shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of an option or a
combination of cash and shares, having an aggregate fair market value (determined in
accordance with Section 5) equal to the amount which the Administrators determine is
necessary to satisfy the obligation of the Company, a Subsidiary or Parent to withhold
Federal, state and local income taxes or other amounts incurred by reason of the grant,
vesting, exercise or disposition of an option or the disposition of the underlying shares
of Common Stock. Alternatively, the Company may require the optionee to pay to the Company
such amount, in cash, promptly upon demand.

Section
16. Legends; Payment of Expenses. (a) The Company may endorse such legend or
legends upon the certificates for shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of an option
under this Plan and may issue such stop transfer instructions to its transfer
agent in respect of such shares as it determines, in its sole discretion, to be necessary
or appropriate to (i) prevent a violation of, or to perfect an exemption from, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or other
legal requirements, (ii) implement the provisions of this Plan or any agreement between
the Company and the optionee with respect to such shares of Common Stock, or (iii) permit
the Company to determine the

occurrence of a disqualifying
disposition, as described in Section 421(b) of the Tax Law, of the shares of Common
Stock transferred upon the exercise of an ISO granted under this Plan.

(b)       
          The Company shall pay all issuance taxes with respect to the issuance of shares
          of Common Stock upon the exercise of an option granted under this Plan, as well
          as all fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such
          issuance.

Section
17. Use of Proceeds. Except to the extent required by law, the Companys
Certificate of Incorporation, or the Companys By-laws, the cash proceeds to be
received upon the exercise of an option under this Plan shall be added to the general
funds of the Company and used for such corporate purposes as the Board of Directors may
determine, in its sole discretion.

Section
18. Substitutions and Assumptions of Options of Certain Constituent Corporations.
Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, the Board of Directors may, without
further approval by the stockholders, substitute new options for prior options of a
Constituent Corporation (as such term is defined in Section 19) or assume the prior
options of such Constituent Corporation.

Section
19. Definitions. (a) Affiliate shall
mean with respect to the Company, any other           corporation or other entity (other
than a Parent or a Subsidiary), who directly           or indirectly, is in control of,
is controlled by or is under common control           with the Company. For the purposes
of this definition,           control (including, with correlative

controlwith) as used with respect to any corporation or other entity, shall

the           direction of the management and policies of such corporation or other
entity,           whether through the ownership of capital stock, by contract or
otherwise. For           purposes of determining whether any option is subject to Section
409A of the Tax           Law, the term Affiliate shall have the meaning
assigned to it in           Sections 414(b) or (c) of the Tax Law, as applicable, provided,
however, that in applying such provisions, the phrase at least 50
          percent (or such lower percentage as may be permitted under Section 409A
          of the Tax Law under the circumstances) shall be used instead of at least
          80 percent in each place therein that phrase appears for purposes of
          determining trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) that are under
          common control.

(b)       
          Business Day shall mean any day other than (i) any Saturday

          Cause, in connection with the termination of an optionee,
          shall mean (i) cause, as such term (or any similar term, such as
          with cause) is defined in any employment, consulting or other
          applicable agreement for services or termination agreement between the Company
          and such optionee, or (ii) in the absence of such an agreement,
          cause as such term is defined in the Contract executed by the
          Company and such optionee pursuant to Section 11, or (iii) in the absence of
          both of the foregoing, (A) indictment of such optionee for any illegal
          conduct, (B) failure of such optionee to adequately perform any of the
          optionees duties and responsibilities in any capacity held with the
          Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Parent (other than any such failure
          resulting solely from such optionees physical or mental incapacity),
          (C) the commission of any act or failure to act by such optionee that
          involves moral turpitude, dishonesty, theft, destruction of property, fraud,
          embezzlement or unethical business conduct, or that is otherwise injurious to
          the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Parent or any other affiliate of the
          Company (or its or their respective employees), whether financially or
          otherwise, (D) any violation by such optionee of any Company rule or policy, or
          (E) any violation by such optionee of the requirements of such Contract, any
          other contract or agreement between the Company and such optionee or this Plan
          (as in effect from time to time); in each case, with respect to clauses (A)
          through (E), as determined by the Board of Directors in their sole and absolute
          discretion.

(d)       
          Constituent Corporation shall mean any corporation which
          engages with the Company, its Parent or any Subsidiary in a transaction to which
          Section 424(a) of the Tax Law applies (or would apply if the option assumed or
          substituted were an ISO), or any Parent or any Subsidiary of such corporation.

(e)       
          Disability shall mean a permanent and total disability within
          the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Tax Law.

          of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any consultant thereto (including
          any SPAR Affiliate), in each case so long as: (i) such person shall be at least
          65 years of age or such younger age as (A) may be specifically provided for
          retirement in the applicable Contract or optionees written employment or
          consulting or termination contract, or (B) the Administrators in their
          discretion may permit in any particular case or class of cases; and (ii) such
          person shall not be employed full time by anyone else except as (A) may be
          otherwise specifically permitted following retirement in the applicable Contract
          or optionees written employment or consulting or termination contract, or
          (B) the Administrators in their discretion may permit in any particular case or

          Subsidiary shall mean a subsidiary corporation
          within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Tax Law.

Section
20. No Additional Rights. (a) Neither the adoption of this Plan nor the granting of
any option shall: (i) affect or restrict in any way the power of the Company, any of its
subsidiaries or any SPAR Affiliate to undertake any corporate action otherwise permitted
under applicable law; or (ii) confer upon any optionee the right to continue to be
employed by the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any SPAR Affiliate, nor shall it
interfere in any way with the right of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any SPAR
Affiliate to terminate the employment of any optionee at any time, with or without cause.

(b)       
          No optionee shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to shares
          covered by an option until such time as the optionee is listed as the owner of
          record of the purchased shares on the books and records of the Companys
          transfer agent.

all liabilities and expenses (including any amount paid in settlement or in satisfaction
of a judgment and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) reasonably incurred by the
individual in connection with any claims against the individual by reason of any action,
inaction or determination by the individual under the Plan. This indemnity shall not
apply, however, if: (i) it is determined in the action, lawsuit, or proceeding that the
individual is guilty of gross negligence or intentional misconduct in the performance of
any duties under the Plan; or (ii) the individual fails to assist the Company in defending
against any such claim.

(b)       
          Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall have the right to select counsel
          and to control the prosecution or defense of the suit.

(c)       
          Furthermore, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any individual for

Plan or Contract to be drafted. Whenever from the context it appears appropriate, any term
stated in either the singular or plural shall include the plural and singular,

each option granted under this Plan not constitute nonqualified deferred
compensation within the meaning of and subject to Section 409A of the Tax Law. To
the extent that the Administrators determine that any provision of this Plan or any option
or Contract provides for any such nonqualified deferred compensation (in whole or in
part), the Administrators at any time may amend this Plan and/or amend, restructure,
terminate or replace any Contract to either comply with Section 409A of the Tax Law and/or
minimize or eliminate any such nonqualified deferred compensation, in each
case notwithstanding anything in this Plan or any applicable Contract to the
contrary.
