                        1998 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

      This Amendment to the Comfort Systems USA, Inc. (the "Company") 1998
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Amendment") is executed pursuant to Section
8.1 of the Company's 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan"). All
capitalized and undefined terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to
such terms in the Plan.

      WHEREAS, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") is authorized by
Section 8.1 of the Plan to amend the Plan from time to time, subject to any
required stockholder approval of any such amendments; and

      WHEREAS, at a meeting of the Board on March 3, 2000 the Board authorized
an increase in the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Purchase
Plan by 600,000; and

      WHEREAS, at the annual meeting of stockholders held on May 18, 2000, the
Company's stockholders approved the Amendment.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in order to amend Section 4.1 of the Purchase Plan as
authorized by the Board and approved by the stockholders:

      1. The first sentence of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Plan is hereby
revised in its entirety to read as follows:

            of Nine Hundred Thousand (900,000) shares of Common Stock shall be
            available for purchase by Participants pursuant to the provisions of
            the Plan."

      2. Except as amended hereby, the terms and provisions of the Plan shall
remain in full force and effect, and the Plan and this Amendment shall be read,
taken and construed as one and the same instrument.

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and as conclusive evidence of the adoption of
the foregoing Amendment to the Plan by the directors of the Company and approval
and adoption thereof by the stockholders of the Company, the Company has caused
this Amendment to be duly executed in its name and behalf by its proper officers
thereunto duly authorized as of the 20th day of May, 2000.

                                    COMFORT SYSTEMS USA, INC.

                                           SENIOR VICE PRESIDENTEXHIBIT 10.7

                            COMFORT SYSTEMS USA, INC.
                               2000 INCENTIVE PLAN

1.    PURPOSE

      The purpose of this Incentive Plan (the "Plan") is to advance the
interests of Comfort Systems USA, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries by
enhancing their ability to attract and retain employees and other persons or
entities who are in a position to make significant contributions to the success
of the Company and its subsidiaries through ownership of shares of the common
stock, no par value per share (the "Stock"), of the Company and cash incentives.

      The Plan is intended to accomplish these goals by enabling the Company to
grant awards in the form of Options, Restricted Stock Awards, or Performance
Awards (each as defined below), or combinations thereof (each, an "Award"), as
more fully described below.

2.    ADMINISTRATION

      The Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company
(the "Board"). The Board will have authority, not inconsistent with the express
provisions of the Plan and in addition to other authority granted under the
Plan, to (a) grant Awards at such time or times as it may choose; (b) determine
the size of each Award, including the number of shares of Stock, if any, subject
to the Award; (c) determine the type or types of each Award; (d) determine the
terms and conditions of each Award; (e) waive compliance by a holder of an Award
with any obligations to be performed by such holder under an Award and waive any
terms or conditions of an Award; (f) amend or cancel an existing Award in whole
or in part (and if an Award is canceled, grant another Award in its place on
such terms and conditions as the Board shall specify), except that the Board may
not, without the consent of the holder of an Award, take any action under this
clause with respect to such Award if such action would adversely affect the
rights of such holder; (g) prescribe the form or forms of instruments that are
required or deemed appropriate under the Plan, including any written notices and
elections required of Participants (as defined below), and change such forms
from time to time; (h) adopt, amend and rescind rules and regulations for the
administration of the Plan; and (i) interpret the Plan and decide any questions
and settle all controversies and disputes that may arise in connection with the
Plan. Such determinations and actions of the Board, and all other determinations
and actions of the Board made or taken under authority granted by any provision
of the Plan, will be conclusive and will bind all parties. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed as limiting the power of the Board to make
adjustments under Section 7.2 or Section 8.6.

                                       1
<PAGE>
      The Board may, in its discretion, delegate some or all of its powers with
respect to the Plan to a committee (the "Committee"), in which event all
references (as appropriate) to the Board hereunder shall be deemed to refer to
the Committee. The Committee, if one is appointed, shall consist of at least two
directors. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum,
and all determinations of the Committee shall be made by a majority of its
members. On and after registration of the Stock under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"), the Board shall delegate the power to select
directors and officers to receive awards under the Plan and the timing, pricing,
and amount of such awards to a committee, all members of which shall be
disinterested persons within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the 1934 Act and
"outside directors" within the meaning of section 162(m)(4)(c)(i) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

3.    EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN

      The Plan will become effective on the date on which it is approved by the
stockholders of the Company. Awards may be made prior to such stockholder
approval (but after Board adoption of the Plan) if made subject thereto. No
Award may be granted under the Plan after April 16, 2010, but Awards previously
granted may extend beyond that date.

