exercise price of an Option may be paid, the form of payment, including, without
limitation: (i) cash, (ii) except with respect to Incentive Stock Options,
shares of Stock issuable to the Option holder upon exercise of the Option, with
a Fair Market Value on the date of the Option exercise equal to the aggregate
Option exercise price of the shares with respect to which such Option or portion
thereof is thereby exercised, (iii) shares of Stock held for such period of time
as may be required by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting

respect to which Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant
in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000 or such other limitation as imposed

to any individual who, at the date of grant, owns stock possessing more than ten

Company only if such Option is granted at a price that is not less than 110% of
Fair Market Value on the date of grant and the Option is exercisable for no more
than five years from the date of grant.

            (d) Transfer Restriction. The Participant shall give the Company
prompt notice of any disposition of shares of Stock acquired by exercise of an
Incentive Stock Option within (i) two years from the date of grant of such
Incentive Stock Option or (ii) one year after the transfer of such shares of
Stock to the Participant.

                                    ARTICLE 6

                             RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

      6.1 Grant of Restricted Stock. The Committee is authorized to make Awards
of Restricted Stock to any Participant selected by the Committee in such amounts
and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee. All
Awards of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.

      6.2 Issuance and Restrictions. Restricted Stock shall be subject to such
restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Committee may
impose (including, without limitation, limitations on the right to vote
Restricted Stock or the right to receive dividends on the Restricted Stock).
These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times,
pursuant to such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise (including,
without limitation, pursuant to the satisfaction or time-vesting requirements,
performance vesting requirements, or both), as the Committee determines at the
time of the grant of the Award or thereafter.

      6.3 Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the
time of the grant of the Award or thereafter, upon termination of employment or
service during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock that is at
that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited; provided, however, that,
the Committee may (a) provide in any Restricted Stock Award Agreement that
restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock will be
waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified
causes, and (b) in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or
forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock.

      6.4 Certificates for Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock granted pursuant
to the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If
certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name
of the Participant, certificates must bear an appropriate legend referring to
the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

Restricted Stock, and the Company may, at its discretion, retain physical
possession of the certificate until such time as all applicable restrictions
lapse.

                                    ARTICLE 7

      7.1 Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights.

            (a) A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to any Participant
selected by the Committee. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to such
terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall
impose and shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.

            (b) A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the Participant (or
other person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right pursuant to the
Plan) to exercise all or a specified portion of the Stock Appreciation Right (to
the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the
Company an amount equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market
Value of the Stock on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised over
(B) the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the Stock Appreciation Right
was granted and (ii) the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the
Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, subject to any limitations the Committee
may impose.

      7.2 Payment and Limitations on Exercise. Payment of the amounts determined
under Sections 7.1(b) above shall be in Stock (based on its Fair Market Value as
of the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised) and shall be made subject
to satisfaction of all provisions of Article 5 above pertaining to Options.

                                    ARTICLE 8

                              OTHER TYPES OF AWARDS

      8.1 Performance Share Awards. Any Participant selected by the Committee
may be granted one or more Performance Share awards which shall be denominated
in a number of shares of Stock and which may be linked to any one or more of the
Performance Criteria or other specific performance criteria determined
appropriate by the Committee, in each case on a specified date or dates or over
any period or periods determined by the Committee. In making such
determinations, the Committee shall consider (among such other factors as it
deems relevant in light of the specific type of award) the contributions,
responsibilities and other compensation of the particular Participant.

      8.2 Performance Stock Units. Any Participant selected by the Committee may
be granted one or more Performance Stock Unit awards which shall be denominated
in unit equivalent of shares of Stock and/or units of value including dollar
value of shares of Stock and which may be linked to any one or more of the
Performance Criteria or other specific performance criteria determined
appropriate by the Committee, in each case on a specified date or dates or over
any period or periods determined by the Committee. In making such

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

determinations, the Committee shall consider (among such other factors as it
deems relevant in light of the specific type of award) the contributions,
responsibilities and other compensation of the particular Participant.

      8.3 Dividend Equivalents.

            (a) Any Participant selected by the Committee may be granted
Dividend Equivalents based on the dividends declared on the shares of Stock that
are subject to any Award, to be credited as of dividend payment dates, during
the period between the date the Award is granted and the date the Award is
exercised, vests or expires, as determined by the Committee. Such Dividend
Equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional shares of Stock by such
formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by
the Committee.

