III.     ELIGIBILITY.

         3.1      Participation. The Compensation Committee (or any Committee to
whom the Board of Directors may delegate this authority) may grant Options, SARs
and/or awards of Restricted Stock or Performance Shares under this Plan to any
officer, key employee or Consultant of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries. The
Corporation may also grant Options and/or awards of Restricted Stock to any
director of the Corporation, subject to the restrictions in Section 3.3. In
granting such awards and determining their form and amount, the Committee shall
give consideration to the functions and responsibilities of the individual, his
or her potential contributions to profitability and sound growth of the
Corporation and such other factors as the Committee may, in its discretion, deem
relevant.

         3.2      Named Executive Officers. Notwithstanding Section 3.1 or any
other provisions of this Plan, for any time at which the Corporation is subject
to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any
officer who is or is likely to become a Named Executive Officer or a "covered
employee" for purposes of Code Section 162(m) shall not be granted Options, SARs
or awards of Restricted Stock or Performance Shares unless the grant has been
approved by the Compensation Committee.

         3.3      Directors. Members of the Board of Directors who are officers
of the Corporation or Consultants shall be eligible for Options or other awards
under this Plan on the same terms as other officers or Consultants. Other
members of the Board of Directors shall be eligible for Options or Restricted
Stock awards only to the extent specified in such general policy on compensation
of Nonemployee Directors as may be established by the Board of Directors.

IV.      OPTIONS.

         4.1      Terms and Conditions. Subject to Section 3.2, the Committee
may, in its sole discretion, from time to time grant Options to any officer,
director, key employee or Consultant of the Corporation. The grant of an Option
to an eligible officer, director, employee or Consultant shall be evidenced by a
written Option Agreement in substantially the form approved by the Committee.
Such Option shall be subject to the following express terms and conditions and
to such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this
Plan, as the Committee (or, in the case of a Named Executive Officer, the
Compensation Committee) may deem appropriate.

                  (a)      Shares Covered. The Committee shall, in its
discretion, determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by the
Options granted to any Participant. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock
with respect to which Options may be granted to any employee, officer, director
or Consultant during any one calendar year is 600,000 shares.


                                       4
<PAGE>

                  (b)      Exercise Period. The term of each Option shall be for
such period as the Committee shall determine, but for not more than ten years
from the Date of Grant thereof. The Committee shall also have the discretion to
determine when each Option granted hereunder shall become exercisable, and to
prescribe any vesting schedule limiting the exercisability of such Options as it
may deem appropriate. The Committee may, in its discretion, condition the
vesting and exercisability of any Option granted under the Plan on satisfaction
of (i) any minimum period of continued employment with the Corporation by the
Participant the Committee deems appropriate ("service vesting"), (ii)
satisfaction of any of one or more Management Objectives the Committee deems
appropriate ("performance vesting"), or (iii) any combination of service vesting
and performance vesting requirements the Committee deems appropriate.

                  (c)      Option Price. The Option Price payable for the shares
of Common Stock covered by any Option shall be determined by the Committee, but
shall in no event be less than the par value of Common Stock. The Option Price
for ISOs shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the
Date of Grant. The Option Price for Nonstatutory Options may be less than the
Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Date of Grant only if the Committee
determines that special circumstances warrant a lower exercise price.

                  (d)      Exercise of Options. A Participant may exercise his
or her Options from time to time by written notice to the Corporation of his or
her intent to exercise the Options with respect to a specified number of shares.
The specified number of shares will be issued and transferred to the Participant
upon receipt by the Corporation of (i) such notice and (ii) payment in full for
such shares, and (iii) receipt of any payments required to satisfy the
Corporation's tax withholding obligations pursuant to Section 10.2.

                  (e)      Payment of Option Price Upon Exercise. Each Option
Agreement shall provide that the Option Price for the shares with respect to
which an Option is exercised may be paid to the Corporation at the time of
exercise, in the form of (i) cash, (ii) delivery to the Corporation of whole
shares of Common Stock already owned by the Participant, valued at their Fair
Market Value on the day immediately preceding the date of exercise, (iii) at the
discretion of the Corporation, any other method mutually satisfactory to the
Participant and the Committee, or (iv) a combination of any of the above equal
to the Option Price for the shares.

