         4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE INVESTORS.

                  Each Investor, severally and not jointly, represents and
warrants to the Company as follows:

                  4.1 AUTHORIZATION. When executed and delivered by the
Investors, and assuming execution and delivery by the Company, this Agreement
will constitute a valid obligation of the Investors, enforceable in accordance
with its terms.

                  4.2 BROKERS AND FINDERS. The Investors have not retained any
investment banker, broker, or finder in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

                  4.3 INVESTMENT. This Agreement is made with each Investor in
reliance upon his or her representation to the Company, which by the Investor's
execution of this Agreement, each Investor hereby confirms, that the Shares to
be received by such Investor will be acquired for investment for Investor's own
account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the sale or
distribution of any part thereof, and that the Investors has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing
any of the Shares. By executing this

                                       8
<PAGE>

Agreement, each Investor further represents that he or she has no contract,
undertaking, agreement, or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer, or
grant participation to such person or to any third person, with respect to any
of the Shares.

                  4.4 NO PUBLIC MARKET. Each Investor understands and
acknowledges that the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement will not
be registered under the Securities Act on the grounds that the offering and sale
of securities contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from registration
pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or Section 3(b) of the Securities Act, and that the
Company's reliance upon such exemption is predicated upon Investor's
representations as set forth in this Agreement. Each Investor further
understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by
the Company and that the Company has given no assurances that a public market
will ever exist for the Company's securities.

                  4.5 LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY. Each Investor covenants
that in no event will it dispose of any of the Shares (other than pursuant to
Rule 144 promulgated by Commission under the Securities Act ("RULE 144") or any
similar or analogous rule) unless and until (a) such Investor shall have
notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the
Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed
disposition, and (b) if requested by the Company, the Investors shall have
furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and
substance to the Company and the Company's counsel to the effect that (x) such
disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act and (y)
appropriate action necessary for compliance with the Securities Act and any
applicable state, local, or foreign law has been taken. Notwithstanding the
limitations set forth in the foregoing sentence, if an Investor is a partnership
it may transfer Shares to its constituent partners or a retired partner of such
partnership who retires after the date hereof, or to the estate of any such
partner or retired partner or transfer by gift, will, or intestate succession to
any such partner's spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors without the
necessity of registration or opinion of counsel if the transferee agrees in
writing to be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent if such
transferee were an Investor; provided, however, that each Investor hereby
covenants not to effect such transfer if such transfer either would invalidate
the securities laws exemptions pursuant to which the Shares were originally
offered and sold or would itself require registration and/or qualification under
the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. Each certificate
evidencing the Shares transferred as above provided shall bear the appropriate
restrictive legend set forth in Section 0 below, except that such certificate
shall not bear such legend if the transfer was made in compliance with
subsection (k) of Rule 144 or if the opinion of counsel referred to above is to
the further effect that such legend is not required in order to establish
compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.

                  4.6 MARKET STANDOFF. Each Investor covenants that if so
requested by the Company or any representative of the underwriters in connection
with registration of the initial public offering of any securities of the
Company under the Act (the "IPO") and any subsequent public offering of such
securities that may occur within eighteen (18) months of the IPO, the Investor
shall not sell or otherwise transfer any Shares or other securities of the
Company during the 180 day period following the effective date of such

         BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN

         6. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS

                  6.1 NOTICE AND EFFECTIVE PERIOD. Subject to the terms of this
Agreement, in the event the Company decides to register under the Securities Act
any of its Common Stock (a "REGISTRATION"), the Company will (i) promptly give
each Investor written notice thereof and (ii) include in the Registration and in
any underwriting involved therein, that number of Conversion Shares specified in
a written request delivered to the Company by the undersigned within 15 days
after delivery of such written notice from the Company. These piggyback
registration rights shall not take effect until after the IPO. These piggyback
registration rights shall terminate with respect to each Investor at such time
the Investor is eligible to sell the Shares or Conversion Shares under Rule 144
of the Act within any three month period without volume limitations or under
Rule 144(k) thereunder.

