     4.     ADMINISTRATION  OF  THE  PLAN.
            -----------------------------

          (a)     The  Committee.  The  Plan  is  administered  by  the  Board
                  --------------
directly,  acting  as  a  Committee  of  the whole, or if the Board elects, by a
separate  Committee appointed by the Board for that purpose and consisting of at
least  two  Board  members,  all  of  whom  must  be Nonemployee Directors.  All
references in the Plan to the "Committee" are to such separate Committee, if any
is  established,  or if none is then in existence, then to the Board as a whole.
Once  appointed,  any  such  Committee  must  continue  to serve until otherwise
directed by the Board.  From time to time the Board may increase the size of the
Committee  and  appoint  additional  members  thereto,  remove  members (with or
without cause), appoint new members in substitution therefor, and fill vacancies
(however  caused).  At  all times, the Board has the power to remove all members
of  the  Committee and thereafter to directly administer the Plan as a Committee
of  the  whole.

          (b)     Meetings;  Reports.  The  Committee  shall  select  one of its
                  ------------------
members as chair-man, and hold meetings at such times and places as the chairman
or  a  majority  of  the Committee  may determine.  All actions of the Committee
must  be either by (i) a majority vote of the members of the full Committee at a
meeting of the Committee, or (ii) by unanimous written consent of all members of
the  full  Committee  without  a meeting.  At least annually, the Committee must
present  a  written  report  to the Board indicating the persons to whom Options
have  been  granted since the date of the last such report, and in each case the
date  or dates of Options granted, the number of shares optioned, and the Option
price  per  share.

<PAGE>
          (c)     Powers  of  the  Committee.  Subject  to  all  provisions  and
                  --------------------------
     limitations of the Plan, the Committee has the authority and discretion to:

               (1)     Determine  the persons to whom Options are to be granted,
     the  times  of  grant,  and  the number of shares to be represented by each
     Option;

               (2)     Interpret  the  Plan;

               (3)     Authorize  any  person  or persons to execute and deliver
Option  agreements  or  to  take any other actions deemed by the Committee to be
necessary  or  appropriate  to effectuate the grant of Options by the Committee;
and

               (4)     Make  all other determinations and take all other actions
which  the  Committee  deems  necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan in
accordance  with  its  terms  and  conditions.

          (d)     Final  Authority;  Limitation  of  Liability.  The Committee's
                  --------------------------------------------
decisions,  determinations  and  interpretations  are  final and  binding on all
persons,  including all Optionees and any other holders or persons interested in
any  Options, unless otherwise expressly determined by a vote of the majority of
the entire Board.  No member of the Committee or of the Board may be held liable
for  any  action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or
any  Option.

     5.     ELIGIBILITY;  LIMITATION  OF  RIGHTS. The grant of Options under the
            ------------------------------------
Plan  is entirely discretionary with the Committee, and the adoption of the Plan
does  not  confer  upon  any  person  any right to receive any Option or Options
unless  and until granted by the Committee, in its sole discretion.  Neither the
adoption of the Plan nor the grant of any Options to any person or Optionee will
confer  any  right  to continued employment, nor shall the same interfere in any
way  with  that  person's  right  or that of the Employer (or any Subsidiary) to
terminate  the  person's  employment  at  any  time.

     6.     OPTION  TERMS; CONDITIONS.  All Option grants under the Plan must be
            -------------------------
(i)  approved in advance by the Committee; and (ii) documented in written Option
agreements in such form as the Committee approves from time to time.  All Option
agreements  must  comply  with,  and  are  subject  to  the  following terms and
conditions:

          (a)     Number  of  Shares.  Each  Option  agreement  must  state  the
                  ------------------
number  of  shares subject to Option.  Any number of Options may be granted to a
single  eligible  person  at  any  time  and  from  time  to  time.

          (b)     Option Price.  The Option price for the shares of Common Stock
                  ------------
to  be  is-sued under the Option will be determined by the Committee at the time
of  grant.


                       Stock Option Plan -- Page 3 of 7
<PAGE>
          (c)     Consideration;  Manner  of  Exercise.  The  Option  price  is
                  ------------------------------------
payable  either  (i)  in  U.S.  dollars  upon exercise of the Option, or (ii) if
approved  by  the  Board,  in  other consideration  including without limitation
Common Stock of the Employer, services, or other property.  An  Option is deemed
to  be  exercised when written notice of exercise has been given to the Employer
in  accordance  with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to  exercise
the Option, together with full payment for the shares of Common Stock subject to
said  notice.

