         SECTION 2. Administration.
                    --------------

         The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors or by a
Committee of not less than three Disinterested Persons, who shall be appointed
by the Board of Directors of the Company and who shall serve at the pleasure of
the Board.

         The Committee shall have the power and authority to grant to eligible
employees and consultants of the Company (which consultants shall serve pursuant
to a written agreement with the Company), pursuant to the terms of the Plan: (i)
Stock Options, or (ii) Restricted Stock.

         In particular, the Committee shall have the authority:

         (i)      to select the officers and other key employees of the Company
                  and its Subsidiaries and consultants to whom Stock Options
                  and/or Restricted Stock awards may from time to time be
                  granted hereunder;

         (ii)     to determine whether and to what extent Incentive Stock
                  Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options or Restricted Stock
                  awards, or a combination of the foregoing, are to be granted
                  hereunder;

                                       2
<PAGE>

         (iii)    to determine the number of shares to be covered by each such
                  award granted hereunder;

         (iv)     to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with
                  the terms of the Plan, of any award granted hereunder
                  (including, but not limited to, any restriction on any Stock
                  Option or other award and/or the shares of Stock relating
                  thereto); and

         (v)      to determine whether, to what extent and under what
                  circumstances Stock and other amounts payable with respect to
                  an award under this Plan shall be deferred either
                  automatically or at the election of the participant.

         The Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such
administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall,
from time to time, deem advisable; to interpret the terms and provisions of the
Plan and any award issued under the Plan (and any agreements relating thereto);
and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan. The Committee may
delegate its authority to officers of the Company for the purpose of selecting
employees who are not officers of the Company for purposes of (i) above.

         All decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the
Plan shall be final and binding on all persons, including the Company and Plan
participants.

         SECTION 3. Stock Subject to Plan.
                    ---------------------

         The total number of shares of Stock reserved and available for
distribution under the Plan shall be 500,000 shares. Such shares may consist, in
whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares.

         If any shares that have been optioned ceased to be subject to Options,
or if any shares subject to any Restricted Stock award granted hereunder are
forfeited or such award otherwise terminates without a payment being made to the
participant, such shares shall again be available for distribution in connection
with future awards under the Plan.

         In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation,
recapitalization, stock dividend, other change in corporate structure affecting
the Stock, or spin-off or other distribution of assets to shareholders, such
substitution or adjustment shall be made in the aggregate number of shares
reserved for issuance under the Plan, in the number and option price of shares
subject to outstanding options granted under the Plan, and in the number of
shares subject to Restricted Stock awards granted under the Plan as may be
determined to be appropriate by the Committee, in its sole discretion, provided
that the number of shares subject to any award shall always be a whole number.

         SECTION 4. Eligibility.
                    -----------

         Officers, other employees, consultants (which consultants shall serve
pursuant to a written agreement with the Company) and members of the Board of
Directors of the Company and Subsidiaries who are responsible for or contribute
to the management, growth and/or profitability of the business of the Company
and its Subsidiaries are eligible to be granted Stock Options or Restricted
Stock awards under the Plan. The optionees and participants under the Plan shall
be selected from time to time by the Committee, in its sole discretion, from
among those eligible, and the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion,
the number of shares covered by each award.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         SECTION 5. Stock Options.
                    -------------

         Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the
Committee may from time to time approve.

         The Stock Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i)
Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options. No Incentive Stock
Options shall be granted under the Plan more than ten years after the Plan is
adopted.

         The Committee shall have the authority to grant any optionee Incentive
Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, or both types of options. To the
extent that any option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall
constitute a separate Non-Qualified Stock Option.

         Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term of this
Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or
altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so
exercised, so as to disqualify either the Plan or any Incentive Stock Option
under Section 422 of the Code. The preceding sentence shall not preclude any
modification or amendment to an outstanding Incentive Stock Option, whether or
not such modification or amendment results in disqualification of such Option as
an Incentive Stock Option, provided the optionee consents in writing to the
modification or amendment.

         Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms
and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable.