                  6.2 INVESTOR INFORMATION. It shall be a condition precedent of
the Company's obligations under this Section 6 that the Investors shall furnish
to the Company such information regarding the undersigned and the distribution
proposed by the undersigned as the Company shall reasonably request.

                  6.3 UNDERWRITING.

                           (a) NOTICE OF UNDERWRITING IN PIGGYBACK
REGISTRATION. If the Registration of which the Company gives notice is for a
registered public offering involving an underwriting (other than the IPO),
the Company shall so advise each Investor as a part of the written notice
given pursuant to Section 6.1. In such event, the right of any Investor to be
included in the Registration shall be conditioned upon such underwriting and
the inclusion of such Investor's Conversion Shares in such underwriting to
the extent provided in this Section 6. All Investors proposing to distribute
their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company
and the other stockholders distributing their securities through such

                                       11
<PAGE>

underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriter's
representative for such offering. The Investors shall have no right to
participate in the selection of the underwriters for an offering pursuant to
this Section 6.

                           (b) MARKETING LIMITATION IN PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION.
If the underwriter's representative advises the Investors seeking registration
of Conversion Shares pursuant to this Section 6 in writing that market factors
(including, without limitation, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
requested to be registered, the general condition of the market, and the status
of the persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration)
require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the
underwriter's representative (subject to the allocation priority set forth in
Section 6.2(c)) may limit the number of shares of Conversion Shares to be
included in such Registration and underwriting to not less than 20% of the
securities included in such Registration.

                           (c) ALLOCATION OF SHARES IN PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION.
If the underwriter's representative limits the number of shares to be included
in a Registration pursuant to Section 6.2(b), the number of shares to be
included in such Registration shall be allocated (subject to Section 6.2(b)) in
the following manner. The shares (other than Conversion Shares) held by officers
or directors of the Company shall be excluded from such registration and
underwriting to the extent required by such limitation. If a limitation of the
number of shares is still required after such exclusion, the number of shares
that may be included in the Registration and underwriting by selling
stockholders shall be allocated among the Investors and all other selling
holders of the Company's securities requesting and legally entitled to include
securities in such Registration, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the
respective amounts of securities (including Conversion Shares) which such
Investors and such other holders would otherwise be entitled to include in such
Registration. No Conversion Shares or other securities excluded from the
underwriting by reason of this Section 6.2(c) shall be included in the
Registration.

                           (d) WITHDRAWAL IN PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION. If any
Investor disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such person may
elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the
underwriter's representative delivered at least seven days prior to the
effective date of the Registration. Any Conversion Shares or other securities
excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such
Registration.

                  6.4 EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All expenses (other than
underwriting discounts and commissions) incurred in connection with
Registrations shall be borne by the Company.

                  6.5 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES AND OBLIGATIONS. Whenever required
under this Agreement to effect the registration of any Conversion Shares, the
Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

                           (a) Use its reasonable efforts to cause the statement
filed with the Commission to effect the Registration (the "REGISTRATION
STATEMENT") to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a
majority of the Conversion Shares registered thereunder, keep such Registration
Statement effective for up to 120 days.

                                       12
<PAGE>

                           (b) Prepare and file with the Commission such
amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus
used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition
of all securities covered by such Registration Statement.

                           (c) Furnish to the Investors such numbers of copies
of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Conversion Shares
owned by them.

                           (d) Use its reasonable efforts to register and
qualify the securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other
securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably
requested by the Investors, provided that the Company shall not be required in
connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to
file a general consent to service of process in any such states or
jurisdictions, and provided further that in the event any jurisdiction in which
the securities shall be qualified imposes a non-waivable requirement that
expenses incurred in connection with the qualification of the securities be
borne by selling stockholders, such expenses shall be payable pro rata by
selling stockholders.

                           (e) In the event of any underwritten public offering,
enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual
and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each
Investor participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform
its obligations under such an agreement.

