build personal financial security through creating and maintaining value in the
Company for all shareholders. This Plan allows the Company to grant two types of

<PAGE>

determine. From time to time, the Board may increase the size of the Committee
and appoint additional members, remove members, fill vacancies (however caused),
and remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the
Plan. Decisions of a Committee made within the discretion delegated to it by the
Board will be final and binding on all persons who have an interest in the Plan.

     (a) Administration With Respect to Directors and Officers Subject to
Section 16(b). The composition of any Committee responsible for administration
of the Plan with respect to Optionees who are subject to the trading
restrictions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act with respect to securities of
the Company will comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3.

     (b) Authority of the Administrator. The Administrator of the Plan will have
full authority to administer the Plan within the scope of its delegated
responsibilities, including authority to interpret and construe any relevant
provision of the Plan, to adopt such rules and regulations as it may deem
necessary, and to determine the terms and conditions of Option grants made under
the Plan (which need not be identical). Without limiting the foregoing, the
Administrator will have the authority, in its discretion:

          (i) to determine whether and to what extent Options are granted
     hereunder;

          (ii) to select the Employees to whom Options may be granted hereunder;

          (iii) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each Option
     granted hereunder;

          (iv) to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock;

          (v) to approve forms of the Option Agreement for use under the Plan;

          (vi) to determine the time period during which an Option may be
     exercised, provided that the time period for an Incentive Stock Option may
     not be more than ten (10) years;

          (vii) to determine the terms and conditions not inconsistent with
     those of the Plan, of any award of an Option granted hereunder, including,
     but not limited to, the Exercise Price; the time or times when Options may
     be exercised; all vesting provisions; any waiver of forfeiture
     restrictions; and any restriction or limitation regarding any Option or the
     Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the
     Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

          (viii) to determine whether and to what extent the Company should
     grant or permit loans or guarantee loans in connection with the grant or
     the exercise of an Option by an Optionee pursuant to Section 12 hereof;

          (ix) with the consent of the affected Optionee, to effect, at any time
     and from time to time, the cancellation of any or all outstanding Options
     under the Plan and to grant new Options in substitution therefor, in
     accordance with Section 14 hereof;

          (x) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to
     the Plan;

          (xi) to modify, amend or waive the terms, conditions and restrictions
     of any outstanding Option; provided, however, no such modification,
     amendment or waiver shall, without the written consent of the Optionee,
     impair the Optionee's rights or increase the Optionee's obligations with
     respect to such Option;

          (xii) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any
     instrument required to effect the grant of an Option previously granted by
     the Administrator;

          (xiii) to institute an Option Exchange Program; and

          (xiv) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable
     for administering the Plan.

     (c) Effect of Administrator's Decision. The Administrator's decisions,
determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all Optionees
and any other holders of Options.

     5. Eligibility. From time to time, the Administrator may, in its
discretion, select individuals from among the Employees, Directors and
Consultants of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to receive Options under
the Plan.


                                       3

     6. Terms and Conditions of Options.

     (a) Option Agreement. Each Option granted under the Plan will be evidenced
by an Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such Options will
be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and such
instruments may contain other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent
with the purpose of the Plan and which the Administrator deems appropriate for
inclusion in an Option Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option
Agreement or any other written agreement between the Company and an Optionee may
contain other terms and conditions concerning the Option (including, without
limitation, terms and conditions relating to vesting) as are mutually agreed to
by the Optionee and the Company. The provisions of the various Option Agreements
or other agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

     (b) Number of Shares. Each Option Agreement shall specify the number of
Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of
such number in accordance with Section 8 hereof.

     (c) Character of Options. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be
designated in the Option Agreement as either a Nonstatutory Stock Option or an
Incentive Stock Option, as the case may be.

     (d) Exercise Price. Each Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price.
Subject to the discretion of the Administrator, the Exercise Price of an Option
shall be the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

     (e) Payment. The Exercise Price of each Option will be payable immediately
and in full upon exercise; provided, however, that the Administrator may, either
at the time the Option is granted or at the time it is exercised and subject to
such limitations as it may determine, authorize payment of all or a portion of
the Exercise Price in one or a combination of the following forms:

          (i) cash;

          (ii) check;

          (iii) a promissory note (but only if authorized or allowed pursuant to
     Sections 12 and 22(e) hereof);

          (iv) other Shares of Common Stock which have a Fair Market Value on
     the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares
     as to which the Option will be exercised;

          (v) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with
     irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the
     amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the Exercise Price;

          (vi) utilization of the cashless exercise method described in Section
     6(h) hereof; (vii) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or

          (viii) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance
     of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

     In the event that the Company's Common Stock is Publicly Traded, unless
otherwise provided in the Option Agreement, the methods of payment set forth in
subparagraphs (iii) and (vi) above shall not be permitted hereunder.

     (f) Exercisability. Each Option Agreement shall specify the date when all
or any portion of the Option will become exercisable, any conditions which must
be satisfied before the Option may be exercised and the term of the Option.

     (g) Nontransferability of Options. An Option may not be sold, pledged,
assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised, during the
lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.

