at any time prior to the termination of this Plan, Options in such quantity, at
such price, on such terms and subject to such conditions that are consistent
with this Plan and established by the Board. Options granted under this Plan
shall be in the forms described in this Section 4, or in such other form or
forms as the Board may determine, and shall be subject to such additional terms
and conditions and evidenced by grant agreements (each, an "Option Agreement"),
if any, as shall be determined from time to time by the Board. Except as
otherwise set forth in an Option Agreement between the Company and any
Participant, Options shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions
contained in this Plan.

     (b)  Time Options.

          (i)   A "Class A Common Option" shall entitle a Participant to

     in such Participant's Option Agreement (the "Class A Common Option Price").

     Date") or the respective Participant's Termination Date; provided, that any
     portion of the Time Options that has not vested and become exercisable
     prior to the Termination Date shall expire on the Termination Date and may
     not be exercised under any circumstance; provided, further, that any
     portion of the Time Options that has vested and become exercisable prior to
     the

                                        3

<PAGE>

     Termination Date will expire on the earlier of (i) 90 days after the
     Termination Date and (ii) the Expiration Date. Time Options are not
     intended to be "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422
     of the Code.

          (iv)  Exercisability. The Class A Common Options and Class L Common
     Options will vest, and thus become exercisable as set forth in the Option
     Agreement between the Company and the Participant, or, in the absence of
     such a term in such agreement, on each date set forth below with respect to
     the cumulative percentage of Time Option Shares issuable upon each of the
     Class A Common Options and the Class L Common Options set forth opposite
     such date if the respective Participant is, and has been, continuously
     employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from the date of grant
     through such date:

                                                  Cumulative Percentage
                                                 of Class A Common Options
                                                and Class L Common Options
                    Date                          Exercisable and Vested
     -----------------------------------        --------------------------
     First anniversary of date of grant                                 20%
     Second anniversary of date of grant                                40%
     Third anniversary of date of grant                                 60%
     Fourth anniversary of date of grant                                80%
     Fifth anniversary of date of grant                                100%

          (v)   Vesting of Time Option Shares. Time Option Shares shall be fully
     vested immediately upon exercise of the Time Option with respect thereto.

          (vi)  Procedure for Exercise. At any time after all or any portion of
     the Time Options have become vested and exercisable with respect to any
     Time Option Shares and prior to their expiration, a Participant may
     exercise all or a portion of his or her Time Option with respect to the
     Time Option Shares which have become vested and exercisable by delivering
     written notice of exercise to the Company (an "Exercise Notice") together
     with (i) a written acknowledgment that such Participant has read and has
     been afforded an opportunity to ask questions of management of the Company
     regarding all financial and other information provided to such Participant
     regarding the Company and (ii) payment in full by delivery of a cashier's,
     certified check or wire transfer in the amount equal to the product of the
     Option Price multiplied by the number of Time Option Shares to be acquired
     plus the amount of any additional federal and state income taxes required
     to be withheld by reason of the exercise of the Time Option, except as
     otherwise may be permitted by the Company pursuant to Sections 12 and 13
     below. A Participant must exercise Class A Common Options to acquire nine
     shares of

                                        4

<PAGE>

     Class A Common for every one share of Class L Common acquired through the
     exercise of Class L Common Options and Class L Common Options to acquire
     one share of Class L Common for every nine shares of Class A Common
     acquired through the exercise of Class A Common Options. As a condition to
     any exercise of a Time Option, a Participant will permit any of the Company
     and its Subsidiaries to deliver to him or her all financial and other
     information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries which it believes
     necessary to enable such Participant to make an informed investment
     decision.

          (vii) Class L Common Option Exercise. Each share of Class L Common
     issued upon exercise of any Class L Common Option shall be deemed to have
     accrued and unpaid yield as of the date of exercise as if such share of
     Class L Common had been issued on the date the Class L Common Option was
     issued hereunder (which in the case of any Class L Common Options issued in
     the first grant of Time Options hereunder shall be deemed to have been
     October 30, 2003).