         (a) Option Price. The option price per share of Stock purchasable under
a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant and
may, except as provided in this paragraph, be less than the Fair Market Value of
the Stock on the date of the grant of the Option. In no event shall the option
price per share of Stock purchasable under an Incentive Stock Option be less
than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of the grant of the
option. If an employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution
rules applicable under Section 425(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent Corporation or
Subsidiary and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such employee, the option
price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the
date the option is granted. No Non-Qualified Stock Option shall have an option
price less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant.

         (b) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the
Committee, but no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten
years after the date the option is granted. If an employee owns or is deemed to
own (by reason of the attribution rules of Section 425(d) of the Code) more than
10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any
Parent Corporation or Subsidiary and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to
such employee, the term of such option shall be no more than five years from the
date of grant.

         (c) Exercisability. Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or
times as determined by the Committee at or after grant. If the Committee
provides, in its discretion, that any option is exercisable only in
installments, the Committee may waive such installment exercise provisions at
any time.

         (d) Method of Exercise. Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in
part at any time during the option period by giving written notice of exercise
to the Company specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Such notice
shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, either by

                                       4
<PAGE>

certified or bank check, or by any other form of legal consideration deemed
sufficient by the Committee and consistent with the Plan's purpose and
applicable law, including promissory notes or a properly executed exercise
notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker acceptable to the
Company to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds
to pay the exercise price. As determined by the Committee, in its sole
discretion, payment in full or in part may also be made in the form of
unrestricted Stock already owned by the optionee or, in the case of the exercise
of a Non-Qualified Stock Option or Restricted Stock subject to an award
hereunder (based, in each case, on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the
date the option is exercised, as determined by the Committee); provided,
however, that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the right to make a
payment in the form of already owned shares may be authorized only at the time
the option is granted, and provided further that in the event payment is made in
the form of shares of Restricted Stock, the optionee will receive a portion of
the option shares in the form of, and in an amount equal to, the Restricted
Stock award tendered as payment by the optionee. If the terms of an option so
permit, an optionee may elect to pay all or part of the option exercise price by
having the Company withhold from the shares of Stock that would otherwise be
issued upon exercise that number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value
equal to the aggregate option exercise price for the shares with respect to
which such election is made. No shares of Stock shall be issued until full
payment therefor has been made. An optionee shall generally have the rights to
dividends and other rights of a shareholder with respect to shares subject to
the option when the optionee has given written notice of exercise, has paid in
full for such shares, and, if requested, has given the representation described
in paragraph (a) of Section 10.

         (e) Non-transferability of Options. No Stock Option shall be
transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the
optionee's lifetime, only by the optionee.

         (f) Termination by Death. If an optionee's employment by the Company
and any Subsidiary or Parent Corporation terminates by reason of death, the
Stock Option may thereafter be immediately exercised, to the extent then
exercisable (or on such accelerated basis as the Committee shall determine at or
after grant), by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the
optionee under the will of the optionee, for a period of three years (or such
shorter period as the Committee shall specify at grant) from the date of such
death or until the expiration of the stated term of the option, whichever period
is shorter.

         (g) Termination by Reason of Disability. If an optionee's employment by
the Company and any Subsidiary or Parent Corporation terminates by reason of
Disability, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised,
to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination due to Disability
(or on such accelerated basis as the Committee shall determine at or after
grant), but may not be exercised after three years (or such shorter period as
the Committee shall specify at grant) from the date of such termination of
employment or the expiration of the stated term of the option, whichever period
is the shorter. In the event of termination of employment by reason of
Disability, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of
the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, the
option will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

         (h) Termination by Reason of Retirement. If an optionee's employment by
the Company and any Subsidiary or Parent Corporation terminates by reason of
Retirement, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised
to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such Retirement, but may not be
exercised after three years (or such shorter period as Committee shall specify
at grant) from the date of such termination of employment or the expiration of
the stated term of the option, whichever period is the shorter. In the event of
termination of employment by reason of Retirement, if an Incentive Stock Option
is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for
purposes of Section 422 of the Code, the option will thereafter be treated as a
Non-Qualified Stock Option.

