1. Establishment, Purpose and Types of Awards

      Solution Technology International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), hereby establishes the Solution Technology International, Inc. 2002
STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN (the "Plan"). The purpose of the Plan is to promote the
long-term growth and profitability of the Company by (i) providing key people
with incentives to improve stockholder value and to contribute to the growth and
financial success of the Company through their future services, and (ii)
enabling the Company to attract, retain and reward the best-available persons.

      The Plan permits the granting of stock options (including incentive stock
options qualifying under Code section 422 and nonqualified stock options), stock
appreciation rights, restricted or unrestricted stock awards, phantom stock,
performance awards, other stock-based awards, or any combination of the
foregoing.

2. Definitions

following definitions apply:

which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company
(including, but not limited to, joint ventures, limited liability companies, and
partnerships). For this purpose, "control" shall mean ownership of 50% or more
of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock or interests
of the entity.

            (c) "Award" means any stock option, stock appreciation right, stock
award, phantom stock award, performance award, or other stock-based award.

            (d) "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Company.

            (e) "Change in Control" means: (i) the acquisition (other than from
the Company) in one or more transactions by any Person, as defined in this
Section 2(e), of the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of 50% or
more of (A) the then outstanding shares of the securities of the Company, or (B)
the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "Company Voting
Stock"); (ii) the closing of a sale or other conveyance of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company; or (iii) the effective time of any merger,

outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors of the surviving entity (or the entity owning 100% of such surviving
entity) are not persons who, immediately prior to such transaction, held the
Company Voting Stock; provided, however, that a Change in Control shall not
include (Y) a public offering of capital stock of the Company or (Z) any
transaction pursuant to which shares of capital stock of the Company are
transferred or issued to any trust, charitable organization, foundation, family
partnership or other entity controlled directly or indirectly by, or established

family members (including spouses, children, grandchildren, parents, and
siblings, in each case to include adoptive relations), or transferred to any
such immediate family members. For purposes of this Section 2(e), a "Person"
means any individual, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or
14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, other than:

<PAGE>

            (g) "Common Stock" means shares of common stock of the Company, par
value of $0.001 per share.

            (h) "Fair Market Value" means, with respect to a share of the
Company's Common Stock for any purpose on a particular date, the value
determined by the Administrator in good faith. However, if the Common Stock is
registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and listed for trading on a national exchange or market, "Fair
Market Value" means, as applicable, (i) either the closing price or the average

high bid and low asked prices on the relevant date quoted on the Nasdaq OTC
Bulletin Board Service or by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. or a comparable
service as determined in the Administrator's discretion; or (iv) if the Common
Stock is not quoted by any of the above, the average of the closing bid and
asked prices on the relevant date furnished by a professional market maker for
the Common Stock, or by such other source, selected by the Administrator. If no
public trading of the Common Stock occurs on the relevant date but the shares
are so listed, then Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the next
preceding date on which trading of the Common Stock does occur. For all purposes
under this Plan, the term "relevant date" as used in this Section 2(h) means
either the date as of which Fair Market Value is to be determined or the next
preceding date on which public trading of the Common Stock occurs, as determined
in the Administrator's discretion.

            (i) "Grant Agreement" means a written document memorializing the
terms and conditions of an Award granted pursuant to the Plan and shall
incorporate the terms of the Plan.

3. Administration

            (a) Administration of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by
the Board or by such committee or committees as may be appointed by the Board
from time to time. To the extent allowed by applicable state law, the Board by
resolution may authorize an officer or officers to grant Awards (other than
Stock Awards) to other officers and employees of the Company and its Affiliates,
and, to the extent of such authorization, such officer or officers shall be the
Administrator.

            (b) Powers of the Administrator. The Administrator shall have all
the powers vested in it by the terms of the Plan, such powers to include
authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to grant Awards under the Plan,
prescribe Grant Agreements evidencing such Awards and establish programs for
granting Awards.