            (b) Dividend Equivalents granted with respect to Options or SARs
that are intended to be Qualified Performance-Based Compensation shall be
payable, with respect to pre-exercise periods, regardless of whether such Option
or SAR is subsequently exercised.

      8.4 Stock Payments. Any Participant selected by the Committee may receive
Stock Payments in the manner determined from time to time by the Committee. The
number of shares shall be determined by the Committee and may be based upon the
Performance Criteria or other specific performance criteria determined
appropriate by the Committee, determined on the date such Stock Payment is made
or on any date thereafter.

      8.5 Deferred Stock. Any Participant selected by the Committee may be
granted an award of Deferred Stock in the manner determined from time to time by
the Committee. The number of shares of Deferred Stock shall be determined by the
Committee and may be linked to the Performance Criteria or other specific
performance criteria determined to be appropriate by the Committee, in each case
on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the
Committee. Stock underlying a Deferred Stock award will not be issued until the
Deferred Stock award has vested, pursuant to a vesting schedule or performance
criteria set by the Committee. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, a
Participant awarded Deferred Stock shall have no rights as a Company stockholder
with respect to such Deferred Stock until such time as the Deferred Stock Award
has vested and the Stock underlying the Deferred Stock Award has been issued.

      8.6 Restricted Stock Units. The Committee is authorized to make Awards of
Restricted Stock Units to any Participant selected by the Committee in such
amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee.
At the time of grant, the Committee shall specify the date or dates on which the
Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable, and may
specify such conditions to vesting as it deems appropriate. At the time of
grant, the Committee shall specify the maturity date applicable to each grant of
Restricted Stock Units which shall be no earlier than the vesting date or dates
of the Award and may be determined at the election of the grantee. On the
maturity date, the Company shall, subject to Section 10.5(b), transfer to the
Participant one unrestricted, fully transferable share of Stock for each
Restricted Stock Unit scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

forfeited. The Committee shall specify the purchase price, if any, to be paid by
the grantee to the Company for such shares of Stock.

      8.7 Performance Bonus Awards. Any Participant selected by the Committee
may be granted one or more Performance-Based Awards in the form of a cash bonus
(a "Performance Bonus Award") payable upon the attainment of Performance Goals
that are established by the Committee and relate to one or more of the
Performance Criteria, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any
period or periods determined by the Committee. Any such Performance Bonus Award
paid to a Covered Employee shall be based upon objectively determinable bonus
formulas established in accordance with Article 9.

      8.8 Term. Except as otherwise provided herein, the term of any Award of
Performance Shares, Performance Stock Units, Dividend Equivalents, Stock
Payments, Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be set by the Committee
in its discretion.

      8.9 Exercise or Purchase Price. The Committee may establish the exercise
or purchase price, if any, of any Award of Performance Shares, Performance Stock
Units, Deferred Stock, Stock Payments or Restricted Stock Units; provided,
however, that such price shall not be less than the par value of a share of
Stock on the date of grant, unless otherwise permitted by applicable state law.

      8.10 Exercise upon Termination of Employment or Service. An Award of
Performance Shares, Performance Stock Units, Dividend Equivalents, Deferred
Stock, Stock Payments and Restricted Stock Units shall only be exercisable or
payable while the Participant is an Employee, Consultant or a member of the
Board, as applicable; provided, however, that the Committee in its sole and
absolute discretion may provide that an Award of Performance Shares, Performance
Stock Units, Dividend Equivalents, Stock Payments, Deferred Stock or Restricted
Stock Units may be exercised or paid subsequent to a termination of employment
or service, as applicable, or following a Change in Control of the Company, or
because of the Participant's retirement, death or disability, or otherwise;
provided, however, that any such provision with respect to Performance Shares or
Performance Stock Units shall be subject to the requirements of Section 162(m)
of the Code that apply to Qualified Performance-Based Compensation.

      8.11 Form of Payment. Payments with respect to any Awards granted under
this Article 8 shall be made in cash, in Stock or a combination of both, as
determined by the Committee.

      8.12 Award Agreement. All Awards under this Article 8 shall be subject to
such additional terms and conditions as determined by the Committee and shall be
evidenced by an Award Agreement.