                                       5
<PAGE>

         (i) Other Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if
an optionee's employment by the Company and any Subsidiary or Parent Corporation
terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, the Stock
Option shall thereupon terminate, except that the option may be exercised to the
extent it was exercisable at such termination for the lesser of three months or
the balance of the option's term if the optionee is involuntarily terminated
without Cause by the Company and any Subsidiary or Parent Corporation.

         (j) Annual Limit on Incentive Stock Options. The aggregate Fair Market
Value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of the Common Stock with
respect to which an Incentive Stock Option under this Plan or any other plan of
the Company and any Subsidiary or Parent Corporation is exercisable for the
first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.

         (k) Automatic Grant to Outside Directors. Each person serving as a
member of the Company's Board of Directors who is not, as of the date of
determination under this paragraph (k), an employee of the Company, any Parent
Corporation or any Subsidiary, or the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the
Company's outstanding shares of Stock, or an affiliate or associate of such
beneficial holder, is referred to herein for purposes of this paragraph (k) as
an "Outside Director". Each person who is an Outside Director at the conclusion
of each Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company (including without
limitation the Annual Meeting at which the Plan amendment referred to in this
sentence is approved by the shareholders) shall be automatically granted as of
the date of such Annual Meeting a Non-Qualified Option to purchase 1,500 shares
of Stock.

         Each person who is elected to be an Outside Director between Annual
Meetings shall be automatically granted as of the date of such election a
Non-Qualified Option to purchase a number of shares calculated by (1)
multiplying 1,500 shares by (2) a fraction in which the numerator is 365 minus
the number of days that have elapsed from the date of the most recent Annual
Meeting to the date of election of the Outside Director and the denominator is
365, and (3) rounding that result up to the next whole share.

         Each Non-Qualified Option granted pursuant to this paragraph (k) shall
have an exercise price per share equal to the Fair Market Value per share of the
Stock on the date of grant, shall be fully vested upon the date of grant and
shall expire five years after the date of grant.

         No further grants of stock options shall be made to any member of the
Board of Directors under Article 8 of the Company's 1994 Non-Qualified Stock
Option Plan (the "1994 Plan") on or after the date this Plan is approved by the
Company's shareholders, it being intended that this paragraph (k) provides a
substitute for options under Article 8 of the 1994 Plan.

         SECTION 6. Restricted Stock.
                    ----------------

         (a) Administration. Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued either
alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall
determine the officers and key employees of the Company and Subsidiaries to
whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock will be made,
the number of shares to be awarded, the time or times within which such awards
may be subject to forfeiture, and all other conditions of the awards. The
Committee may also condition the grant of Restricted Stock upon the attainment
of specified performance goals. The provisions of Restricted Stock awards need
not be the same with respect to each recipient.

                                       6
<PAGE>

         (b) Awards and Certificates. The prospective recipient of an award of
shares of Restricted Stock shall not have any rights with respect to such award,
unless and until such recipient has executed an agreement evidencing the award
and has delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, and has
otherwise complied with the then applicable terms and conditions.

                  (i) Each participant shall be issued a stock certificate in
         respect of shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan. Such
         certificate 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:

                  "The transferability of this certificate and the shares of
                  stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and
                  conditions (including forfeiture) of WTC Industries, Inc. 1996
                  Stock Plan and an Agreement entered into between the
                  registered owner and the Company. Copies of such Plan and
                  Agreement are on file in the offices of the Company."

                  (ii) The Committee shall require that the stock certificates
         evidencing such shares be held in custody by the Company until the
         restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any
         Restricted Stock award, the participant shall have delivered a stock
         power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Stock covered by such award.

         (c) Restrictions and Conditions. The shares of Restricted Stock awarded
pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the following restrictions and
conditions:

                  (i) Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the award
         agreement, during a period set by the Committee commencing with the
         date of such award (the "Restriction Period"), the participant shall
         not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge or assign shares of
         Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan. Within these limits, the
         Committee may provide for the lapse of such restrictions in
         installments where deemed appropriate.

