shall be returned to the Participant.

deemed interruptions of continuous employment.

7.05.  Delivery of Stock.
       -----------------

     Subject to the provisions of Articles IX and XI, as promptly as possible
following the date that such shares become transferable, the Company will
deliver certificates evidencing the Common Stock purchased upon the

     Participant's interest in the Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of
his Option shall be immediately nonforfeitable and, subject to the provisions of

8.01.  Generally.
       ---------

     A Participant may withdraw the payroll deductions credited to his account
under the Plan by giving written notice to that effect to the Administrator at
least thirty days prior to the next Date of Exercise.  In that event, all of the
payroll deductions credited to his account will be paid to him promptly after
receipt of his notice of withdrawal and no further payroll deductions will be
made from his Compensation until he submits a new Election Form to the
Administrator.  A Participant shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from
the Plan in accordance with this Section 8.01 if he ceases to be an Employee.

                                      -7-

       ------------------------

     A Participant who has withdrawn his account under Section 8.01 may submit a
new Election Form to the Administrator and resume participation in the Plan as
of any subsequent Date of Grant, provided that the Administrator receives his
Election Form before the applicable Election Date.

8.03.  Termination of Employment.
       -------------------------

     If a Participant's employment with the Company and its Affiliates
terminates for any reason other than death, his participation in the Plan shall
cease as of the date of termination.  The balance credited to the Participant's
account as of the first day of the month following such termination of
employment shall be paid to the Participant or, in the case of the Participant's
death following his termination of employment, to his Beneficiary, as promptly
as possible thereafter.

8.04.  Death of Participant.
       --------------------

     If a Participant's employment with the Company and its Affiliates
terminates on account of the Participant's death, his Beneficiary may elect, by
written notice received by the Administrator within thirty days of the
Participant's death (but in all events before the Date of Exercise), to either
(i) withdraw all of the payroll deductions credited to the Participant's account
or (ii) to exercise the Option as of the Date of Exercise and receive whole
shares of Common Stock and cash representing the value of a fractional share in
accordance with Section 5.02.  If the Option is exercised, the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable to the Beneficiary shall be determined by dividing the
option price into the payroll deductions credited to the Participant's account.
If timely written notice of the Beneficiary's election is not received by the
Administrator, the Beneficiary shall be deemed to have elected to exercise the
Option.

                                   ARTICLE IX

9.03.  Reallocation of Shares.
       ----------------------

     If an Option is terminated, in whole or in part, for any reason other than
its exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock allocated to the Option or
portion thereof may be reallocated to other Options to be granted under this
Plan.

                                   ARTICLE X
                     ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGE IN COMMON STOCK

effects one or more stock dividends, stock split-ups, subdivisions or
consolidations of shares or (ii) engages in a transaction to which Section 424
of the Code applies or (b) there occurs any other event which, in the judgment

Article X by the Committee shall be final and conclusive.

     The issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or property, or for
labor or services, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or
warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of
the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect,
and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the maximum
number of shares as to which Options may be granted or the terms of outstanding
Options.

                         APPROVAL OF REGULATORY BODIES

     No Option shall be exercisable, no Common Stock shall be issued, no
certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, and no payment shall
be made under this Plan except in compliance with all applicable federal

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

and state laws and regulations (including, without limitation, withholding tax
requirements), any listing agreement to which the Company is a party, and the
rules of all domestic stock exchanges on which the Company's shares may be
listed. The Company shall have the right to rely on an opinion of its counsel as
to such compliance. Any share certificate issued to evidence Common Stock for
which an Option is exercised may bear such legends and statements as the
Administrator may deem advisable to assure compliance with federal and state
laws and regulations. No Option shall be exercisable, no Common Stock shall be
issued, no certificate for shares shall be delivered, and no payment shall be
made under this Plan until the Company has obtained such consent or approval as
the Administrator may deem advisable from regulatory bodies having jurisdiction
over such matters.