     (c)  Representations upon Exercise. In connection with any exercise of
Options, Participant shall make such customary investment representations as the
Company may require and Participant shall execute such documents necessary for
the Company to perfect exemptions from registration under federal and state
securities laws as the Company may reasonably request.

     5.   Non-Transferability of Options. The Options are personal to a
Participant and are not Transferable by such Participant. Only a Participant or
his estate or heirs is entitled to exercise the Options. The Transfer of Option
Stock will be subject to restrictions in the Option Agreement.

     6.   Stockholders Agreement. Upon exercise of any Time Option granted
hereunder, Participant, if not already a party thereto, shall execute and
deliver to the Company a joinder to the Stockholders Agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Company agreeing to be bound by the terms and
conditions thereof. Participant accepts, acknowledges, and agrees that the
Option Stock issued upon exercise of any Time Options is subject to the terms
and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement, including the restrictions on
transfer contained therein.

     7.   Limitation on the Aggregate Number of Shares. The number of shares of
Common Stock issued under this Plan (including the number of shares of Common
Stock with respect to which Options may be granted under this Plan (and which
may be issued upon the exercise or payment thereof)) shall not exceed, in the
aggregate, 14,971,572 shares of Class A Common and 1,663,508 shares of Class L
Common (as such numbers are equitably adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof). If
any Options expire unexercised or unpaid or are canceled, terminated or
forfeited in any manner without the issuance of Common Stock or payment
thereunder, the shares with respect to which such Options were granted shall
again be available under this Plan. Similarly, if any shares of Common Stock
issued upon exercise of Options are repurchased by the Company, such shares
shall again be available under this Plan for reissuance as Option Stock. Shares
of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Options or shares of Common
Stock to be sold directly hereunder may be either authorized and unissued
shares, treasury shares, or a combination thereof, as the Board shall determine.

                                        5

<PAGE>

     8.   Holdback Agreement. Participant shall not effect any public sale or
distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of any Option Stock, during
the 7 days prior to and the 180 days after the effective date of any
underwritten public offering, except as part of such underwritten public
offering or if otherwise permitted by the Company.

     9.   Public Offering. In the event that the Board and the holders of a
majority of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding approve an initial
Public Offering, the holders of Option Stock will take all necessary or
desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Public Offering. In
the event that such Public Offering is an underwritten offering and the managing
underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the Common
Stock structure will adversely affect the marketability of the offering, each
holder of Option Stock will consent to and vote for a recapitalization,
reorganization and/or exchange of the Common Stock into securities that the
managing underwriters, the Board and holders of a majority of the shares of
Common Stock then outstanding find acceptable and will take all necessary or
desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the recapitalization,
reorganization and/or exchange.

     10.  Listing, Registration and Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Each
Option shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Board shall
determine, in its discretion that the listing, registration or qualification of
the shares subject to the Option upon any securities exchange or under any state
or federal securities or other law or regulation or the consent or approval of
any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition to or
in connection with the granting of such Option or the issue or purchase of
shares thereunder, no such Option may be exercised or paid in Common Stock in
whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or
approval (a "Required Listing") shall have been effected or obtained and the
holder of the Option will supply the Company with such certificates,
representations and information as the Company shall request which are
reasonably necessary or desirable in order for the Company to obtain such
Required Listing, and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company in obtaining
such Required Listing. In the case of officers and other persons subject to
Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Board may
at any time impose any limitations upon the exercise of an Option which, in the
Board's discretion, are necessary or desirable in order to comply with Section
16(b) and the rules and regulations thereunder. If the Company, as part of an
offering of securities or otherwise, finds it desirable because of federal or
state regulatory requirements to reduce the period during which any Options may
be exercised, the Board may, in its discretion and without the consent of the
holders of any such Options, so reduce such period on not less than 15 days'
written notice to the holders thereof.