                                    ARTICLE 9

                            PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS

      9.1 Purpose. The purpose of this Article 9 is to provide the Committee the
ability to qualify Awards other than Options and SARs and that are granted
pursuant to Articles 6 and 8 as Qualified Performance-Based Compensation. If the
Committee, in its discretion, decides to

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

grant a Performance-Based Award to a Covered Employee, the provisions of this
Article 9 shall control over any contrary provision contained in Articles 6 or
8; provided, however, that the Committee may in its discretion grant Awards to
Covered Employees that are based on Performance Criteria or Performance Goals
but that do not satisfy the requirements of this Article 9.

      9.2 Applicability. This Article 9 shall apply only to those Covered
Employees selected by the Committee to receive Performance-Based Awards. The
designation of a Covered Employee as a Participant for a Performance Period
shall not in any manner entitle the Participant to receive an Award for the
period. Moreover, designation of a Covered Employee as a Participant for a
particular Performance Period shall not require designation of such Covered
Employee as a Participant in any subsequent Performance Period and designation
of one Covered Employee as a Participant shall not require designation of any
other Covered Employees as a Participant in such period or in any other period.

      9.3 Procedures with Respect to Performance-Based Awards. To the extent
necessary to comply with the Qualified Performance-Based Compensation
requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to any Award
granted under Articles 6 and 8 which may be granted to one or more Covered
Employees, no later than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any
fiscal year in question or any other designated fiscal period or period of
service (or such other time as may be required or permitted by Section 162(m) of
the Code), the Committee shall, in writing, (a) designate one or more Covered
Employees, (b) select the Performance Criteria applicable to the Performance
Period, (c) establish the Performance Goals, and amounts of such Awards, as
applicable, which may be earned for such Performance Period, and (d) specify the
relationship between Performance Criteria and the Performance Goals and the
amounts of such Awards, as applicable, to be earned by each Covered Employee for
such Performance Period. Following the completion of each Performance Period,
the Committee shall certify in writing whether the applicable Performance Goals
have been achieved for such Performance Period. In determining the amount earned
by a Covered Employee, the Committee shall have the right to reduce or eliminate
(but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take
into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant to the
assessment of individual or corporate performance for the Performance Period.

      9.4 Payment of Performance-Based Awards. Unless otherwise provided in the
applicable Award Agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company or a
Subsidiary on the day a Performance-Based Award for such Performance Period is
paid to the Participant. Furthermore, a Participant shall be eligible to receive
payment pursuant to a Performance-Based Award for a Performance Period only if
the Performance Goals for such period are achieved. In determining the amount
earned under a Performance-Based Award, the Committee may reduce or eliminate
the amount of the Performance-Based Award earned for the Performance Period, if
in its sole and absolute discretion, such reduction or elimination is
appropriate.

      9.5 Additional Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan, any Award which is granted to a Covered Employee and is intended to
constitute Qualified Performance-Based Compensation shall be subject to any
additional limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code (including any
amendment to Section 162(m) of the Code) or any regulations or rulings issued
thereunder that are requirements for qualification as qualified
performance-based

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, and the Plan
shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.

                                   ARTICLE 10

                         PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

      10.1 Stand-Alone and Tandem Awards. Awards granted pursuant to the Plan
may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone, in addition
to, or in tandem with, any other Award granted pursuant to the Plan. Awards
granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may be granted either at
the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards.

      10.2 Award Agreement. Awards under the Plan shall be evidenced by Award
Agreements that set forth the terms, conditions and limitations for each Award
which may include the term of an Award, the provisions applicable in the event
the Participant's employment or service terminates, and the Company's authority
to unilaterally or bilaterally amend, modify, suspend, cancel or rescind an
Award.

      10.3 Limits on Transfer. No right or interest of a Participant in any
Award may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party
other than the Company or a Subsidiary, or shall be subject to any lien,
obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the
Company or a Subsidiary. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, no Award
shall be assigned, transferred, or otherwise disposed of by a Participant other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee by express
provision in the Award or an amendment thereto may permit an Award (other than
an Incentive Stock Option) to be transferred to, exercised by and paid to
certain persons or entities related to the Participant, including but not
limited to members of the Participant's family, charitable institutions, or
trusts or other entities whose beneficiaries or beneficial owners are members of
the Participant's family and/or charitable institutions, or to such other
persons or entities as may be expressly approved by the Committee, pursuant to
such conditions and procedures as the Committee may establish. Any permitted
transfer shall be subject to the condition that the Committee receive evidence
satisfactory to it that the transfer is being made for estate and/or tax
planning purposes (or to a "blind trust" in connection with the Participant's
termination of employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary to assume
a position with a governmental, charitable, educational or similar non-profit
institution) and on a basis consistent with the Company's lawful issue of
securities.