     (h) Termination of Employment. In the event that an Optionee's employment
by the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary terminates (other than upon the
Optionee's death or Disability), or a Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary (in
which event the employment of such company's employees will be deemed to be


                                       4

<PAGE>

terminated under this Plan), the Optionee may exercise his or her Option, but
only within such applicable period of time as is set forth below, and, except as
otherwise provided by written agreement between the Optionee and the Company,
only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of
termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). If, after termination, the
Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the applicable time period
specified below, the Option shall terminate. For purposes of this Subsection
6(h), the Optionee's employment shall not be considered to have been terminated
in the case of any leave of absence approved by the Board, including sick leave,
military leave, or any other personal leave. For Incentive Stock Options,
Optionee shall have a period of three (3) months from the date of termination of
employment. For Nonstatutory Stock Options, in the event that the Common Stock
of the Company is then Publicly Traded, Optionee shall have a period of six (6)
months and one day from the date of termination of employment, and in the event
that the Common Stock of the Company is not then Publicly Traded, Optionee shall
have a period of twelve (12) months and one day from the date of termination of
employment. During the applicable period the Optionee may either (i) exercise
his or her Option by delivery of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 7 hereof
or, if the Common Stock of the Company is not then Publicly Traded and if
provided for in Optionee's Option Agreement, (ii) deliver the requisite Exercise
Price by utilizing a cashless election procedure at a price per share equal to
the Fair Market Value of a Share of Common Stock as of the date of termination
of employment (provided that the Administrator is not otherwise prohibited by
Company loan agreements or related contractual obligations from permitting such
cashless election procedure.) The cashless election procedure is also available
to Optionee, at anytime prior to termination of employment, if provided for as a
designated method in the Option Agreement and subject to the other terms and
conditions of the Plan and the Option Agreement. If the Company is publicly
traded, the Company, working with the brokerage firm, if any, designated by the
Company to facilitate exercises of options and sales of shares under this Plan,
may from time to time amend the procedures set forth herein and may specify
additional or different procedures for a cashless exercise for any or all
Optionees. Optionee shall be responsible for satisfying all applicable federal,
state, local and employment tax withholding requirements associated with such
exercise and must evidence the ability to satisfy such withholding requirements
prior to such exercise.

     (i) Disability of Optionee. In the event that an Optionee's employment
terminates as a result of the Optionee's Disability, the Optionee may exercise
his or her Option at any time within twelve (12) months from the date of such
termination, but, except as otherwise provided by written agreement between the
Optionee and the Company, only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to
exercise it at the date of such termination (but in no event later than the
expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). If,
after termination of employment, the Optionee does not exercise his or her
Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

     (j) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an Optionee, the Option
may be exercised at any time within twenty-four (24) months following the date
of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option
as set forth in the Option Agreement), by the Optionee's estate or by a person
who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but,
except as otherwise provided by written agreement between the Optionee and the
Company, only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise the
Option at the date of death. If, after death, the Optionee's estate or a person
who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance does not
exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate.

     7. Procedure for Exercise. Any Option granted hereunder shall be
exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such
conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option
Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

     An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written
notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person
entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with
respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any
consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and
permitted in the Option Agreement and the Plan. If the Company is publicly
traded, the Company, working with the brokerage firm, if any, designated by


                                       5

<PAGE>

the Company to facilitate exercises of options and sales of shares under this
Plan, may from time to time amend the procedures set forth herein and may
specify additional or different procedures.

     Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the
Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his
or her spouse. Until the stock certificate evidencing such Shares is issued (as
evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends
or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned
Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue or
cause to be issued such stock certificate promptly after the Option is
exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which
the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as
provided in Section 8 hereof.

     8. Adjustments.

     (a) Changes in Capitalization. In the event of a stock split, reverse stock
split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or
any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock
effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, the number of shares
of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option, and the number of shares of
Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to
which no Options have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan
upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well as the price per share of
Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common
Stock. Any conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be
deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment
shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final,
binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, 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 or price of shares of Common Stock subject
to an Option.

     (b) Corporate Structure. In the event of a merger, consolidation,
acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or other change to
the capital or business structure of the Company (including, without limitation,
by means of an exchange offer or other transaction) (collectively, a
"Reorganization" ) the effect of which is to organize a parent company of the
Company which will own not less than 50% of the capital stock of the Company
(such parent company is hereinafter referred to as "Company Holdings" ), the
Administrator shall have the authority to effect, without the consent of the
Optionees, (x) the cancellation of all outstanding Options granted under the
Plan and substitute therefor options to purchase shares of Company Holdings
("New Options"), or (y) the assumption by Company Holdings of Options granted
under the Plan; provided, however, that (i) immediately after the Reorganization
the excess of the aggregate fair market value of all shares subject to New
Options over the aggregate option prices of all shares subject to New Options
shall equal but not be more than the excess of the aggregate fair market value
immediately preceding the Reorganization of all shares subject to Options
granted under the Plan over the aggregate option prices of all shares subject to
Options granted under the Plan, and (ii) New Options, or the assumption or
substitution of Options granted under the Plan, do not give an Optionee
additional benefits which such Optionee did not have under Options granted under
the Plan. Such a Reorganization shall not be treated as a Triggering Event or a
Change of Control (as defined in the Option Agreement, as applicable) for
purposes of the Plan and related Option Agreement. The grant of Options under
this Plan will in no way affect the right of the Company to adjust, reclassify,
reorganize, or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge,
consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its
business or assets or effect any other Reorganization.