      The Administrator shall have full power and authority to take all other
actions necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the Plan, including,
but not limited to, the authority to: (i) determine the eligible persons to
whom, and the time or times at which Awards shall be granted; (ii) determine the
types of Awards to be granted; (iii) determine the number of shares to be
covered by or used for reference purposes for each Award; (iv) impose such
terms, limitations, restrictions and conditions upon any such Award as the
Administrator shall deem appropriate; (v) modify, amend, extend or renew
outstanding Awards, or accept the surrender of outstanding Awards and substitute
new Awards (provided however, that, except as provided in Section 6 or 7(d) of
the Plan, any modification that would materially adversely affect any
outstanding Award shall not be made without the consent of the holder); (vi)
accelerate or otherwise change the time in which an Award may be exercised or
becomes payable and to waive or accelerate the lapse, in whole or in part, of
any restriction or condition with respect to such Award, including, but not
limited to, any restriction or condition with respect to the vesting or
exercisability of an Award following termination of any grantee's employment or
other relationship with the Company; (vii) establish objectives and conditions,
if any, for earning Awards and determining whether Awards will be paid after the
end of a performance period; and (viii) for any purpose, including but not
limited to, qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws or
otherwise complying with the regulatory requirements of local or foreign
jurisdictions, to establish, amend, modify, administer or terminate sub-plans,
and prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to such
sub-plans.

                                      - 2-
<PAGE>


      The Administrator shall have full power and authority, in its sole and
absolute discretion, to administer and interpret the Plan, Grant Agreements and
all other documents relevant to the Plan and Awards issued thereunder, and to
adopt and interpret such rules, regulations, agreements, guidelines and
instruments for the administration of the Plan and for the conduct of its
business as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable.

            (c) Non-Uniform Determinations. The Administrator's determinations
under the Plan (including without limitation, determinations of the persons to
receive Awards, the form, amount and timing of such Awards, the terms and
provisions of such Awards and the Grant Agreements evidencing such Awards) need
not be uniform and may be made by the Administrator selectively among persons
who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan, whether or not
such persons are similarly situated.

            (d) Limited Liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no
member of the Administrator shall be liable for any action taken or decision
made in good faith relating to the Plan or any Award thereunder.

            (e) Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by law and by
the Company's charter and by-laws, the members of the Administrator shall be
indemnified by the Company in respect of all their activities under the Plan.

            (f) Effect of Administrator's Decision. All actions taken and
decisions and determinations made by the Administrator on all matters relating
to the Plan pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder shall be in the
Administrator's sole and absolute discretion and shall be conclusive and binding
on all parties concerned, including the Company, its stockholders, any
participants in the Plan and any other employee, consultant, or director of the
Company, and their respective successors in interest.

4. Shares Available for the Plan

      Subject to adjustments as provided in Section 7(d) of the Plan, the shares
of Common Stock that may be issued with respect to Awards granted under the Plan
shall not exceed an aggregate of 600,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company
shall reserve such number of shares for Awards under the Plan, subject to
adjustments as provided in Section 7(d) of the Plan. If any Award, or portion of
an Award, under the Plan expires or terminates unexercised, becomes
unexercisable or is forfeited or otherwise terminated, surrendered or canceled
as to any shares, or if any shares of Common Stock are surrendered to the
Company in connection with any Award (whether or not such surrendered shares
were acquired pursuant to any Award), or if any shares are withheld by the
Company, the shares subject to such Award and the surrendered and withheld
shares shall thereafter be available for further Awards under the Plan;
provided, however, that any such shares that are surrendered to or withheld by
the Company in connection with any Award or that are otherwise forfeited after
issuance shall not be available for purchase pursuant to incentive stock options
intended to qualify under Code section 422.

5. Participation

      Participation in the Plan shall be open to all employees, officers, and
directors of, and other individuals providing bona fide services to or for, the
Company, or of any Affiliate of the Company, as may be selected by the
Administrator from time to time. The Administrator may also grant Awards to
individuals in connection with hiring, retention or otherwise, prior to the date
the individual first performs services for the Company or an Affiliate, provided
that such Awards shall not become vested or exercisable prior to the date the
individual first commences performance of such services.

6. Awards

      The Administrator, in its sole discretion, establishes the terms of all
Awards granted under the Plan. Awards may be granted individually or in tandem
with other types of Awards. All Awards are subject to the terms and conditions
provided in the Grant Agreement. The Administrator may permit or require a
recipient of an Award to defer such individual's receipt of the payment of cash
or the delivery of Common Stock that would otherwise be due to such individual
by virtue of the exercise of, payment of, or lapse or waiver of restrictions
respecting, any Award. If any such payment deferral is required or permitted,
the Administrator shall, in its sole discretion, establish rules and procedures
for such payment deferrals.


