<PAGE>



                                TEAM MUCHO, INC.

                             2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN

     1.   PURPOSE. The purpose of the TEAM Mucho, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan
(the "Plan") is to (i) advance the growth and prosperity of TEAM Mucho, Inc., an
Ohio corporation (the "Corporation"), and its subsidiaries, (ii) attract and
retain key employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, and (iii) further
align the interests of such employees, consultants and directors of the
Corporation with those of the Corporation's shareholders, by providing
employees, consultants, and directors of the Corporation and its subsidiaries
with an additional incentive to contribute to the best interests of the
Corporation. Without prejudice to other compensation programs approved from time
to time by the Board of Directors (the "Board") and/or shareholders of the
Corporation, such additional incentive is to be given to qualifying employees by
means of stock options provided for under the Plan. In the discretion of the
Board and the Committee (as defined below), such options may be "Incentive Stock
Options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"), or "non-statutory" stock options.

     2.   ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

          (a)   Subject to Section 2(f), the Plan shall be administered by the
Board unless and until such time as the Board delegates administration to a
committee pursuant to subparagraph 2(c) below (the "Committee").

          (b)   The Board shall have the power, in its sole discretion:

               (i) To determine from time to time which of the qualifying
employees and participants (as defined below) shall be granted options under the
Plan, the term of each option granted, the time or times at which all or
portions of each option will become vested and exercisable, the expiration of
each option, whether the options granted shall be Incentive Stock Options or
non-statutory options, and the number of shares for which each option shall be
granted.

               (ii)   To construe and interpret the Plan and options granted
under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its
administration consistent with the Plan's provisions and purposes. The Board, in
the exercise of this power, shall generally determine all questions of policy
and expediency that may arise and may correct any defect, omission or
inconsistency in the Plan or in any option agreement in a manner and to the
extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully effective.

               (iii)   To prescribe the terms and provisions of each option
granted (which need not be identical).

               (iv)   To amend the Plan as provided herein.

               (v)   Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts
as are deemed necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the
Corporation.

          (c)   The Board, by resolution, may delegate administration of the
Plan (including, without limitation, the Board's powers under subparagraph 2(b))
to a Committee composed of not less than two (2) members, which Committee, upon
such time as the Corporation has a class of equity security registered under
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), will be constituted so as to permit the Plan to comply with applicable
exemptions under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 16b-3(d) thereunder
(as amended, or any successor or similar statute or rule). If administration is
delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in connection with the
administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board,
subject, however, to such constraints, not inconsistent with the provisions of
the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board at any
time may remove members from or add members to the Committee or may abolish the
Committee and revest in the Board the administration of the Plan, with or
without cause. Vacancies on the Committee, howsoever caused, shall be filled by
the Board. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum
for any meeting of the Committee, and actions of the Committee may be taken by a
majority of the members present at a meeting if a quorum exists. In addition,
action may be taken by a written instrument signed by all the members of the
Committee, and any action so taken shall be fully effective as if it had been
taken at a meeting.


<PAGE>

          (d)   Beginning at such time as the Corporation has a class of equity
security registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan or any option granted hereunder, the Board or the
Committee shall administer the Plan (including any requirements as to
participation by non-employee directors), and the Board may amend the Plan or
any such option, in such manner as the Board may determine, on the advice of
counsel, to be necessary or desirable to satisfy the provisions of Section 16(b)
of the Exchange Act and Rule 16b-3 (as amended, or any successor or similar
statute or rule). Beginning at such time, any provision of the Plan or any
option granted hereunder to the contrary notwithstanding, except to the extent
that the Board or the Committee expressly determines otherwise in writing,
transactions under this Plan by and with respect to officers and directors of
the Company who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act shall comply
with all applicable conditions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule
16b-3 thereunder (as amended, or any successor or similar statute or rule)
necessary to make such transactions exempt thereunder.

          (e)   The interpretation and construction by the Board of any
provisions of the Plan or of any option granted under it, if made in good faith,
shall be final, and the interpretation or construction by any Committee
appointed pursuant to subparagraph 2(c) of any such provisions or option shall
also, if made in good faith and unless otherwise determined by the Board, be
final. No member of such Committee or of the Board shall be liable for any
action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any
option granted under it.

