PART I

                      HIGHLAND HOLDINGS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                                STOCK BONUS PLAN

     Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of this HIGHLAND HOLDINGS INTERNATIONAL,
INC. Stock Bonus Plan (the "Bonus) is to promote the growth and general
prosperity of the Company by permitting the Company to grant registered shares
in lieu of cash bonuses to help attract and retain superior personnel for
positions of substantial responsibility with the Company and its subsidiaries
and to provide individuals with an additional incentive to contribute to the
success of the Company. This Stock Bonus Plan is Part I of the 2000 Stock
Compensation Program. Unless any provision herein indicates to the contrary, the
Stock Bonus Plan shall be subject to the General Provisions of the Program and
terms used but not defined in this Stock Bonus Plan shall have the meanings, if
any, ascribed thereto in the General Provisions of the Program.

     Section 2. Terms and Conditions. The terms and conditions of shares granted
under the Bonus Plan may differ from one another as the Program Administrators
shall, in their discretion, determine as long as all shares granted under the
Bonus Plan satisfy the requirements of the Stock Bonus Plan.

     Each Bonus agreement shall provide to the recipient (the "Holder"), at
their election in lieu of cash, the transfer of a specified number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company that shall become non-forfeitable upon the execution
of the Stock Bonus Plan Agreement (Bonus Agreement). At the time that the bonus
is granted, the Program Administrators shall specify the service or performance
conditions and the period of duration over which the conditions apply.

     The Holder shall not have any rights with respect to such award, unless and
until such Holder has executed an agreement evidencing the terms and conditions
of the award (the "Stock Bonus Agreement"). Each individual who is awarded
shares, at their election in lieu of cash, shall be issued a stock certificate
in respect of such shares. Such certificate shall be registered in the name of
the Holder.


     The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented
     hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of
     the E-HIGHLAND HOLDINGS INTERNATIONAL, INC. Stock Bonus Plan entered into
     between the registered owner and HIGHLAND HOLDINGS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
     Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file in the offices of HIGHLAND
     HOLDINGS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

     The Program Administrators shall require that the stock certificates
evidencing such shares be held in the custody of the company until the
applicable conditions have been satisfied.

     Section 3. Transferability. Subject to the provisions of the Bonus Plan
Agreements, as may be set by the Program Administrators commencing on the grant
date, the Holder shall be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, or assign shares
awarded under the Stock Bonus Plan.

                                                                          Page 7

<PAGE>


     Section 4. Share Rights Upon Employment or Service. If a Holder terminates
employment or service with the company, any shares granted to him shall not be
forfeited by the Holder.


     Section 5. Stockholder Rights. The Holder shall have, with respect to the
shares granted, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the
right to vote the shares, and the right to receive any dividends thereon.
Certificates for shares of stock shall be delivered to the Holder promptly
after, and only after, the Bonus Plan Agreement shall be executed, and recipient
has made the election to receive shares in lieu of a cash bonus awarded.


     Section 6. Compliance with Securities Laws. Shares shall not be issued
under the Stock Bonus Plan unless the issuance and delivery of the shares
pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of foreign, state and
federal law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares may
then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the
Company with respect to such compliance. The Program Administrators may also
require a Holder to furnish evidence satisfactory to the Company, including a
written and signed representation letter and consent to be bound by any transfer
restrictions imposed by law.

     Section 7. Continued Employment or Service. This agreement is not
contingent upon continued employment or service.

                                                                          Page 8

                                     PART II

                      HIGHLAND HOLDINGS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                     DEFERRED COMPENSATION STOCK OPTION PLAN

          Section 1. Deferral Option Terms and Conditions. The purpose of this
HIGHLAND HOLDINGS INTERNATIONAL, INC. Deferred Compensation Stock Option Plan
(the "Deferral Option Plan") is to promote the growth and general prosperity of
the Company by permitting the Company to grant certain stock deferral rights
("Deferral Option"), exercisable by the recipients in lieu of cash payable to
them which has been deferred, to help attract and retain superior personnel for
positions of substantial responsibility with the Company and its subsidiaries
and to provide individuals with an additional incentive to contribute to the
success of the Company. The terms and conditions of Deferral Options granted
under the Deferral Option Plan may differ from one another as the Program
Administrators shall, in their discretion, determine in each agreement (the
"Deferral Option Agreement"). Unless any provision herein indicates to the
contrary, this Deferral Option Plan shall be subject to the General Provisions
of the Program, and terms used but not defined in this Deferral Option Plan
shall have the meanings, if any, ascribed thereto in the General Provisions of
the Program.

