     Members or the Plan, unless the Agreement is otherwise renewed by the Plan

     of the Plan on DECEMBER 1, 1999 (Effective Date) and continue through
     NOVEMBER 30, 2000 (Termination Date). The Agreement shall automatically
     terminate on the Termination Date. The Agreement may be renewed, at
     Reinsurer's sole discretion, if the Plan submits a completed Renewal
     Request Form and Questionnaire to Reinsurer at least thirty (30) days prior
     to the Termination Date, and the Plan and Reinsurer subsequently execute a
     Renewal Agreement Form.

B.   1. If payment for any premium is not received by Reinsurer from the Plan as
     specified in Article IV - Premium Payment, this Agreement shall
     automatically terminate effective the last day of the last month in which
     the premium for that month was fully paid, or on the earliest date
     permitted by applicable law. If Reinsurer receives and accepts payment
     prior to the end of the month in which the premium was due, coverage under
     this Agreement shall be continued. Reinsurer may, at its sole discretion,
     waive the automatic termination from time to time, by providing written
     notice to the Plan.

     2.   This Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date of the Plan's
          Insolvency or cessation of operations. In the event of the Plan's
          Insolvency or cessation of operations, the Reinsurer shall have
          liability for losses incurred after Insolvency or cessation of
          operations only as specifically provided under the terms of any fully
          executed Insolvency Endorsement(s).

     3.   (a) Reinsurer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by
          giving thirty-one (31) days written notice to the Plan, if the Plan:

               (i)  loses its license, regulatory or other, to operate any line
                    of business covered under this Agreement;

               (ii) terminates or otherwise loses its Medicare or Medicaid
                    contract or authorization to conduct business;

               (iii) undergoes a change in the existing management service
                    contracts, Provider Service Agreement(s), Errors & Omissions
                    or Directors & Officers insurance coverage, or Member
                    Service Agreement(s) so as to materially alter underwriting
                    of Company's risk or have a material adverse effect on
                    Company; (iv) undergoes a change in majority ownership, is
                    acquired or comes under control of or is merged with another
                    entity, acquires the assets and liabilities of another
                    entity, or changes its business in any way, so as to
                    materially alter underwriting of Company's risk under this
                    Agreement; or (v) fails to act in accordance with the
                    subrogation provisions contained in this Agreement.

          (b)  Plan shall give Reinsurer written notice of an event described
               above as soon as Plan is aware that such event will occur and at
               least forty-five (45) days before it is to occur. If Plan fails
               to give Reinsurer timely notice, then Reinsurer shall have the
               right to terminate the Agreement as of the time termination would
               have occurred, had the Plan provided timely notice of the
               relevant event(s).

          (c)  In the event any item 3(a)(i)-(v) occurs, the Reinsurer may, at
               its option, charge an additional premium to the Plan or amend the
               terms of this Agreement in lieu of termination by providing
               notice to the Plan. Such written notice shall set forth the date
               and time Reinsurer will adjust premium or amend the terms of this
               Agreement, but no sooner than thirty-one (31) days after the
               receipt of notice from the Plan.

C.       Termination of this Agreement shall not terminate the rights or
         liabilities of either Plan or Reinsurer arising during the period when
         this Agreement was in force and effect, provided that nothing herein
         shall be construed to extend Reinsurer's liability for reimbursements
         under this Agreement for any Loss arising, incurred or paid by the Plan
         that was not properly reported during the Agreement and after the
         Termination Date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the Termination
         Date stated in Article IIA, the date of termination under Article II
         Section B (1 through 4) shall be deemed the Termination Date in the
         event notice of termination is provided pursuant to Article II Section
         B.

                                   ARTICLE III

               average daily maximum of $2,000 for all hospital stays during
               each Agreement Year. The average daily maximum shall be

          Reinsurer shall determine coverage for Eligible Services by starting
          with the amount eligible pursuant to contract limits, subtracting the
          deductible, and then multiplying by the percentage coinsurance(s) as
          stated in this provision. In the case of multiple coinsurance, the
          calculation shall be made in accordance with the worksheet, Attachment
          F-Request For HMO Reinsurance Reimbursement Form.

               not be considered per diem contracts once the outlier threshold
               is reached.

          (c)  In no event shall Eligible Services exceed reasonable market
               costs as measured by standard industry indices for similar care
               in the region.

          (d)  All transplant-related services that are part of a
               pre-negotiated, inclusive, package fee, including physician
               services, will be considered Eligible Inpatient Hospital
               Services, if provided under a Reinsurer-approved transplant
               contract or network.

          (e)  Unless specified otherwise, Plan Losses shall be reimbursed
               according to the lesser of billed charges, or the paid amount.

          (f)  No coverage change shall be made to this Agreement until actual
               notice is received by Reinsurer and approved by Reinsurer as
               provided in Article VI Section A - Report, Records and Audits.

          (g)  Current hospital contracted rates negotiated with the Plan shall
               be included as Attachment A. Changes to hospital contracts shall
               be reported to the Reinsurer within thirty-one days of the
               change.

B.   The maximum reinsurance coverage payable under this Agreement, during any
     Agreement Year, for all Eligible Services for each Member shall be

C.   The maximum lifetime reinsurance coverage payable under this Agreement,
     arising out of and inclusive of all Agreement Years for Eligible Services
     for each Member shall be $2,000,000.

D.   In the event the Agreement is renewed pursuant to Article II Section A -
     Commencement and Termination, any Loss incurred by the Plan during the last
     thirty-one (31) days of the previous Agreement Year in which no benefits
     were payable in connection with such Member's coverage solely, because the
     deductible limit had not been reached, shall be applied toward satisfaction
     of the deductible amount for the Member in question in the succeeding
     Agreement Year.