                  (ii) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(i) of this Section 6,
         the participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted
         Stock, all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the
         right to vote the shares and the right to receive any cash dividends.
         The Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit or require the
         payment of cash dividends to be deferred and, if the Committee so
         determines, reinvested in additional shares of Restricted Stock (to the
         extent shares are available under Section 3 and subject to paragraph
         (f) of Section 10). Certificates for shares of unrestricted Stock shall
         be delivered to the grantee promptly after, and only after, the period
         of forfeiture shall have expired without forfeiture in respect of such
         shares of Restricted Stock.

                  (iii) Subject to the provisions of the award agreement and
         paragraph (c)(iv) of this Section 6, upon termination of employment for
         any reason during the Restriction Period, all shares still subject to
         restriction shall be forfeited by the participant.

                  (iv) In the event of special hardship circumstances of a
         participant whose employment is terminated (other than for Cause),
         including death, Disability or Retirement, or in the event of an
         unforeseeable emergency of a participant still in service, the
         Committee may, in its sole discretion, when it finds that a waiver
         would be in the best interest of the Company, waive in whole or in part
         any or all remaining restrictions with respect to such participant's
         shares of Restricted Stock.

         SECTION 7. Transfer, Leave of Absence, etc.
                    -------------------------------

         For purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a
termination of employment:

         (a) a transfer of an employee from the Company to a Parent Corporation
or Subsidiary, or from a Parent Corporation or Subsidiary to the Company, or
from one Subsidiary to another;

         (b) a leave of absence, approved in writing by the Committee, for
military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company
if the period of such leave does not exceed ninety (90) days (or such longer
period as the Committee may approve, in its sole discretion); and

         (c) a leave of absence in excess of ninety (90) days, approved in
writing by the Committee, but only if the employee's right to reemployment is
guaranteed either by a statute or by contract, and provided that, in the case of
any leave of absence, the employee returns to work within 30 days after the end
of such leave.

         SECTION 8. Amendments and Termination.
                    --------------------------

         The Board may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment,
alteration, or discontinuation shall be made (i) which would impair the rights
of an optionee or participant under a Stock Option, Restricted Stock or other
Stock-based award theretofore granted, without the optionee's or participant's
consent, or (ii) which without the approval of the stockholders of the Company
would cause the Plan to no longer comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, Section 422 of the Code or any other regulatory
requirements.

         The Committee may amend the terms of any award or option theretofore
granted, prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to Section 3 above, no
such amendment shall impair the rights of any holder without his consent.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee (or if there is
no Committee, then the Board) shall have the authority to accelerate the vesting
of any or all outstanding options or awards in the event of any actual or
threatened change in control of the Company. The Committee may also substitute
new Stock Options for previously granted options, including previously granted
options having higher option prices.

         SECTION 9. Unfunded Status of Plan.
                    -----------------------

         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 or optionee by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any
such participant or optionee any rights that are greater than those of a general
creditor of the Company. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the
creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under
the Plan to deliver Stock or payments in lieu of or with respect to awards
hereunder, provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other
arrangements is consistent with the unfunded status of the Plan.

         SECTION 10. General Provisions.
                     ------------------

         (a) The Committee may require each person purchasing shares pursuant to
a Stock Option under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in
writing that the optionee is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution
thereof. The certificates for such shares may include any legend which the
Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

                                       8
<PAGE>

         All certificates for shares of Stock delivered under the Plan pursuant
to any Restricted Stock or other Stock-based awards shall be subject to such
stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable
under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed, and
any applicable Federal or state securities laws, and the Committee may cause a
legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate
reference to such restrictions.

         (b) Subject to paragraph (d) below, recipients of Restricted Stock and
other Stock-based awards under the Plan (other than Stock Options) are not
required to make any payment or provide consideration other than the rendering
of services.

         (c) Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board of Directors
from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to
stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be
either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption
of the Plan shall not confer upon any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary
any right to continued employment with the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case
may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or a
Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any of its employees at any time.

