(b)           Each
Participant who receives Shares upon exercise of an Option that is an Incentive
Stock Option shall give the Company prompt notice of any sale of Shares prior to
a date which is two years from the date the Option was granted or one year from
the date the Option was exercised.  Such sale shall disqualify the
Option as an Incentive Stock Option.




(c)           The
aggregate Fair Market Value (determined with respect to each Incentive Stock
Option at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the Shares with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a
Participant during any calendar year (under this Plan or any other plan of the
Company or an Affiliate) shall not exceed $100,000.




(d)           Any
Option under this Plan which is designated by the Committee as an Incentive
Stock Option but fails, for any reason, to meet the foregoing requirements shall
be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.




Section
5.7          Method of
Exercise.




(a)           Subject
to the limitations of the Plan and the Award Agreement, an Option Holder may, at
any time on or after the Vesting Date and during the Exercise Period, exercise
his or her right to purchase all or any part of the Shares to which the Option
relates.  An Option Holder shall exercise an Option to purchase Shares
by:







(i)           giving
written notice to the Committee, in such form and manner as the Committee may
prescribe, of his or her intent to exercise the Option;









(ii)         delivering
to the Committee full payment for the Shares as to which the Option is to be
exercised; and




(iii)        satisfying
such other conditions as may be prescribed in the Award Agreement.




(b)           The
Exercise Price of Shares to be purchased upon exercise of any Option shall be
paid in full:


(iv)         in
cash (by certified or bank check or such other instrument as the Company may
accept); or




(v)         if
and to the extent permitted by the Committee, in the form of Shares already
owned by the Option Holder having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date the
Option is exercised equal to the aggregate Exercise Price to be paid;
or




(vi)        by
a combination thereof.




Payment
for any Shares to be purchased upon exercise of an Option may also be made by
delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company, together with a
copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company
the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the purchase price and applicable tax
withholding amounts (if any), in which event the Shares acquired shall be
delivered to the broker promptly following receipt of payment.




(c)           When
the requirements of this Section have been satisfied, the Committee shall take
such action as is necessary to cause the issuance of a stock certificate or the
issuance of Shares in uncertificated form to the Option Holder. The Person
exercising the Option shall have no right to vote or to receive dividends, nor
have any other rights with respect to the Shares, prior to the date the Shares
are transferred to such Person on the stock transfer records of the Company, and
no adjustments shall be made for any dividends or other rights for which the
record date is prior to the date as of which the transfer is
effected.





Section
5.8          Limitations on
Options.




(a)           An
Option by its terms shall not be transferable by the Option Holder other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to the terms of a
Qualified Domestic Relations Order, and shall be exercisable, during the life of
the Option Holder, only by the Option Holder or an alternate payee designated
pursuant to such a Qualified Domestic Relations Order; provided, however, that a
Participant may, at any time at or after the grant of a Non-Qualified Stock
Option under the Plan, apply to the Committee for approval to transfer all or
any portion of such Non-Qualified Stock Option which is then unexercised to such
Participant's Family Member. The Committee may approve or withhold approval of
such transfer in its sole and absolute discretion. If such transfer is approved,
it shall be effected by written notice to the Company given in such form and
manner as the Committee may prescribe and actually received by the Company prior
to the death of the person giving it. Thereafter, the transferee shall have,
with respect to such Non-Qualified Stock Option, all of the rights, privileges
and obligations which would attach thereunder to the Participant. If a privilege
of the Option depends on the life, Service or other status of the Participant,
such privilege of the Option for the transferee shall continue to depend upon
the life, Service or other status of the Participant. The Committee shall have
full and exclusive authority to interpret and apply the provisions of the Plan
to transferees to the extent not specifically addressed herein.







(b)           The
Company's obligation to deliver Shares with respect to an Option shall, if the
Committee so requests, be conditioned upon the receipt of a representation as to
the investment intention of the Option Holder to whom such Shares are to be
delivered, in such form as the Committee shall determine to be necessary or
advisable to comply with the provisions of applicable federal, state or local
law. It may be provided that any such representation shall become inoperative
upon a registration of the Shares or upon the occurrence of any other event
eliminating the necessity of such representation. The Company shall not be
required to deliver any Shares under the Plan prior to:





(i)           the
admission of such Shares to listing on any stock exchange or trading on any
automated quotation system on which Shares may then be listed or traded;
or




(ii)           the
completion of such registration or other qualification under any state or
federal law, rule or regulation as the Committee shall determine to be necessary
or advisable.




The
Committee may impose such other restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to
the exercise of an Option as it may deem advisable, including, without
limitation, requiring the Option Holder to hold the Shares acquired upon
exercise for a specified period of time and/or until the satisfaction of one or
more specified conditions.