     11.  Purchaser Representative. If the Company or the holders of the
Company's securities enter into any negotiation or transaction for which Rule
506 (or any similar rule then in effect) promulgated by the Securities Exchange
Commission may be available with respect to such negotiation or transaction
(including a merger, consolidation or other reorganization), as a condition to
participation in such sale (whether or not obligated to so participate pursuant
to the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement or otherwise), the holders of
Option Stock will, at the request of the Company, appoint a purchaser
representative (as such term is defined in Rule 501) reasonably acceptable to
the Company. If any holder of Option Stock appoints a purchaser

                                        6

<PAGE>

representative designated by the Company, the Company will pay the fees of such
purchaser representative; but if any holder of Option Stock declines to appoint
the purchaser representative designated by the Company, such holder will appoint
another purchaser representative and such holder will be responsible for the
fees of the purchaser representative so appointed.

     12.  Cash Payments Upon Exercise. Upon the written request of the holder of
exercisable Options, the Board may in its sole discretion provide that such
holder shall, as soon as practicable after the exercise of the Options, receive,
in lieu of any issuance of Common Stock, a cash payment in such amount as the
Board and such holder may agree but not more than the excess of the Fair Market
Value of a share of Common Stock (on the date the holder recognizes taxable
income) over the Option's exercise price multiplied by the number of shares as
to which the Option is exercised.

     13.  Cashless Exercise. At the discretion of the Board, a Participant may
be permitted to acquire Common Stock upon the exercise of Options without the
payment in cash or by promissory note of the exercise price therefor pursuant to
a cashless exercise of such Options, which cashless exercise shall be
effectuated by the surrender and termination by such Participant of a number of
shares of Option Stock for which the aggregate difference between the exercise
price of such Options to acquire such Option Stock and the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock underlying such Options equals the aggregate exercise price of
Options for the number of Common Stock to be issued to the Participant;
provided, that the total number of Options which are then vested and exercisable
by such Participant shall be at least equal to the sum of the number of Options
being so surrendered and terminated plus the number of Options for the Common
Stock to be issued to the Participant.

     14.  Adjustment for Change in Common Stock. In the event of a
reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of
shares, merger, consolidation or other change in the Common Stock, the Board may
in its discretion make such changes as it deems appropriate in the number and
type of shares authorized by this Plan, the number and type of shares covered by
outstanding Options and the prices specified therein.

     15.  Taxes. The Company shall be entitled, if necessary or desirable, to
withhold (or secure payment from the Plan participant in lieu of withholding)
the amount of any withholding or other tax due from the Company or any
subsidiary with respect to any amount payable and/or shares issuable under this
Plan, and the Company or any subsidiary may defer such payment or issuance
unless indemnified to its satisfaction.

     16.  Termination and Amendment. The Board at any time may suspend or
terminate this Plan and make such additions or amendments as it deems advisable
under this Plan, except that they may not, without further approval by the
Company's stockholders, (a) increase the maximum number of shares as to which
Options may be granted under this Plan, except pursuant to an express provision
hereof, or (b) extend the term of this Plan; provided, that, subject to Section
10 hereof, the Board may not change any of the terms of a written agreement with
respect to an Option between the Company and the holder of such Option without
the approval of the holder of such Option. No Options shall be granted or shares
of Common Stock issued hereunder after October 30, 2013.

                                        7

<PAGE>

     17.  Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification
as they may have as members of the Board, the members of the Board shall be
indemnified by the Company against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by
them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which they or any of
them may be party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in
connection with this Plan or any Option granted thereunder, and against all
amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved
by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in
satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding; provided,
that any such Board member shall be entitled to the indemnification rights set
forth in this Section 17 only if such member has acted in good faith and in a
manner that such member reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful, and provided,
further, that upon the institution of any such action, suit or proceeding a
Board member shall give the Company written notice thereof and an opportunity,
at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before such Board member
undertakes to handle and defend it on his own behalf.