          Section 2. Duration of Deferral Options. Each Deferral Option and all
rights thereunder granted pursuant to the terms of the Deferral Option Plan
shall expire on the date determined by the Program Administrators as evidenced
by the Deferral Option Agreement, but in no event shall any Deferral Option
expire later than five (5) years from the date on which the Deferral Option is
granted. In addition, each Deferral Option shall be subject to early termination
as provided in the Deferral Option Plan.

          Section 3. Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Deferral
Option Agreement, the Program Administrators may grant the right to receive a
payment upon the exercise of a Deferral Option which reflects the number of
shares of Common Stock for which such Deferral Option was granted to any person
who is eligible to receive awards, and have elected to receive shares in lieu of
payment of deferred compensation.

          Section 4. Payment at Exercise. Upon the settlement of a Deferral
Option in accordance with the terms of the Deferral Option Agreement, the Plan
Participant shall (subject to the terms and conditions of the Deferral Option
Plan and Deferral Option Agreement) receive a payment equal to the Grant Price
(as defined below) for the number of shares of the Deferral Option being
exercised at that time. Such payment may be paid, at the election of the
recipient, in cash or in shares of the Company's Common Stock or by a
combination of the foregoing, at the time of exercise of the Deferral Option,
specified by the Program Administrators in the Deferral Option Agreement. If any
portion of the payment is paid in shares of the Company's Common Stock, such
shares shall be valued for this purpose at the Deferral Option Grant Price.
"Deferral Grant Price" shall mean the price allocated to the stock pursuant to
the Stock Deferral Option Agreement.

          Section 5. Special Terms and Conditions. Each Deferral Option
Agreement which evidences the grant of a Deferral Option shall incorporate such
terms and conditions as the Program Administrators in their sole and absolute
discretion deem are not inconsistent with the terms of the Deferral Option Plan.

                                                                         Page 12

<PAGE>


          Section 6. Compliance with Securities Laws. Deferral Options shall not
be granted and shares shall not be issued with respect to any Deferral Option
granted under the Deferral Option Plan unless the grant of that Deferral Option
or the exercise of that Deferral Option and the issuance and delivery of the
shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of foreign,
state and federal law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which
the shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of
counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. The Program
Administrators may also require a Plan Participant to furnish evidence
satisfactory to the Company, including a written and signed representation
letter and consent to be bound by any transfer restrictions imposed by law,
legend, condition, or otherwise, that any securities are being acquired only for
investment purposes and without any present intention to sell or distribute the
securities in violation of any state or federal law, rule, or regulation.
Further, each Plan Participant shall consent to the imposition of a legend on
securities and the imposition of stop-transfer instructions restricting their
transferability as required by law or by this Section 6.

          Section 7. Continued Employment or Service. Each Plan Participant, if
requested by the Program Administrators, must agree in writing as a condition of
receiving his or her Deferral Option or any shares as a result thereof, to
remain in the employment of, or service to, the Company or any of its
subsidiaries following the date of the granting of that Deferral Option or the
issuance of such shares for a period specified by the Program Administrators.
Nothing in this Deferral Option Plan or in any Deferral Option Agreement shall
confer upon any Plan Participant any right to continued employment by, or
service to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or limit in any way the
right of the Company or any subsidiary at any time to terminate or alter the
terms of that employment or service arrangement.

          Section 8. Deferral Option Rights Upon Termination of Employment or
Service. If a Plan Participant under this Deferral Option Plan ceases to be
employed by, or provide services to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries for
any reason other than death or disability, his or her Deferral Option shall
terminate thirty (30) days after the date of termination of employment (unless
sooner terminated in accordance with its terms); provided, however, that in the
event employment is terminated for cause as defined by applicable law, his or
her option shall terminate immediately, provided, further, however, that the
Program Administrators may, in their sole and absolute discretion, allow the
Deferral Option to be exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date of
termination of employment or service, at any time within ninety (90) days after
the date of termination of employment or service, unless either the Deferral
Option Agreement or this Deferral Option Plan otherwise provides for earlier
termination.