E.   If Reinsurer makes payment for a Loss and it is later shown or discovered
     that a lesser amount should have been paid, Reinsurer shall be entitled to
     a prompt refund of the excess paid.

                                   ARTICLE IV

PREMIUM PAYMENT

A.   The premium for the reinsurance coverage provided by the Reinsurer under
     this Agreement shall be for those Members for whom Plan has requested
     reinsurance coverage from Reinsurer, as follows:

     $0.96 per Member per month for Commercial Members $1.10 per Member per
     month for Point of Service Members

B.   Premiums shall be payable monthly and shall be based on an estimate of the
     number of Plan Members, by Member classification, covered by this Agreement
     and eligible to receive Eligible Services for the upcoming month plus an
     adjustment for the previous months' actual number of Members. When the
     actual number of Members is higher than the estimate, the premium shall be
     increased accordingly. When the actual number of Members is lower than the
     estimate, the premium shall be decreased accordingly.

C.   Premiums shall be payable to the Reinsurer at the office of its choice, as
     indicated in writing to the Plan, due on the first (1st) day of the month
     and payable no later than the twentieth (20th) day of the month for which
     they are due.

D.   If a written request is received by Reinsurer from the Plan in advance of
     the date due, Reinsurer may, at its sole option, choose to extend the date
     due.

E.   The premium payment by the Plan to Reinsurer shall be accompanied by a
     statement signed by an authorized Plan official in which the number of
     enrolled and eligible Members for the previous month is given. Should the
     number of enrolled and eligible Members decrease to a number less than
     SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT (75% or increase to a number greater than ONE HUNDRED
     TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT (125%) of the number of Members enrolled in the first
     month of any Agreement Year, then the Reinsurer may, at its option and upon
     thirty (30) days written notice and without waiver of any other right or
     remedy, adjust the premium to reflect such percentage change in membership.
     Such adjusted premium shall be immediately payable upon notice from
     Reinsurer.

F.   Reinsurer shall have the right to adjust the premium upon thirty (30) days
     prior written notice effective the anniversary of the Effective Date of the
     first Agreement Year and at each subsequent anniversary of the Effective
     Date thereafter. This change will be based, in part, upon Reinsurer's
     reliance on the Plan's reporting of Losses for the prior Agreement Year.

G.   Upon receiving notice, in compliance with and as defined in Article VI -
     Reports, Records and Audits, of a change in the contracted rates with
     providers as identified in Attachment A, or Member Service Agreements as
     identified in Attachment B, Reinsurer may elect to include or not include
     the change or modification of the Plan from reinsurance coverage, or charge
     an additional premium to include the change or modification. Reinsurer
     shall not be liable for any Loss attributable to any change or modification
     of coverage of the Plan in the event the Plan fails to properly notify
     Reinsurer pursuant to Article VI - Reports, Records and Audits.

                                    ARTICLE V

NOTICE OF LOSSES

A.   Plan shall use its best efforts to give Reinsurer notice of Losses or
     potential Losses immediately when Plan has reason to believe that a claim
     under this Agreement will occur and no later than within thirty (30) days
     from the date on which the Plan has reason to believe a Loss has occurred
     or is likely to occur.

B.   Plan shall submit an updated cumulative Monthly Reinsurance Loss Report
     (Attachment E), in writing to Reinsurer that shall list the names and
     amounts for those Members that have received Eligible Services during the
     Agreement Year exceeding fifty percent (50%) of their individual deductible
     set forth in Article III Section A. This report shall be updated and
     submitted within twenty (20) days of the end of each month. Information for
     each reported Member shall include: the name of the covered Member,
     diagnosis, inpatient admission and discharge dates, amount paid to date,
     and estimated potential total costs during the term of the Agreement.

C.   1. In no event shall Reinsurer be liable to the Plan for any Losses unless
     they are:

          (a)  paid by the Plan and reported, in writing, to the Reinsurer
               within EIGHTEEN (18) months of the effective date of the
               Agreement Year in which the Loss was incurred, and

          (b)  a complete Request for HMO Reinsurance Reimbursement Form
               (Attachment F, including all required back-up supporting data)
               has been submitted by the Plan, and received by the Reinsurer,
               within NINETEEN (19) months of the effective date of the
               Agreement Year in which the Loss was incurred.

     2.   The only exceptions to Article V Section C1 are unsettled Losses due
          to coordination of benefits, as defined in the Member Service
          Agreement, and subrogation/reimbursement, which were reported to the
          Reinsurer according to the terms of this Agreement. The Plan will have
          TWENTY-FOUR (24) months from the beginning of the Agreement Year in
          which the Loss was incurred to submit these Losses to the Reinsurer.

D.   Reinsurer shall furnish the Plan with a supply of Monthly Reinsurance Loss
     Report Forms, similar to Attachment E, which shall be used in reporting
     Losses and potential Losses to the Reinsurer. Reinsurer shall furnish the
     Plan with a supply of Request for HMO Reinsurance Reimbursement Forms,
     similar to Attachment F, which shall be used in filing a Loss. Attachments
     E and F may be customized by Reinsurer to accommodate Plan coverage
     differences.

E.   Plan shall submit a Loss, as set forth in Article V Section C, by
     furnishing a completed Request For Reinsurance Reimbursement Form and, upon
     request, any information Reinsurer deems necessary to properly determine
     Losses payable under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, dates
     of service, dates of payment, amount paid with draft or check numbers with
     listing of claim valuations (by ICD9, DRG, or CPT codes) totaled on
     computer form or calculator tape, copies of itemized expenses, UB 92 forms
     and vendor billings, accident report (if applicable), and invoices/billings
     for case management fees (if applicable).