         (d) Each participant shall, no later than the date as of which any part
of the value of an award first becomes includible as compensation in the gross
income of the participant for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company,
or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of, any
Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with
respect to the award. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be
conditional on such payment or arrangements and the Company and Subsidiaries
shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes
from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the participant. With respect to
any award under the Plan, if the terms of such award so permit, a participant
may elect by written notice to the Company to satisfy part or all of the
withholding tax requirements associated with the award by (i) authorizing the
Company to retain from the number of shares of Stock that would otherwise be
deliverable to the participant, or (ii) delivering to the Company from shares of
Stock already owned by the participant, that number of shares having an
aggregate Fair Market Value equal to part or all of the tax payable by the
participant under this Section 10(d). Any such election shall be in accordance
with, and subject to, applicable tax and securities laws, regulations and
rulings.

         (e) At the time of grant, the Committee may provide in connection with
any grant made under this Plan that the shares of Stock received as a result of
such grant shall be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company,
pursuant to which the participant shall be required to offer to the Company upon
termination of employment for any reason any shares that the participant
acquired under the Plan, with the price being the then Fair Market Value of the
Stock or, in the case of a termination for Cause, an amount equal to the cash
consideration paid for the Stock, subject to such other terms and conditions as
the Committee may specify at the time of grant. The Committee may, at the time
of the grant of an award under the Plan, provide the Company with the right to
repurchase, or require the forfeiture of, shares of Stock acquired pursuant to
the Plan by any participant who, at any time within one year after termination
of employment with the Company, directly or indirectly competes with, or is
employed by a competitor of, the Company.

                                       9
<PAGE>

         (f) The reinvestment of dividends in additional Restricted Stock at the
time of any dividend payment shall only be permissible if the Committee (or the
Company's chief financial officer) certifies in writing that under Section 3
sufficient shares are available for such reinvestment (taking into account then
outstanding Stock Options and other Plan awards).

         SECTION 11. Effective Date of Plan.
                     ----------------------

         The Plan shall be effective on the date it is approved by a vote of the
holders of a majority of the Stock present and entitled to vote at a meeting of
the Company's shareholders.

         Adopted by the Board of Directors: September 24, 1996

Registrable Securities to be registered in a Priority Demand Registration or
Demand Registration under this Section 3 so elect, the offering of such
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Priority Demand Registration or Demand
Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering. In such event, if
the managing underwriter or underwriters of such offering advise the Company and
the holders in writing that in their opinion the Registrable Securities
requested to be included in such offering is sufficiently large so as to
materially and adversely affect the success of the offering, the Company shall
include in such registration the maximum amount of Registrable Securities which
in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters can be sold without
any such material adverse effect. The Company shall include Registrable
Securities in such registration as follows: (i) first, pro rata among the
holders of Registrable Securities who have requested to be included in such
registration pursuant to Section 3(a) or 3(b) (provided that, in the case of a
registration pursuant to Section 3(b), no Existing Common Shares shall be
entitled to be included unless all other Registrable Securities requesting to
participate shall have been included in such registration); (ii) second, all
securities held by the Company for which the Company has requested inclusion
pursuant to Section 3(a) or 3(b); and (iii) third, any other holders of
securities of the Company who have requested to be included in such registration
statement.

               (e) Selection of Underwriters. The investment banker or bankers
                   -------------------------
and manager or managers that will administer the offering will be nationally
recognized investment banking firm(s) selected by the Company with the prior
written consent of the holders of a majority in number of Registrable Securities
to be included in such offering, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.

               (f) Piggy-Back Registration. If the Company determines to file a

registration statement under the Securities Act relating to a proposed sale to

option or purchase plans or a transaction employing Securities and Exchange
Commission Form S-4 or Form S-8 or successor forms thereto), either for its own
account or the account of a security holder or holders, the Company shall:

                    (1) promptly give to each holder of Registrable Securities
written notice thereof (which will include, to the extent known at the time, a
list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to qualify such
securities under the applicable blue sky or other state securities laws, the
proposed offering price or price range, and the plan of distribution);

                    (2) include in such registration (and any related
qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting
involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request
or requests, made within forty-five (45) days after such written notice from the

                    (3) use its best efforts to cause the managing underwriter
or underwriters of such proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable
Securities requested to be included in the registration statement for such
offering to be included on the same terms and conditions as any similar
securities of the Company included therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the managing underwriter or underwriters of such offering deliver a written
opinion to the Company and the holders of such Registrable Securities that
marketing considerations require a limitation on the number of shares of Common
Stock offered pursuant to any Registration Statement filed under this Section
3(f), such limitation shall be imposed pro rata among all holders of Registrable
Securities who requested inclusion in the registration.