                                      - 3-
<PAGE>

            (a) Stock Options. The Administrator may from time to time grant to
eligible participants Awards of incentive stock options as that term is defined
in Code section 422 or nonstatutory stock options; provided, however, that
Awards of incentive stock options shall be limited to employees of the Company
or of any current or hereafter existing "parent corporation" or "subsidiary
corporation," as defined in Code sections 424(e) and (f), respectively, of the
Company. Options intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Code
section 422 must have an exercise price at least equal to Fair Market Value as
of the date of grant, but nonstatutory stock options may be granted with an
exercise price less than Fair Market Value. No stock option shall be an
incentive stock option unless so designated by the Administrator at the time of
grant or in the Grant Agreement evidencing such stock option.

            (b) Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may from time to
time grant to eligible participants Awards of Stock Appreciation Rights ("SAR").
An SAR entitles the grantee to receive, subject to the provisions of the Plan
and the Grant Agreement, a payment having an aggregate value equal to the
product of (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of
one share of Common Stock over (B) the base price per share specified in the
Grant Agreement, times (ii) the number of shares specified by the SAR, or
portion thereof, which is exercised. Payment by the Company of the amount
receivable upon any exercise of an SAR may be made by the delivery of Common
Stock or cash, or any combination of Common Stock and cash, as determined in the
sole discretion of the Administrator. If upon settlement of the exercise of an
SAR a grantee is to receive a portion of such payment in shares of Common Stock,
the number of shares shall be determined by dividing such portion by the Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the exercise date. No fractional
shares shall be used for such payment and the Administrator shall determine
whether cash shall be given in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such
fractional shares shall be eliminated.

            (c) Stock Awards. The Administrator may from time to time grant
restricted or unrestricted stock Awards to eligible participants in such
amounts, on such terms and conditions, and for such consideration, including no
consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by law, as it
shall determine. A stock Award may be paid in Common Stock, in cash, or in a
combination of Common Stock and cash, as determined in the sole discretion of
the Administrator.

            (d) Phantom Stock. The Administrator may from time to time grant
Awards to eligible participants denominated in stock-equivalent units ("phantom
stock") in such amounts and on such terms and conditions as it shall determine.
Phantom stock units granted to a participant shall be credited to a bookkeeping
reserve account solely for accounting purposes and shall not require a
segregation of any of the Company's assets. An Award of phantom stock may be
settled in Common Stock, in cash, or in a combination of Common Stock and cash,
as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. Except as otherwise
provided in the applicable Grant Agreement, the grantee shall not have the
rights of a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock represented
by a phantom stock unit solely as a result of the grant of a phantom stock unit
to the grantee.

            (e) Performance Awards. The Administrator may, in its discretion,
grant performance awards which become payable on account of attainment of one or
more performance goals established by the Administrator. Performance awards may
be paid by the delivery of Common Stock or cash, or any combination of Common
Stock and cash, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.
Performance goals established by the Administrator may be based on the Company's
or an Affiliate's operating income or one or more other business criteria
selected by the Administrator that apply to an individual or group of
individuals, a business unit, or the Company or an Affiliate as a whole, over
such performance period as the Administrator may designate.

            (f) Other Stock-Based Awards. The Administrator may from time to
time grant other stock-based awards to eligible participants in such amounts, on
such terms and conditions, and for such consideration, including no
consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by law, as it
shall determine. Other stock-based awards may be denominated in cash, in Common
Stock or other securities, in stock-equivalent units, in stock appreciation
units, in securities or debentures convertible into Common Stock, or in any
combination of the foregoing and may be paid in Common Stock or other
securities, in cash, or in a combination of Common Stock or other securities and
cash, all as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.

7. Miscellaneous

            (a) Withholding of Taxes. Grantees and holders of Awards shall pay
to the Company or its Affiliate, or make provision satisfactory to the
Administrator for payment of, any taxes required to be withheld in respect of
Awards under the Plan no later than the date of the event creating the tax
liability. The Company or its Affiliate may, to the extent permitted by law,
deduct any such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to
the grantee or holder of an Award. In the event that payment to the Company or
its Affiliate of such tax obligations is made in shares of Common Stock, such
shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the applicable date for such
purposes and shall not exceed in amount the minimum statutory tax withholding
obligation.