F.   If the Plan shall knowingly submit any false claim(s) or Losses or make any
     material misrepresentations relating to claims or Losses to Reinsurer, this
     Agreement shall immediately terminate from either the date of such false
     claim, Loss or material misrepresentation, or the date such false claim,
     Loss or material misrepresentation is discovered, at Reinsurer's
     discretion, and the Plan shall reimburse the Reinsurer for any amounts paid
     under such false claim, Loss or as a result of the material
     misrepresentations.

                                   ARTICLE VI

REPORTS, RECORDS AND AUDITS

A.   Plan shall report to Reinsurer any changes or modifications in any covered
     benefits included in its Member Service Agreements and any changes or
     modifications to its contracted rates with providers. The Plan shall send
     such report to Reinsurer thirty-one (31) days before the effective date of
     the change so that Reinsurer can evaluate the need for any changes in this
     Agreement, as specified in Article IV Section G - Premium Payments. No
     coverage change shall be made to this Agreement until actual notice is
     received by Reinsurer and approved by Reinsurer, as provided in this
     Agreement. In the event such notice is received after thirty-one (31) days
     prior to the Termination Date and the Agreement is not renewed pursuant to
     Article II Section A - Commencement and Termination, Reinsurer shall have
     the option, in its sole discretion, of applying Article IV Section G -
     Premium Payments and this provision (Article VI Section A) retrospectively.
     These referenced provisions shall survive termination of the Agreement.

B.   Plan's books and records, relating to reinsurance under this Agreement, to
     the extent permitted by law, shall be made available to Reinsurer and its
     authorized representatives for inspection and audit during normal business
     hours, upon ten (10) days written notice to the Plan by the Reinsurer, on a
     date and time mutually agreed to by the parties. Plan's books and records
     shall be maintained and preserved, by the Plan, and made available to the
     Reinsurer in hard copy, during the time this Agreement is in effect and for
     a period of seven (7) years thereafter for each applicable record.

C.   All information disclosed to Reinsurer by Plan, or to Plan by Reinsurer,
     either in the course of conducting negotiations or as the result of
     complying with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall be
     considered to be proprietary and confidential information by both Plan and
     Reinsurer and shall not be disclosed without written consent of the other,
     except to its auditors and attorneys, and as required by applicable law or
     judicial process.

D.   The submission of this Agreement or other information related thereto to
     any department of insurance or other appropriate state regulatory authority
     such as a department of health or department of public welfare of any
     state, federal agency or court having jurisdiction over the matter and
     having a legal right to the information shall not be considered a violation
     of this Article, provided that the other party is advised in advance of
     submission.

E.   Plan warrants and represents that all reports, books, records and other
     financial or other information furnished to Reinsurer, including copies of
     Errors & Omissions and Directors & Officers insurance coverage, are true,
     complete, and correct in all material respects. Plan warrants that its
     Errors & Omissions and Directors & Officers coverage shall not decrease
     during the term of this Agreement. Plan shall provide Reinsurer at least
     thirty (30) days advance notice of any pending change to such coverages. In
     the event that the Plan has provided any information to the Reinsurer that
     is not true, complete, or correct in all material respects, then
     Reinsurer's remedies include, but are not limited to, termination of this
     Agreement and adjustment of premium and/or coverage on a retrospective
     basis to reflect Reinsurer's risk based on the correct quarterly and annual
     information. This provision shall survive termination of the Agreement.

F.   As a condition of reinsurance coverage, Plan shall provide Reinsurer
     required National Association of Insurance Commissioners financial
     statements no later than the forty-fifth business day following the Plan's
     fiscal quarter end for the first three fiscal quarters, and no later than
     the sixtieth day following the last day of the Plan's fiscal fourth
     quarter, and audited and pro forma financial statements promptly upon
     Reinsurer's request. In the event that the Plan fails to comply with
     Reinsurer's request, then Reinsurer will give the Plan notice of breach and
     the Plan will have 10 business days from the date of notice to cure the
     breach. If Plan fails to do so, Reinsurer may at its option terminate this
     Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE VII

ARBITRATION

A.   If any dispute should arise between the Plan and the Reinsurer with
     reference to the interpretation of this Agreement or their rights with
     respect to any transaction involved, the dispute shall be referred to three
     (3) arbitrators knowledgeable in the health insurance and reinsurance
     business, one to be chosen by each party and the third by the two so
     chosen.

B.   If either party refuses or neglects to appoint an arbitrator within sixty
     (60) days after the receipt of written notice from the other party
     requesting it do to so, the requesting party may nominate two arbitrators
     who shall choose the third. Each party shall submit its case to the
     arbitrators within sixty (60) days of the appointment of the arbitrators.
     The arbitrators shall render their written opinion within thirty (30) days
     after conclusion of the case.

C.   The arbitrators shall consider this Agreement an honorable engagement
     rather than merely a legal obligation and may consider the use and custom
     of the reinsurance industry. They are relieved of all judicial formalities
     and may abstain from following the strict rules of civil procedure. The
     decision of a majority of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on
     both the Plan and the Reinsurer. The expense of the arbitrators and of the
     arbitration shall be divided equally between the Plan and the Reinsurer.
     Any such arbitration shall take place in Minneapolis, Minnesota, unless
     some other location is mutually agreed upon by the Plan and the Reinsurer.

D.   The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9
     USCss.1 et. seq. and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators
     may be entered and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over the
     subject matter. Arbitrators shall not be empowered to award damages in
     excess of compensatory damages and each party hereby irrevocably waives any
     damages in excess of compensatory damages.