                  (f)      Cashless Exercises. Alternatively, if the Common
Stock is traded on a stock exchange or other public market, the Corporation may
permit the Participant to exercise an Option by delivery of a signed,
irrevocable notice of exercise, accompanied by payment in full of the Option
Price by the Participant's stockbroker and an irrevocable instruction to the
Corporation to deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Option promptly to the Participant's stockbroker for the Participant's account,
provided that at the time of such exercise, such exercise would not subject the
Participant to liability under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, or would be exempt pursuant to Rule 16b-3 or any other exemption from such
liability, and would not violate Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

         4.2      Effect of Termination of Employment, Retirement, Disability or
Death.

                  (a)      Unless otherwise provided in the terms of an
employment agreement expressly approved by the Board of Directors or
Compensation Committee, if a Participant's employment (or other relationship, in
the case of a Consultant or director) with the Corporation is involuntarily
terminated, or is terminated by the Participant without the Corporation's
express consent, for any reason other than retirement, disability or death, his
or her unvested Options shall terminate immediately and any vested but
unexercised Options shall terminate on that date which is ninety (90) days after
the date of the termination, unless the Committee decides in its sole
discretion, to waive this termination date and amend the Participant's Option
Agreement to provide otherwise.

                  (b)      Any Option Agreement may, in the Committee's sole
discretion, include such provisions as the Committee deems advisable with
respect to the Participant's right to exercise the Option subsequent to
retirement or other termination with the consent of the Corporation, or
subsequent to termination of the Participant's employment by reason of total and
permanent disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code);
provided, that, in no event shall any Option be exercisable after the fixed
termination date set forth in the Participant's Option Agreement pursuant to
Section 4.1(b); and further provided that no ISO shall be exercisable at any
time subsequent to the expiration of the period of three (3) months from the
date of retirement, or the period of twelve (12) months from the date of
termination of the Participant's employment (or other relationship with the
Corporation) by reason of total and permanent disability, as the case may be.

                  (c)      Any Option Agreement may, in the Committee's sole
discretion, provide that, in the event the Participant dies while in the employ
of the Corporation (or while serving as an active Consultant), or while he or
she has the right to exercise his or her Options under the preceding Section
4.2(b), the Options may be exercised (to the extent it had become exercisable
prior to the time of the Participant's death), during such period of up to one
year after the date of the Participant's death as the Committee deems to be
appropriate, by the personal representative of the Participant's estate, or by
the person or persons to whom the Options shall have been transferred by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution.

                  (d)      For purposes of this Section 4.2, termination of a
Participant shall be deemed to occur at such time as the Committee shall
determine that the Participant is no longer a common law employee of the
Corporation or any Subsidiary. The Committee shall have the discretion to
determine whether the employment relationship between the Corporation (or
Subsidiary) and any Participant has terminated. Part-time or non-exclusive
employment by the Corporation may be considered employment by the Corporation as
long as the Participant is treated as an employee for purposes of FICA and
payroll taxes, as shall employment by a Subsidiary. In addition, the Committee
shall have full discretion to determine whether a Participant's reduction in
hours, medical or disability leave, FMLA leave, absence on military or
government service, or other authorized leave of absence, shall constitute a
termination of employment for purposes of this Plan.

         4.3      Designation of Options as Incentive Stock Options. The
Committee may, in its discretion, specify that any Options granted to a
Participant who is an employee of the Corporation or a Subsidiary shall be ISOs
qualifying under Code Section 422. Each Option Agreement which provides for the
grant of ISOs shall designate that such Options are intended to qualify as ISOs.
Each


                                       6
<PAGE>

provision of the Plan and of each Option Agreement relating to an Option
designated as an ISO shall be construed so that such Option qualifies as an ISO,
and any provision that cannot be so construed shall be disregarded.

                  Any Options granted under this Plan which are designated as
ISOs shall comply with the following terms:

                  (a)      The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the
time an ISO is granted) of the shares of Common Stock (together with all other
stock of the Corporation and all stock of any Parent or Subsidiary) with respect
to which the ISOs may first become exercisable by an individual Participant
during any calendar year, under all stock option plans of the Corporation (or
any Parent or Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000. To the extent this
limitation would otherwise be exceeded, the Option shall be deemed to consist of
an ISO for the maximum number of shares which may be covered by ISOs pursuant to
the preceding sentence, and a Nonstatutory Option for the remaining shares
subject to the Option.

                  (b)      The Option Price payable upon the exercise of an ISO
shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the
Date of Grant.

                  (c)      In the case of an ISO granted to a Participant who is
a Ten Percent Stockholder, the period of the Option shall not exceed five years
from the Date of Grant, and the Option Price shall not be less than 110 percent
of the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the Date of Grant.

                  (d)      No ISO granted under this Plan shall be assignable or
transferable by the Participant, except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution. During the life of the Participant, any ISO shall be exercisable
only by the Participant.

         4.4      Authority to Waive Restrictions on Exercisability. The
Committee may, in its discretion, determine at any time that all or any portion
of the Options granted to one or more Participants under the Plan shall,
notwithstanding any restrictions on exercisability imposed pursuant to Section
4.1(b), become immediately exercisable in full. The Committee may make such
further adjustments to the terms of such Options as it may deem necessary or
appropriate in connection therewith, including amending the Option Agreement to
recognize that all or a portion of the Options no longer qualify as ISOs under
Section 4.3.

