1.       PURPOSES.

         (a) The purpose of the Plan is to provide a means by which selected

through the granting of (i) Nonstatutory Stock Options, (ii) stock bonuses,
and (iii) rights to purchase restricted stock, all as defined below.

         (b) The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to retain the services
of persons (other than Directors and Employees serving as Officers of the
Company or its Affiliates) who are now Employees of or Consultants to the
Company or its Affiliates, to secure and retain the services of new Employees
and Consultants, and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum
efforts for the success of the Company and its Affiliates.

         (c) The Company intends that the Stock Awards issued under the Plan
shall, in the discretion of the Board or any Committee to which
responsibility for administration of the Plan has been delegated pursuant to
subsection 3(c), be either (i) Nonstatutory Stock Options granted pursuant to
Section 6 hereof, or (ii) stock bonuses or rights to purchase restricted
stock granted pursuant to Section 7 hereof.

the closing sales price for such stock (or the closing bid, if no sales were
reported) as quoted on such exchange or market (or the exchange or market
with the greatest volume of trading in the Company's common stock) on the
last market trading day prior to the day of determination, as reported in The
Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Board deems reliable.

3.       ADMINISTRATION.

         (a) The Plan shall be administered by the Board unless and until the
Board delegates administration to a Committee, as provided in subsection 3(c).

         (b) The Board shall have the power, subject to, and within the
limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan:

                  (i) To determine from time to time which of the persons
eligible under the Plan shall be granted Stock Awards; when and how each
Stock Award shall be granted; whether a Stock Award will be a Nonstatutory
Stock Option, a stock bonus, a right to purchase restricted stock, or a
combination of the foregoing; the provisions of each Stock Award granted
(which need not be identical), including the time or times when a person
shall be permitted to receive stock pursuant to a Stock Award; and the number
of shares with respect to which a Stock Award shall be granted to each such
person.

                  (ii) To construe and interpret the Plan and Stock Awards
granted under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations
for its administration. The Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct
any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or in any Stock Award
Agreement, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient
to make the Plan fully effective.

                  (iii) To amend the Plan or a Stock Award as provided in
Section 12.

                  (iv) Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such
acts as the Board deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests
of the Company which are not in conflict with the provisions of the Plan.

         (c) The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a committee
composed of one or more members of the Board (the "Committee"). If
administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in
connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore
possessed by the Board (and references in this Plan to the Board shall
thereafter be to the Committee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not
inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to
time by the Board. The Board may abolish the Committee at any time and revest
in the Board the administration of the Plan.

                                        3

4.       SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

         (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 11 relating to adjustments
upon changes in stock, the number of shares of stock that may be issued
pursuant to Stock Awards shall not exceed in the aggregate four hundred
thousand (400,000) shares of the Company's common stock. If any Stock Award
shall for any reason expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part,
without having been exercised in full, the stock not acquired under such
Stock Award shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the
Plan.

         (b) The stock subject to the Plan may be unissued shares or
reacquired shares, bought on the market or otherwise.

5.       ELIGIBILITY.

         Stock Awards may be granted only to Employees or Consultants who are
not (i) Officers (including without limitation vice presidents of the
Company), (ii) Directors, or (iii) then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange
Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Officer may be granted a Stock Award
if the grant of such Stock Award is an essential inducement to such Officer
entering into an employment agreement with the Company or an Affiliate.

6.       OPTION PROVISIONS.

         Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate
Options need not be identical, but each Option shall include (through
incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise)
the substance of each of the following provisions:

         (a) TERM. No Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten
(10) years from the date it was granted.

         (b) PRICE. The exercise price of each Nonstatutory Stock Option
shall be not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of
the stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted.