E.   Upon the finding by a court of prejudice or bias by two of the arbitrators
     against the party appealing, the gross abuse of discretion by the majority
     of the arbitrators, or the incorrect application of the law by the
     arbitrators, the decision of the court shall be binding on the parties.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

INSOLVENCY

Except to the extent there is any coverage provided in an insolvency
endorsement, in the event of termination of this Agreement due to Insolvency of
the Plan, the following rules shall apply for purposes of Losses incurred prior
to the date of termination.

A.   Reinsurer shall have no obligation with respect to administration of Plan
     benefits or for making any direct payments to any party other than the Plan
     or its liquidator, receiver, rehabilitator, trustee, administrator or other
     statutory successor (collectively referred to as "Successor"). Reinsurer
     will make payments directly to the Plan or its Successor, with reasonable
     provisions for verification, without diminution because of the Insolvency
     of the Plan. The Plan or its Successor will cooperate with Reinsurer in
     providing full access to Plan records and personnel, at Plan's expense, to
     enable Reinsurer to reasonably determine its obligations.

B.   The Plan or its Successor shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the
     pendency of claims against the Insolvent Plan within a reasonable time
     after such claims are presented to the Plan or its Successor or when such
     claims are filed in an Insolvency proceeding. During the pendency of such
     claims the Reinsurer may investigate such claims and interpose, at its own
     expense, in the proceeding where such claims are to be adjudicated, any
     defense or defenses which it may deem available to the Plan or its
     Successor. As soon as practicable after such time as the Plan may become
     Insolvent, the Plan or it Successor shall take any and all steps necessary
     to obtain any court approval which may be required to permit expenses
     incurred by the Reinsurer to be chargeable against the insolvent Plan as
     part of the expenses of liquidation or rehabilitation. If no such court
     approval is required, such expenses shall automatically become chargeable
     as expenses of liquidation or rehabilitation entitled to such priority as
     may attach as a matter of applicable law. Nothing contained herein requires
     Reinsurer to take such actions, and Reinsurer's obligations remain limited
     to Plan's obligations under the Member Service Agreements, the Plan's
     arrangements with health care providers, and the terms of this Agreement.

C.   Notice of Plan's date of Insolvency or date of cessation of operations
     shall be communicated to Reinsurer by Plan at the earliest possible point
     in time.

D.   The Plan shall notify Reinsurer immediately of the pendency of action which
     may lead to Insolvency or any intentions the organization may have of
     ceasing operation. Any time after this notification, and prior to the court
     having named a successor organization, Reinsurer shall have the first
     option of entering into an agreement to conserve the Plan. Such agreement
     may include purchase, sale or management of the Plan.

E.   Reinsurer and the Plan or its Successor shall have the right to setoff to
     the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

                                   ARTICLE IX

LIMITATIONS OF REINSURANCE

A.   Reinsurer's liability to provide reimbursement of Losses to Plan pursuant
     to this Agreement shall not exceed, in any event, the limits of coverage
     stated in Article III - Reinsurance Coverage.

B.   The Plan is solely responsible for arranging for the provision of all
     services to its Members, for compensation of all liability to its providers
     and to its Members, and for payment of all expenses to its Members.

C.   This Agreement does not provide reimbursement for salaries paid to
     employees of the Plan or independent contractor fees paid to
     representatives of the Plan.

D.   Reinsurer shall not have any responsibility or obligation to provide any
     direct services or pay expenses to any Member of the Plan.

E.   This is an agreement for reinsurance solely between Reinsurer and the Plan.
     Nothing in this Agreement shall create any right or legal contractual
     relationship between Reinsurer and any Member under a Member Service
     Agreement.

F.   Reinsurer shall not be liable to the Plan, and the Plan shall hold harmless
     and indemnify Reinsurer, for any of the following:

     1.   professional liability or liability for any act or omission, tortious
          or otherwise, in connection with any services rendered to any person
          or persons by Plan or any group, entity or person employed by or under
          contract with a provider agreement under the Plan;

     2.   liability assumed by Plan in excess of Plan's Member Service
          Agreements, including liability under any contract other than Plan's
          Member Service Agreements;

     3.   expenses or Losses which the Plan has paid as settlement, whereby the
          Plan released any persons or entity from its legal liability;

     4.   any liability, Loss or expense caused or contributed to by war,
          hostilities (whether war be declared or not), invasion, civil war, or
          participation by Members in riot or civil disturbance;

     5.   liability as a result of sickness or accidental injury not
          specifically covered by the Member Service Agreements, unless notice
          has been provided in accordance with Article VI Section A and
          Reinsurer has specifically agreed to provide coverage for such Loss;
          or

     6.   damages, actions or claims made against Reinsurer and caused by the
          Plan's acts or omissions in administering the Plan's Member Service
          Agreement.

G.   Reinsurer shall not be held liable for the Plan's expenses and losses which
     are due to any noncompliance or violation of any federal or state or local
     statute, rule or regulation.

H.   Reinsurer shall not be held liable for any amount paid by the Plan for
     legal expenses, for punitive or exemplary damages, or compensatory damages
     or any other extra contractual damages awarded to any Member arising out of
     the conduct of the Plan's investigation, trial or settlement of any claim
     or failure to pay or delay in payment of any benefits or rendering of any
     services under its Member Service Agreements or any statutory penalty
     imposed upon the Plan on account of any unfair trade practice or any unfair
     claim practice.

I.   In no event shall Reinsurer be liable to the Plan for Losses arising from
     Plan's failure to use reasonable diligence in providing or arranging for
     case management, and fee negotiation for non-contracted services, to
     reasonably minimize Losses.