                           (f) Notify each Investor who holds Conversion Shares
covered by such Registration Statement at any time when a prospectus relating
thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of
any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
then existing.

         7. INDEMNIFICATION.

                  7.1 COMPANY'S INDEMNIFICATION OF INVESTORS. To the extent
permitted by law, the Company will indemnify each Investor, and each of its
officers, directors, and constituent partners, legal counsel for the Investors,
and each person controlling such Investor, with respect to which Registration,
qualification, or compliance of Conversion Shares has been effected pursuant to
this Agreement, against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, or actions in
respect thereof (collectively, "DAMAGES") to the extent such Damages arise out
of or are based upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a
material fact contained in any prospectus or other document (including any
related Registration Statement) incident to any such Registration,
qualification, or compliance, or are based on any omission (or alleged omission)
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of
any rule or regulation promulgated under the

                                       13
<PAGE>

Securities Act applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction
required of the Company in connection with any such Registration, qualification,
or compliance; and the Company will reimburse each such Investor and each person
who controls any such Investor for any legal and any other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss,
damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in
this Section 7.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such
Damages if settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld); and provided, further, that the
Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Damages
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission based upon
written information furnished to the Company by such Investor, or controlling
person and stated to be for use in connection with the offering of securities of
the Company and provided, further, that the Company's liability under this
Section 7.1 shall not exceed the Company's proceeds from the sale of Preferred
Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

                  7.2 INVESTORS' INDEMNIFICATION OF COMPANY. To the extent
permitted by law, each Investor will, if Conversion Shares held by such Investor
are included in the securities as to which such Registration, qualification or,
compliance is being effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify the Company,
each of its directors and officers, each legal counsel and independent
accountant of the Company, each person who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Securities Act, and each other such Investor, each of its
officers, directors, and constituent partners, and each person controlling such
other Investor, against all Damages arising out of or based upon any untrue
statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such
Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document, or any
omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or
any violation by such Investor of any rule or regulation promulgated under the
Securities Act applicable to such Investor and relating to action or inaction
required of such Investor in connection with any such Registration,
qualification, or compliance, and will reimburse the Company, such Investors,
such directors, officers, partners, persons, law and accounting firms, or
control persons for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage,
liability, or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that
such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged
omission) is made in such Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular,
or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by such Investor and stated to be specifically for use
in connection with the offering of securities of the Company, provided, however,
that the indemnity contained in this Section 7.2 shall not apply to amounts paid
in settlement of any such Damages if settlement is effected without the consent
of such Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and
provided, further, that each Investor's liability under this Section 7.2 shall
not exceed such Investor's proceeds from the offering of securities made in
connection with such Registration.

                  7.3 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE. Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any
action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against an indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the commencement thereof and generally

                                       14
<PAGE>

summarize such action. The indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate in and to assume the defense of such claim; provided, however, that
the indemnifying party shall be entitled to select counsel for the defense of
such claim with the approval of any parties entitled to indemnification, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, however, that if
either party reasonably determines that there may be a conflict between the
position of the Company and the Investors in conducting the defense of such
action, suit, or proceeding by reason of recognized claims for indemnity under
this Section 7, then counsel for such party shall be entitled to conduct the
defense to the extent reasonably determined by such counsel to be necessary to
protect the interest of such party. The failure to notify an indemnifying party
promptly of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to the ability
of the indemnifying party to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying
party, to the extent so prejudiced, of any liability to the indemnified party
under this Section 7, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will
not relieve such party of any liability that such party may have to any
indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7.

                  7.4 CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an
indemnified party with respect to any Damages referred to therein, then the
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified
party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted
in such Damages as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified
party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

                  7.5 CONFLICTS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the
underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public
offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the
underwriting agreement shall control.

                  7.6 SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS. The obligations of the Company
and Investors under this Section 7 shall survive the completion of any offering
of Conversion Shares in a registration statement under this Agreement or
otherwise.