4.    SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

      Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8.6, the aggregate number of
shares of Stock that may be delivered pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan
shall not exceed 3,500,000. If any Award is forfeited or otherwise terminated
without the delivery of Stock, shares of Stock are surrendered or withheld from
any Award to satisfy any income tax withholding obligations, or if any Award
payable in Stock or cash is satisfied in cash rather than Stock, then the number
of shares of Stock covered by such terminated or forfeited Award or which are
equal to the number of shares surrendered, withheld or terminated or for which
cash was substituted will be available for future grants under this Plan.

      Subject to Section 8.6(a), the maximum number of shares of Stock as to
which Options may be granted to any Participant in any one calendar year is
1,000,000, which limitation shall be construed and applied consistently with the
rules under Section 162(m) of the Code.

      Stock delivered under the Plan may be either authorized but unissued Stock
or previously issued Stock acquired by the Company and held in treasury. No
fractional shares of Stock will be delivered under the Plan.

                                       2

5.    ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

      Each key employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (an
"Employee") and each other person or entity (including without limitation
non-Employee directors of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company) who, in
the opinion of the Board, is in a position to make a significant contribution to
the success of the Company or its subsidiaries, will be eligible to receive
Awards under the Plan (each such Employee, person or entity receiving an Award,
"a Participant"). A "subsidiary" for purposes of the Plan shall mean a
corporation in which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, stock possessing
50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock.

6.    TYPES OF AWARDS

      6.1. OPTIONS

      (A) NATURE OF OPTIONS. The Board may grant Awards giving the recipient the
right on exercise thereof to purchase Stock (each, an "Option").

      Both "incentive stock options," as defined in Section 422(b) of the Code
(any Option intended to qualify as an incentive stock option under the Code
being hereinafter referred to as an "ISO"), and Options that are not ISOs, may
be granted under the Plan. ISOs shall be awarded only to Employees. An Option
awarded under the Plan shall be a non-ISO unless it is expressly designated as
an ISO at time of grant.

      (B) EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price of an Option will be determined by
the Board subject to the following:

            (i) The exercise price of an ISO or an Option intended to qualify as
      performance based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code shall not
      be less than 100% (110% in the case of an ISO granted to a ten-percent
      stockholder) of the fair market value of the Stock subject to the Option,
      determined as of the time the Option is granted. For this purpose, "fair
      market value" in the case of ISOs shall have the same meaning as it does
      in the provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder applicable to
      ISOs; and "ten-percent stockholder" shall mean any participant who at the
      time of grant owns directly, or by reason of the attribution rules set
      forth in Section 424(d) of the Code is deemed to own, stock possessing
      more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock
      of the Company or of any of its parent or subsidiary corporations.

            (ii) In no case may the exercise price paid for Stock which is part
      of an original issue of authorized Stock be less than the par value per
      share of the Stock.

      (C) DURATION OF OPTIONS. The latest date on which an Option may be
exercised will be the tenth anniversary (the fifth anniversary in the case of an
ISO granted to a ten-percent stockholder

                                       3
<PAGE>
as defined in 6.1(b) above) of the day immediately preceding the date the Option
was granted, or such earlier date as may have been specified by the Board at the
time the Option was granted.

      (D) EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. An Option will become exercisable at such time or
times, and on such conditions, as the Board may specify. The Board may at any
time and from time to time accelerate the time at which all or any part of an
Option may be exercised. Any exercise of an Option must be in writing, signed by
the proper person and delivered or mailed to the Company, accompanied by (1) any
documents required by the Board and (2) payment in full in accordance with
paragraph (e) below for the number of shares for which the Option is exercised.

      (E) PAYMENT FOR STOCK. Stock purchased on exercise of an Option must be
paid for as follows: (1) in cash or by check (acceptable to the Company in
accordance with guidelines established for this purpose), bank draft or money
order payable to the order of the Company or (2) if so permitted by the Board at
or after the grant of the Option or by the instrument evidencing the Option, (i)
through the delivery of shares of Stock which have been held for at least six
months (unless the Board approves a shorter period) and which have a fair market
value equal to the exercise price, (ii) by delivery of an unconditional and
irrevocable undertaking by a broker to deliver promptly to the Company
sufficient funds to pay the exercise price, or (iii) by any combination of the
foregoing permissible forms of payment.