                                    ARTICLE X

GENERAL PROVISIONS

A.   This Agreement shall not be assignable without the express prior written
     consent of the other party.

B.   The Plan's eligibility for and/or recoveries for Losses under any other
     insurance or reinsurance shall reduce Reinsurer's liability under this
     Agreement.

C.   If any payment is made by Reinsurer under this Agreement, Reinsurer shall
     be subrogated to all of the Plan's right to recover such payment against
     any Plan Member, person or organization, and the Plan shall execute and
     deliver instruments and do whatever is necessary to preserve and secure
     such right. The Plan will promptly notify Reinsurer of any Loss in which
     there is a likelihood of recovery from a third party. Any recovery made by
     the Plan shall be reimbursed to Reinsurer to the extent Plan has included
     payments to be considered under this Agreement.

D.   This Agreement constitutes the entire contract of reinsurance. No change in
     this Agreement shall be valid until approved in writing by an executive
     officer of Reinsurer and unless such approval is endorsed herein or
     attached hereto. Except as authorized in writing by Reinsurer, no agent has
     authority to change this Agreement or to waive any of its provisions. No
     delay or failure by either party to exercise, at any time, any right or
     remedy of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver thereof or of such
     party's right to exercise any right or remedy.

E.   All attachments to the Agreement, whether described as an exhibit,
     endorsement, schedule, addendum or otherwise, are incorporated by
     reference. Any conflict between the terms contained in the body of the
     Agreement and such attachment will be governed by the terms contained in
     the body of the Agreement, except as specifically provided otherwise.

F.   This Agreement shall be governed by and administered in accordance with the
     laws of the State of CONNECTICUT.

G.   All notices required or permitted to be given by one party to the other
     under this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be sufficient if either
     delivered in person, or sent by overnight delivery service, or sent by
     registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the parties at
     the respective addresses set forth below, or to such other address as the
     party to receive the notice has designated by notice to the other party.
     Notice may also be sent via facsimile, but the date of notice shall be

         3.01 INITIAL  ELIGIBILITY.  Each Employee who is in active service with
the  Company on the first day of an  Enrollment  Period  preceding  an  Offering
Period and who is employed  by the Company on the date his or her  participation
in the Plan is to become  effective  shall be  eligible to  participate  in that
Offering  Period.  Persons  who are  not  Employees  shall  not be  eligible  to
participate in the Plan.

         3.02 RESTRICTIONS ON PARTICIPATION.  Notwithstanding  any  provision of
the Plan to the  contrary,  no  Employee  shall be granted an option to purchase
shares of Common Stock under the Plan:

                  (a) if,  immediately  after the grant, such Employee would own
stock and/or hold outstanding options to purchase stock possessing 5% or more of
the total combined  voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company
(for purposes of this paragraph,  the rules of Section  424(d) of the Code shall
apply in determining stock ownership of any Employee); or

                  (b) which  permits such  Employee's  rights to purchase  stock
under all employee stock purchase plans of the Company (but not including  stock
options  granted by the Company to which Section 423 of the Code does not apply)
to accrue at a rate  which  exceeds  $10,000 of fair  market  value of the stock
(determined  at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which
such option is outstanding at any time.

         3.03 COMMENCEMENT OF  PARTICIPATION.  An eligible Employee may become a

deductions and participation  shall commence on the first Offering  Commencement

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

termination of  participation in the Plan. Each participant in the Plan shall be
deemed  to  continue  participation  until  termination  of  the  Plan  or  such
participant's  earlier  termination  of  participation  in the Plan  pursuant to
Article VIII below.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                     STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN AND OFFERINGS

         4.01 STOCK SUBJECT TO SALE.  The Company,  or such entity acting at the
direction of the Company,  shall purchase shares of its Common Stock which shall
be made  available  for the  exercise  of options  under  this Plan.  Subject to
adjustment upon changes in  capitalization of the Company as provided in Section
12.04 hereof,  the maximum number of shares of the Company's  Common Stock which
shall be made  available  for sale  under the Plan  during  any one year  period
commencing on October 1 shall be 600,000  shares.  If, on a given Exercise Date,
the number of shares with respect to which  options are to be exercised  exceeds
the number of shares then available under the Plan under this Section 4.01, than
(i) the  Company  shall  make a pro  rata  allocation  of the  shares  remaining
available for purchase in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable  and as it
shall  determine  to be  equitable,  and  (ii)  the  remaining  balance  in each
participant's account will be refunded to the participant following the Offering
Period without interest.

         Additionally,  the  Company,  or any  entity  acting  on  behalf of the
Company, may not purchase shares of Company Common Stock for allocation pursuant
to the Plan if such purchase would, by reducing the number of outstanding shares
of Company stock,  cause Sodexho Alliance S.A. ("Sodexho  Alliance")  (including
any  person  related  to  Sodexho  Alliance  or that  could be treated as acting
pursuant to a plan or arrangement with Sodexho  Alliance) to own a 50 percent or
greater  interest  in the  outstanding  stock of the  Company as  determined  in
accordance with Section 355(e) of the Internal Revenue Code. A person is treated
as  "related"  to Sodexho  Alliance  for  purposes  of these  rules if shares of
Company  stock held by such person would be  attributed  to Sodexho  Alliance or
aggregated with Sodexho Alliance's holdings pursuant to Section  355(e)(4)(C) of
the  Internal  Revenue  Code.  If the  Company  inadvertently  purchases  shares
("Excess  Shares")  that cause  Sodexho  Alliance to own a 50 percent or greater
interest in the stock of the Company in violation of the foregoing provisions of
this  paragraph,  then,  notwithstanding  any other  provision of the Plan,  the
Exercise Date with respect to such Excess Shares shall be the date on which said
Excess  Shares  were  purchased,  and the  Company  shall be  treated  as having
purchased  such  Excess  Shares as agent for  participants  whose  options  were
exercised with respect to such Excess Shares.  All persons who were participants
in the Plan on the Exercise  Date with respect to such Excess Shares shall share
in the purchase of such Excess Shares in a manner consistent with the provisions
of Section 423(b)(5) of the Code.