         8. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARTHUR ROCK AND THE COMPANY

                  8.1 ADVISORY SERVICE TO THE COMPANY Arthur Rock, one of the

with respect to claims related to investment banking or finders' fees in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, arising out of
arrangements between the party asserting such claims and the indemnifying party,

     3.   SHARES AND OPTIONS.  The maximum number of Shares to be issued
pursuant to Options under this Plan shall be ONE MILLION THREE HUNDRED
THOUSAND (1,300,000) Shares.  Shares issued pursuant to Options granted under
this Plan may be issued from Shares held in the Company's treasury or from
authorized and unissued Shares.  If any Option granted under this Plan shall
terminate, expire or be canceled or surrendered as to any Shares, new Options
may thereafter be granted covering such Shares.  Any Option granted hereunder
shall be a Non-qualified Stock Option.

     4.   AUTOMATIC GRANT OF OPTIONS.  (a)  Options shall automatically be
granted to Directors as provided in this Section 4.  Each Option shall be
evidenced by an option agreement (an "Option Agreement") and shall contain
such terms as are not inconsistent with this Plan or any applicable law.  Any
person who files with the Committee, in a form satisfactory to the Committee,
a written waiver of eligibility to receive any Option under this Plan shall
not be eligible to receive any Option under this Plan for the duration of
such waiver.

     (b)  The Options automatically granted to Directors under this Section 4
shall be in addition to any other Options granted pursuant to this Plan,
regular director's fees and other benefits with respect to the Director's
position with the Company or its Subsidiaries.  Neither the Plan nor any
Option granted under the Plan shall confer upon any person any right to
continue to serve as a Director.

     (c)  Options shall be automatically granted as follows:

          (i)  Each Director who is an Eligible Person shall automatically
     receive an Option for THIRTY THOUSAND (30,000) Shares on the date such
     Eligible Person is initially appointed or elected a Director of the
     Company, and such Options shall vest as to TEN THOUSAND (10,000) Shares on
     each of the first three anniversaries of the Date of Grant;

                                       2

<PAGE>

          (ii)  Each Director who is an Eligible Person will receive, on the
     first business date after the date of each annual meeting of stockholders
     of the Company at which such Director is reelected to the Board of
     Directors of the Company, an option to purchase THIRTY THOUSAND (30,000)
     Shares, and such Option shall vest as to TEN THOUSAND (10,000) Shares on
     each of the first three anniversaries of the Date of Grant.

     (d)  Any Option that may be granted pursuant to subparagraph (c) of this
Section 4 prior to the approval of this Plan by the stockholders of the
Company may be exercised on or after the Date of Grant subject to the
approval of this Plan by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12)
months after the effective date of this Plan.  If any Optionee exercises an
Option prior to such stockholder approval, the Optionee must tender the
exercise price at the time of exercise and the Company shall hold the Shares
to be issued pursuant to such exercise until the stockholders approve this
Plan.  If this Plan is approved by the stockholders, the Company shall issue
and deliver the Shares as to which the Option has been exercised.  If this
Plan is not approved by the stockholders, the Company shall return the
exercise price to the Optionee.

     5.   DISCRETIONARY GRANT OF OPTIONS.  In addition to the Options
automatically granted under Section 4 of this Plan, the Committee may grant
Options at any time during the term of this Plan to any Eligible Person.
Subject only to the applicable limitations set forth in this Plan and
applicable law, the number of Shares to be covered by an Option shall be as
determined by the Committee.  Each Option granted pursuant to this Section 5
shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement and shall contain such terms as are
not inconsistent with this Plan or any applicable law.

     6.   OPTION PRICE.  The Option price per Share of any Option granted
pursuant to this Plan shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market
Value per Share on the Date of Grant.