         4.5      Non-Assignability. Options granted under this Plan shall
generally not be assignable or transferable by the Participant, except by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution, or as described in the next
paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its discretion,
permit a Participant to transfer all or a portion of his or her Options to
members of his or her immediate family, to trusts for the benefit of members of
his immediate family, or to family partnerships or limited liability companies
in which immediate family members are the only partners or members, provided
that the Participant may receive no consideration for such transfers, and that
such Options shall still be subject to termination in accordance with Section
4.2 above in the hands of the transferee.


                                       7
<PAGE>

         4.6      Reload Options. The Committee may, in its discretion, also
grant a Participant Reload Option Rights with respect to his or her Options. If
a Participant has been granted Reload Option Rights with respect to Options, and
then exercises his or her Options by paying the Option Price by delivering
previously owned shares of Common Stock, as authorized under Section 4.1(e)
above, the Participant shall automatically be granted additional Options on the
same terms for the number of shares delivered to pay such Option Price;
provided, however, that the term of any Reload Option shall not extend beyond
the term of the Option originally exercised.

         4.7      Covenants Not to Compete. The Committee may, in its
discretion, condition any Option granted to an employee, Consultant or Director
of the Corporation upon such Participant's agreement to enter into such covenant
not to compete with the Corporation as the Committee may deem to be desirable.
Such covenant not to compete shall be appended to the Participant's Option
Agreement, and the Option Agreement shall provide that the Option shall be
forfeited immediately, whether otherwise vested or not, if the Board of
Directors determines that the Participant has violated his or her covenant not
to compete. In addition, in the Committee's discretion, a Participant's Option
Agreement may also provide that if the Participant breaches his or her covenant
not to compete, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase any shares of
Common Stock previously issued to the Participant pursuant to an exercise of the
Option, at a repurchase price equal to the Option Price paid by the Participant.

V.       STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

         5.1      Grant of SARs. Subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3, the Committee
may, in its discretion, from time to time grant stock appreciation rights to a
Participant in connection with Options granted under this Plan. Participants
granted SARs shall be entitled to receive upon exercise thereof, in cash or
Common Stock as provided in Section 5.3(c), the difference between the Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock on the day preceding the exercise date and the
Option Price of the underlying Option. SARs may be granted with respect to all
or part of the Common Stock under a particular Option, except as otherwise
expressly provided herein.

         5.2      Tandem Options. SARs issued in tandem with Options shall
entitle the Participant holding the related Option, upon exercise, in whole or
in part, of the SARs, to receive payment in the amount and form determined
pursuant to Section 5.3(c). SARs may be exercised only to the extent that the
related Option has not been exercised. The exercise of SARs shall result in a
pro rata surrender of the related Option to the extent that the SARs have been
exercised.

         5.3      Terms and Conditions. The grant of SARs shall be evidenced by
including provisions with respect to such SARs in the Participant's Option
Agreement in a form approved by the Committee. Such SARs shall be subject to the
following express terms and conditions and to such other terms and conditions,
not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, which the Committee (or, in the
case of a Named Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee) may deem
appropriate.

                  (a)      SARs shall be exercisable at such time or times and
to the extent, but only to the extent, that the Option to which they relate
shall be exercisable.


                                       8
<PAGE>

                  (b)      SARs (and any Option related thereto) shall not be
exercisable during the first six months after the date of grant and such rights
shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and shall be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by
the Participant.

                  (c)      Upon exercise of SARs, the Participant shall be
entitled to receive an amount equal in value to the difference between the
Option Price and the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the day
preceding the exercise date, multiplied by the number of shares in respect of
which the SARs shall have been exercised. Such amount shall be paid in the form
of (i) cash, (ii) shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value on the day
preceding the exercise date equal to such amount or (iii) a combination of cash
and shares of Common Stock, all as determined by the Committee.

                  (d)      In no event shall an SAR be exercisable at a time
when the Option Price of the underlying Option is greater than the Fair Market
Value of the shares subject to the related Option.

VI.      RESTRICTED STOCK.

         6.1      Rights As A Stockholder. Subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3, the
Committee may, in its discretion, grant a Participant an award consisting of
shares of Restricted Stock, or cause the Corporation to sell shares of
Restricted Stock to a Participant on such terms as the Committee may determine
to be appropriate. At the time of the Restricted Stock award, the Committee
shall cause the Corporation to deliver to the Participant, or to a custodian or
an escrow agent designated by the Compensation Committee, a stock certificate or
certificates for such shares of Restricted Stock, registered in the name of the
Participant. The Participant shall have all the rights of a stockholder with
respect to such Restricted Stock, subject to the terms and conditions, including
forfeiture or resale to such Corporation, if any, as the Committee may determine
to be desirable pursuant to Section 6.3 of the Plan. The Committee may designate
the Corporation or one or more of its executive officers to act as custodian or
escrow agent for the certificates.