         The Company shall not issue shares for allocation to participants under
this Plan.  The  maximum  number of shares that shall be  purchased  on the open
market for  allocation  to  participants  under  this Plan shall be 1.8  million
shares subject to the annual limits described above.

         4.02 OFFERING  PERIODS.  The Plan shall be  implemented  by consecutive
Offering Periods with a new Offering Period  commencing on the first Trading Day
on or after  January 1 and July 1 of each year,  or on such  other  dates as the
Committee  shall  determine,   and  continuing  thereafter  until  the  Plan  is
terminated.  The first  Offering  Period shall commence on the first Trading Day
that

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

occurs on or after  February 1, 2000.  The  Committee  shall  have  the power to
change the  duration of  Offering  Periods  (including  the  commencement  dates
thereof) with respect to future offerings without  stockholder  approval if such
change is announced at least five (5) days prior to the  scheduled  beginning of
the first Offering Period to be affected thereafter.

                                    ARTICLE V
                               PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS

         5.01 AMOUNT OF DEDUCTION.  The authorization  described in Section 3.03
will permit a participant  to elect payroll  deductions of any whole  percentage
from  three  percent  (3%)  through  eight  percent  (8%) of such  participant's
Compensation for each pay period during an Offering Period.

         5.02 PARTICIPANT'S   ACCOUNT.  All   payroll  deductions   made  for  a
participant  shall be credited to an account  established  for such  participant
under the Plan. A  participant  may not make any separate cash payment into such
account.

         5.03 CHANGES  IN  PAYROLL  DEDUCTIONS.  Subject  to  Section   8.01,  a
participant  may only reduce or increase future payroll  deductions  (within the
limits  described  in  Section  5.01)  prior  to the  Commencement  Date of each
Offering  Period.  The change may be made in a manner  prescribed by the Company
for such purpose.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                               GRANTING OF OPTION

         6.01 NUMBER OF OPTION SHARES. On the Offering Commencement Date of each
Offering Period,  each eligible  Employee  participating in such Offering Period
shall be granted an option to purchase  on the  Exercise  Date of such  Offering
Period  (at the  applicable  Option  Price)  up to a  number  of  shares  of the
Company's Common Stock determined by dividing such Employee's payroll deductions
accumulated  prior to such  Exercise  Date  and  retained  in the  Participant's
account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Option Price.  Exercise of the
option shall occur as provided in Section 7.01 below unless the  participant has
withdrawn  pursuant to Article VIII.  The option shall expire on the last day of
the Offering Period.

         6.02 OPTION  PRICE.  The option  price of Common Stock  purchased  with
payroll  deductions  made  during  any  Offering  (the  "Option  Price")  for  a
participant therein shall be the lower of:

                   (a) 100% of the closing  price of the Common Stock on (i) the
Offering  Commencement  Date for such  Offering  Period or (ii) if the  Offering
Commencement  Date is not a Trading  Day,  then the next  business day that is a
Trading Day; or

                  (b) 100% of the closing  price of the Common  Stock on (i) the
Exercise  Date for such  Offering  Period or (ii) if the Exercise  Date is not a
Trading Day, then the nearest prior business day that is a Trading Day.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                               EXERCISE OF OPTION

         7.01 AUTOMATIC  EXERCISE.  Each  Plan  participant's   option  for  the
purchase of stock with payroll  deductions  made during any Offering Period will
be deemed to have been exercised  automatically on the applicable  Exercise Date
for the  purchase of the number of full and  fractional  shares of Common  Stock
which the accumulated  payroll  deductions in the  participant's  account at the
time will  purchase  at the  applicable  Option  Price (but not in excess of the
number of  shares  for  which  outstanding  options  have  been  granted  to the
participant pursuant to Section 6.01).

         7.02 WITHDRAWAL  OF  ACCOUNT.  No  participant  in  the  Plan  shall be
entitled to withdraw any amount from the accumulated  payroll  deductions in his
or her account;  provided,  however,  that a participant's  accumulated  payroll
deductions  shall be refunded to the participant as and to the extent  specified
in Section 8.01 below after termination of such  participant's  participation in
the Plan.

         7.03 FRACTIONAL  SHARES.  Fractional  shares  of  Common  Stock will be
allocated to participants under the Plan.

         7.04 EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.  During  a  participant's  lifetime,  options
held by such participant shall be exercisable only by such participant.

         7.05 DELIVERY OF STOCK.  As promptly as practicable  after the Exercise
Date of each Offering  Period,  the Company will deliver to each  participant in
such Offering, as appropriate, the shares of Common Stock purchased therein upon
exercise of such  participant's  option.  The Company may deliver such shares in
certificated or book entry form, at the Company's sole election.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                   WITHDRAWAL

         8.01 IN GENERAL.  A participant may stop  participating  in the Plan at
any  time by  giving  notice  to the  Plan  Representative  in  accordance  with
procedures  prescribed by the Company.  Upon  processing of any such notice,  no
further  payroll  deductions  will be made from the  participant's  Compensation
during such Offering  Period or any future  Offering  Period.  Subsequent to the
receipt  of  notice of  withdrawal  by a  participant,  all  payroll  deductions
credited to the account of the  participant  will be returned to the participant
as soon as  administratively  practical following the end of the Offering Period
and such participant's options shall be automatically terminated.