          Section 9. Rights Upon Disability. If a Plan Participant becomes
disabled within the meaning of Code Section 422(e)(3) while employed by or
providing service to the Company or any subsidiary corporation, his or her
Deferral Option shall terminate six months after the date of termination of
employment or service due to disability (unless sooner terminated in accordance

                                                                         Page 13

<PAGE>


with its terms); provided, however, that the Program Administrators may, in
their sole and absolute discretion, allow the Deferral Option to be exercised
(to the extent exercisable on the date of termination of employment or service)
at any time within one year after the date of termination of employment due to
disability, unless either the Deferral Option Agreement or the Deferral Option
Plan otherwise provides for earlier termination.


          Section 10. Rights Upon Death. Except as otherwise limited by the
Program Administrators at the time of the grant of a Deferral Option, if a Plan
Participant under the Deferral Option Plan dies while employed by, or providing
services to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, his or her Deferral Option
shall expire six months after the date of death unless by its terms it expires
sooner; provided, however, that the Program Administrators may, in their sole
and absolute discretion, allow the Deferral Option to be exercised (to the
extent exercisable on the date of death) at any time within one year after the
date of death, under the Deferral Option Agreement or the Deferral Option Plan
otherwise provides for earlier termination. During this six-month or shorter
period, the Deferral Option may be exercised, to the extent that it remains
unexercised on the date of death by the person or persons to whom a Plan
Participant's rights under the Deferral Option shall pass by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution, but only to the extent that the plan Participant is
entitled to exercise the Deferral at the time and date of death.

                                                                         Page 14

                      HIGHLAND HOLDINGS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                DEFERRED COMPENSATION STOCK OPTION PLAN AGREEMENT

                                (GRANT OF OPTION)


Date of Grant: ____________________, ____


          THIS GRANT, dated as of the date of grant first stated above (the
"Date of Grant") , is delivered by HIGHLAND HOLDINGS INTERNATIONAL, INC. , a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), to ____________________ (the "Optionee"),
who is an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries (the Optionee's
employer is sometimes referred to herein as the "Employer").

          WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") on
__________ adopted, with subsequent stockholder approval, the HIGHLAND HOLDINGS
INTERNATIONAL, INC. Deferred Stock Option Plan (the "Plan");

          WHEREAS, the Plan provides for the granting of deferred compensation
stock options by the Board or Program Administrators to employees of the Company
or any subsidiary of the Company who have deferred compensation payable to them
to purchase, or to exercise certain rights with respect to, shares of the Common
Stock of the Company, $.001 par value (the "Stock"), in accordance with the
terms and provisions thereof; and

          WHEREAS, the Program Administrators consider the Optionee to be a
person who is eligible for a grant of deferred compensation stock options under
the Plan, and have determined that it would be in the best interest of the
Company to grant the deferred compensation stock options documented herein.

          NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound
hereby, agree as follows:

1.   Grant of Option.

     Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company,
with the approval and at the direction of the Program Administrators, hereby
grants to the Optionee, at their election, as of the Date of Grant, an option to
purchase a number of shares of Stock at a price of $.10 per share, (not to
exceed 1/3 of total quarterly income earned) on the date of Grant. Such option
is hereinafter referred to as the "Option" and the shares of stock purchasable
upon exercise of the Option are hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Option
Shares."

                                                                         Page 15

<PAGE>


2.   Installment Exercise.

     Subject to such further limitations as are provided herein, the Option
shall become exercisable in Quarterly installments, on the first day following
the close of the prior calendar quarter, the Optionee having the right hereunder
to purchase from the Company a number of Option Shares upon exercise of the
Option, in proportion to the deferred compensation subject to the employee's
exercise of option.

3.   Termination of Option.

     (a) Subject to the other provisions of this Grant, the Option and all
rights hereunder with respect thereto, to the extent such rights shall not have
been exercised, shall terminate and become null and void after the expiration of
five years from the Date of Grant (the "Option Term").