or an award of Performance Shares. Notwithstanding any such conditions, the
Administrator may, in its discretion, (i) accelerate the time at which any
Option may be exercised, or the time at which a Stock Award may become
transferable or nonforfeitable, or the time at which an award of Performance
Shares may be settled, including without limitation, providing for any of the
foregoing upon a Change in Control, or (ii) suspend the forfeiture of any award
made under this Plan. In addition, the Administrator shall have complete
authority to interpret all provisions of this Plan; to prescribe the form of
Agreements; to adopt, amend, and rescind rules and regulations pertaining to the

the Company all or part of the Committee's authority and duties with respect to
grants and awards to individuals who are not subject to the reporting and other
provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The Committee may revoke or amend
the terms of a delegation at any time but such action shall not invalidate any
prior actions of the Committee's delegate or delegates that were consistent with
the terms of the Plan.

       Upon the award of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Award or in settlement

authorized but unissued Common Stock. Upon the exercise of any Option or an
option granted by an Affiliate of the Company if the Company has assumed the
obligations of the Affiliate under those options, the Company may deliver to the
Participant (or the Participant's broker if the Participant so directs), shares
of Common Stock from its authorized but unissued Common Stock.

5.02.  Aggregate Limit
       ---------------

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

       The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued
under this Plan as of the date it is adopted by the Board is 12,000,000 shares.
That maximum number of shares will be increased each January 1 during the term
of the Plan by a number of shares equal to 1.0% of the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on the preceding December 31. In no event, however, may
the annual increases cause the maximum number of shares that may be issued under
the Plan to exceed 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The maximum aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under this Plan shall be
subject to adjustment as provided in Article IX.

5.03.  Reallocation of Shares
       ----------------------

       If an Option or an option granted by an Affiliate as to which the Company
has assumed the Affiliate's obligation to deliver Common Stock is terminated, in
whole or in part, for any reason other than its exercise the number of shares
allocated to the Option, option, or portion thereof may be reallocated to other
Options, Performance Shares, and Stock Awards to be granted under this Plan. If
an award of Performance Shares is terminated, in whole or in part, for any
reason other than its settlement with shares of Common Stock, the number of
shares allocated to the Performance Share award or portion thereof may be
reallocated to other Options, Performance Shares and Stock Awards to be granted
under this Plan. If a Stock Award is forfeited, in whole or in part, for any
reason, the number of shares of Common Stock allocated to the Stock Award or
portion thereof may be reallocated to other Options, Performance Shares, and
Stock Awards to be granted under this Plan.

                                  ARTICLE VI
                                    OPTIONS
                                    -------

6.01.  Award
       -----

       In accordance with the provisions of Article IV, the Administrator will
designate each individual to whom an Option is to be granted and will specify
the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such awards; provided, however,
that no Participant may be granted Options in any calendar year covering more
than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

6.02.  Option Price
       ------------

       The price per share for shares of Common Stock purchased on the exercise
of an Option shall be determined by the Administrator on the date of grant, but
shall not be less than the Fair

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

Market Value on the date the Option is granted in the case of an Option intended
to qualify as an incentive stock option.

6.03.  Maximum Option Period
       ---------------------

       The maximum period in which an Option may be exercised shall be
determined by the Administrator on the date of grant, except that no Option that
is an incentive stock option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten
years from the date such Option was granted. The terms of any Option that is an
incentive stock option may provide that it is exercisable for a period less than
such maximum period.

6.04.  Nontransferability
       ------------------

       Except as provided in Section 6.05, each Option granted under this Plan
shall be nontransferable except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution. In the event of any transfer of an Option (by the Participant or
his transferee), the Option must be transferred to the same person or persons or
entity or entities. Except as provided in Section 6.05, during the lifetime of
the Participant to whom the Option is granted, the Option may be exercised only
by the Participant. No right or interest of a Participant in any Option shall be
liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation, or liability of such
Participant.