        6.2       Certificates for Restricted Stock Awards.

                  (a)      A Participant granted an award of Restricted Stock
shall not be deemed to have become a stockholder of the Corporation, or to have
any rights with respect to such shares of Restricted Stock, until and unless
such Participant shall have executed a restricted stock agreement or other
instrument evidencing the award and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to
the Corporation and otherwise complied with the then applicable terms and
conditions of such award, including, if the shares of Restricted Stock are to be
sold to the Participant, payment of the specified purchase price on such terms
as the Committee may prescribe.

                  (b)      When a Participant is granted shares of Restricted
Stock, the Corporation shall issue a stock certificate or certificates in
respect of shares of Restricted Stock. Such certificates shall be registered in
the name of the Participant, and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to
the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such award substantially in
the following form:

<PAGE>

                           "The transferability of the shares of stock
                  represented by this Certificate are subject to the terms and
                  conditions (including forfeiture) of a Restricted Stock
                  Agreement entered into between the registered owner and
                  Radiation Therapy Services, Inc. A copy of such Agreement is
                  on file in the offices of the Secretary of the Corporation."

                  (c)      Except as may be otherwise determined by the
Committee pursuant to Section 6.1 above (or as required in order to satisfy the
tax withholding obligations imposed under Section 10.3 of this Plan),
Participants granted awards of Restricted Stock under this Plan will not be
required to make any payment or provide consideration to the Corporation other
than the rendering of services.

         6.3      Restrictions and Forfeitures. Restricted Stock awarded to a
Participant pursuant to this Article VI shall be subject to the following
restrictions and conditions:

                  (a)      During a period set by the Committee of not less than
six (6) months, but not more than ten (10) years, commencing with the date of an
award (the "Restriction Period"), the Participant will not be permitted to sell,
transfer, pledge or assign the shares of Restricted Stock awarded to him or her.
Within these limits, the Committee may provide for the lapse of such
restrictions in installments where deemed appropriate, or for the lapse of such
restrictions upon the satisfaction of such minimum periods of continued service
with the Corporation or the achievement of such Management Objectives as the
Committee may have established in connection with the award.

                  (b)      Except as provided in Section 6.3(a), the Participant
shall have with respect to the Restricted Stock all of the rights of a
stockholder of the Corporation, including the right to vote the shares and
receive dividends and other distributions.

                  (c)      Subject to the provisions of Section 6.3(d), unless
otherwise provided in the terms of an employment agreement expressly approved by
the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee, upon termination of the
Participant's employment with the Corporation (or status as a Consultant) during
the Restriction Period for any reason, all shares of Restricted Stock with
respect to which the restrictions have not yet expired shall be forfeited to or
repurchased by the Corporation.

                  (d)      In the event of a Participant's retirement, permanent
total disability, or death, or in cases of special circumstances, the Committee
may, in its sole discretion, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best
interests of the Corporation, waive in whole or in part any or all remaining
restrictions with respect to such Participant's Restricted Stock.

                  (e)      Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section
6.3, the Committee may adopt rules which would permit a gift by a Participant of
shares of Restricted Stock to a spouse, child, stepchild, grandchild or to a
trust the beneficiary or beneficiaries of which shall be either such a person or
persons or the Participant, provided that the Restricted Stock so transferred
shall be similarly restricted.

                  (f)      Any attempt to dispose of shares of Restricted Stock
in a manner contrary to the restrictions set forth herein shall be ineffective.


                                       10
<PAGE>

                  (g)      Nothing in this Section 6.3 shall preclude a
Participant from exchanging any Restricted Stock for any other shares of the
Common Stock that are similarly restricted.

         6.4      Restricted Stock Units. As an alternative to Restricted Stock
awards, the Committee may in its discretion grant Restricted Stock Units to
Participants, and may determine the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
such Restricted Stock Unit awards and the terms and conditions of, and the
amount of payment, if any, to be made by the Participant for such Restricted
Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall represent the right to be issued a
share of Common Stock at a future date, subject to the satisfaction of such
contingencies as may be prescribed by the Committee, in its discretion, for
vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit. Each Restricted Stock Unit award will be
evidenced by a written Restricted Stock Agreement containing such terms and
conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall determine to be
appropriate in its sole discretion.