          (f)   In the event the Corporation becomes a publicly held corporation
within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, a Code Section 162(m)
Committee shall act with all powers and responsibilities of the Board (or the
Committee) with respect to each person covered by the deduction limitation of
Code Section 162(m), as described by Code Section 162(m)(3). The Code Section
162(m) Committee shall be comprised of two or more Board members who meet the
requirements described in Section 2c and who also each meet the requirements of
an "outside director" within the meaning of Code Section 162(m). Any reference
to Committee or Board herein shall refer to the Code Section 162(m) Committee,
as appropriate.

     3.   QUALIFYING EMPLOYEES AND PARTICIPANTS. Options may be granted
hereunder to individuals who are employees of the Corporation and/or its
subsidiaries as of the date of grant. Consultants and other independent
contractors, and officers and directors of the Corporation and/or its
subsidiaries who are not also employees of the Corporation and/or its
subsidiaries, shall be entitled to participate in the Plan, to the extent that
the granting to and exercise of options under the Plan by such individuals is
registered or exempt under federal and applicable state securities laws. The
Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall have the complete power and
discretion to select the participants to whom options are granted, and, subject
to the Plan, to determine for each such participant the terms and conditions of
any option granted, including but not limited to the number of shares covered by
the option, the vesting schedule and expiration date, the Option Price (as
defined below) and whether the option is an Incentive Stock Option or a
non-statutory option.

     4.   THE STOCK.

          (a)   The stock subject to the options and other provisions of the
Plan shall be shares of the Corporation's authorized and unissued Common Stock
(referred to herein as "Stock"), or reacquired Stock held in the treasury. The
total number of shares of Stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of
stock options under the Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate 211,640 shares of
Stock. Stock subject to options which terminate or expire prior to exercise
shall be available for granting of further options hereunder. Stock surrendered
upon exercise of an option in payment for the exercise thereof or in payment of
federal, state or local tax withholding liabilities shall also be included in
those shares of Stock available for granting of future options hereunder.

          Each option granted under the Plan shall be subject to the requirement
that if at any time the Board or the Committee shall reasonably determine that
the listing, registration, exemption or qualification of the shares of Stock
subject thereto upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal
securities or other law, or the consent or approval of any governmental
regulatory body is necessary or desirable in connection with the issue or
transfer of shares subject thereof, no such option may be exercised in whole or
in part unless such listing, registration, exemption, qualification, consent or
approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not
acceptable to the Board or the Committee. If reasonably required at any time by
the Board or the Committee, an option may not be exercised until the optionee
has delivered an investment letter to the Corporation containing the
representations that all shares of Stock being purchased are being acquired for
investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any
distribution of such shares, and such other representations as reasonably
required by the Corporation to assure issuance of the shares of Stock upon
exercise of the option will be in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and



<PAGE>

applicable state securities laws.

          (b)   Each stock certificate for shares issued to the optionee shall
have conspicuously written, printed, typed or stamped upon the face thereof, or
upon the reverse thereof with a conspicuous reference on the face thereof, the
following legend:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ISSUED WITHOUT REGISTRATION
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN THE
ABSENCE OF REGISTRATION THEREUNDER OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT.

     5.   TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS. All options granted pursuant to the
Plan shall be in such form as the Board or the Committee shall from time to time
determine, shall clearly indicate whether such option is an Incentive Stock
Option or a non-statutory stock option (but if no indication is made, the option
shall be treated as a non-statutory stock option), and shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions:

          (a)   OPTION PRICE. The exercise price per share for Stock under each
option granted under the Plan (the "Option Price") shall be determined and fixed
by the Board or the Committee, but in the case of Incentive Stock Options shall
not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value per share
of the Stock on the date of grant of such option. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the case of the grant of an Incentive Stock Option to a qualifying employee
who, at the time of the grant, owns more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Corporation or its subsidiary corporations
(a "10% Shareholder"), such price per share shall not be less than one hundred
ten percent (110%) of the fair market value per share of the Stock on the date
of grant of the option.