6.05.  Transferable Options
       --------------------

       Section 6.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Agreement provides,
an Option that is not an incentive stock option may be transferred by a
Participant to the Participant's spouse, children or grandchildren, to trusts
for the benefit of such persons, or to a partnership in which those persons are
the only partners, or to such other persons or entities permitted under Rule
16b-3 as in effect from time to time on such terms and conditions as may be
permitted under Rule 16b-3, as in effect from time to time. The holder of an
Option transferred pursuant to this Section shall be bound by the same terms and
conditions that governed the Option during the period that it was held by the
Participant; provided, however, that such transferee may not transfer the Option
except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

6.06.  Status as Employee or Service Provider
       --------------------------------------

       For purposes of determining the applicability of Section 422 of the Code
(relating to incentive stock options), or in the event that the terms of any
Option provide that it may be exercised only during employment or service or
within a specified period of time after termination of employment or service,
the Administrator may decide to what extent leaves of absence for governmental
or military service, illness, temporary disability, or other reasons shall not
be deemed interruptions of continuous employment or service.

                                      -11-

6.07.  Exercise
       --------

       Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the applicable Agreement, an
Option may be exercised in whole at any time or in part from time to time at
such times and in compliance with such requirements as the Administrator shall
determine; provided, however, that incentive stock options (granted under the
Plan and all plans of the Company and its Affiliates) may not be first
exercisable in a calendar year for shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market
Value (determined as of the date an Option is granted) exceeding $100,000. An
Option granted under this Plan may be exercised with respect to any number of
whole shares less than the full number for which the Option could be exercised.
A partial exercise of an Option shall not affect the right to exercise the
Option from time to time in accordance with this Plan and the applicable
Agreement with respect to the remaining shares subject to the Option.

6.08.  Payment
       -------

       Subject to rules established by the Administrator and unless otherwise
provided in an Agreement, payment of all or part of the Option price may be made
in cash (including cash paid by a broker pursuant to a Participant's
instructions to sell shares subject to the Option and deliver the exercise
price), a cash equivalent acceptable to the Administrator, or with shares of
Common Stock. If shares of Common Stock are used to pay all or part of the
Option price, the sum of the cash and cash equivalent and the Fair Market Value
(determined as of the day preceding the date of exercise) of the shares
surrendered must not be less than the Option price of the shares for which the
Option is being exercised.

6.09.  Shareholder Rights
       ------------------

       No Participant shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to
shares subject to his Option until the date of exercise of such Option.

6.10.  Disposition of Shares
       ---------------------

       A Participant shall notify the Company of any sale or other disposition
of shares acquired pursuant to an Option that was an incentive stock option if
such sale or disposition occurs (i) within two years of the grant of an Option
or (ii) within one year of the issuance of shares to the Participant. Such
notice shall be in writing and directed to the Secretary of the Company.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                           PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS
                           ------------------------

7.01.  Award
       -----

       In accordance with the provisions of Article IV, the Administrator will
designate each individual to whom an award of Performance Shares is to be made
and will specify the number of shares covered by such awards; provided, however,
that no Participant may receive an award of Performance Shares in any calendar
year for more than 500,000 shares of Common Stock.

7.02.  Earning the Award
       -----------------

       The Administrator, on the date of the grant of an award, shall prescribe
that the Performance Shares, or portion thereof, will be earned, and the
Participant will be entitled to receive payment pursuant to the award of
Performance Shares, only upon the satisfaction by the Company, an Affiliate or
the Participant of performance objectives and such other criteria as may be
prescribed by the Administrator for the performance measurement period. The
performance objectives may be based on Fair Market Value, Common Stock price
appreciation, gross revenues, operating profit, or net earnings before or after
taxes, return on equity, earnings per share, total earnings, earnings growth,
return on capital, return on assets, return on sales, cash flow per share, book
value per share, market share, economic value added, market value added,
productivity, level of expenses, new product development, peer group comparisons
of any of the foregoing, or other measures as the Administrator may select. No
payments will be made with respect to Performance Shares unless, and then only
to the extent that, the Administrator certifies that such objectives have been
achieved.

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

7.03.  Payment
       -------

       In the discretion of the Administrator, the amount payable when an award
of Performance Shares is earned may be settled in cash, by the issuance of
shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof.

7.04.  Shareholder Rights
       ------------------

       No Participant shall, as a result of receiving an award of Performance
Shares, have any rights as a shareholder until (and then only to the extent
that) the award of Performance Shares is earned and settled in shares of Common
Stock. After an award of Performance Shares is earned and settled in shares, a
Participant will have all the rights of a shareholder as described in Section
8.05.