     (c) Substitutions and Assumptions. The Board shall have the right to
substitute or assume options in connection with mergers, reorganizations,
separations, or other "corporate transactions" as that term is defined in and
said substitutions and assumptions are permitted by Section 424 of the Code (as
however amended or superseded) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Any
shares or Options issued upon the assumption of or in substitution for
outstanding awards made by a corporation or other business entity acquired by
the Company shall not reduce the number of Shares or Options issuable under the
Plan (unless such shares or


                                       6

<PAGE>

Options are made available to individuals who become, upon the acquisition, an
Officer or otherwise an individual subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act).

     9. Date of Grant. Subject to applicable statutory approval, the date of the
grant of an Option shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the
Administrator makes the determination to grant such Option, or such other date
as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination to grant an
Option shall be provided to the Optionee within a reasonable time after the date
of such grant.

     10. No Employment Rights. Neither the Plan nor any Option shall confer upon
any Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company of any affiliate
or constitute a contract or agreement of employment or interfere in any way with
any right that the Company or an affiliate may have to reduce such Employee's
compensation or to terminate such Employee's employment at any time with or
without cause; however, nothing contained in the Plan or in any Option granted
under the Plan shall affect any contractual rights of an Employee pursuant to a
written employment agreement.

     11. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

     (a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter,
suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part.

     (b) Shareholder Approval. The Company shall obtain shareholder approval of
any Plan amendment in such a manner and to the extent necessary and desirable to
comply with Rule 16b-3 or with Section 422 of the Code (or with any successor
rule or statute or other Applicable Law, rule or regulation including the
requirements of any exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is
then listed or quoted).

     (c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration,
suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights or increase the
obligations of any Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the
Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by
the Optionee and the Company.

     12. Loans. In order to assist an Optionee in the acquisition of Shares
pursuant to an Option granted under the Plan, the Administrator may authorize,
at either the time of the grant of an Option or the time of the acquisition of
Shares under the Option, (i) the extension of a loan to the Optionee by the
Company, or (ii) the guarantee by the Company of a loan obtained by the Optionee
from a third party. The terms of any loans or guarantees, including the amount,
interest rate and terms of repayment, will be subject to the discretion of the
Administrator and applicable covenants contained in Company loan agreements.
Loans and guarantees may be granted without security, the maximum credit
available being the Exercise Price of the Shares acquired plus the maximum
federal and state income and employment tax liability that may be incurred in
connection with the acquisition.

     13. Withholding.

     (a) Obligation. The Company's obligation to deliver stock certificates upon
the exercise of an Option will be subject to the Optionee's satisfaction, in the
Administrator's sole discretion, of all applicable federal, state and local
income and employment tax withholding requirements.

     (b) Payment. In the event that an Optionee is required to pay to the
Company an amount with respect to income and employment tax withholding
obligations in connection with the exercise of an Option, the Administrator may,
in its discretion and subject to such limitations and rules as it may adopt,
permit the Optionee to satisfy the obligation, in whole or in part, by
delivering shares of Common Stock already held by the Optionee or by making an
irrevocable election that a portion of the total value of the Shares subject to
the Option be paid in the form of cash in lieu of the issuance of Common Stock,
and that such cash payment be applied to the satisfaction of the withholding
obligations.

     14. Option Exchange Program. The Administrator will have the authority to
effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the affected
Optionees, the cancellation of any or all outstanding Options under the Plan and
to grant in substitution therefor new Options under the Plan covering the same
or different numbers of Shares, but, in accordance with Section 6 hereof, having
an Exercise Price not less than


                                       7

<PAGE>

one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value on the new grant date,
unless otherwise permitted by the Administrator.

     15. Compliance with Federal and State Laws. Shares will not be issued
pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the
issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions
of law and the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system upon which
the Shares may then be listed or quoted, and shall be further subject to the
approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

     As a condition to the grant or exercise of an Option, or to the issuance of
any Shares under any Option, the Administrator may require the Optionee to
provide such written representations, covenants, warranties and agreements
which, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, are required to comply with
applicable law or satisfy the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation
system upon which the Shares may then be listed or quoted.

     The Company undertakes to use all reasonable efforts to either register the
Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an Option or assure that an
exemption from registration is available in connection with such exercise. In
the event that the Company shall deem it necessary or desirable to register any
shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option shall have been or may
be exercised, or to qualify any such shares for exemptions pursuant to
applicable statutes, then the Company may take such action and may require from
the Optionee such information in writing for use in any registration statement,
supplementary registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus,
offering circular or any other document that is reasonably necessary for such
purpose and may require reasonable indemnity to the Company and its officers and