               (g)  Request for Registration on Form S-3 by Holders of
                    --------------------------------------------------
Registrable Securities. Subject to Section 5(c) of the Shareholders' Agreement,
----------------------
at any time after the Company becomes eligible to file a Registration Statement
on Form S-3, if the Company receives from any holders of at least 20% of the
then outstanding Registrable Securities (other than holders of Existing Common
Shares), a written request that the Company effect any registration or
qualification with respect to the Registrable Securities, the Company will:

                    (1) within ten (10) days of receipt of such a request, give
written notice of the proposed registration or qualification to all other
holders of Registrable Securities; and

                    (2) as soon as practicable, effect such registration or
qualification (including, without limitation, the execution in the applicable
Registration Statement of an undertaking to file required post-effective
amendments, appropriate qualification under the applicable blue sky or other
state securities laws and appropriate compliance with exemptive regulations
issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or
regulations) as may be so requested and as are reasonably necessary to permit or
facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such holder's or
holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with
all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other holder or holders
joining in such request, or the Company in the case of securities requested by
the Company to be registered (provided, however, the Company and the holders of

Registrable Securities (other than Existing Common Shares) as are specified by
any holder in an S-3 Registration request have been included in such
registration), as are specified in a written notice given to the Company within
20 days after the date of such written notice from the Company pursuant to
Section 3(g)(1).

          Subject to the foregoing provisions, the Company will file a
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so requested to be
registered as soon as practicable, but in any event within one hundred twenty
(120) days, after receipt of the request or requests of the initiating holders,
and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement and
Prospectus through which such S-3 Registration is effected to remain effective
until all Registrable Securities are sold.

          A registration of Registrable Securities will not count as an S-3
Registration until it has become effective and all Registrable Securities
included in such S-3 Registration have been sold or withdrawn by the
participating holders pursuant thereto.

in its request to participate in any such Underwritten Offering, not to effect
any public sale or distribution of the applicable class of Registrable
Securities commencing on the date of sale of such applicable class of
Registrable Securities unless it has provided 45 days' prior written notice of

                    (2) to cause (i) each officer and director of the Company
and (ii) each holder of securities issued by the Company to agree not to effect
any public sale or distribution of any privately placed debt or equity
securities of the Company, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act (except as part of such Underwritten Registration, if permitted),
during the one hundred eighty (180) day period subsequent to the filing of the
Registration Statement for each Underwritten Offering and during the one hundred
eighty (180) day period following the effective date of such Registration
Statement, in each case to the extent the managing underwriter makes a timely
written request that specifically identifies such holder(s).

alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission is corrected in an
amendment or supplement to the Prospectus and if, having previously been
furnished by or on behalf of the Company with copies of the Prospectus as so
amended or supplemented, such holder thereafter fails to deliver such Prospectus
as so amended or supplemented prior to or concurrently with the sale of a
Registrable Security to the person asserting such loss, claim, damage, liability
or expense who purchased such Registrable Security which is the subject thereof
from such holder. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which the
Company may otherwise have. The Company will also provide customary
indemnification to underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar
securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their
officers and directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act)
to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the
Indemnified Holders of Registrable Securities.