                  At the time Restricted Stock Units are granted to a
Participant, the Committee shall establish a period or periods of time (the
"Restricted Period") applicable to such Restricted Stock Units which, subject to
the provisions of this Section 6, shall not be less than one year. Subject to
the other provisions of this Section 6.4 below, at the end of the Restricted
Period all restrictions shall lapse and the Restricted Stock Units shall be
settled by the Corporation. At the time Restricted Stock Units are granted, the
Committee may, in its discretion, prescribe conditions for the incremental lapse
of restrictions during the Restricted Period and for the lapse or termination of
restrictions upon the occurrence of other conditions in addition to or other
than the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to all or any portion
of the Restricted Stock Units. The Committee may, in its discretion, condition
the lapse of restrictions on any Restricted Stock Units on satisfaction of (i)
any minimum period of continued employment with the Corporation by the
Participant the Committee deems appropriate ("service vesting"), (ii)
satisfaction of any of one or more Management Objectives the Committee deems
appropriate ("performance vesting"), or (iii) any combination of service vesting
and performance vesting requirements the Committee deems appropriate.

                  For each Participant granted Restricted Stock Units, the
Committee shall establish a Restricted Stock Unit Account ("Account") on its
books, and shall credit to such Account the number of Restricted Stock Units
that are granted to the Participant. Until the Restricted Stock Units are
settled:

                  (i)      the Participant shall not be entitled to issuance of
                           the shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted
                           Stock Units until the expiration or termination of
                           the Restricted Period and the satisfaction of any and
                           all other conditions prescribed by the Committee;

                  (ii)     none of the shares of Restricted Stock Units may be
                           sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise
                           encumbered or disposed of by the Participant during
                           the Restricted Period and until the satisfaction of
                           any and all other conditions prescribed by the
                           Committee, and

                  (iii)    all of the Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited
                           and all rights of the Participant in and to such
                           Restricted Stock Units shall terminate without
                           further obligation on the part of the Corporation if
                           the Participant ceases to be


                                       11
<PAGE>

                           employed by (or, if the Participant is a consultant,
                           ceases to perform Consulting Services for) the
                           Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, before the
                           expiration or termination of the Restricted Period
                           and before the satisfaction of any and all other
                           conditions prescribed by the Committee applicable to
                           such Restricted Stock Units. Upon the forfeiture of
                           any shares of Restricted Stock Units, any rights to
                           be issued the covered shares shall be forfeited
                           without further action by the Participant or the
                           Corporation.

                  Upon the expiration or termination of the Restricted Period
and the satisfaction of any and all other conditions prescribed by the
Committee, the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock Units shall lapse
and the Corporation shall settle the Restricted Stock Units by issuing a stock
certificate to the Participant, representing one share of Common Stock for each
Restricted Stock Unit with respect to which the restrictions have lapsed. Such
shares shall be delivered, free of all such restrictions except any that may be
imposed by law, to the Participant. The Corporation shall not be required to
deliver any fractional share of Common Stock but will pay, in lieu thereof, the
Fair Market Value (determined as of the date the restrictions lapse) of such
fractional share to the Participant. Prior to or concurrently with the delivery
of a certificate for the shares of Common Stock, the Participant shall be
required to pay an amount necessary to satisfy any applicable federal, state and
local tax requirements, as set out in Section 10.2 below.

VII.     CHANGE IN CONTROL TRANSACTIONS.

         7.1      Change in Control. For purposes of this Plan, a "Change in
Control" shall include any of the events described below:

                  (a)      Approval by the shareholders of the Corporation of a
reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar corporate transaction, in each
case, with respect to which persons who were the shareholders of the Corporation
immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation or other
transaction do not, immediately thereafter, own more than 50% of the combined
voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the
reorganized, merger or consolidated Corporation's then outstanding voting
securities (unless such reorganization, merger, consolidation or other
corporation transaction (any such event being referred to as a "Corporate
Transaction") is subsequently abandoned);

                  (b)      A liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation or
the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation;

                  (c)      Individuals who, as of the date on which the Award is
granted, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a
director subsequent to the date on which the Award was granted whose election,
or nomination for election by the Corporation's shareholders, was approved by a
vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board
(other than an election or nomination of an individual whose initial assumption
of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest
relating to the election of the Directors of the Corporation, as such terms are
used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act) shall be,


                                       12
<PAGE>

for purposes of this Agreement, considered s though such person were a member of
the Incumbent Board;

                  (d)      The acquisition (other than from the Corporation) by
any person, entity or "group", within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or
14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act, of more than 40% of either the then
outstanding shares of the Corporation's Common Stock or the combined voting
power of the Corporation's then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors (hereinafter referred to as the ownership
of a "Controlling Interest") excluding, for this purpose, any acquisitions by
(1) the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, (2) any person, entity or "group" that
as of the date on which the Award is granted owns beneficial ownership (within
the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act) of a
Controlling Interest or (3) any employee benefit plan of the Corporation or its
Subsidiaries; or

                  (e)      Any person, or group of persons, files notice with
the SEC of a tender offer for at least thirty percent (30%) of the Corporation's
Common Stock.