          (b)   EXPIRATION. Unless a particular option expressly provides
otherwise, the option shall expire and become void and unexercisable five (5)
years from the date of grant; provided, however, that in no event shall an
Incentive Stock Option be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years
from the date such option was granted; and provided further that in the case of
the grant of an Incentive Stock Option to an individual who, at the time of the
grant, is a 10% Shareholder, in no event shall such option be exercisable more
than five (5) years from the date of the grant.

          (c)   VESTING. The Board or the Committee may determine that any
option granted shall be fully vested immediately, or the Board or the Committee
may prescribe installments in which any option granted shall vest. An option
granted under the Plan shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms of the
Plan only to the extent vested on the date of exercise. The maturity of any
vesting schedule may be accelerated at the discretion of the Board or the
Committee. Unless a particular option expressly provides otherwise, the option
shall vest in four (4) equal annual installments on each of the first (1st)
through the fourth (4th) anniversary dates of the date of grant of the option.

          (d)   EARLY TERMINATION. Notwithstanding subsections 5(b) and (c)
above or the provisions of any particular option, each option granted hereunder
shall terminate, prior to its expiration and regardless of the extent to which
it is then vested, upon the earliest to occur of the following: (i) twelve (12)
months after the optionee's cessation of employment or other association with
the Corporation by reason of disability or death; (ii) three (3) months after
the termination or non-renewal by the Corporation of the optionee's employment
or other association with the Corporation; and (iii) three (3) months after the
cessation of the optionee's employment or other association with the
Corporation. "Cessation of employment" as used above shall mean the cessation of
all full or substantial part-time employment by the optionee with the
Corporation or any of its subsidiaries. The Board or the Committee, however, may
extend the termination date, at the time of the grant of the option, as set
forth above for particular options, in their discretion, provided that in the
case of an Incentive Stock Option, such extension does not disqualify such
option as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code. Any determination by the
Board or Committee as to the reason for an optionee's cessation of employment or
other association with the Corporation, if made in good faith, shall be final
and binding.

          (e)   LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE. An Incentive Stock Option shall be
exercisable in any calendar year only to the extent that the aggregate fair
market value (as of the date the option is granted) of the Stock with respect to
which all Incentive Stock Options held by an optionee that are exercisable for
the first time by such optionee during any calendar year (under all such plans
of the Corporation and any subsidiary of the Corporation) do not exceed
$100,000.

          (f)   LIMITATIONS ON DISPOSITION. To obtain the tax benefits
associated with Incentive Stock Options, an optionee that has exercised an
Incentive Stock Option should make no disposition of Stock acquired pursuant to
the exercise within two (2) years from the date of grant of such Incentive Stock
Option or within one (1) year from the


<PAGE>

date of the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option.

          (g)   HOLDING PERIOD. Upon such time as the Corporation has a class of
equity security registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, if required in
order for the grant of an option under the Plan to be exempt from Section 16(b)
of the Exchange Act, an optionee shall make no disposition of any option (other
than upon exercise) or the Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of any
option, for a period of six months after the date of grant of such option.

          (h)   EFFECT ON OTHER OPTIONS. The exercise of an option granted under
the Plan shall not affect the optionee's right or ability to exercise any other
option granted under the Plan or any other stock option plan of the Corporation
or its subsidiaries.

          (i)   AWARDS TO PERSONS COVERED BY CODE SECTION 162(m) DEDUCTION
LIMITS. Awards to persons covered by the deduction limitation of Code Section
162(m), as described in Section 162(m)(3) of the Code, shall be subject to the
following additional limitations:

               (i)   Adjustments. The Code Section 162(m) Committee shall have
no discretion to increase an award of options once granted except to the extent
permitted under Section 8 and the regulations interpreting Code Section 162(m).

               (ii)   Maximum Awards. Awards of options under the Plan shall be
limited to 211,640 shares awarded to any one individual in any calendar year and
shall be issued at fair market value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limits
stated above may be adjusted in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan.