      (F) DISCRETIONARY PAYMENTS. If (i) the fair market value as reasonably
determined by the Board of shares of Stock subject to an Option exceeds the
exercise price of the Option at the time of its exercise and (ii) the person
exercising the Option so requests the Board in writing, the Board may in its
sole discretion cancel the Option and cause the Company to pay in cash or in
shares of Common Stock (at a price per share equal to the fair market value per
share) to the person exercising the Option an amount equal to the difference
between the fair market value of the Stock which would have been purchased
pursuant to the exercise (determined on the date the Option is canceled) and the
aggregate exercise price which would have been paid.

6.2.  RESTRICTED STOCK.

      (A) RESTRICTED STOCK. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the
Board may grant shares of Stock or allow the purchase shares of Stock in such
amounts and upon such terms and conditions as the Board shall determine subject
to the restrictions, if any, described below ("Restricted Stock").

      (B) RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT. The Board may require, as a condition to
an Award of Restricted Stock (a "Restricted Stock Award"), that a recipient of a
Restricted Stock Award enter into a restricted stock award agreement, setting
forth the terms and conditions of the Award or that the recipient execute other
instruments including, but not limited to, any stockholders agreement of the
Company (any instrument governing the Restricted Stock being a "Restricted Stock
Award Agreement"). In lieu of a Restricted Stock Award Agreement, the Board may
provide the terms and conditions of an Award in a notice to the Participant of
the Award, on the stock certificate

                                       4
<PAGE>
representing the Restricted Stock, in the resolution approving the Award, or in
such other manner as it deems appropriate.

      (C) TRANSFERABILITY AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS. Except as otherwise provided
in this Section 6.2, the shares of Restricted Stock granted herein may not be
sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated
until the end of the applicable period or periods, if any, established by the
Board and the satisfaction of any other conditions or restrictions, if any,
established by the Board (such period during which a share of Restricted Stock
is subject to such restrictions and conditions is referred to as the "Restricted
Period"). Except as the Board may otherwise determine under Section 7.1 or
Section 7.2 or except as set forth in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, if a
Participant dies or suffers a Status Change (as defined at Section 7.2(a)) for
any reason during the Restricted Period, the Company may purchase the shares of
Restricted Stock subject to such restrictions and conditions for the amount of
cash paid by the Participant for such shares; PROVIDED, that any shares of
Restricted Stock for which no cash was paid by the Participant shall be
automatically forfeited to the Company.

      During the Restricted Period, if any, with respect to any shares of
Restricted Stock, the Company shall have the right to retain in the Company's
possession the certificate or certificates representing such shares.

      (D) REMOVAL OF RESTRICTIONS. Except as otherwise provided in this Section
6.2 and subject to any other restrictions on transfer of the Restricted Stock,
including, but not limited to, those restrictions contained in any stockholders
agreement of the Company, a share of Restricted Stock covered by a Restricted
Stock Award shall become freely transferable by the Participant upon completion
of the Restricted Period, if any, including the passage of any applicable period
of time and satisfaction of any conditions to vesting. The Board, in its sole
discretion, shall have the right at any time immediately to waive all or any
part of the restrictions and conditions with regard to all or any part of the
shares held by any Participant.

      (E) VOTING RIGHTS, DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. During the
Restricted Period, if any, Participants holding shares of Restricted Stock
granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights and shall receive all regular
cash dividends paid with respect to such shares. Except as the Board shall
otherwise determine, any other cash dividends and other distributions paid to
Participants with respect to shares of Restricted Stock, including any dividends
and distributions paid in shares, shall be subject to the same restrictions and
conditions as the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were
paid.

      (F) OTHER AWARDS SETTLED WITH RESTRICTED STOCK. The Board may, at the time
any Award described in this Section 6 is granted, provide that any or all of the
Stock delivered pursuant to the Award will be Restricted Stock.

                                       5
<PAGE>
      (G) NOTICE OF SECTION 83(B) ELECTION. Any Participant making an election
under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to Restricted Stock must provide a
copy thereof to the Company within 10 days of filing such election with the
Internal Revenue Service.