         (c) CONSIDERATION. The purchase price of stock acquired pursuant to
an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and
regulations, either (i) in cash at the time the Option is exercised, or (ii)
at the discretion of the Board or the Committee, at the time of the grant of
the Option, (a) by delivery to the Company of other common stock of the
Company, (b) according to a deferred payment arrangement, except that payment
of the common stock's "par value" (as defined in the Delaware General
Corporation Law) shall not be made by deferred payment or other arrangement
(which may include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use
of other common stock of the Company) with the person to whom the Option is
granted or to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to subsection 6(d), or
(c) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the
Board.

         In the case of any deferred payment arrangement, interest shall be
payable at least annually and shall be charged at the minimum rate of
interest necessary to avoid the treatment as

                                        4

<PAGE>

interest, under any applicable provisions of the Code, of any amounts other
than amounts stated to be interest under the deferred payment arrangement.

         (d) TRANSFERABILITY. An Option shall not be transferable except by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution (and shall be exercisable
during the lifetime of the person to whom the Option is granted only by such
person) unless the applicable Option Agreement expressly provides for other
permitted types of transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the person to
whom the Option is granted may, by delivering written notice to the Company,
in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the
event of the death of the Optionee, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise
the Option.

         (e) VESTING. The total number of shares of stock subject to an
Option may, but need not, be allotted in periodic installments (which may,
but need not, be equal). The Option Agreement may provide that from time to
time during each of such installment periods, the Option may become
exercisable ("vest") with respect to some or all of the shares allotted to
that period, and may be exercised with respect to some or all of the shares
allotted to such period and/or any prior period as to which the Option became
vested but was not fully exercised. The Option may be subject to such other
terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised (which may
be based on performance or other criteria) as the Board may deem appropriate.
The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. The provisions of this
subsection 6(e) are subject to any Option provisions governing the minimum
number of shares as to which an Option may be exercised.

         (f) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR CONSULTING RELATIONSHIP. In the
event an Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant
terminates (other than upon the Optionee's death or disability), the Optionee
may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionee was entitled
to exercise it as of the date of termination, unless the Option Agreement
expressly provides that the Option may become exercisable for additional
shares after the date of termination) but only within such period of time
ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months following the
termination of the Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or
Consultant (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option
Agreement), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in
the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise
his or her Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the
Option shall terminate, and the shares covered by such Option shall revert to
and again become available for issuance under the Plan.

         An Optionee's Option Agreement may also provide that if the exercise
of the Option following the termination of the Optionee's Continuous Status
as an Employee, Director or Consultant (other than upon the Optionee's death
or disability) would result in liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of
the term of the Option set forth in the Option Agreement, or (ii) the tenth
(10th) day after the last date on which such exercise would result in such
liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Finally, an Optionee's
Option Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of the Option
following the termination of the Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee,
Director or Consultant (other than upon the Optionee's death or disability)
would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares would
violate the registration requirements under the Act, then the Option shall
terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of

                                        5

<PAGE>

the Option set forth in the first paragraph of this subsection 6(f), or (ii)
the expiration of a period of three (3) months after the termination of the
Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant during
which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such
registration requirements.

         (g) DISABILITY OF OPTIONEE. In the event an Optionee's Continuous
Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant terminates as a result of the
Optionee's Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option (to the
extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it as of the date of
termination, unless the Option Agreement expressly provides that the Option
may become exercisable for additional shares after the date of termination),
but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date six
(6) months following such termination (or such longer or shorter period
specified in the Option Agreement), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the
Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the
Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified
herein, the Option shall terminate, and the shares covered by such Option
shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan.

         (h) DEATH OF OPTIONEE. In the event of the death of an Optionee
during, or within a period specified in the Option Agreement after the
termination of, the Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or
Consultant, the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionee was
entitled to exercise the Option as of the date of death) by the Optionee's
estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest
or inheritance, but only within the period ending on the earlier of (i) the
date twelve (12) months following the date of death (or such longer or
shorter period specified in the Option Agreement), or (ii) the expiration of
the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, at the time
of death, the Optionee was not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option,
the shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to
and again become available for issuance under the Plan. If, after death, the
Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate, and the shares covered by such Option shall revert to and again
become available for issuance under the Plan.