            (b) Loans. The Company or its Affiliate may make or guarantee loans
to grantees to assist grantees in exercising Awards and satisfying any
withholding tax obligations.

            (c) Transferability. Except as otherwise determined by the
Administrator, and in any event in the case of an incentive stock option or a
stock appreciation right granted with respect to an incentive stock option, no
Award granted under the Plan shall be transferable by a grantee otherwise than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Unless otherwise determined by
the Administrator in accord with the provisions of the immediately preceding
sentence, an Award may be exercised during the lifetime of the grantee, only by
the grantee or, during the period the grantee is under a legal disability, by
the grantee's guardian or legal representative.

            (d) Adjustments for Corporate Transactions and Other Events.

            (i) Stock Dividend, Stock Split and Reverse Stock Split. In the
            event of a stock dividend of, or stock split or reverse stock split
            affecting, the Common Stock, (A) the maximum number of shares of
            such Common Stock as to which Awards may be granted under this Plan,
            as provided in Section 4 of the Plan, and (B) the number of shares
            covered by and the exercise price and other terms of outstanding
            Awards, shall, without further action of the Board, be adjusted to
            reflect such event unless the Board determines, at the time it
            approves such stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split,
            that no such adjustment shall be made. The Administrator may make
            adjustments, in its discretion, to address the treatment of
            fractional shares and fractional cents that arise with respect to
            outstanding Awards as a result of the stock dividend, stock split or
            reverse stock split.

            (ii) Non-Change in Control Transactions. Except with respect to the
            transactions set forth in Section 7(d)(i), in the event of any
            change affecting the Common Stock, the Company or its
            capitalization, by reason of a spin-off, split-up, dividend,
            recapitalization, merger, consolidation or share exchange, other
            than any such change that is part of a transaction resulting in a
            Change in Control of the Company, the Administrator, in its
            discretion and without the consent of the holders of the Awards, may
            make (A) appropriate adjustments to the maximum number and kind of
            shares reserved for issuance or with respect to which Awards may be
            granted under the Plan, as provided in Section 4 of the Plan, and
            (B) any adjustments in outstanding Awards, including but not limited
            to modifying the number, kind and price of securities subject to
            Awards.

            (iii) Change in Control Transactions. In the event of any
            transaction resulting in a Change in Control of the Company,
            outstanding stock options and other Awards that are payable in or
            convertible into Common Stock under this Plan will terminate upon
            the effective time of such Change in Control unless provision is
            made in connection with the transaction for the continuation or
            assumption of such Awards by, or for the substitution of the
            equivalent awards of, the surviving or successor entity or a parent
            thereof. In the event of such termination, the holders of stock
            options and other Awards under the Plan will be permitted,
            immediately before the Change in Control, to exercise or convert all
            portions of such stock options or other Awards under the Plan that
            are then exercisable or convertible or which become exercisable or
            convertible upon or prior to the effective time of the Change in
            Control. If, immediately before the Change in Control, no stock of
            the Company is readily tradeable on an established securities market
            or otherwise, and the vesting of an Award or Awards pursuant to this
            Section 7(d)(iii) would be treated as a "parachute payment" (as
            defined in section 280G of the Code), then such Award or Awards
            shall not vest unless the requirements of the shareholder approval
            exemption of section 280G(b)(5) of the Code have been satisfied with
            respect to such Award or Awards.


                                      - 5-
<PAGE>

            (iv) Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The Administrator is authorized
            to make, in its discretion and without the consent of holders of
            Awards, adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria
            included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events
            affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or
            any Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or
            accounting principles, whenever the Administrator determines that
            such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
            enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be
            made available under the Plan.

            (e) Substitution of Awards in Mergers and Acquisitions. Awards may
be granted under the Plan from time to time in substitution for awards held by
employees, officers, consultants or directors of entities who become or are
about to become employees, officers, consultants or directors of the Company or
an Affiliate as the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing entity
with the Company or an Affiliate, or the acquisition by the Company or an
Affiliate of the assets or stock of the employing entity. The terms and
conditions of any substitute Awards so granted may vary from the terms and
conditions set forth herein to the extent that the Administrator deems
appropriate at the time of grant to conform the substitute Awards to the
provisions of the awards for which they are substituted.