     7.   EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.  Options may be exercised at any time after
the date on which the Options, or any portion thereof, are vested until the
Option expires pursuant to Section 8.  An Option shall be deemed exercised
when (i) the Company has received written notice of such exercise in
accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement, (ii) full payment of the
aggregate Option price of the Shares as to which the Option is exercised has
been made and (iii) arrangements that are satisfactory to the Committee in
its sole discretion have been made for the Optionee's payment to the Company
of the amount, if any, that the Committee determines to be necessary for the
Company to withhold in accordance with applicable federal or state income tax
withholding requirements. Pursuant to procedures approved by the Committee,
tax withholding requirements, at the option of an Optionee, may be met by
withholding Shares otherwise deliverable to the Optionee upon the exercise of
an Option.  Unless further limited by the Committee in any Option Agreement,
the Option price of any Shares purchased shall be paid solely in cash, by
certified or cashier's check, by money order, with Shares (but with Shares
only if permitted by the Option Agreement or otherwise permitted by the
Committee in its sole discretion at the time of exercise) or by a combination
of the above; provided, however, that the Committee in its sole discretion
may accept a personal check in full or partial payment of any Shares.  If the
exercise price is paid in whole or in part with Shares, the value of the
Shares surrendered shall be their Fair Market Value on the date the Shares
are received by the Company.

     8.   TERMINATION OF OPTION PERIOD.  The unexercised portion of an Option
shall automatically and without notice terminate and become null and void at
the time of the earliest to occur of the following:

     (a)  with respect to Options granted automatically pursuant to Section
4(c) and Section 5, thirty (30) days after the date that an Optionee ceases
to be a Director regardless of the reason therefor other than as a result of
such termination by death of the Optionee;

     (b)  with respect to Options granted automatically pursuant to Section
4(c), (y) one (1) year after the date than an Optionee ceases to be a
Director by reason of death of the Optionee or (z) six (6) months after the
Optionee shall die if that shall occur during the thirty-day period described
in Subsection 8(a); or

     (c)  the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Date of Grant of the Option.

     9.   ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.  (a)  If at any time while this Plan is in
effect or unexercised Options are outstanding, there shall be any increase or
decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares through the
declaration of a stock dividend or through any recapitalization resulting in
a stock split-up, combination or exchange of Shares, then and in such event:

          (i)  appropriate adjustment shall be made in the maximum number of
     Shares then subject to being optioned under this Plan, so that the same
     proportion of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares shall continue to
     be subject to being so optioned; and

          (ii) appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of Shares and
     the exercise price per Share thereof then subject to any outstanding
     Option, so that the same proportion of the Company's issued and outstanding
     Shares shall remain subject to purchase at the same aggregate exercise
     price.

     In addition, the Committee shall make such adjustments in the Option
price and the number of shares covered by outstanding Options that are
required to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of the holders of
such Options that would otherwise result from any reorganization,
recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger,
consolidation, issuance of rights, spin-off or any other change in capital
structure of the Company.

     (b)  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the issuance by the
Company of shares of its capital stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of capital stock of any class, either in connection
with a 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 number of or
exercise price of Shares then subject to outstanding Options granted under
this Plan.

     (c)  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the existence of
outstanding Options granted under this Plan shall not affect in any manner
the right or power of the Company to make, authorize or consummate (i) any or
all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other

                                       4

<PAGE>

changes in the Company's capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger
or consolidation of the Company; (iii) any issue by the Company of debt
securities, or preferred or preference stock that would rank above the Shares
subject to outstanding Options; (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company; (v) any sale, transfer or assignment of all or any part of the
assets or business of the Company; or (vi) any other corporate act or
proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

     10.  TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.  Each Option Agreement shall provide
that such Option shall not be transferable by the Optionee other than by will
or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order and that, so long as an Optionee lives, only such Optionee or
his guardian or legal representative shall have the right to exercise the
related Option.