7.       TERMS OF STOCK BONUSES AND PURCHASES OF RESTRICTED STOCK.

         Each stock bonus or restricted stock purchase agreement shall be in
such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board or the
Committee shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of stock bonus or
restricted stock purchase agreements may change from time to time, and the
terms and conditions of separate agreements need not be identical, but each
stock bonus or restricted stock purchase agreement shall include (through
incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or
otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions as appropriate:

         (a) PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price under each restricted stock
purchase agreement shall be such amount as the Board or Committee shall
determine and designate in such agreement, but in no event shall the purchase
price be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the stock's Fair Market Value
on the date such award is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board or
the Committee may determine that eligible participants in the Plan may be
awarded

                                        6

<PAGE>

stock pursuant to a stock bonus agreement in consideration for past services
actually rendered to the Company or for its benefit.

         (b) TRANSFERABILITY. No rights under a stock bonus or restricted
stock purchase agreement shall be transferable except by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, unless the applicable Stock Award Agreement
expressly provides for other types of transfer.

         (c) CONSIDERATION. The purchase price of stock acquired pursuant to
a stock purchase agreement shall be paid either: (i) in cash at the time of
purchase; (ii) at the discretion of the Board or the Committee, according to
a deferred payment or other arrangement, except that payment of the common
stock's "par value" (as defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law)
shall not be made by deferred payment or other arrangement (which may
include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of other
common stock of the Company) with the person to whom the stock is sold; or
(iii) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the
Board or the Committee in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Board or the Committee to which administration of the Plan has been delegated
may award stock pursuant to a stock bonus agreement in consideration for past
services actually rendered to the Company or for its benefit.

         (d) VESTING. Shares of stock sold or awarded under the Plan may, but
need not, be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Company in
accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board or the
Committee.

         (e) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR CONSULTING RELATIONSHIP. In the
event the Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant of a
person holding a Stock Award terminates, the Company may repurchase or
otherwise reacquire, subject to the limitations described in subsection 7(d),
any or all of the shares of stock held by that person which have not vested
as of the date of termination under the terms of the stock bonus or
restricted stock purchase agreement between the Company and such person.

8.       COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

         (a) During the terms of the Stock Awards, the Company shall keep
available at all times the number of shares of stock required to satisfy such
Stock Awards.

         (b) The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission
or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required
to issue and sell shares of stock upon exercise of the Stock Award; provided,
however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") either
the Plan, any Stock Award or any stock issued or issuable pursuant to any
such Stock Award. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to
obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which
counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of
stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for
failure to issue and sell stock upon exercise of such Stock Awards unless and
until such authority is obtained.

9.       USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK.

                                        7

<PAGE>

         Proceeds from the sale of stock pursuant to Stock Awards shall
constitute general funds of the Company.

10.      MISCELLANEOUS.

         (a) The Board shall have the power to accelerate the time at which a
Stock Award may first be exercised or the time during which a Stock Award or
any part thereof will vest pursuant to subsection 6(e) or 7(d),
notwithstanding the provisions in the Stock Award stating the time at which
it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.

         (b) Neither an Employee or Consultant, nor any person to whom a
Stock Award is transferred under subsection 6(d) or 7(b) shall be deemed to
be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to,
any shares subject to such Stock Award unless and until such person has
satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Stock Award pursuant to its
terms.

         (c) Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Stock Award
granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Employee, Consultant or other
holder of Stock Awards any right to continue in the employ of the Company or
any Affiliate (or to continue acting as a Consultant) or shall affect the
right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the employment of any
Employee with or without cause, or to terminate the relationship of any
Consultant in accordance with the terms of that Consultant's agreement with
the Company or Affiliate to which such Consultant is providing services.