          If any action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation
or inquiry) shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Holder in
respect of which indemnity may be sought from the Company, such Indemnified
Holder shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall
assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Holder and the payment of all expenses. Such
Indemnified Holder shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be the expense of such Indemnified Holder unless (a) the
Company has agreed to pay such fees and expenses or (b) the Company shall have
failed to assume the defense of such action or proceeding or has failed to
employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Holder in any such
action or proceeding or (c) if the representation of such Indemnified Holder by
the counsel retained by the Company would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential conflicts of interests between the Indemnified Holder and any other
party represented by such counsel in such proceeding based on written advice of
counsel made available to the Company (in which case, if such Indemnified Holder
notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the
expense of the Company, the Company shall not have the right to assume the
defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Holder, it
being understood, however, that the Company shall not, in connection with any
one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related
actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for such Indemnified Holder
and any other Indemnified Holders, which firm shall be designated in writing by
such Indemnified Holders). The

                                       16

<PAGE>

Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding
effected without its written consent, but if settled with its written consent,
or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action or
proceeding, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified
Holders from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment.

               (b) Indemnification by Holder of Registrable Securities. Each
                   ---------------------------------------------------
holder of Registrable Securities agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, its directors and officers and each Person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the
Company to such holder, but only with respect to information relating to such
holder furnished in writing by such holder expressly for use in any Registration
Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any
preliminary Prospectus. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought
against the Company or its directors or officers or any such controlling person,
in respect of which indemnity may be sought against a holder of Registrable
Securities, such holder shall have the rights and duties given the Company and
the Company or its directors or officers or such controlling person shall have
the rights and duties given to each holder by Section 7(a). In no event shall
the liability of any selling holder of Registrable Securities under this Section
7(b) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by
such holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such
indemnification obligation.

          The Company shall be entitled to receive indemnities from
underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry
professionals participating in the distribution, to the same extent as provided
above with respect to information so furnished in writing by such Persons
specifically for inclusion in any Prospectus or Registration Statement or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary Prospectus.

               (c) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this
                   ------------
Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or Section
7(b) hereof (other than by reason of exceptions provided in those Sections) in
respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to
therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the Company, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Holder, on the other hand,
in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand,
and of the Indemnified Holder, on the other hand, shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Indemnified Holder and
the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by
a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth in the second paragraph of Section 7(a), any

                                       17

<PAGE>

legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection
with investigating or defending any action or claim.

          The Company and each holder of Registrable Securities agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(c)
were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation
which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section
7(c), an Indemnified Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable
Securities sold by such Indemnified Holder or its affiliated Indemnified Holders
and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of
any damages which such Indemnified Holder, or its affiliated Indemnified
Holders, has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

          8.   Rule 144.
               --------

          The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be
filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder and, at all times after the effective
date of the first registration filed by the Company which involves a sale of
securities of the Company to the general public, will take such further action
as any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable
Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation
of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such
Rule may be amended from time to time or (b) any similar rule or regulation
hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable
Securities, the Company will deliver to such holder a written statement as to
whether it has complied with such information and requirements.

          9.   Participation in Underwritten Registrations.
               -------------------------------------------

          No holder of Registrable Securities (or its successors or assigns) may
participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder unless such Person (a)
agrees to sell such Person's Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any
underwriting arrangements approved by the underwriters and other Persons
entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes
all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and
other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

          10.  Miscellaneous.
               -------------

               (a) Remedies. Each holder of Registrable Securities, in addition
                   --------
to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein and granted by law,
including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its
rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not
be adequate compensation for any loss

                                       18

<PAGE>

incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and
hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a
remedy at law would be adequate.

               (b)  No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not on or after
                    --------------------------
the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement, and as of the date of this
Agreement the Company is not a party to any agreement, with respect to its
securities which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of
Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the
provisions hereof or impairs the rights granted hereunder. The Company has not
previously entered into any agreement with respect to its securities granting
any registration rights to any Person which has not been terminated on or prior
to the date hereof.

               (c)  Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement,
                    ----------------------
including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof
may not be given unless the Company has obtained the written consent of holders
of at least 50% of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof that
relates exclusively to the rights of holders of Registrable Securities whose
securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not
directly or indirectly affect the rights of other holders of Registrable
Securities may be given by the holders of 50% of the Registrable Securities
being sold.