     11.  ISSUANCE OF SHARES.  No person shall be, or have any of the rights
or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any of the
Shares subject to an Option unless and until certificates representing such
Shares shall have been issued and delivered to such person.  As a condition
of any transfer of the certificate for Shares, the Committee may obtain such
agreements or undertakings, if any, as it may deem necessary or advisable to
assure compliance with any provision of this Plan, any Option Agreement or
any law or regulation, including, but not limited to, the following:

          (i)  A representation, warranty or agreement by the Optionee to the
     Company, at the time any Option is exercised, that he is acquiring the
     Shares to be issued to him or her for investment and not with a view to, or
     for sale in connection with, the distribution of such Shares; and

          (ii)  A representation, warranty or agreement to be bound by any
     legends that are, in the opinion of the Committee, necessary or appropriate
     to comply with the provisions of any securities law deemed by the Committee
     to be applicable to the issuance of the Shares and are endorsed upon the
     Share certificates.

     Share certificates issued to an Optionee who is a party to any
stockholder agreement or a similar agreement shall bear the legends contained
in such agreements.

     12.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.  (a)  This Plan shall be administered
by a stock option committee (the "Committee") consisting of not fewer than
two (2) members of the Board; provided, however, that if no Committee is
appointed, the Board shall administer this Plan and in such case all
references to the Committee shall be deemed to be references to the Board.
The Committee shall have all of the powers of the Board with respect to this
Plan.  Any member of the Committee may be removed at any time, with or
without cause, by resolution of the Board, and any vacancy occurring in the
membership of the Committee may be filled by appointment by the Board.

     (b)  The Committee, from time to time, may adopt rules and regulations
for carrying out the purposes of this Plan.  The determinations and the
interpretation and construction of any provision of this Plan by the
Committee shall be final and conclusive.

                                       5

<PAGE>

     (c)  Any and all decisions or determinations of the Committee shall be
made either (i) by a majority vote of the members of the Committee at a
meeting or (ii) without a meeting by the written approval of a majority of
the members of the Committee.

     (d)  This Plan is intended and has been drafted to comply with Rule
16b-3, as amended, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  If
any provision of this Plan does not comply with Rule 16b-3, as amended, this
Plan shall be automatically amended to comply with Rule 16b-3, as amended.

     13.  INTERPRETATION.  (a)  If any provision of this Plan is held invalid
for any reason, such holding shall not affect the remaining provisions
hereof, but instead this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such
provision had never been included in this Plan.

     (b)  THIS PLAN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUPERSEDED BY THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OR THE
PROPERTY LAWS OF ANY STATE.

     (c)  Headings contained in this Plan are for convenience only and shall
in no manner be construed as part of this Plan.

     (d)  Any reference to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall be
a reference to such other gender as is appropriate.

     14.  SECTION 83(b) ELECTION.  If as a result of exercising an Option an
Optionee receives Shares that are subject to a "substantial risk of
forfeiture" and are not "transferable" as those terms are defined for
purposes of Section 83(a) of the Code, then such Optionee may elect under
Section 83(b) of the Code to include in his gross income, for his taxable
year in which the Shares are transferred to such Optionee, the excess of the
Fair Market Value of such Shares at the time of transfer (determined without
regard to any restriction other than one which by its terms will never
lapse), over the amount paid for the Shares. If the Optionee makes the
Section 83(b) election described above, the Optionee shall (i) make such
election in a manner that is satisfactory to the Committee, (ii) provide the
Company with a copy of such election, (iii) agree to promptly notify the
Company if any Internal Revenue Service or state tax agent, on audit or
otherwise, questions the validity or correctness of such election or of the
amount of income reportable on account of such election, and (iv) agree to
such withholding as the Committee may reasonably require in its sole and
absolute discretion.

     15.  EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION DATE.  This Plan is adopted as of
July 10, 1996, but shall become effective upon effectiveness of the Company's
Form 10 Registration Statement filed under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.  The effective date of any amendment to the Plan is the
date on which the Board adopted such amendment; provided, however, if this
Plan is not approved by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12)
months after the effective date, then, in such event, this Plan and all
Options granted pursuant to this Plan shall be null and void.  This Plan
shall terminate on July 10, 2006, and any Option outstanding on such date
will remain outstanding until it has either expired or has been exercised.