      10.4 Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding Section 10.3, a Participant may, in
the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the
rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any
Award upon the Participant's death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal
representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is
subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement
applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Agreement
otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or
appropriate by the Committee. If the Participant is married and resides in a
community property state, a designation of a person other than the

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

Participant's spouse as his or her beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of
the Participant's interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior
written consent of the Participant's spouse. If no beneficiary has been
designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the person
entitled thereto pursuant to the Participant's will or the laws of descent and
distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed
or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is
filed with the Committee.

      10.5 Stock Certificates; Book Entry Procedures.

            (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company
shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing shares of
Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Board has
determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance and delivery of such
certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of
governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on
which the shares of Stock are listed or traded. All Stock certificates delivered
pursuant to the Plan are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other
restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with
federal, state, or foreign jurisdiction, securities or other laws, rules and
regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated
quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee
may place legends on any Stock certificate to reference restrictions applicable
to the Stock. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board
may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and
representations as the Board, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to
comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Committee shall
have the right to require any Participant to comply with any timing or other
restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including
a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the
Committee.

            (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless
otherwise determined by the Committee or required by any applicable law, rule or
regulation, the Company shall not deliver to any Participant certificates
evidencing shares of Stock issued in connection with any Award and instead such
shares of Stock shall be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as
applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator).

      10.6 Paperless Exercise. In the event that the Company establishes, for
itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the
exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive
voice response, then the paperless exercise of Awards by a Participant may be
permitted through the use of such an automated system.

                                   ARTICLE 11

                          CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

      11.1 Adjustments. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, spin-off,
recapitalization or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of
Company assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the shares of
Stock or the share price of the Stock, the Committee shall make such
proportionate adjustments, if any, as the Committee in its discretion may deem
appropriate to reflect such

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

change with respect to (a) the aggregate number and kind of shares that may be
issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the
limitations in Sections 3.1 and 3.3); (b) the terms and conditions of any
outstanding Awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance
targets or criteria with respect thereto); and (c) the grant or exercise price
per share for any outstanding Awards under the Plan. Any adjustment affecting an
Award intended as Qualified Performance-Based Compensation shall be made
consistent with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.

      11.2 Change in Control. In the event of any transaction or event described
in Section 11.1 or any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting
the Company, any affiliate of the Company, or the financial statements of the
Company or any affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or
accounting principles, the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, and
on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the
Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event
and either automatically or upon the Participant's request, is hereby authorized
to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Committee
determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available
under the Plan or with respect to any Award under the Plan, to facilitate such
transactions or events or to give effect to such changes in laws, regulations or
principles:

                  (i) To provide for either (A) termination of any such Award in
exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been
attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant's
rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of
the transaction or event described in this Section 11.2 the Committee determines
in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such
Award or realization of the Participant's rights, then such Award may be
terminated by the Company without payment) or (B) the replacement of such Award
with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole discretion;

                  (ii) To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or
survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted
for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or
survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate
adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

                  (iii) To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of
Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards,
and in the number and kind of outstanding Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock
and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price),
and the criteria included in, outstanding options, rights and awards and
options, rights and awards which may be granted in the future;

                  (iv) To provide that such Award shall be exercisable or
payable or fully vested with respect to all shares covered thereby,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable Award
Agreement; and

                  (v) To provide that the Award cannot vest, be exercised or
become payable after such event.

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

      11.3 Acceleration Upon a Change in Control. Notwithstanding Section 11.2,
and except as may otherwise be provided in any applicable Award Agreement or
other written agreement entered into between the Company and a Participant, if a
Change in Control occurs and a Participant's Awards are not converted, assumed,
or replaced by a successor entity, then immediately prior to the Change in
Control such Awards shall become fully exercisable and all forfeiture
restrictions on such Awards shall lapse. Upon, or in anticipation of, a Change
in Control, the Committee may cause any and all Awards outstanding hereunder to
terminate at a specific time in the future, including but not limited to the
date of such Change in Control, and shall give each Participant the right to
exercise such Awards during a period of time as the Committee, in its sole and
absolute discretion, shall determine.