(c)           An
Option Holder may designate a Beneficiary to receive any Options that may be
exercised after his death. Such designation and any change or revocation of such
designation shall be made in writing in the form and manner prescribed by the
Committee. In the event that the designated Beneficiary dies prior to the Option
Holder, or in the event that no Beneficiary has been designated, any Options
that may be exercised following the Option Holder's death shall be transferred
to the Option Holder's estate. If the Option Holder and his or her Beneficiary
shall die in circumstances that cause the Committee, in its discretion, to be
uncertain which shall have been the first to die, the Option Holder shall be
deemed to have survived the Beneficiary.




Section
5.9          Prohibition
Against Option Repricing.




Except as
provided in Section 8.3, neither the Committee nor the Board shall have the
right or authority following the grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan to
amend or modify the Exercise Price of any such Option, or to cancel the Option
at a time when the Exercise Price is less than the Fair Market Value of the
Shares, in exchange for another Option or Award.

Appreciation Rights.




(a)           Subject
to the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may, in its discretion, grant to a
Participant a Stock Appreciation Right.  A Stock Appreciation Right
shall be designated as either a tandem Stock Appreciation Right or a stand-alone
Stock Appreciation Right and, if not so designated, shall be deemed to be a
stand-alone Stock Appreciation Right.  A tandem Stock Appreciation
Right may only be granted at the same time as the Option to which it
relates.  The exercise of a tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall
cancel the related Option for a like number of Shares and the exercise of a
related Option shall cancel a tandem Stock Appreciation Right for a like number
of Shares.




(b)           Any
Stock Appreciation Right granted shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement which

Section
6.3          Exercise
Price.




The price
per Share at which a Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised shall be
determined by the Committee, in its discretion, provided, however, that the
Exercise Price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the
date on which the Stock Appreciation Right is granted.




Section
6.4          Exercise
Period.




The
Exercise Period during which a Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised shall
commence on the Vesting Date.  It shall expire on the earliest
of:





(a)           the
date specified by the Committee in the Award Agreement;




(b)           the
last day of the three-month period (or, in the case of a Stock Appreciation
Right that is not granted in tandem with an Incentive Stock Option, such longer
or shorter period as may be specified by the Committee in the Award Agreement)
commencing on the date of the Participant's termination of Service, other than
on account of death, Disability or a Termination for Cause;




(c)           the
last day of the one-year period (or, in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right
that is not granted in tandem with an Incentive Stock Option, such longer or
shorter period as may be specified by the Committee in the Award Agreement)
commencing on the date of the Participant's termination of Service due to death
or Disability;




(d)           as
of the time and on the date of the Participant's termination of Service due to a
Termination for Cause; or




(e)           the
last day of the ten-year period commencing on the date on which the Stock
Appreciation Right was granted.











A Stock
Appreciation Right that remains unexercised at the close of business on the last
day of the Exercise Period shall be canceled without consideration at the close
of business on that date.




Section
6.5          Vesting
Date.




(a)           The
Vesting Date for each Stock Appreciation Right Award shall be determined by the
Committee and specified in the Award Agreement.




(b)           Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee and specified in the Award
Agreement:




(i)           if
the Participant of a Stock Appreciation Right Award terminates Service prior to
the Vesting Date for any reason other than death or Disability, any unvested
Award shall be forfeited without consideration;




(ii)          if
the Participant of a Stock Appreciation Right Award terminates Service prior to
the Vesting Date on account of death or Disability, the Vesting Date shall be
accelerated to the date of the Participant's termination of Service;
and




(iii)         if
a Change in Control occurs prior to the Vesting Date of a Stock Appreciation
Right Award that is outstanding on the date of the Change in Control, the
Vesting Date shall be accelerated to the earliest date of the Change in
Control.




Section
6.6          Method of
Exercise.




(a)           Subject
to the limitations of the Plan and the Award Agreement, a Participant may, at
any time on or after the Vesting Date and during the Exercise Period, exercise
his or her Stock Appreciation Right as to all or any part of the Shares to which
the Stock Appreciation Right relates.  A Stock Appreciation Right
Holder shall exercise a Stock Appreciation Right by:





(i)           giving
written notice to the Committee, in such form and manner as the Committee may
prescribe, of his or her intent to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right;
and




(ii)
         satisfying such other
conditions as may be prescribed in the Award Agreement.