               (d)  Notices. All notices and other communications provided for
                    -------
or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered
first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or air courier guaranteeing overnight
delivery:

                    (1) if to a holder of Registrable Securities, at the most
current address given by such holder to the Company in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 10(d) (with the initial addresses for each person
which the Purchaser comprises as set forth in the Recapitalization Agreement, or
if a party to the Stock Purchase Agreement, as set forth therein, and with
copies to be sent as specified in the Recapitalization Agreement or Stock
Purchase Agreement); and

                    (2) if to the Company, initially at its address set forth in
the Stock Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of
which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11(e), with
copies to be sent as specified in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

          All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly
given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; when received if
deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; and on the next business day,
if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery.

               (e)  Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the
                    ----------------------
benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the
parties, including, without limitation, and without the need for an express
assignment, subsequent holders of Registrable Securities.

               (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
                   ------------
counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

               (g) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience
                   --------
of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

               (h) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
                   -------------
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

               (i) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the
                   ------------
provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining
provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

               (j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties
                   ----------------
as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and
exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in
respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions,
promises, warranties or undertakings as to the subject matter, other than those
set forth or referred to herein with respect to the registration rights granted
by the Company with respect to the Preferred Stock. This Agreement supersedes
all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such
subject matter.

                                 AMENDMENT NO. 1
                                       TO
               AMENDED AND RESTATED REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AMENDED AND RESTATED REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT,
dated as of April 19, 2002 (this "Amendment"), amends that certain Amended and
                                  ---------
Restated Registration Rights Agreement dated as of October 2, 2001 (the
"Registration Rights Agreement"), among Fresh Enterprises, Inc., a California
 -----------------------------
corporation (the "Company"), and the entities and individuals listed on Schedule
                  -------
A to the Registration Rights Agreement (collectively, the "Purchasers"), and is
                                                           ----------
made and entered into with reference to the following facts (all capitalized
terms not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings assigned to them
in the Registration Rights Agreement):

     WHEREAS, the Registration Rights Agreement provides that demand
registration and priority demand registration rights may be exercised upon the
earlier to occur of (i) the last day of the third Agreement Year or (ii) six (6)
months after the effective date of the initial public offering of any of the
Company's securities;

     WHEREAS, the Company and the undersigned Purchasers believe that the intent
of the parties to the Registration Rights Agreement was to provide for the
availability of demand registration and priority demand registration rights
beginning on the last day of the third Agreement Year measured from the date of
the original Registration Rights Agreement dated November 24, 1998;

     WHEREAS, the Company and the undersigned Purchasers have therefore
determined to amend the Registration Rights Agreement to redefine Agreement
Year;

     WHEREAS, Section 10(c) of the Registration Rights Agreement permits the
Company, with the written consent of the holders of at least 50% of the
outstanding Registrable Securities, to amend the Registration Rights Agreement,
and the Purchasers executing a counterpart hereof constitute the holders of more
than 50% of the outstanding Registrable Securities.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1.  Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement. The definition of
         ------------------------------------------
"Agreement Year" in Section 1 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

         "Agreement Year means each consecutive twelve-month period beginning
          --------------
         on November 24, 1998."

     2.  Jurisdiction and Integration. This Amendment shall be governed by and
         ----------------------------
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard
to the principles of conflicts of law of such state. This Amendment, together
with the Registration Rights Agreement, contains the entire understanding
between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes
any prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, among the
parties respecting such subject matter.

                                       1

     3. Binding Agreement; Counterparts. This Amendment shall be binding upon
        -------------------------------
the parties hereto, their successors, assigns and legal representatives. This
Amendment may be executed in several counterparts, all of which together shall
constitute one and the same agreement, binding on all of the parties,
notwithstanding that all of the parties are not signatories to the original or
same counterparts.

     4. Full Force and Effect. Except as expressly amended by this Amendment,
        ---------------------
the Registration Rights Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in
accordance with the provisions thereof. As used in the Registration Rights
Agreement, "hereinafter," "hereto," "hereof," and other words of similar import
shall, unless the context otherwise requires, mean the Registration Rights
Agreement as amended by this Amendment. In the event of any conflict or
inconsistency between the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights
Agreement and the terms and conditions of this Amendment, the terms and
conditions of this Amendment shall control.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the date
first written above.