         7.2      Effect of Change in Control. In the event of a pending or
threatened Change in Control, the Board of Directors may, in its sole
discretion, take any one or more of the following actions with respect to all
Participants (other than with respect to Named Executive Officers):

                           (i)      Accelerate the exercise dates of any
                  outstanding Options, make all outstanding Options and SARs
                  fully vested and exercisable;

                           (ii)     Determine that all or any portion of
                  conditions associated with a Restricted Stock, Performance
                  Share or Restricted Stock Unit awards have been met;

                           (iii)    Grant SARs or a cash bonus award to any of
                  the holders of outstanding Options;

                           (iv)     Pay cash to any or all Option holders in
                  exchange for the cancellation of their outstanding
                  Nonstatutory Options, SARs, Restricted Stock Units, or
                  Performance Shares;

                           (v)      Make any other adjustments or amendments to
                  the Plan and outstanding Options, SARs, Restricted Stock,
                  Restricted Stock Units, or Performance Share awards and/or
                  substitute new Options or other awards.

With respect to any Named Executive Officer, any such action shall be effective
only if it is approved by the Compensation Committee.

VIII.    PERFORMANCE SHARES.


                                       13
<PAGE>

                  Subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3, the Committee (or, in the
case of Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee) may also, in its
discretion, grant Performance Shares to a Participant, which shall become
payable to the Participant upon the achievement of specified Management
Objectives, upon such terms and conditions as the Committee (or Compensation
Committee) may determine in accordance with the following provisions:

                  (a)      Each such award shall specify the number of
Performance Shares to which it pertains, which may be subject to adjustment to
reflect changes in compensation or other factors.

                  (b)      The Performance Period with respect to each
Performance Share shall be determined by the Committee on the Date of Grant.

                  (c)      For each Participant's award, the Committee shall
specify the Management Objectives that are to be achieved by the Participant,
which may be described in terms of Corporation-wide objectives or in terms of
objectives that are related to the performance of the individual Participant or
the department or function within the Corporation in which the Participant is
employed. These Management Objectives shall be selected by the Committee within
the first ninety (90) days of the Performance Period. Management Objectives for
Participants who are (or may become) Named Executive Officers shall be submitted
for approval by the Corporation's shareholders if the Corporation wishes to be
able to treat the Performance Shares as "qualified performance-based
compensation" for purposes of Code Section 162(m).

                  (d)      Each Participant's award of Performance Shares shall
specify that the amount payable with respect thereto may not exceed a maximum
specified by the Committee on the Date of Grant, or the number of shares of
Common Stock issued with respect thereto may not exceed maximums specified by
the Committee on the Date of Grant.

                  (e)      Each Participant's award shall specify in respect of
each of the specified Management Objectives the minimum acceptable level of
achievement below which no payment will be made, and shall set forth a formula
for determining the amount of any payment to be made if performance is at or
above the minimum acceptable level but falls short of full achievement of the
specified Management Objectives.

                  (f)      Each Participant's award shall specify the time and
manner of payment of Performance Shares that have been earned. No payment shall
be made, with respect to a Named Executive Officer's Performance Shares unless
the Compensation Committee has certified in writing that the Management
Objectives with respect to such Performance Shares have been met. Any award may
specify that any such amount may be paid by the Corporation in cash, shares of
Common Stock or any combination thereof and may either grant to the Participant
or reserve to the Committee the right to elect among those alternatives.

                  (g)      The Committee (or, for Named Executive Officers, the
Compensation Committee) may adjust Management Objectives and the related minimum
acceptable level of achievement if, in the judgment of the Committee, events or
transactions have occurred after the Date of Grant that are unrelated to the
performance of the Participant and result in distortion of the Management
Objectives or the related minimum acceptable level of achievement.


                                       14
<PAGE>

                  (h)      Each Participant's award under this Article VIII
shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be executed on behalf of the
Corporation by any officer thereof and delivered to and accepted by the
Participant and shall contain such terms and provisions as the Committee may
determine consistent with this Plan.

                  (i)      The maximum amount that may be earned under this
Article VIII or other cash award with respect to a performance period in any
fiscal year by any one Participant shall be $5,000,000.