7.05.  Nontransferability
       ------------------

       Except as provided in Section 7.06, Performance Shares granted under this
Plan shall be nontransferable except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution. No right or interest of a Participant in any Performance Shares
shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation, or liability of such
Participant.

7.06.  Transferable Performance Shares
       -------------------------------

       Section 7.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Agreement provides,
an award of Performance Shares may be transferred by a Participant to the
Participant's spouse, children or grandchildren, to trusts for the benefit of
such persons, to a partnership in which such persons are the only partners, or
to such other persons or entities permitted under Rule 16b-3 as in effect from
time to time on such terms and conditions as may be permitted under Rule 16b-3
as in effect from time to time. The holder of Performance Shares transferred
pursuant to this Section shall be bound by the same terms and conditions that
governed the Performance Shares during the period that they were held by the
Participant; provided, however that such transferee may not transfer Performance
Shares except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

7.07.  Status as Employee or Service Provider
       --------------------------------------

       In the event that the terms of any Performance Share award provide that
no payment will be made unless the Participant completes a stated period of
employment or service, the Administrator may decide to what extent leaves of
absence for government or military service, illness, temporary disability, or
other reasons shall not be deemed interruptions of continuous employment or
service.

                                 STOCK AWARDS
                                 ------------

8.01.  Award
       -----

       In accordance with the provisions of Article IV, the Administrator will
designate each individual to whom a Stock Award is to be made and will specify
the number of shares covered by such awards; provided, however, that no
Participant may receive Stock Awards in any calendar year for more than 500,000
shares.

8.02.  Vesting
       -------

       The Administrator, on the date of the award, may prescribe that a
Participant's rights in a Stock Award shall be forfeitable or otherwise
restricted for a period of time or subject to such conditions as may be set
forth in the Agreement.

8.03.  Performance Objectives
       ----------------------

       In accordance with Section 8.02, the Administrator may prescribe that
Stock Awards will become vested or transferable or both based on objectives
stated with respect to the Participant's continued employment or service with
the Company or an Affiliate for a specified period, or the Company's, an
Affiliate's, or the Participant's achievement of performance related objectives
such as those measured by Fair Market Value, Common Stock stock price
appreciation, gross, operating, or net earnings before or after taxes, return on
equity, earnings per share, total earnings, earnings growth, return on capital,
return on assets, return on sales, cash flow per share, book value per share,
market share, economic value added, market value added, productivity, level of
expenses, new product development, peer group comparisons of any of the
foregoing, or other measures the Administrator may select. If the Administrator,
on the date of award, prescribes that a Stock Award shall become nonforfeitable
and transferable only upon the attainment of performance objectives, the shares
subject to such Stock Award shall become nonforfeitable and transferable only to
the extent that the Administrator certifies that such objectives have been
achieved.

8.04.  Status as Employee or Service Provider
       --------------------------------------

       In the event that the terms of any Stock Award provide that shares may
become transferable and nonforfeitable thereunder only after completion of a
specified period of employment or service, the Administrator may decide in each
case to what extent leaves of

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

absence for governmental or military service, illness, temporary disability, or
other reasons shall not be deemed interruptions of continuous employment or
service.

8.05.  Shareholder Rights
       ------------------

       Prior to their forfeiture (in accordance with the applicable Agreement
and while the shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to the Stock Award may be
forfeited or are nontransferable), a Participant will have all rights of a
shareholder with respect to a Stock Award, including the right to receive
dividends and vote the shares; provided, however, that during such period (i) a
Participant may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate, or otherwise
dispose of shares granted pursuant to a Stock Award, (ii) the Company shall
retain custody of the certificates evidencing shares granted pursuant to a Stock
Award, and (iii) the Participant will deliver to the Company a stock power,
endorsed in blank, with respect to each Stock Award. The limitations set forth
in the preceding sentence shall not apply after the shares granted under the
Stock Award are transferable and are no longer forfeitable.