     (b) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, upon
the occurrence of the Optionee ceasing for any reason to be employed by the
Employer (such occurrence being a "termination of the Optionee's employment"),
the Option, to the extent not previously exercised, shall terminate and become
null and void within thirty (30) days after the date of such termination of the
Optionee's employment, except (1) in the event employment is terminated for
cause as defined by applicable law, in which case Optionee's Option shall
terminate and become null and void immediately or (2) in a case where the
Program Administrators may otherwise determine in their sole and absolute
discretion for up to ninety (90) days following the termination of employment.
Upon a termination of the Optionee's employment by reason of disability or
death, the Option may be exercised, but only to the extent that the Option was
outstanding and exercisable on such date of disability or death, up to a
six-month period following the date of such termination of the Optionee's
employment, unless extended for a period of up to one year, at the sole and
absolute discretion of the Program Administrators.

     (c) In the event of the death of the Optionee, the Option may be exercised
by the Optionee's legal representative, but only to the extent that the option
would otherwise have been exercisable by the Optionee.

     (d) A transfer of the Optionee's employment between the Company and any
subsidiary of the Company, or between any subsidiaries of the Company, shall not
be deemed to be a termination of the Optionee's employment.

4.   Exercise of Option.

     (a) The Optionee may exercise the option with respect to all or any part of
the number of Option Shares then exercisable hereunder by giving the Secretary
of the Company written notice of intent to exercise. The notice of exercise
shall specify the number of Option Shares as to which the Option is to be
exercised against deferred compensation, and the date of exercise thereof.


     (b) On the exercise date specified in the Optionee's notice or as soon
thereafter as is practicable, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the
Optionee, a certificate or certificates for the Option Shares then being

                                                                         Page 16

<PAGE>


purchased. The obligation of the Company to deliver Stock shall, however, be
subject to the condition that if at any time the Program Administrators shall
determine in their discretion that the listing, registration or qualification of
the Option or the Option Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state
or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body,
is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the Option
or the issuance or purchase of Stock thereunder, the Option may not be exercised
in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or
approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not
acceptable to the Program Administrators.

5.   Adjustment of and Changes in Stock of the Company.

     In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, change of shares, stock
split, spin-off, stock dividend, reclassification, subdivision or combination of
shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, or any other change in the
corporate structure or shares of capital stock of the Company, the Program
Administrators shall make such adjustment as may be required under the
applicable reorganization agreement in the number and kind of shares of Stock
subject to the Option or in the option price; provided, however, that no such
adjustment shall give the Optionee any additional benefits under the Option. If
there is no provision for the treatment of the Option under an applicable
reorganization agreement, the Option may terminate on a date determined by the
Program Administrators following at least 30 days written notice to the
Optionee.

6.   No Rights of Stockholders.

     Neither the Optionee nor any personal representative shall be, or shall
have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with
respect to any shares of Stock purchasable or issuable upon the exercise of the
Option, in whole or in part, prior to the date of exercise of the Option.

7.   Non-Transferability of Option.

     During the Optionee's lifetime, the Option hereunder shall be exercisable
only by the Optionee or any guardian or legal representative of the Optionee,
and the Option shall not be transferable except, in case of the death of the
Optionee, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, nor shall the Option
be subject to attachment, execution or other similar process. In the event of
(a) any attempt by the Optionee to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate or
otherwise dispose of the option, except as provided for herein, or (b) the levy
of any attachment, execution or similar process upon the rights or interest
hereby conferred, the Company may terminate the Option by notice to the Optionee
and it shall thereupon become null and void.

8.   Restriction on Exercise.

     The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of the Option Shares upon
such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or State
securities or other law or valid regulation. As a condition to the exercise of
the Option, the Company may require the Optionee exercising the Option to make

                                                                         Page 17

<PAGE>


any representation or warranty to the Company as may be required by any
applicable law or regulation and, specifically, may require the Optionee to
provide evidence satisfactory to the Company that the Option Shares are being
acquired only for investment purposes and without any present intention to sell
or distribute the shares in violation of any federal or State securities or
other law or valid regulation.

7.   Employment Not Affected.

     The granting of the Option or its exercise shall not be construed as
granting to the Optionee any right with respect to continuance of employment of
the Employer. Except as may otherwise be limited by a written agreement between
the Employer and the Optionee, the right of the Employer to terminate at will
the Optionee's employment with it at any time (whether by dismissal, discharge,
retirement or otherwise) is specifically reserved by the Company, as the
Employer or on behalf of the Employer (whichever the case may be), and
acknowledged by the Optionee.