IX.      AGGREGATE LIMITATION ON SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

        9.1       Number of Shares of Common Stock.

                  (a)      Shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant
to Options, SARs, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit or Performance Share
awards granted under the Plan may be either authorized and unissued shares of
Common Stock or of Common Stock held by the Corporation as treasury stock. The
number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance, subject to such
adjustments as may be made pursuant to Section 9.2, shall be equal to the sum of
(1) 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, plus (2) the number of shares of Common
Stock reserved for issuance under the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan that
remain available for grant under such plan at any time after the closing of the
Company's initial public offering, plus (3) an annual increase to be added the
first day of each fiscal year beginning in 2005 and ending in 2014 equal to the
lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on
such date, (ii) 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock or (iii) an amount determined
by the Board.

                  (b)      For purposes of Section 9.1(a), upon the exercise of
an Option or SAR, or upon settlement of a Performance Share or Restricted Stock
Unit award, the number of shares of Common Stock available for future issuance
under the Plan shall be reduced by the net number of shares actually issued to
the Participant, exclusive of any shares surrendered to the Corporation as
payment of the Option price, or any shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding
obligations.

                  (c)      Any shares of Common Stock subject to an Option,
Performance Share or Restricted Stock Unit award which for any reason is
cancelled, terminates unexercised or expires, except by reason of the exercise
of a related SAR, shall again be available for issuance under the Plan.

                  (d) In the event that any award of Restricted Stock is
forfeited, cancelled or surrendered for any reason, the shares of Common Stock
constituting such Restricted Stock award shall again be available for issuance
under the Plan.

         9.2      Adjustments of Stock. In the event of any change or changes in
the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation by reason of any stock dividend,
recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, combination
or any similar transaction, the Board of Directors (or, with the Board's
approval, the Committee) shall adjust the number of shares of Common Stock which
may be issued under this Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to
Options, Performance Share or Restricted Stock Unit awards theretofore granted
under this Plan, the Option Price of such Options, the number of SARs
theretofore granted in conjunction with an Option, the number of shares of
Restricted Stock and make any and all other adjustments deemed appropriate by
the Board of Directors in such manner as the Board of Directors or the Committee
deems appropriate to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights
granted to a participating employee.


                                       15
<PAGE>

                  New option rights may be substituted for the Options granted
under the Plan, or the Corporation's duties as to Options, SARs, Restricted
Stock Unit and Performance Share awards outstanding under the Plan may be
assumed by a Parent or Subsidiary, by another corporation or by a parent or
subsidiary (within the meaning of Section 425 of the Code) of such other
corporation, in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition,
separation, reorganization, liquidation or like occurrence in which the
Corporation is involved. In the event of such substitution or assumption, the
term Common Stock shall thereafter include the stock of the corporation granting
such new option rights or assuming the Corporation's duties as to such Options
or SARs.

X.       MISCELLANEOUS.

         10.1     General Restriction. Any Option, SAR, Restricted Stock,
Performance Share or Restricted Stock Unit award granted under this Plan shall
be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee shall determine
that any registration of the shares of Common Stock, or any consent or approval
of any governmental body, or any other agreement or consent, is necessary as a
condition of the granting of an Option or other award, or the issuance of Common
Stock in satisfaction thereof, such Common Stock will not be issued or delivered
until such requirement is satisfied in a manner acceptable to the Committee.

       10.2       Withholding Taxes.

                  (a)      The Committee shall have the right to require
participating employees to remit to the Corporation an amount sufficient to
satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the
delivery of any shares of Common Stock under the Plan. If a Participant sells,
transfers, assigns or otherwise disposes of shares of Common Stock acquired upon
the exercise of an ISO within two (2) years after the date on which the ISO was
granted or within one (1) year after the receipt of the shares of Common Stock
by the Participant, the Participant shall promptly notify the Corporation of
such disposition and the Corporation shall have the right to require the
Participant to remit to the Corporation the amount necessary to satisfy any
federal, state and local tax withholding requirements imposed on the Corporation
by reason of such disposition.

                  (b)      The Corporation shall have the right to withhold from
payments made in cash to a Participant under the terms of the Plan, an amount
sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements
imposed with respect to such cash payments.

                  (c)      Amounts to which the Corporation is entitled pursuant
to Section 10.2(a) or (b), may be paid, at the election of the Participant and
with the approval of the Committee, either (i) paid in cash, (ii) withheld from
the Participant's salary or other compensation payable by the Corporation,
including cash payments made under this Plan, (iii) withheld from the shares of
Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant upon exercise of an Option or
SAR, that have a Fair Market Value on the date on which the amount of tax to be
withheld is determined (the "Tax Date") not less than the minimum amount of tax
the Corporation is required to withhold, (iv) by delivery to the Corporation of
shares of Common Stock already held by the Participant (including newly vested
shares of Restricted Stock issued under this Plan) with a Fair Market Value on
the Tax Date equal to the minimum amount of tax the Corporation is required to
withhold, or (v) in any combination of the foregoing acceptable to the
Committee. A Participant's election to have shares of Common Stock


                                       16
<PAGE>

withheld that are otherwise issuable shall be in writing, shall be irrevocable
upon approval by the Committee, and shall be delivered to the Corporation prior
to the Tax Date with respect to the exercise of an Option or SAR.