         (d) SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. The Company may require any person to
whom a Stock Award is granted, or any person to whom a Stock Award is
transferred pursuant to subsection 6(d) or 7(b), as a condition of exercising
or acquiring stock under any Stock Award, (1) to give written assurances
satisfactory to the Company as to such person's knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative
reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced
in financial and business matters, and that he or she is capable of
evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits
and risks of exercising the Stock Award; and (2) to give written assurances
satisfactory to the Company stating that such person is acquiring the stock
subject to the Stock Award for such person's own account and not with any
present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the stock. The
foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such
requirements, shall be inoperative if (i) the issuance of the shares upon the
exercise or acquisition of stock under the Stock Award has been registered
under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities
Act, or (ii) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by
counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the
circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The Company may
require the holder of the Stock Award to provide such other representations,
written assurances or information which the Company shall determine is
necessary, desirable or appropriate to comply with applicable securities and
other laws as a condition of granting a Stock Award to such person or
permitting the holder of the Stock Award to exercise the Stock Award. The
Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock
certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or
appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including,
but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the stock.

                                        8

<PAGE>

         (e) WITHHOLDING. To the extent provided by the terms of a Stock
Award Agreement, the person to whom a Stock Award is granted may satisfy any
federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise
or acquisition of stock under a Stock Award by any of the following means or
by a combination of such means: (1) tendering a cash payment; (2) authorizing
the Company to withhold shares from the shares of the common stock otherwise
issuable to the participant as a result of the exercise or acquisition of
stock under the Stock Award; or (3) delivering to the Company owned and
unencumbered shares of the common stock of the Company.

11.      ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK.

         (a) If any change is made in the stock subject to the Plan, or
subject to any Stock Award, without the receipt of consideration by the
Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock
split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares,
change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt
of consideration by the Company), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in
the class(es) and the maximum number of shares subject to the Plan pursuant
to subsection 4(a), and the outstanding Stock Awards will be appropriately
adjusted in the class(es) and number of shares and price per share of stock
subject to such outstanding Stock Awards. Such adjustments shall be made by
the Board or the Committee, the determination of which shall be final,
binding and conclusive. (The conversion of any convertible securities of the
Company shall not be treated as a "transaction not involving the receipt of
consideration by the Company.")

         (b) In the event of: (1) a merger or consolidation in which the
Company is not the surviving corporation; or (2) a reverse merger in which
the Company is the surviving corporation but the shares of the Company's
common stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by
virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities,
cash or otherwise, then to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) any
surviving corporation or an Affiliate of such surviving corporation shall
assume any Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan or shall substitute
similar Stock Awards for those outstanding under the Plan, or (ii) such Stock
Awards shall continue in full force and effect. In the event any surviving
corporation and its Affiliates refuse to assume or continue such Stock
Awards, or to substitute similar Stock Awards for those outstanding under the
Plan, then, with respect to Stock Awards held by persons then performing
services as Employees, Directors or Consultants, such Stock Awards shall
become fully vested as of the business day first preceding the date of the
transaction and all outstanding Stock Awards shall terminate if not exercised
prior to such event. In the event of a dissolution, liquidation or sale of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company all outstanding Stock
Awards shall terminate at that time.

12.      AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND STOCK AWARDS.

         (a) The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan.

         (b) The Board, in its sole discretion, may submit the Plan and/or
any amendment to the Plan for stockholder approval.

                                        9

<PAGE>

         (c) It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan
in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide those
eligible with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the
provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

         (d) Rights and obligations under any Stock Award granted before
amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan
unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the person to whom the Stock
Award was granted and (ii) such person consents in writing.

         (e) The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the
terms of any one or more Stock Award; provided, however, that the rights and
obligations under any Stock Award shall not be impaired by any such amendment
unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the person to whom the Stock
Award was granted and (ii) such person consents in writing.

13.      TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN.

         (a) The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No
Stock Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or
after it is terminated.

         (b) Rights and obligations under any Stock Award granted while the
Plan is in effect shall not be impaired by suspension or termination of the
Plan, except with the written consent of the person to whom the Stock Award
was granted.

14.      EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.

                  The Plan shall become effective on adoption by the Board.


                                        10