8.   Amendment of Option.

     The Option may be amended by the Program Administrators at any time (i) if
the Program Administrators determine, in their sole and absolute discretion,
that amendment is necessary or advisable in the light of any addition to or
change in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or in the regulations issued

                      HIGHLAND HOLDINGS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                           Executive Stock Option Plan

     Section 1. Terms and Conditions. The purpose of the HIGHLAND HOLDINGS
INTERNATIONAL, INC. Executive Stock Option Plan (the "Executive Plan") is to
promote the growth and general prosperity of the Company by permitting the
Company to grant restricted shares to help attract and retain superior personnel
for positions of substantial responsibility with the Company and its
subsidiaries to provide individuals with an additional incentive to the success
of the Company. The terms and conditions of Performance Shares, Stock Payments
or Bonus Rights granted under the Stock Rights Plan may differ from one another
as the Program Administrators shall, in their discretion, determine in each
stock rights agreement (the "Stock Rights Agreement"). Unless any provision
herein indicates to the contrary, this Stock Rights Plan shall be subject to the
General Provisions of the Program, and terms used but not defined in this Stock
Rights Plan shall have the meanings, if any, ascribed thereto in the General
Provisions of the Program.

     Section 2. Duration. Each Performance Share or Dividend Equivalent Right
and all rights thereunder granted pursuant to the terms of the Stock Rights Plan
shall expire on the date determined by the Program Administrators as evidenced
by the Stock Rights Agreement, but in no event shall any Performance Shares or
Dividend Equivalent Rights expire later than ten (10) years from the date on
which the Performance Shares or Dividend Equivalent Rights are granted. In
addition, each Performance Share, Stock Payment or Dividend Equivalent Right
shall be subject to early termination as provided in the Stock Rights Plan.

     Section 3. Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Stock Rights
Agreement, the Program Administrators may grant Performance Shares, Stock
Payments or Dividend Equivalent Rights as provided under the Stock Rights Plan.
Each grant of Performance Shares, Dividend Equivalent Rights or Stock Payments
shall be evidenced by a Stock Rights Agreement, which shall state the terms and
conditions of each as the Program Administrators, in their sole and absolute
discretion, deem are not inconsistent with the terms of the Stock Rights Plan.

     Section 4. Performance Shares. Performance Shares shall become payable to a
Plan Participant based upon the achievement of specified Performance Objectives
and upon such other terms and conditions as the Program Administrators may
determine and specify in the Stock Rights Agreement evidencing such Performance
Shares. Each grant shall satisfy the conditions for performance-based awards
hereunder and under the General Provisions of the Program. A grant may provide
for the forfeiture of Performance Shares in the event of termination of
employment or other events, subject to exceptions for death, disability,
retirement or other events, all as the Program Administrators may determine and
specify in the Stock Rights Agreement for such grant. Payment may be made for
the Performance Shares at such time and in such form as the Program
Administrators shall determine and specify in the Stock Rights Agreement and
payment for any Performance Shares may be made in full in cash or by certified
cashier's check payable to the order of the Company or, if permitted by the
Program Administrators, by shares of the Company's Common Stock or by the

                                                                         Page 20

<PAGE>


surrender of all or part of an award, or in other property, rights or credits
deemed acceptable by the Program Administrators or, if permitted by the Program
Administrators, by a combination of the foregoing. If any portion of the
purchase price is paid in shares of the Company's Common Stock, those shares
shall be tendered at their then Fair Market Value. Payment in shares of Common
Stock includes the automatic application of shares of Common Stock received upon
the exercise or settlement of Performance Shares or other option or award to
satisfy the exercise or settlement price.

     Section 5. Stock Payments. The Program Administrators may grant Stock
Payments to a person eligible to receive the same as a bonus or additional
compensation or in lieu of the obligation of the Company or a subsidiary to pay
cash compensation under other compensatory arrangements, only with the election
of the eligible person, provided that the Plan Participant will be required to
pay an amount equal to the aggregate par value of any newly issued Stock
Payments. A Plan Participant shall have all the voting, dividend, liquidation
and other rights with respect to shares of Common Stock issued to the Plan
Participant as a Stock Payment upon the Plan Participant becoming holder of
record of such shares of Common Stock; provided, however, the Program
Administrators may impose such restrictions on the assignment or transfer of
such shares of Common Stock as they deem appropriate and as are evidenced in the
Stock Rights Agreement for such Stock Payment.