         8.02 EFFECT ON SUBSEQUENT  PARTICIPATION.  A  participant's  withdrawal
from any  Offering  Period  will not have any  effect  upon  such  participant's
eligibility  to participate  in any  succeeding  Offering  Period for which such
participant  is  otherwise  eligible.  A  participant  may elect to resume  Plan
participation  for a  subsequent  Offering  Period by  re-enrolling  in the plan
during an Enrollment Period in accordance with Section 3.03 above.

         8.03 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.  Upon a participant's  ceasing to be an
Employee for any reason other than  retirement  prior to an Exercise Date, he or
she shall be deemed to have

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

elected to withdraw  from the Plan and the payroll  deductions  credited to such
participant's  account  during the  Offering  Period  shall be  returned to such
participant  following the Offering  Period or, in the case of his or her death,
to the  person  or  persons  entitled  thereto  under  Section  12.01,  and such
participant's option shall be automatically  terminated.  The preceding sentence
notwithstanding,  a  participant  who  receives  payment  in the form of regular
payroll checks,  in lieu of notice of termination of employment shall be treated
as continuing to be an Employee for the participant's  customary number of hours
per week of employment  during the period in which the participant is subject to
such  payment in lieu of notice.  For purposes of this  Section  8.03,  the term
"retirement"  shall mean the  termination of employment at or beyond age 55 with
at least 10 years of service with the Company.  If a participant  retires during
an offering  period,  the participant  shall have no further  obligation to make
further contributions to the Plan. All amounts contributed by the retiree during
the  Offering  Period  shall be  retained  in his account for the balance of the
Offering  Period  and  applied  as set  forth  in  Article  VII.  An  Employee's
termination of employment  shall be considered a retirement for purposes of this
Section 8.03 only if such termination occurs not more than three months prior to
the Exercise Date of that Offering Period.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                    INTEREST

         9.01 PAYMENT OF INTEREST.  No  interest  will be paid or allowed on any
money paid into the Plan or  credited to the  account of or  distributed  to any
Employee.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                      STOCK

         10.01 PARTICIPANT'S  INTEREST IN OPTION STOCK. No participant will have
any  interest  in shares of Common  Stock  covered  by any  option  held by such
participant  until such option has been  exercised  as provided in Section  7.01
above.

         10.02 REGISTRATION OF STOCK  CERTIFICATES.  Ownership of  the shares of
Common Stock purchased  through the Plan by a participant  will be registered in
the name of the participant.

         10.03 CONDITIONS  UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES.  Shares shall not be issued
with  respect to an option  unless the  exercise of such option and the issuance
and delivery of such shares  pursuant  thereto shall comply with all  applicable
provisions  of law,  domestic or foreign,  including,  without  limitation,  the
Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended,  the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,  and the requirements
of any stock  exchange  upon which the  shares may then be listed,  and shall be
further  subject to the approval of counsel for the company with respect to such
compliance.

         As a condition  to the  exercise of an option,  the Company may require
the person  exercising  such option to represent  and warrant at the time of any
such  exercise  that the  shares are being  purchased  only for  investment  and
without  any  present  intention  to sell or  distribute  such shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company,  such a representation is required by any of
the aforementioned applicable provisions of law.

         Transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable
conditions  of Rule  16b-3  or any  successor  provision  under  the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  If any

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

provision  of the Plan or action by the Board  fails to so  comply,  it shall be
deemed null and void to the extent  permitted by law and deemed advisable by the
Board.  Moreover, in the event the Plan does not include a provision required by
Rule 16b-3 to be stated  herein,  such  provision  (other  than one  relating to
eligibility  requirements,  or the price and amount of  awards)  shall be deemed
automatically to be incorporated by reference in the Plan.

         10.04 DISQUALIFYING  DISPOSITIONS.  To  the extent  that a  participant
realizes  ordinary  income in  connection  with a sale or other  transfer of any
shares of Common  Stock  purchased  under the Plan,  the  Company  may  withhold
amounts  needed to cover  applicable  taxes from any payments  otherwise due and
owing to the  participant  or from shares that would  otherwise be issued to the
participant  hereunder.  Any participant who sells or otherwise transfers shares
purchased  under the Plan within two years after the  beginning  of the Offering
Period in which the shares were  purchased  must within 30 days of such transfer
notify the Corporate Secretary of the Company in writing of such transfer.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                                 ADMINISTRATION

         11.01 COMMITTEE. The Compensation Policy Committee (the "Committee") of
the Board of Directors will  administer  the Plan and may prescribe  rules as to
the administration of the Plan, including, without limitation, rules relating to
the definition of Compensation as used herein.

         11.02 AUTHORITY OF COMMITTEE.  Subject to the express provisions of the
Plan, the Committee shall have plenary  authority in its discretion to interpret
and construe any and all provision of the Plan,  to adopt rules and  regulations
for  administering  the  Plan,  and to  make  all  other  determinations  deemed
necessary or advisable for administering the Plan. The Committee's determination
of the foregoing matters shall be conclusive.

         11.03 AMENDMENT  AND  TERMINATION.  The  Board of Directors  shall have
complete  power  and  authority  to  terminate  or amend  the Plan at any  time;
provided, however that the Board of Directors shall not, without the approval of
the  stockholders of the Company (i) increase the maximum number of shares which
are  available  to be  purchased  under  this Plan  during a Plan  Year  (except
pursuant  to  Section  12.04);  (ii) amend the  requirements  as to the class of
Employees  eligible to purchase  stock under the Plan and provided  further that
the  restrictions set forth in the second paragraph of Section 4.01 shall in any
and all events remain in effect through at least March 31, 2001. No termination,
modification,  or  amendment  of  the  Plan  may,  without  the  consent  of  an
participant  then having an option under the Plan to purchase  stock,  adversely
affect the rights of such participant  under such option.  In the event that the
Board of Directors  terminates the Plan effective  prior to the Exercise Date of
an Offering Period,  the Board shall shorten the Offering Period and establish a
new Exercise Date with at least ten days notice to Plan  participants.  Such new
Exercise Date shall be the termination date of the Plan.