      6.3. PERFORMANCE AWARDS; PERFORMANCE GOALS.

      (A) NATURE OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS. A performance award entitles the
recipient to receive, without payment, an amount in cash or Stock or a
combination thereof (such form to be determined by the Board) following the
attainment of Performance Goals (as hereinafter defined) (a "Performance
Award"). Performance Goals may be related to personal performance, corporate
performance, departmental performance or any other category or combination of
categories of performance established by the Board. The Board will determine the
Performance Goals, the period or periods during which performance is to be
measured and all other terms and conditions applicable to the Award.

      (B) OTHER AWARDS SUBJECT TO PERFORMANCE CONDITION. The Board may, at the
time any Award described in this Section 6.3 is granted, impose the condition
(in addition to any conditions specified or authorized in this Section 6 or any
other provision of the Plan) that Performance Goals be met prior to the
Participant's realization of any payment or benefit under the Award. Any such
Award made subject to the achievement of Performance Goals (other than an
Option) shall be treated as a Performance Award for purposes of Section 6.3(c)
below.

      (C) LIMITATIONS AND SPECIAL RULES. In the case of any Performance Award
intended to qualify for the performance-based remuneration exception described
in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code and the regulations thereunder (an "Exempt
Award"), the Board shall in writing preestablish specific Performance Goals. A
Performance Goal must be established prior to passage of 25% of the period of
time over which attainment of such goal is to be measured. "Performance Goal"
means criteria based upon any one or more of the following (on a consolidated,
divisional, subsidiary, line of business or geographical basis or any
combinations thereof): (i) sales; revenues; assets; expenses; earnings before or
after deduction for all or any portion of interest, taxes, depreciation or
amortization, whether or not on a continuing operations or an aggregate or per
share basis; return on equity, investment, capital or assets; inventory level or
turns; one or more operating ratios; borrowing levels, leverage ratios or credit
rating; market share; capital expenditures; cash flow; stock price; stockholder
return; or any combination of the foregoing; or (ii) acquisitions and
divestitures (in whole or in part); joint ventures and strategic alliances;
spin-offs, split-ups and the like; reorganizations; recapitalizations,
restructurings, financings (issuance of debt or equity) and refinancings; or
(iii) any combination of the foregoing. A Performance Goal and targets with
respect thereto determined by the Board need not be based upon an increase, a
positive or improved result or avoidance of loss. The maximum Exempt Award
payable to any Participant in respect of any such Performance Goal for any year
shall not exceed $2,500,000.

                                       6
<PAGE>
7.    EVENTS AFFECTING OUTSTANDING AWARDS

      7.1. TERMINATION OF SERVICE

      If a Participant who is an Employee ceases to be an Employee for any
reason, or if there is a termination (other than by reason of death) of the
consulting, service or similar relationship in respect of which a non-Employee
Participant was granted an Award hereunder (such termination of the employment
or other relationship being hereinafter referred to as a "Status Change"), the
following will apply:

      (a) Except as otherwise determined by the Board, all Options held by the
Participant that were not exercisable immediately prior to the Status Change
shall terminate at the time of the Status Change. Any Options that were
exercisable immediately prior to the Status Change will continue to be
exercisable within the three month period following the Status Change (or such
longer period as the Board may determine), and shall thereupon terminate, unless
the Award provides by its terms for immediate termination in the event of a
Status Change (unless otherwise determined by the Board) or unless the Status
Change results from a discharge for cause (as determined by the Board) below) in
which case all Options shall terminate immediately. In no event, however, shall
an Option remain exercisable beyond the latest date on which it could have been
exercised without regard to this Section 7. For purposes of this paragraph, in
the case of a Participant who is an Employee, a Status Change shall not be
deemed to have resulted by reason of (i) a sick leave or other bona fide leave
of absence approved for purposes of the Plan by the Board, so long as the
Employee's right to reemployment is guaranteed either by statute or by contract,
or (ii) a transfer of employment between the Company and a subsidiary or between
subsidiaries, or to the employment of a corporation (or a parent or subsidiary
corporation of such corporation) issuing or assuming an option in a transaction
to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies.

      (b) Except as otherwise determined by the Board and provided in a
Restricted Stock Award Agreement, all Restricted Stock held by the Participant
at the time of the Status Change which remains subject to restrictions, if any,
pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Award Agreement must
be transferred to the Company (and, in the event the certificates representing
such Restricted Stock are held by the Company, such Restricted Stock will be so
transferred without any further action by the Participant) in accordance with
Section 6.2(c) above.