     6.   PAYMENT FOR STOCK; EXERCISE.

          (a)   Options may be exercised by the optionee by delivering written
notice to the Corporation, specifying the number of shares as to which the
option is being exercised, and accompanied by payment in full as specified
below.

          (b)   Payment for any shares of Stock issuable upon exercise of any
option hereunder shall be made in full upon exercise, either in cash, cashier's
check, money order or other good funds as approved by the Board or the
Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise expressly provided in
a particular option, payment for Stock issuable upon exercise of an option
hereunder may also be made in whole or in part by delivering unrestricted,
unencumbered shares of Stock in satisfaction of all or part of the aggregate
Option Price or causing to be withheld a portion of the Stock as to which the
option is exercised in satisfaction of all or part of the aggregate Option
Price. In the event of payment in Stock, the aggregate Option Price shall be
considered paid to the extent of the fair market value of the Stock used in
payment as of the date of exercise of the option.

          (c)   The optionee shall be responsible for all income, excise or
other taxes arising from the granting or exercise of any option hereunder. As an
alternative to making a cash payment to the Corporation to satisfy any tax
withholding obligations on the exercise of any option, the optionee may, unless
otherwise expressly provided in the option, elect to (i) deliver shares of
already-owned Stock or (ii) have the Corporation retain that number of shares of
Stock that will satisfy all or a specified portion of the federal, state and
local tax liabilities of the optionee arising in the year of exercise. Such
election shall be irrevocable.

     7.   NON-ASSIGNABILITY. No option shall be transferable otherwise than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution and an option is exercisable during
the lifetime of the applicable optionee only by such optionee. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, non-statutory stock options, to the extent vested, may be
transferred to a tax-exempt charitable organization, a trust or entity
controlled by the optionee or for BONA FIDE estate planning purposes of the
optionee, provided that the assignee must enter into an agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Board or the Committee prohibiting any further
assignment except to the optionee or as otherwise permitted by this section.

     8.   ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGES IN STOCK.

          (a)   The number and type of shares of Stock available for the
granting of options under the Plan and the number and type of shares and
exercise price per share of Stock subject to outstanding options granted
pursuant to the Plan shall be adjusted by the Board or the Committee in an
equitable manner to reflect changes in the capitalization of the Corporation,
including but not limited to such changes as result from merger, consolidation,
reorganization,



<PAGE>

recapitalization, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock
split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares and
change in corporate structure. If any adjustment under this paragraph 8(a) would
create a fractional share of Stock or other capital stock of the Corporation or
a right to acquire a fractional share of Stock or such other capital stock, such
fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares available under
the Plan and the number covered under any options granted pursuant to the Plan
shall be the next lower number of shares, rounding all fractions downward.

          (b)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of: (i) a
dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation; (ii) a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; (iii) a merger or share
exchange in which the surviving or acquiring entity is not the Corporation; (iv)
a sale of a majority of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation; or (v)
the occurrence of an initial underwritten public offering of the Stock
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, then the Board, in its
sole and absolute discretion, may accelerate the vesting of all options
outstanding, or alternatively any particular options the Board determines in its
discretion, such that they are exercisable prior to such transaction.

          (c)   Any adjustment made by the Board or the Committee under this
paragraph 8 shall be conclusive and binding on all affected persons. No
Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be adjusted in a
manner that causes such Incentive Stock Option to fail to continue to qualify as
an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code.

     9.   AMENDMENT. The Board from time to time may amend this Plan, but except
as provided above with respect to dilutions or other adjustments or mergers or
share exchanges as provided in paragraph 8, or except with the approval of the
Corporation's shareholders, may not (a) increase the aggregate number of shares
available for option hereunder, (b) change the restrictions on prices at which
options may be granted, (c) extend the maximum expiration date that an option
may be given, or (d) change the eligibility requirements for participants
hereunder. Rights and obligations under any option granted before amendment of
the Plan shall not be altered or impaired by amendment of the Plan, except with
the consent of the person to whom the option was granted.