          (d)     Term  of Option.  Under no circumstances may an Option granted
                  ---------------
under  the  Plan  be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the
date  such  Option is granted. The term of each Option must be determined by the
Committee  in  its  discretion.

          (e)     Date  of  Grant; Holding Period.  The grant date of an Option,
                  -------------------------------
for  all  purposes,  is the date the Committee  makes the determination granting
the  Option,  as  set forth in the Option agreement.      Shares of Common Stock
obtained upon the exercise of any Option may not be sold by any Optionee that is
subject  to  Section  16 of the 1934 Act until six (6) months have elapsed since
the  date  of  the  Option  grant.

          (f)     Death  of  Optionee.  In the event of the death of an Optionee
                  -------------------
who  at  the  time  of  his death was an Employee and who had been in Continuous
Status  as  an  Employee  since  the  date  of  grant  of the Option, the Option
terminates  on  the earlier of (i) six (6) months after the date of death of the
Optionee,  or  (ii)  the  expiration  date  otherwise  provided  in  the  Option
agreement.  Under  these  circumstances,  the  Option will be exercisable at any
time  prior  to  such termination by the Optionee's estate, or by such person or
persons  who  have  acquired  the  right to exercise the Option by bequest or by
in-heritance  or  by  reason  of  the  death  of  the  Optionee.

          (g)     Disability  of  Optionee.  If  an  Optionee's  status  as  an
                  ------------------------
Employee  is  terminated  at  any  time  during the Option period by reason of a
disability  (within  the  meaning  of  Sec-tion 22(e)(3) of the Code) and if the
Optionee  had been in Continuous Status as an Employ-ee at all times between the
date  of  grant  of the Option and the termination of his status as an Employee,
the  Option  terminates  on  the  earlier  of (i) one (1) year after the date of
termination of his status as an Employee, or (ii) the expiration date otherwise
pro-vided  in  the  Option  agreement.

          (h)     Termination of Status as an Employee.  If an Optionee's status
                  ------------------------------------
as  an  Employee  is terminated at any time after the grant of an Option by the
Optionee  for any reason other than death or disability, as provided in Sections
6(f) and 6(g), and not by the Company, as provided below, the Option terminates
on  the  earlier  of (i) thirty (30) days following termination of status as an
Employee,  or  (ii)  the  expiration  date  otherwise  provided  in  the  Option
agreement.  If  an  Optionee's  status  as an Employee is terminated at any time
after  the  grant  of  an  Option by the Company for any reason, then the Option
terminates  on  the  date  of  termination  of  status  as  an  Employee.

          (i)     Nontransferability  of  Options.  No  Option granted under the
                  -------------------------------
Plan  may  be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of
in  any  manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and
may  be  exercised,  during  the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.


                       Stock Option Plan -- Page 4 of 7
<PAGE>
          (j)     Adjustments  Upon  Changes  in Capitalization.  Subject to any
                  ---------------------------------------------
required  action  by  the shareholders of the Employer, the number of shares of
Common  Stock covered by each outstanding Option, the number of shares of Common
Stock  available  for  grant  of  additional Options, and the price per share of
Common  Stock  specified  in  each  outstanding  Option, must be proportionately
adjusted  for any increase or decrease in the number of is-sued shares of Common
Stock  resulting  from any stock split or other subdivision or consolidation of
shares,  the payment of any stock dividend (but only on the Common Stock) or any
other increase or decrease in the number of such shares of Common Stock effected
without  receipt  of  consideration  by  the  Employer;  provided, however, that
conversion  of  any convertible securities of the Employer will not be deemed to
have  been  "effected  with-out  receipt  of  consideration."

          Any  adjustments  as  a  result  of  a  change  in  the  Employer's
capitalization  will  be  made  by  the  Committee,  whose determination in that
respect  is  final,  binding  and  conclusive.  Except  as  otherwise expressly
provided  in  this  Section 6(j), no Optionee shall have any rights by reason of
any  stock  split  or the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or
decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock.  Except as otherwise expressly
provided  in  this Section 6(j), any issue by the Employer of shares of stock of
any  class,  or  securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall
not affect the number of shares or price of Common Stock subject to any Options,
and  no adjustments in Options shall be made by reason thereof.  The grant of an
Option  under  the  Plan  does  not  in any way affect the right or power of the
Employer  to  make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of
its  capital  or  business  structure.