                                  ARTICLE IX
                    ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGE IN COMMON STOCK
                    --------------------------------------

       The maximum number of shares as to which Options, Performance Shares, and
Stock Awards may be granted pursuant to this Plan; the terms of outstanding
Stock Awards, Options, and Performance Shares; and the per individual
limitations on the number of shares of Common Stock for which Options,
Performance Shares, and Stock Awards may be granted shall be adjusted as the
Committee shall determine to be equitably required in the event that (i) the
Company (a) effects one or more stock dividends, stock split-ups, subdivisions
or consolidations of shares or (b) engages in a transaction to which Section 424
of the Code applies or, (ii) there occurs any other event which, in the judgment
of the Committee necessitates such action. Any determination made under this
Article IX by the Committee shall be final and conclusive.

       The issuance by the Company of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into stock of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or
services, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to
subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of stock or obligations of the Company
convertible into such stock or other securities, shall not affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the maximum number
of shares as to which Options, Performance Shares, and Stock Awards may be
granted; the per individual limitations on the number of shares for which
Options, Performance Shares, and Stock Awards may be granted; or the terms of
outstanding Stock Awards, Options, or Performance Shares.

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

       The Board or Committee may make Stock Awards and may grant Options and
Performance Shares in substitution for performance shares, phantom shares, stock
awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, or similar awards held by an
individual who becomes an employee or service provider of the Company or an
Affiliate in connection with a transaction described in the first paragraph of
this Article IX. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan (other than the
limitation of Section 5.02), the terms of such substituted Stock Awards, Option
or Performance Shares shall be as the Board or Committee, in its discretion,
determines is appropriate.

                                   ARTICLE X
                      COMPLIANCE WITH LAW AND APPROVAL OF
                               REGULATORY BODIES
                               -----------------

       No Option shall be exercisable, no shares of Common Stock shall be
issued, no certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, and no
payment shall be made under this Plan except in compliance with all applicable
federal and state laws and regulations (including, without limitation,
withholding tax requirements), any listing agreement to which the Company is a
party, and the rules of all domestic stock exchanges on which the Company's
shares may be listed. The Company shall have the right to rely on an opinion of
its counsel as to such compliance. Any stock certificate issued to evidence
shares of Common Stock when a Stock Award is granted, Performance Share is
settled or for which an Option is exercised may bear such legends and statements
as the Administrator may deem advisable to assure compliance with federal and
state laws and regulations. No Option shall be exercisable, no Stock Award or
Performance Share shall be granted, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued,
no certificate for shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, and no payment
shall be made under this Plan until the Company has obtained such consent or
approval as the Administrator may deem advisable from regulatory bodies having
jurisdiction over such matters.

11.01. Effect on Employment and Service
       --------------------------------

       Neither the adoption of this Plan, its operation, nor any documents
describing or referring to this Plan (or any part thereof), shall confer upon
any individual any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or
an Affiliate or in any way affect any right and power of the Company or an
Affiliate to terminate the employment or service of any individual at any time
with or without assigning a reason therefor.

11.02. Unfunded Plan
       -------------

       The Plan, insofar as it provides for grants, shall be unfunded, and the
Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be
represented by grants under this Plan. Any liability of the Company to any
person with respect to any grant under this Plan shall be based solely upon any
contractual obligations that may be created pursuant to this Plan. No such
obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or
other encumbrance on, any property of the Company.

11.03. Rules of Construction
       ---------------------

       Headings are given to the articles and sections of this Plan solely as a
convenience to facilitate reference. The reference to any statute, regulation,

successor of such provision of law.

                                  ARTICLE XII

                                   ---------

       The Board may amend or terminate this Plan from time to time; provided,
however, that no amendment may become effective until shareholder approval is
obtained if the amendment increases the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock that may be issued under the Plan. No amendment shall, without a
Participant's consent, adversely affect any rights of such Participant under any
Stock Award, Option, or Performance Share outstanding at the time such amendment
is made.

months before or after this Plan is adopted by the Board, no Option shall be
exercisable, no Performance Share shall be settled, and no Stock Award shall be