            (f) Other Agreements. As a condition precedent to the grant of any
Award under the Plan, the exercise pursuant to such an Award, or to the delivery
of certificates for shares issued pursuant to any Award, the Administrator may
require the grantee or the grantee's successor or permitted transferee, as the
case may be, to become a party to a stock restriction agreement, shareholders'
agreement, voting trust agreement or other agreements regarding the Common Stock
of the Company in such form(s) as the Administrator may determine from time to
time.

            (g) Termination, Amendment and Modification of the Plan. The Board
may terminate, amend or modify the Plan or any portion thereof at any time.

            (h) Non-Guarantee of Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan or
in any Grant Agreement thereunder shall confer any right on an individual to
continue in the service of the Company or shall interfere in any way with the
right of the Company to terminate such service at any time with or without cause
or notice and whether or not such termination results in (i) the failure of any
Award to vest; (ii) the forfeiture of any unvested or vested portion of any
Award; and/or (iii) any other adverse effect on the individual's interests under
the Plan.

            (i) Compliance with Securities Laws; Listing and Registration. If at
any time the Administrator determines that the delivery of Common Stock under
the Plan is or may be unlawful under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, or
Federal or state securities laws, the right to exercise an Award or receive
shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award shall be suspended until the
Administrator determines that such delivery is lawful. The Company shall have no
obligation to effect any registration or qualification of the Common Stock under
Federal, state or foreign laws. The Company may require that a grantee, as a
condition to exercise of an Award, and as a condition to the delivery of any
share certificate, make such written representations (including representations
to the effect that such person will not dispose of the Common Stock so acquired
in violation of Federal, state or foreign securities laws) and furnish such
information as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be appropriate to
permit the Company to issue the Common Stock in compliance with applicable
Federal, state or foreign securities laws. The stock certificates for any shares
of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Plan may bear a legend restricting
transferability of the shares of Common Stock unless such shares are registered
or an exemption from registration is available under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and applicable state or foreign securities laws.


                                      - 6-
<PAGE>

            (h) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall
create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a
fiduciary relationship between the Company and a grantee or any other person. To
the extent that any grantee or other person acquires a right to receive payments
from the Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the
right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

            (i) Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the
Plan, of Grant Agreements entered into pursuant to the Plan, and of any rules,
regulations, determinations or decisions made by the Administrator relating to
the Plan or such Grant Agreements, and the rights of any and all persons having
or claiming to have any interest therein or thereunder, shall be determined
exclusively in accordance with applicable federal laws and the laws of the State
of Maryland, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

            (j) Effective Date; Termination Date. The Plan is effective as of
the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board, subject to approval of the
stockholders within twelve months before or after such date. No Award shall be
granted under the Plan after the close of business on the day immediately
preceding the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Plan, or if
earlier, the tenth anniversary of the date this Plan is approved by the
stockholders. Subject to other applicable provisions of the Plan, all Awards
made under the Plan prior to such termination of the Plan shall remain in effect
until such Awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the Plan
and the terms of such Awards.

                                   APPENDIX A
                       PROVISIONS FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

      With respect to Awards granted to California residents prior to a public
offering of capital stock of the Company that is effected pursuant to a
registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and only to
the extent required by applicable law, the following provisions shall apply
notwithstanding anything in the Plan or a Grant Agreement to the contrary:

1. Stock appreciation rights Awards under to Section 6(b) of the Plan or phantom
stock Awards under Section 6(d) of the Plan, which may be settled in shares of
Company stock, shall not be issued to California residents.

2. With respect to any Award granted in the form of a stock option pursuant to
Section 6(a) of the Plan:

      (a) The Award shall provide an exercise price which is not less than 85%
      of the Fair Market Value of the underlying security at the time the option
      is granted, except that the price shall be not less than 110% of the Fair
      Market Value in the case of any person who owns securities possessing more
      than 10% of the total combined voting power (as defined in Section 194.5
      of the California Corporations Code) of all classes of securities of the
      issuer or its parent or subsidiaries possessing voting power.

      (b) The exercise period shall be no more than 120 months from the date the
      option is granted.

      (c) The options shall be non-transferable other than by will, by the laws
      of descent and distribution, or, if and to the extent permitted under the
      Grant Agreement, as permitted by Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933,
      as amended (17 C.F.R. 230.701).