      (c) Any payment or benefit under a Performance Award to which the
Participant was not irrevocably entitled prior to the Status Change will be
forfeited and the Award cancelled as of the date of such Status Change unless
otherwise determined either by the Board or the terms of the Performance Award
established at the time of grant.

      7.2. CERTAIN CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS.

      Except as otherwise provided by the Committee at the time of grant, in the
event of a consolidation or merger in which the Company is not the surviving
corporation or which results in

                                       7
<PAGE>
the acquisition of substantially all the Company's outstanding Stock by a single
person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert, or
in the event of the sale or transfer of substantially all the Company's assets
or a dissolution or liquidation of the Company (a "Covered Transaction"), the
following rules shall apply:

      (a) Subject to paragraph (b) below, all outstanding Awards requiring
          exercise will cease to be exercisable, and all other Awards to the
          extent not fully vested (including Awards subject to conditions not
          yet satisfied or determined) will be forfeited, as of the effective
          time of the Covered Transaction, provided that the Committee may in
          its sole discretion, on or prior to the effective date of the covered
          transaction, (1) make any outstanding Option exercisable in full, (2)
          remove the restrictions from any Restricted Stock, (3) cause the
          Company to make any payment and provide any benefit under any
          Performance Award and (4) remove any performance or other conditions
          or restrictions on any Award; or

      (b) With respect to an outstanding Award held by a participant who,
          following the Covered Transaction, will be employed by or otherwise
          providing services to an entity which is a surviving or acquiring
          entity in the covered transaction or an affiliate of such an entity,
          the Committee may at or prior to the effective time of the covered
          transaction, in its sole discretion and in lieu of the action
          described in paragraph (a) above, arrange to have such surviving or
          acquiring entity or affiliate assume any Award held by such
          participant outstanding hereunder or grant a replacement award which,
          in the judgment of the Committee, is substantially equivalent to any
          Award being replaced.

8.    GENERAL PROVISIONS

      8.1. DOCUMENTATION OF AWARDS.

      Awards will be evidenced by such written instruments, if any, as may be
prescribed by the Board from time to time. Such instruments may be in the form
of agreements to be executed by both the Participant and the Company, or
certificates, letters or similar instruments, which need not be executed by the
Participant but acceptance of which will evidence agreement to the terms
thereof.

                                       8
<PAGE>
      8.2. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER, DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS.

      Except as specifically provided by the Plan, the receipt of an Award will
not give a Participant rights as a stockholder; the Participant will obtain such
rights, subject to any limitations imposed by the Plan or the instrument
evidencing the Award, only upon the issuance of Stock. However, the Board may,
on such conditions as it deems appropriate, provide that a Participant will
receive a benefit in lieu of cash dividends that would have been payable on any
or all Stock subject to the Participant's Award had such Stock been outstanding.
Without limitation, the Board may provide for payment to the Participant of
amounts representing such dividends, either currently or in the future, or for
the investment of such amounts on behalf of the Participant.

      8.3. CONDITIONS ON DELIVERY OF STOCK.

      The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Stock pursuant
to the Plan or to remove any restriction from shares previously delivered under
the Plan (a) until all conditions of the Award have been satisfied or removed,
(b) until, in the opinion of the Company's counsel, all applicable federal and
state laws and regulations have been complied with, (c) if the outstanding Stock
is at the time listed on any stock exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market, until
the shares to be delivered have been listed or authorized to be listed on such
exchange or market upon official notice of notice of issuance, and (d) until all
other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares
have been approved by the Company's counsel. If the sale of Stock has not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company may
require, as a condition to exercise of the Award, such representations or
agreements as counsel for the Company may consider appropriate to avoid
violation of such Act and may require that the certificates evidencing such
Stock bear an appropriate legend restricting transfer.

      If an Award is exercised by the Participant's legal representative, the
Company will be under no obligation to deliver Stock pursuant to such exercise
until the Company is satisfied as to the authority of such representative.

      8.4. TAX WITHHOLDING.

      The Company will withhold from any cash payment made pursuant to an Award
an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and local withholding tax
requirements (the "withholding requirements").