     10.   FAIR MARKET VALUE OF STOCK. Whenever pursuant to the terms of the
Plan the fair market value of the Stock is required to be determined as of a
particular date, such fair market value shall equal the fair market value of
such Stock as determined by the Board or the Committee, and the Board or the
Committee, in determining such fair market value, may, but shall not be required
to, conclusively rely on an appraisal of the Corporation's business made by a
disinterested business appraiser within twelve (12) months before the date of
exercise or other event giving rise to a determination of the fair market value
of the Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Stock becomes
publicly-traded, then fair market value shall equal, as applicable, the last
sale price of the Stock on the principal exchange on which the Stock is then
listed, or if the Stock is not then listed on any exchange, on the National
Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation National Market System
("NMS"), or, if price quotations for the Stock are not available to NMS, the
mean between the closing bid and asked price of the Stock on the National
Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ"). Fair
market value shall be determined in all cases without regard to any restriction
other than a restriction which, by its terms, will never lapse.

     11.   NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER. An optionee shall have no rights as a
shareholder with respect to any shares subject to his option until his valid
exercise of such option and the issuance of a stock certificate to him
representing the shares purchased upon exercise. No adjustment shall be made for
dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other
property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to
the date such stock certificate is issued.

     12.   INDEMNIFICATION OF COMMITTEE. In addition to such other rights of
indemnification as they may have as directors or as members of the Committee,
the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Corporation against the
reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and necessarily incurred
in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in
connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party
by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the
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 Corporation) or paid by them in satisfaction of a
judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters
as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such
Committee member is liable for gross negligence, intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of the criminal law or federal or state securities laws in the
performance of his duties; provided that within sixty (60) days after
institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, the Committee member shall
in writing offer the Corporation the opportunity, at its own expense, to handle



<PAGE>


and defend the same.

     13.   TERMINATION. This Plan shall terminate December 31, 2010 unless
sooner terminated by action of the Board. No option may be granted hereunder
after a termination of the Plan, but such termination shall not affect the
validity of any option then outstanding.

     14.   SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. The Plan shall be subject to approval by the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Stock present at a meeting of
shareholders at which a quorum has been established, which approval must occur
within the period ending twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted
by the Board; provided, however, that options may be granted hereunder prior to
shareholder approval when all other conditions precedent to the granting of
options under the Plan have been completed by the Corporation.

     15.   QUALIFICATION OF ISOS. As stated above, it is intended that Incentive
Stock Options under Section 422 of the Code may in the discretion of the Board
or the Committee be granted under this Plan. Accordingly, to the extent any
provision herein or in any option granted hereunder which is intended to be an
Incentive Stock Option conflicts with the requirements under the Code for such
option to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code, such conflict
shall be deemed of no force or effect, all provisions of the Code necessary for
such option to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code shall govern
and prevail and this Plan and such option shall be deemed automatically amended
to the extent needed to accomplish the foregoing.

     16.   MISCELLANEOUS.

          (a)   EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon any person the
right to employment or continued employment by the Corporation or to any
particular amount of compensation by the Corporation.

          (b)   PLAN BINDING ON SUCCESSORS. The Plan shall be binding upon the
successors, representatives and assigns of the Corporation.

          (c)   APPLICABLE LAW. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without reference to its
conflict of laws principles.

          (d)   OTHER OPTIONS. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to
limit the authority of the Board, at any time or from time to time, to issue one
or more options or rights to purchase shares of Stock not subject to the terms
and conditions of the Plan.

          (e)   NOTICES. All notices and other communications required or
permitted to be given under the Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed
duly given if delivered personally or mailed first class, postage prepaid, as
follows: (a) if to the Corporation at its principal address to the attention of
the Corporation's Treasurer; or (b) if to a qualifying employee or optionee, at
the last known address of such individual as shown on the employment records of
the Corporation.

          (f)   ENTIRE AGREEMENT; RELATION TO PREVIOUS PLANS. This Plan
constitutes the entire agreement concerning the subject matter hereof and
supercedes all prior negotiations, discussions, proposals and agreements
concerning such subject matter.