          (k)     Conditions  Upon  Issuance  of Shares.  Shares of Common Stock
                  -------------------------------------
may  not  be  issued with respect to an Option granted under the Plan unless the
exercise  of  the  Option  and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant
thereto  complies  with  all applicable provisions of law, including, applicable
federal  and  state  securities  laws.

          As  a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Employer may require
the  person  exercising  such  Option  to  represent  and warrant at the time of
exercise  that  the  shares  of  Common  Stock  are  being  purchased  only for
investment  and  without any present intention to sell or distribute such Common
Stock  if,  in the opinion of counsel for the Employer, such a representation is
required  by  any  relevant  provisions  of  law.

          All  Shares  of  Common  Stock  issued  pursuant  to  the Plan will be
"Restricted  Securities" as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act  of  1933,  as  amended.

          (l)     Change  of Control, Merger, Sale of Assets, Etc.  In the event
                  -----------------------------------------------
of the sale or other transfer of the outstanding shares of stock of the Employer
in  one  transaction  or  a  series  of  related  transactions  or  a  merger or


                       Stock Option Plan -- Page 5 of 7
<PAGE>
reorganization  of  the  Employer  with  or  into  any  other corporation, where
immediately  following  the  transaction, those persons who were shareholders of
the  Employer  immediately  before  the transaction control less than 50% of the
voting  power  of the surviving organization (a "change of control event") or in
the  event  of  a  proposed  sale  of  substantially  all  of the assets of the
Employer,  or  in  the  event  of  a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the
Employer (collectively, "sale transaction") all outstanding Options that are not
then fully exercisable become exercisable immediately before the date of closing
of  any  change of control event or sale transaction or such earlier date as the
Committee  may  fix.

          (m)     Substitute  Stock Options.  In connection with the acquisition
                  -------------------------
or  proposed  acquisition  by the Employer or any Subsidiary, whether by merger,
acquisition  of  stock  or  assets,  or  other  reorganization transaction, of a
business  any  employees  of  which  have been granted options, the Committee is
authorized  to  issue,  in substitution of any such unexercised stock options, a
new  Option  under  this Plan which confers upon the Optionee substantially the
same  benefits  as  the  old  option

          (n)     Tax  Compliance.  The  Employer,  in  its sole discretion, may
                  ---------------
take  any  actions that it reasonably believes to be required in order to comply
with  any  local,  state,  or  federal  tax  laws  relating  to the reporting or
withholding  of taxes attributable to the grant or exercise of any Option or the
disposition  of  any  shares  of Common Stock issued upon exercise of an Option,
including,  but  not limited to: (i) withholding from any Optionee exercising an
Option  a  number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to
the  amount  required  to be withheld by Employer under applicable tax laws, and
(ii)  withholding  from any form of compensation or other amount due an Optionee
or holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of an Option any amount
required  to  be withheld by Employer under applicable tax laws.  Withholding or
reporting  is  considered  required for purposes of this Section 6(n) if any tax
deduction  or other favorable tax treatment available to Employer is conditioned
upon  such  reporting  or  withholding.

          (o)     Other  Provisions.  Option  agreements executed under the Plan
                  -----------------
may  contain  such  other  provisions as the Committee deems advisable, provided
that  they  are  not in-consistent with any of the other terms and conditions of
the  Plan  or  applicable  laws.

     7.     TERM  OF THE PLAN.  The Plan is effective on the date of adoption of
            -----------------
the  Plan  by the Board.  Unless sooner terminated as provided in Section 8, the
Plan  will  terminate  on  the  tenth  (10th) anniversary of its effective date.
Options  may  be  granted  at any time after the effective date and prior to the
date  of  termination  of  the  Plan.

     8.     AMENDMENT;  EARLY TERMINATION.  The Board may terminate or amend the
            -----------------------------
Plan  at  any  time  and  in  such  respects  as it deems advisable, although no
amendment  or  termination  would  affect  any previously-granted Options, which
would  remain  in  full  force  and  effect  notwithstanding  any  amendment  or
termination of the Plan  Shareholder approval of any amendments to the Plan must
be  obtained  whenever  required  by  applicable  law(s).

     9.     SHAREHOLDER  APPROVAL.  Approval  of  the  Plan  is  subject  to
            ---------------------
affirmative  vote  of  the  holders  of  a majority of the outstanding shares of
Common  Stock  of the Employer at a duly convened meeting of the shareholders of
the  Employer,  which  approval  must  occur within twelve (12) months before or
after  the  date  of  adoption  of  the  Plan  by  the  Board.