         10.3     Investment Representation. If the Committee determines that a
written representation is necessary in order to secure an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, the Committee may demand that the
Participant deliver to the Corporation at the time of any exercise of any Option
or SAR, or at time of the transfer of shares of Restricted Stock, any written
representation that Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate for such
purpose, including but not limited to a representation that the shares to be
issued are to be acquired for investment and not for resale or with a view to
the distribution thereof, and any other assurances that the Committee deems
appropriate. If the Committee makes such a demand, delivery of a written
representation satisfactory to the Committee shall be a condition precedent to
the right of the Participant to acquire such shares of Common Stock.

         10.4     No Right to Employment. Nothing in this Plan or in any
agreement entered into pursuant to this Plan shall confer upon any participating
employee the right to continue in the employment of the Corporation (or any
subsidiary) or affect any right which the Corporation (or any subsidiary) may
have to terminate the employment of such participating employee.

         10.5     Non-Uniform Determinations. The Committee's determinations
under this Plan (including without limitation its determinations of the persons
to receive Options, SARs, or awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit
or Performance Share awards, the form, amount and timing of such awards and the
terms and provisions of such awards, including any Management Objectives) need
not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among Participants who receive,
or are eligible to receive, awards under this Plan, whether or not such
Participants are similarly situated.

         10.6     No Rights as Stockholder. Participants granted Options, SARs,
Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares under this Plan shall have no
rights as shareholders of the Corporation as applicable with respect thereto
unless and until certificates for shares of Common Stock are issued to them.

         10.7     Transfer Restrictions. The Committee may determine that any
Common Stock to be issued by the Corporation upon the exercise of Options or
SARs, or in settlement of Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares, shall be
subject to such further restrictions upon transfer as the Committee determines
to be appropriate.

         10.8     Fractional Shares. The Corporation shall not be required to
issue any fractional Common Shares pursuant to this Plan. The Committee may
provide for the elimination of fractions or for the settlement thereof in cash.

         10.9     Corporation Purchase of Options. In the event the

XI.      ADMINISTRATION.

                  (a)      The Plan shall be administered by the Board of
Directors. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Board of Directors may
delegate its authority with respect to Participants to a Committee consisting of
such members as may be appointed by the Board of Directors from time to time,
and, if the Common Stock is publicly traded, shall, within the time that the
Corporation is required by applicable law and the rules and regulations of
Nasdaq to have a Compensation Committee, delegate its authority with respect to
Named Executive Officers to the Compensation Committee. Members of the Committee
need not be members of the Board of Directors, and shall serve at the pleasure
of the Board of Directors.

                  (b)      Except as provided in Section 3.2, the Board of
Directors (or, in its place, the Committee) shall have the authority, in its
sole discretion, from time to time: (i) to grant Options, SARs, shares of
Restricted Stock or Performance Shares to officers, directors, key employees,
and Consultants of the Corporation, as provided for in this Plan; (ii) to
prescribe such limitations, restrictions and conditions upon any such awards as
the Committee shall deem appropriate; (iii) to determine the periods during
which Options may be exercised and to accelerate the exercisability of
outstanding Options or SARs, or the vesting of Restricted Stock or Performance
Share awards, as it may deem appropriate; (iv) to modify, cancel, or replace any
prior Options or other awards and to amend the relevant Option Agreements or
Restricted Stock Agreements with the consent of the affected Participants,
including amending such agreements to amend vesting schedules, extend exercise
periods or increase or decrease the Option Price for Options, as it may deem to
be necessary; and (v) to interpret the Plan, to adopt, amend and rescind rules
and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make all other determinations and
to take all other action necessary or advisable for the implementation and
administration of the Plan. With respect to any Named Executive Officer, this
authority shall be transferred to the Compensation Committee, or may be
exercised by the Board of Directors subject to the condition that the express
approval of the Compensation Committee must be obtained.

                  (c)      All actions taken by the Board of Directors, the
Compensation Committee or the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding
upon any eligible employee. No member of the Board of Directors, the
Compensation Committee or the Committee shall be liable for any action taken or
decision made in good faith relating to the Plan or any award thereunder.

may at any time terminate this Plan or any part thereof and may from time to
time amend this Plan as it may deem advisable; provided, however the Board of
Directors shall obtain shareholder approval of any amendment for which
shareholder approval is required under Section 422 of the Code, or the
shareholder approval requirements imposed on the Corporation by the Listing