     Section 6. Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Program Administrators may grant
Dividend Equivalent Rights in tandem with the grant of Incentive Options or
Nonqualified Options, SARs, Restricted Shares or Performance Shares that
otherwise do not provide for the payment of dividends on the shares of Common
Stock subject to such awards for the period of time to which such Dividend
Equivalent Rights apply, or may grant Dividend Equivalent Rights that are
independent of any other such award. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted in
tandem with another award may be evidenced by the agreement for such other
award; otherwise, a Dividend Equivalent Right shall be evidenced by a separate
Stock Rights Agreement. Payment may be made by the Company in cash or by shares
of the Company's Common Stock or by a combination of the foregoing, may be
immediate or deferred and may be subject to such employment, performance
objectives or other conditions as the Program Administrators may determine and
specify in the Stock Rights Agreement for such Dividend Equivalent Rights. The
total payment attributable to a share of Common Stock subject to a Dividend
Equivalent Right shall not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the equivalent
dividends payable with respect to an outstanding share of Common Stock during
the term of such Dividend Equivalent Right, taking into account any assumed
investment (including assumed reinvestment in shares of Common Stock) or
interest earnings on the equivalent dividends as determined under the Stock
Rights Agreement in the case of a deferred payment, provided that such
percentage may increase to a maximum of two hundred percent (200%) if a Dividend
Equivalent Right is subject to a Performance Objective.

     Section 7. Compliance with Securities Laws. Securities shall not be issued
with respect to any award under the Stock Rights Plan, unless the issuance and
delivery of the securities pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable
provisions of foreign, state and federal law, including, without limitation, the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act, and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange

                                                                         Page 21

upon which the securities may then be listed, and shall be further subject to
the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. The
Program Administrators may also require a Plan Participant to furnish evidence
satisfactory to the Company, including a written and signed representation
letter and consent to be bound by any transfer restrictions imposed by law,
legend, condition, or otherwise, that the securities are being acquired only for
investment purposes and without any present intention to sell or distribute the
securities in violation of any state or federal law, rule, or regulation.
Further, each Plan Participant shall consent to the imposition of a legend on
the securities subject to his or her award and the imposition of stop-transfer
instructions restricting their transferability as required by law or by this
Section 7.

     Section 8. Continued Employment or Service. Each Plan Participant, if
requested by the Program Administrators, must agree in writing as a condition of
receiving his or her award, to remain in the employment of, or service to, the
Company or any of its subsidiaries following the date of the granting of that
award for a period specified by the Program Administrators. Nothing in this
Stock Rights Plan in any award granted hereunder shall confer upon any Plan
Participant any right to continued employment by, or service to, the Company or
any of its subsidiaries, or limit in any way the right of the Company or any
subsidiary at any time to terminate or alter the terms of that employment or
service arrangement.

     Section 9. Rights Upon Termination of Employment or Service. If a Plan
Participant under this Stock Rights Plan ceases to be employed by, or provide
service to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries for any reason his or her
award shall immediately terminate.

                                                                         Page 22

                      EXECUTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN AGREEMENT

Administrators hereby award and transfer to Holder a stock award on _______,2000
("Grant Date"), covering shares of Common Stock ("Shares") subject to the terms,
conditions, and restrictions set forth in this Agreement. This transfer of
Shares shall constitute a transfer of such property in connection with Holder's

a "transfer" for purposes of Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code).

2.   Stock Certificates.

          A stock certificate evidencing the Shares shall be issued in the name
of Holder as of the Grant Date. Holder shall thereupon be the shareholder of all

vote the Shares and receive dividends and/or other distributions declared on
such Shares.

3.   Administration.

Plan and this Agreement. All such Program Administrators determinations shall be
final, conclusive, and binding upon the Company, Holder, and any and all
interested parties.

4.   Right to Continued Employment or Service.

          Nothing in the Stock Option Plan or this Agreement shall confer on
Holder any right to continue in the employ of or service to the Company or,
except as may otherwise be limited by a written agreement between the Company
and Holder, in any way affect the Company's right to terminate Holder's
employment or service, at will, at any time without prior notice at any time for
any or no reason (whether by dismissal, discharge, retirement or otherwise).