      11.4 Outstanding Awards - Certain Mergers. Subject to any required action
by the stockholders of the Company, in the event that the Company shall be the
surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation (except a merger or
consolidation as a result of which the holders of shares of Stock receive
securities of another corporation), each Award outstanding on the date of such
merger or consolidation shall pertain to and apply to the securities that a
holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to such Award would have
received in such merger or consolidation.

      11.5 Outstanding Awards - Other Changes. In the event of any other change
in the capitalization of the Company or corporate change other than those
specifically referred to in this Article 11, the Committee may, in its absolute
discretion, make such adjustments in the number and kind of shares or other
securities subject to Awards outstanding on the date on which such change occurs
and in the per share grant or exercise price of each Award as the Committee may
consider appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.

      11.6 No Other Rights. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no
Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation
of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or
decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or any dissolution,
liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation.
Except as expressly provided in the Plan or pursuant to action of the Committee
under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares
of Stock subject to an Award or the grant or exercise price of any Award.

                                   ARTICLE 12

                                 ADMINISTRATION

      12.1 Committee. Unless and until the Board delegates administration of the
Plan to a Committee as set forth below, the Plan shall be administered by the
full Board, and for such purposes the term "Committee" as used in this Plan
shall be deemed to refer to the Board. The Board, at its discretion or as
otherwise necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the
Code, Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act or to the extent required by
any other applicable rule or regulation, shall delegate administration of the
Plan to a Committee. The Committee shall consist solely of two or more members
of the Board each of

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

whom is (a) an "outside director," within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the
Code, (b) a Non-Employee Director and (c) an "independent director" under the
rules of NASDAQ (or other principal securities market on which shares of Stock
are traded). Notwithstanding the foregoing: (x) the full Board, acting by a
majority of its members in office, shall conduct the general administration of
the Plan with respect to all Awards granted to Independent Directors and for
purposes of such Awards the term "Committee" as used in this Plan shall be
deemed to refer to the Board and (y) the Committee may delegate its authority
hereunder to the extent permitted by Section 12.5. Appointment of Committee
members shall be effective upon acceptance of appointment. In its sole
discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all
rights and duties of the Committee under the Plan except with respect to matters
which under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or Section 162(m) of the Code, or
any regulations or rules issued thereunder, are required to be determined in the
sole discretion of the Committee. Committee members may resign at any time by
delivering written notice to the Board. Vacancies in the Committee may only be
filled by the Board.

      12.2 Action by the Committee. A majority of the Committee shall constitute
a quorum. The acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which
a quorum is present, and acts approved in writing by a majority of the Committee
in lieu of a meeting, shall be deemed the acts of the Committee. Each member of
the Committee is entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or
other information furnished to that member by any officer or other employee of
the Company or any Subsidiary, the Company's independent certified public
accountants, or any executive compensation consultant or other professional
retained by the Company to assist in the administration of the Plan.

      12.3 Authority of Committee. Subject to any specific designation in the
Plan, the Committee has the exclusive power, authority and discretion to:

            (a) Designate Participants to receive Awards;

            (b) Determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to each
Participant;

            (c) Determine the number of Awards to be granted and the number of
shares of Stock to which an Award will relate;

            (d) Determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted pursuant
to the Plan, including, but not limited to, the exercise price, grant price, or
purchase price, any reload provision, any restrictions or limitations on the
Award, any schedule for lapse of forfeiture restrictions or restrictions on the
exercisability of an Award, and accelerations or waivers thereof, any provisions

for each Participant;

determinations by the Committee with respect to the Plan are final, binding, and
conclusive on all parties.

      12.5 Delegation of Authority. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
the Committee may from time to time delegate to a committee of one or more

grant or amend Awards to Participants other than (a) senior executives of the
Company who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, (b) Covered
Employees, or (c) officers of the Company (or members of the Board) to whom
authority to grant or amend Awards has been delegated hereunder. Any delegation
hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Committee

rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegatee. At all times, the
delegatee appointed under this Section 12.5 shall serve in such capacity at the

      13.1 Effective Date. The Plan is effective as of the date the Plan is
approved by the Company's stockholders (the "Effective Date"). The Plan will be
deemed to be approved by the stockholders if it receives the affirmative vote of
the holders of a majority of the shares of stock of the Company present or
represented and entitled to vote at a meeting duly held in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Company's Bylaws.