      (d) The Award recipient shall have the right to exercise at the rate of at
      least 20% per year over 5 years from the date the option is granted,
      subject to reasonable conditions such as continued employment. However, in
      the case of an option granted to officers, directors, managers or
      consultants of the Company or the issuer of the underlying security or any
      of its affiliates, the option may become fully exercisable, subject to
      reasonable conditions such as continued employment, at any time or during
      any period established by the issuer of the option or the issuer of the
      underlying security or any of its affiliates.

      (e) Unless employment is terminated for "cause" as defined by applicable
      law, the terms of the Plan or Grant Agreement, or a contract of
      employment, the right to exercise the option in the event of termination
      of employment, to the extent that the Award recipient is entitled to
      exercise on the date employment terminates, will be as follows:

                  (1) At least 6 months from the date of termination if
                  termination was caused by death or disability.

                  (2) At least 30 days from the date of termination if
                  termination was caused by other than death or disability.

3. With respect to an Award, granted pursuant to Section 6(c) of the Plan, that
provides the Award recipient the right to purchase stock:

      (a) The Award shall provide a purchase price which is not less than 85% of
      the Fair Market Value of the security at the time the Award recipient is
      granted the right to purchase securities under the Grant Agreement, or at
      the time the purchase is consummated; or, not less than 100% of the Fair
      Market Value of the security either at the time the Award recipient is
      granted the right to purchase securities under the Grant Agreement, or at
      the time the purchase is consummated, in the case of any person who owns
      securities possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power (as
      defined in Section 194.5 of the California Corporations Code) of all
      classes of securities of the issuer or its parent or subsidiaries
      possessing voting power.

      (b) The Award shall be non-transferable other than by will, by the laws of
      descent and distribution, or, if and to the extent permitted under the
      Grant Agreement, as permitted by Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933,
      as amended (17 C.F.R. 230.701).

4. The Plan shall have a termination date of not more than 10 years from the
date the Plan is adopted by the Board or the date the Plan is approved by the
security holders, whichever is earlier.

5. Security holders representing a majority of the Company's outstanding
securities entitled to vote must approve the Plan within 12 months before or
after the date the Plan is adopted. Any option exercised or any securities
purchased before security holder approval is obtained must be rescinded if
security holder approval is not obtained within 12 months before or after the
Plan is adopted. Such securities shall not be counted in determining whether
such approval is obtained.

6. At the discretion of the Administrator, the Company may reserve to itself
and/or its assignee(s) in the Grant Agreement or any applicable stock
restriction agreement a right to repurchase securities held by an Award
recipient upon such Award recipient's termination of employment at any time
within 90 days after such Award recipient's termination date (or in the case of
securities issued upon exercise of an option after the termination date, within
90 days after the date of such exercise) for cash or cancellation of purchase
money indebtedness, at:

      (A) no less than the Fair Market Value of such securities as of the date
      of the Award recipient's termination of employment, provided, that such
      right to repurchase securities terminates when the Company's securities
      have become publicly traded; or

      (B) the Award recipient's original purchase price, provided, that such
      right to repurchase securities at the original purchase price lapses at
      the rate of at least 20% of the securities per year over 5 years from the
      date the option is granted (without respect to the date the option was
      exercised or became exercisable).

      The securities held by an officer, director, manager or consultant of the
Company or an affiliate may be subject to additional or greater restrictions.

7. The Company will provide financial statements to each Award recipient
annually during the period such individual has Awards outstanding, or as
otherwise required under Section 260.140.46 of Title 10 of the California Code
of Regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required
to provide such financial statements to Award recipients when issuance is
limited to key employees whose services in connection with the Company assure
them access to equivalent information.

8. The Company will comply with Section 260.140.1 of Title 10 of the California
Code of Regulations with respect to the voting rights of Common Stock and
similar equity securities.

9. The Plan is intended to comply with Section 25102(o) of the California
Corporations Code. Any provision of this Plan which is inconsistent with Section
25102(o), including without limitation any provision of this Plan that is more
restrictive than would be permitted by Section 25102(o) as amended from time to
time, shall, without further act or amendment by the Board, be reformed to
comply with the provisions of Section 25102(o). If at any time the Administrator
determines that the delivery of Common Stock under the Plan is or may be
unlawful under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, or federal or state
securities laws, the right to exercise an Award or receive shares of Common
Stock pursuant to an Award shall be suspended until the Administrator determines
that such delivery is lawful. The Company shall have no obligation to effect any
registration or qualification of the Common Stock under federal or state laws.