(b)           When
the requirements of this Section have been satisfied, the Committee shall take
such action as is necessary to cause the remittance to the Stock Appreciation
Right Holder (or, in the event of his or her death, his or her Beneficiary) of a
number of Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the excess (if
any) of (i) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over (ii)
the Exercise Price per Share, times the number of Stock Appreciation Rights
exercised.  Such shares may in certificated or uncertificated
form.  The Person exercising the Stock Appreciation Right shall have
no right to vote or to receive dividends, nor have any other rights with respect
to the Shares, prior to the date the Shares are transferred to such Person on
the stock transfer records of the Company, and no adjustments shall be made for
any dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date as
of which the transfer is effected.









Section
6.7          Limitations on
Stock Appreciation Rights.




(a)           A
Stock Appreciation Right by its terms shall not be transferable by the Stock
Appreciation Right Holder other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, or pursuant to the terms of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order,
and shall be exercisable, during the life of the Stock Appreciation Right
Holder, only by the Stock Appreciation Right Holder or an alternate payee
designated pursuant to such a Qualified Domestic Relations Order; provided, however, that a
Participant may, at any time at or after the grant of a Stock Appreciation Right
under the Plan, apply to the Committee for approval to transfer all or any
portion of such Stock Appreciation Right which is then unexercised to such
Participant's Family Member. The Committee may approve or withhold approval of
such transfer in its sole and absolute discretion. If such transfer is approved,
it shall be effected by written notice to the Company given in such form and
manner as the Committee may prescribe and actually received by the Company prior
to the death of the person giving it. Thereafter, the transferee shall have,
with respect to such Stock Appreciation Right, all of the rights, privileges and
obligations which would attach thereunder to the Participant. If a privilege of
the Stock Appreciation Right depends on the life, Service or other status of the
Participant, such privilege of the Stock Appreciation Right for the transferee
shall continue to depend upon the life, Service or other status of the
Participant. The Committee shall have full and exclusive authority to interpret
and apply the provisions of the Plan to transferees to the extent not
specifically addressed herein.




(b)           The
Company's obligation to deliver Shares with respect to a Stock Appreciation
Right shall, if the Committee so requests, be conditioned upon the receipt of a
representation as to the investment intention of the Stock Appreciation Right
Holder to whom such Shares are to be delivered, in such form as the Committee
shall determine to be necessary or advisable to comply with the provisions of
applicable federal, state or local law. It may be provided that any such
representation shall become inoperative upon a registration of the Shares or
upon the occurrence of any other event eliminating the necessity of such
representation. The Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares under
the Plan prior to:


(i)           the
admission of such Shares to listing on any stock exchange or trading on any
automated quotation system on which Shares may then be listed or traded;
or




(ii)         the
completion of such registration or other qualification under any state or
federal law, rule or regulation as the Committee shall determine to be necessary
or advisable.




The
Committee may impose such other restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to
the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right as it may deem advisable, including,
without limitation, requiring the Stock Appreciation Right Holder to hold the
Shares acquired upon exercise for a specified period of time and/or until the
satisfaction of one or more specified conditions.




(c)           A
Stock Appreciation Right Holder may designate a Beneficiary to receive any Stock
Appreciation Right that may be exercised after his death. Such designation and
any change or revocation of such designation shall be made in writing in the
form and manner prescribed by the Committee. In the event that the designated
Beneficiary dies prior to the Stock Appreciation Right Holder, or in the event
that no Beneficiary has been designated, any Stock Appreciation Rights that may
be exercised following the Stock Appreciation Right Holder's death shall be
transferred to the Stock Appreciation Right Holder's estate. If the Stock
Appreciation Right Holder and his or her Beneficiary shall die in circumstances
that cause the Committee, in its discretion, to be uncertain which shall have
been the first to die, the Stock Appreciation Right Holder shall be deemed to
have survived the Beneficiary.










Section
6.8          Prohibition
Against Stock Appreciation Right Repricing.




Except as
provided in Section 8.3, neither the Committee nor the Board shall have the
right or authority following the grant of a Stock Appreciation Right pursuant to
the Plan to amend or modify the Exercise Price of any such Stock Appreciation
Right or to cancel the Stock Appreciation Right at a time when the Exercise
Price is less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares, in exchange for another
Stock Appreciation Right or Award.

cover the minimum amount required to be withheld.

stock dividend or other special and nonrecurring dividend or distribution
(whether in the form of cash, securities or other property), liquidation,
dissolution, or other similar corporate transaction or event, affects the

conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards (including, without
limitation, cancellation of Awards in exchange for the in-the-money value, if
any, of the vested portion thereof, or substitution of Awards using stock of a
successor or other entity) in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events
(including, without limitation, events described in the preceding sentence)
affecting the Company or any Affiliate or the financial statements of the
