with the express provisions of the Plan, to administer the Plan and to exercise
all the powers and authorities either specifically granted to it under the Plan
or necessary or advisable in the administration of the Plan, including, without
limitation, the authority to grant Awards; to determine the persons to whom and
the time or times at which Awards shall be granted; to determine the terms,
conditions, restrictions and performance criteria, including Performance Goals,
relating to any Award; to determine whether, to what extent, and under what

non-recurring events affecting the Company or the financial statements of the
Company, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or
accounting principles; to construe and interpret the Plan and any Award; to
prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; to
determine the terms and provisions of Award Agreements; and to make all other
determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

                  The Committee shall consist of two or more persons, each of

Committee shall be made by a majority of its members either present in person or
participating by conference telephone at a meeting or by written consent. The
Committee may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more agents
such administrative duties as it may deem advisable, and the Committee or any
person to whom it has delegated duties as aforesaid may employ one or more
persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or
such person may have under the Plan. All decisions, determinations and
interpretations of the Committee shall be final and binding on all persons,

4.       Eligibility.

                  Awards may be granted to officers and other key employees of
the Company selected by the Committee in its sole discretion. Subject to Section
5, in determining the persons to whom Awards shall be granted and the
Performance Goals relating to each Award, the Committee shall take into account
such factors as the Committee shall deem relevant in connection with
accomplishing the purposes of the Plan.

5.       Terms of Awards.

                  Awards granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an
Award Agreement in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve.

                  (a)      In General. The Committee shall specify with respect
to a Performance Period the Performance Goals applicable to each Award and
minimum, target and maximum levels applicable to each Performance Goal. The
minimum level reflects the level of performance at which 80% of the performance
goal is achieved and below which no payment shall be made; the target level
reflects the level of performance at which 100% of the Performance Goal is
achieved; and the maximum level reflects the level of performance at which 150%
of the Performance Goal is achieved. Awards for any Performance Period may be
expressed as a dollar amount or as a percentage of the Participant's Annual Base
Salary. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in connection with specified
terminations of employment, or except as set forth in Section 6(f), payment in
respect of Awards shall be made only if and to the extent the Performance Goals
with respect to such Performance Period are attained.

                  (b)      Special Provisions Regarding Awards. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5, in no event shall payment
in respect of Awards granted for a Performance Period be made to a Participant
who is a Covered Employee in an amount that exceeds 150% of such Participant's
Annual Base Salary.

                  (c)      Time and Form of Payment. Unless otherwise determined
by the Committee, all payments in respect of Awards granted under this Plan
shall be made, in cash, within a reasonable period after the end of the
Performance Period; provided, however, that in order to receive such payment, a
Participant must be employed by the Company or one of its Affiliates on the day
such payment is to be made. In addition, in the case of Participants who are
Covered Employees, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, such payments
shall be made only after achievement of the Performance Goals has been certified
by the Committee.

6.General Provisions.

                  (a)      Compliance With Legal Requirements. The Plan and the
granting and payment of Awards, and the other obligations of the Company under
the Plan and any Award Agreement or other agreement shall be subject to all
applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals
by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required.

                  (b)      Nontransferability. Awards shall not be transferable
by a Participant except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

                  (c)      No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in the Plan
or in any Award granted or any Award Agreement or other agreement entered into
pursuant hereto shall confer upon any Participant the right to continue in the
employ of the Company or to be entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set
forth in the Plan or such Award Agreement or other agreement or to interfere
with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate such
Participant's employment.

                  (d)      Withholding Taxes. The Company shall have the right
to withhold the amount of any taxes that the Company may be required to withhold
before delivery of payment of an Award to the Participant or other person
entitled to such payment, or to make such other arrangements for the withholding
of taxes that the Company deems satisfactory.

                  (e)      Amendment, Termination and Duration of the Plan. The
Board or the Committee may at any time and from time to time alter, amend,
suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that, no
amendment that requires shareholder approval in order for the Plan to continue
to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code shall be effective unless the same
shall be approved by the requisite vote of the shareholders of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall affect adversely any of the
rights of any Participant, without such Participant's consent, under any Award
theretofore granted under the Plan.

                  (f)      Change in Control. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan to the contrary, if, while any Awards remain outstanding
under the Plan, a Change in Control shall occur, the Performance Period
outstanding at the time of such Change in Control shall be deemed to have been
completed, the maximum level of performance set forth under the respective
Performance Goals shall be deemed to have been attained and a

                                       7
<PAGE>   8
pro rata portion (based on the number of full and partial months that have
elapsed with respect to each Performance Period) of each outstanding Award
granted to each Participant for the outstanding Performance Period shall become
payable in cash to each Participant within ten business days following such
change in control, regardless of whether such Participant is employed by the
Company or any successor or affiliate as of such date.

                  (g)      Participant Rights. No Participant shall have any
claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for
uniformity of treatment among Participants.

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

                  (i)      Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations made
and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

                  (j)      Beneficiary. A Participant may file with the
Committee a written designation of a beneficiary on such form as may be
prescribed by the Committee and may, from time to time, amend or revoke such
designation. If no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, the executor
or administrator of the Participant's estate shall be deemed to be the grantee's
beneficiary.

                  (k)      Interpretation. The Plan is designed and intended to
comply, to the extent applicable, with Section 162(m) of the Code, and all
provisions hereof shall be construed in a manner to so comply.

                  (l)      Effective Date. The Plan shall take effect upon its
adoption by the Board.

                                       8