5.   Amendment.

          This Agreement shall be subject to the terms of the Stock Option Plan
as amended, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. However,
the stock bonus award that is the subject of this Agreement may not in any way
be restricted or limited by any Stock Bonus Plan amendment or termination
approved after the date of the award without Holder's written consent.

6.   Force and Effect.

          The various provisions of this Agreement are severable in their
entirety. Any determination of invalidity or unenforceability of any one
provision shall have no effect on the continuing force and effect of the
remaining provisions.

governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

8.   Successors.

                      HIGHLAND HOLDINGS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                             STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN



     Section 1 Granting of Restricted Common Stock. The Board may, in its sole
discretion and subject to the provisions of the Plan, grant to eligible
officers, employees or directors at such times as it deems appropriate following
adoption of the Plan by the Board, shares of Restricted Common Stock.

     Section 2 Price of Restricted Common Stock. The price at which Restricted
Common Stock may be purchased by a Participant under the Plan shall be
determined by the Board and shall be 85% of the fair market value, per share, of
the Common Stock at the time the Restricted Common Stock was granted.

     Section 3 Persons Subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Participants
who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act are hereby advised that
reliance on Rule 16b3 may require that any equity security of HIGHLAND HOLDINGS
INTERNATIONAL, INC. acquired upon exercise of Restricted Common Stock by such
person be held at least until the date six months after the date of grant of the
Restricted Common Stock.


     Section 4 Other Provisions.
               ----------------

     (A)  No Right to Employment. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor its
          operation, nor any document describing or referring to the Plan, or
          any part thereof, shall confer upon any Participant under the Plan any
          right to continue in the employ of HIGHLAND HOLDINGS INTERNATIONAL,
          INC. or a subsidiary or shall in any way affect the right and power of
          HIGHLAND HOLDINGS INTERNATIONAL, INC. or a subsidiary to terminate the
          employment of any Participant under the Plan at any time with or
          without assigning a reason therefor.

     (B)  Tax Withholding. The Board shall have the right to deduct from any
          settlement of an Award, including without limitation the delivery or
          vesting of Common Stock, made under the Plan any Federal, state, or
          local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to
          such payments or to take any such other action as may be necessary in
          the opinion of the Board to satisfy all obligations for payment of
          such taxes. If Common Stock that would otherwise be delivered in
          settlement of the Award are used to satisfy tax withholding, such
          Common Stock shall be valued based on their Fair Market Value
          determined in accordance with section 6(B) when the tax withholding is
          required to be made. Participants who are subject to Section 16 of the
          Exchange Act are hereby advised that pursuant to Rule 16b3 thereunder
          the use of shares to satisfy tax withholding will be treated as the
          exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right.

                                                                         Page 26

<PAGE>


     (C)  Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time suspend, amend,
          or terminate the Plan, and, without limiting the foregoing, the Board
          shall have the express authority to amend the Plan from time to time,
          with or without approval by the shareholders, in the manner and to the
          extent that the Board believes is necessary or appropriate in order to
          cause the Plan to conform to provisions of Rule 16b3 under the
          Exchange ct and any other rules under Section 16 of the Exchange Act,
          as any of such rules may be amended, supplemented, or superseded from
          time to time. Except for adjustments made in accordance with Section
          9(A), the Board may not, without the consent of the grantee of the
          Award, alter or impair any Award previously granted under the Plan. No
          Award may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after
          termination thereof.

     (D)  Effective Date of the Plan. The Plan was adopted by the Board on
          November 17, 2000.

     (E)  Duration of the Plan. Unless previously terminated by the Board, the
          Plan shall terminate at the close of business on November 16, 2005 and
          no Award shall be granted under it thereafter, but such termination
          shall not affect any Award theretofore granted.

     (F)  Use of Certain Terms. The terms "parent" and "subsidiary" shall have
          the meanings ascribed to them in Section 424 of the Code and unless
          the context otherwise requires, the other terms defined in Section
          421, 422, and 424, inclusive, of the Code and regulations and revenue
          rulings applicable thereto, shall have the meanings attributed to them