      In the case of an Award pursuant to which Stock may be delivered, the
Board will have the right to require that the Participant or other appropriate
person remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy the withholding
requirements, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Board with regard
to such requirements, prior to the delivery of any Stock or removal of
restrictions thereon. If and to the extent that such withholding is required,
the Board may permit the Participant or such other person to elect at such time
and in such manner as the Board provides to have the Company hold back from the
shares to be delivered, or to deliver to the Company, Stock having a

                                       9
<PAGE>
value calculated to satisfy the withholding requirement. The Board may make such
share withholding mandatory with respect to any Award at the time such Award is
made to a Participant.

      If at the time an ISO is exercised the Board determines that the Company
could be liable for withholding requirements with respect to the exercise or
with respect to a disposition of the Stock received upon exercise, the Board may
require as a condition of exercise that the person exercising the ISO agree (a)
to provide for withholding under the preceding paragraph of this Section 8.4, if
the Board determines that a withholding responsibility may arise in connection
with tax exercise, (b) to inform the Company promptly of any disposition (within
the meaning of Section 424(c) of the Code) of Stock received upon exercise, and
(c) to give such security as the Board deems adequate to meet the potential
liability of the Company for the withholding requirements and to augment such
security from time to time in any amount reasonably deemed necessary by the
Board to preserve the adequacy of such security.

      8.5. TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS.

      Unless otherwise permitted by the Board, no Award may be transferred other
than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

      8.6. ADJUSTMENTS IN THE EVENT OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS.

      (a) In the event of a stock dividend, stock split or combination of
shares, recapitalization or other change in the Company's capitalization, or
other distribution to holders of Stock other than normal cash dividends, after
the effective date of the Plan, the Board will make any appropriate adjustments
to the maximum number of shares that may be delivered under the Plan under the
first paragraph of Section 4 above and to the limits described in the second
paragraph of Section 4 and in Section 6.3(c).

      (b) In any event referred to in paragraph (a), the Board will also make
any appropriate adjustments to the number and kind of shares of Stock or
securities subject to Awards then outstanding or subsequently granted, any
exercise prices relating to Awards and any other provision of Awards affected by
such change. The Board may also make such adjustments to take into account
material changes in law or in accounting practices or principles, mergers,
consolidations, acquisitions, dispositions or similar corporate transactions, or
any other event, if it is determined by the Board that adjustments are
appropriate to avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan; PROVIDED, that
adjustments pursuant to this sentence shall not be made to the extent it would
cause any Award intended to be exempt under Section 162(m)(4)(c) of the Code to
fail to be so exempt.

      (c) In the case of ISOs, the adjustments described in (a) and (b) above
will be made only to the extent consistent with continued qualification of the
Option under Section 422 of the Code (in the case of an ISO) or Section 162(m)
of the Code.

      8.7. EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS, ETC.

      Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the grant of Awards will confer upon
any person any right to continued retention by the Company or any subsidiary as
an Employee or otherwise, or affect in any way the right of the Company or
subsidiary to terminate an employment, service or similar relationship at any
time. Except as specifically provided by the Board in any particular case, the
loss of existing or potential profit in Awards granted under the Plan will not
constitute an element of damages in the event of termination of an employment,
service or similar relationship even if the termination is in violation of an
obligation of the Company to the Participant.

      8.8. DEFERRAL OF PAYMENTS.

      The Board may agree at any time, upon request of the Participant, to defer
the date on which any payment under an Award will be made.

      8.9. PAST SERVICES AS CONSIDERATION.

      Where a Participant purchases Stock under an Award for a price equal to
the par value of the Stock, the Board may determine that such price has been
satisfied by past services rendered by the Participant.

9.    EFFECT, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

      Neither adoption of the Plan nor the grant of Awards to a Participant will
affect the Company's right to grant to such Participant awards that are not
subject to the Plan, to issue to such Participant Stock as a bonus or otherwise,
or to adopt other plans or arrangements under which Stock may be issued to
Employees.

      The Board may at any time or times amend the Plan or any outstanding Award
for any purpose which may at the time be permitted by law, or may at any time
terminate the Plan as to any further grants of Awards, provided that no such
amendment shall materially impair any rights or materially increase any
obligations of the Participant under any Award theretofore made under the Plan
without the consent of the Participant, and provided further that (except to the
extent expressly required or permitted by the Plan) no such amendment will,
without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, effectuate a change for
which stockholder approval is required in order for the Plan to continue to
qualify for the award of ISOs under Section 422 of the Code or for the award of
performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.