      13.2 Expiration Date. The Plan will expire on, and no Award may be granted

Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE 14

                    AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION

      14.1 Amendment, Modification, and Termination. Subject to Section 15.14,
with the approval of the Board, at any time and from time to time, the Committee
may terminate, amend or modify the Plan; provided, however, that (a) to the
extent necessary and desirable to comply with any applicable law, regulation, or
stock exchange rule, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan
amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required, and (b) stockholder
approval is required for any amendment to the Plan that (i) increases the number
of shares available under the Plan (other than any adjustment as provided by
Article 11), (ii) permits the Committee to grant Options with an exercise price
that is below Fair Market Value on the date of grant, or (iii) permits the
Committee to extend the exercise period for an Option beyond ten years from the
date of grant or (iv) results in a material increase in benefits or a change in
eligibility requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the
contrary, absent approval of the stockholders of the Company, no Option may be
amended to reduce the per share exercise price of the shares subject to such
Option below the per share exercise price as of the date the Option is granted
and, except as permitted by Article 11, no Option may be granted in exchange
for, or in connection with, the cancellation or surrender of an Option having a
higher per share exercise price.

      14.2 Awards Previously Granted. Except with respect to amendments made
pursuant to Section 15.14, no termination, amendment, or modification of the
Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted
pursuant to the Plan without the prior written consent of the Participant.

                                   ARTICLE 15

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

      15.1 No Rights to Awards. No Eligible Individual, Participant, or other
person shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and
neither the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Eligible
Individuals, Participants or any other persons uniformly.

      15.2 No Stockholders Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, a
Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to
shares of Stock covered by any Award until the Participant becomes the record
owner of such shares of Stock.

      15.3 Withholding. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority
and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the
Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes
(including the Participant's employment tax obligations) required by law to be
withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a Participant arising as a
result of this Plan. The Committee may in its discretion and in satisfaction of
the foregoing requirement allow a Participant to elect to have the Company
withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the return
of shares of Stock) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be
withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of shares
of Stock which may be withheld with

                                      -21-
<PAGE>

respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award (or which may
be repurchased from the Participant of such Award within six months (or such
other period as may be determined by the Committee) after such shares of Stock
were acquired by the Participant from the Company) in order to satisfy the
Participant's federal, state, local and foreign income and payroll tax
liabilities with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of the
Award shall be limited to the number of shares which have a Fair Market Value on
the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such
liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state,
local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to
such supplemental taxable income.

      15.4 No Right to Employment or Services. Nothing in the Plan or any Award
Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or
any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant's employment or services at any
time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ or
service of the Company or any Subsidiary.

      15.5 Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an "unfunded"
plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a
Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award
Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a
general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary.

      15.6 Indemnification. To the extent allowable pursuant to applicable law,
each member of the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be
imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or
resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be
a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure
to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him
or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against
him or her; provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own
expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and
defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall
not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons
may be entitled pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have
to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

      15.7 Relationship to other Benefits. No payment pursuant to the Plan shall
be taken into account in determining any benefits pursuant to any pension,
retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit
plan of the Company or any Subsidiary except to the extent otherwise expressly
provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.

      15.8 Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by
the Company and its Subsidiaries.

      15.9 Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the Sections in the
Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict,
the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

                                      -22-

      15.10 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued and
the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in
lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated
by rounding up or down as appropriate.

      15.11 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any
Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be
subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule
under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3
under the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such
exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards
granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to
conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

      15.12 Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company to
make payment of awards in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable
laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by government agencies as
may be required. The Company shall be under no obligation to register pursuant
to the Securities Act, as amended, any of the shares of Stock paid pursuant to
the Plan. If the shares paid pursuant to the Plan may in certain circumstances
be exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities Act, as amended, the
Company may restrict the transfer of such shares in such manner as it deems
advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.

      15.13 Governing Law. The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed
in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

      15.14 Section 409A. To the extent that the Committee determines that any
Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award
Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions
required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and
Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the
Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance
issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other
guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any
provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective
Date the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of
the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department
of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Effective Date), the Committee
may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or
adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and
procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the
Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from
Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the
benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements
of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance.