         Without  stockholder  consent,  the Board (or the  Committee)  shall be
entitled to change the Offering  Periods,  limit the frequency  and/or number of
changes in the amount withheld during an Offering Period, establish the exchange
ratio  applicable  to amounts  withheld in a currency  other than U.S.  dollars,
permit payroll  withholding in excess of the amount  designated by a participant
in order to adjust  for  delays  or  mistakes  in the  Company's  processing  of
properly  completed  withholding  elections,  establish  reasonable  waiting and
adjustment  periods and/or  accounting  and crediting  procedures to ensure that
amounts  applied  toward  the  purchase  of Common  Stock  for

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

each   participant   properly   correspond   with  amounts   withheld  from  the
participant's  Compensation,  and establish such other limitations or procedures
as the Board (or the  Committee)  determines  in its sole  discretion  advisable
which  are  consistent  with the Plan.  No  action  by the Board (or  Committee)
pursuant  to the  preceding  sentence  shall be deemed to  adversely  affect the
rights of any participant.

                                   ARTICLE XII
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         12.01 DESIGNATION  OF  BENEFICIARY.  A  participant  may file with the
Corporate  Benefits  Department  of  the  Company  a  written  designation  of a
beneficiary  who is to  receive  any  shares of Common  Stock  and/or  cash,  as
applicable,  under the Plan upon the  participant's  death.  Such designation of
beneficiary  may be changed by the  participant at any time by written notice to
the Corporate Benefits  Department.  Upon the death of a participant and receipt
by the Company of proof of identity and existence at the participant's  death of
a beneficiary  validly designated by the participant under the Plan, and subject
to Article VIII above concerning  withdrawal from the Plan, the Company,  or its
agent,   shall  deliver  such  shares  of  Common  Stock  and/or  cash  to  such
beneficiary.  In the event of the death of a  participant  lacking a beneficiary
validly   designated  under  the  Plan  who  is  living  at  the  time  of  such
participant's  death,  the Company,  or its agent,  shall deliver such shares of
Common Stock and/or cash to the executor or  administrator  of the estate of the
participant,  or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the
knowledge  of the  Company),  may  deliver  such  Common  Stock  and/or  cash in
accordance with the following hierarchy:

     1.       the surviving spouse
     2.       children
     3.       parents
     4.       brothers or sisters

Deliverance of common stock and/or cash is made in each case without any further
liability  of  the  Company  whatsoever  under  or  relating  to  the  Plan.  No
beneficiary  shall,  prior to the death of the participant by whom he or she has
been designated,  acquire any interest in the shares of Common Stock and/or cash
credited to the participant under the Plan.

         12.02 TRANSFERABILITY.  Neither  payroll  deductions  credited  to  any
participant's account nor any option or rights with regard to the exercise of an
option or to receive  Common Stock under the Plan may be assigned,  transferred,
pledged,  or otherwise  disposed of in any way by the participant  other than by
will or the laws of descent and  distribution.  Any such  attempted  assignment,
transfer,  pledge or other disposition shall be without effect,  except that the
Company may, in its  discretion,  treat such act as an election to withdraw from
participation in the Plan in accordance with Section 8.01.

         12.03 USE OF FUNDS.  All  payroll  deductions  received  or held by the
Company  under  the Plan may be  commingled  with  other  funds  and used by the
Company  for any  corporate  purpose.  The  Company  shall not be  obligated  to
segregate such payroll deductions.

         12.04 ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, DISSOLUTION,
LIQUIDATION, MERGER OR ASSET SALE.

          (a) CHANGES IN  CAPITALIZATION.  Subject to any required action by the
stockholders of the Company,  the maximum number of shares each  participant may
purchase per Offering  Period,  as well as the price per share and the number of
shares of Common Stock  covered by each option under the Plan which have not yet
been exercised shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in
the  number of  issued  shares of Common  Stock  resulting  from a stock  split,
reverse stock split,  stock  dividend,  combination or  reclassification  of the
Common  Stock,  or any other  increase  or  decrease  in the number of shares of
Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided,
however, that conversion of any convertible  securities of the Company shall not
be  deemed  to have been  "effected  without  receipt  of  consideration".  Such
adjustment shall be made by the Committee,  whose  determination in that respect
shall be final, binding and conclusive.  Except as expressly provided herein, no
issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class,  and no purchase by the
Company of its Common Stock for any purpose unrelated to the Plan, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class,  shall affect,  and no adjustment
by reason  thereof  shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares
of Common Stock subject to an option.

          (b)  DISSOLUTION  OR  LIQUIDATION.   In  the  event  of  the  proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company,  the Offering Period then in progress
shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the "New Exercise Date"), and
shall  terminate   immediately  prior  to  the  consummation  of  such  proposed
dissolution or  liquidation,  unless  provided  otherwise by the Board.  The New
Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company's proposed  dissolution or
liquidation.  The Committee,  or its delegate,  shall notify each participant in
writing,  at least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise  Date,  that
the  Exercise  Date for the  participant's  option  has been  changed to the New
Exercise Date and that the participant's option shall be exercised automatically
on the New  Exercise  Date,  unless  prior  to such  date  the  participant  has
withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof.

          (c) MERGER OR ASSET  SALE.  In the event of a proposed  sale of all or
substantially  all of the assets of the  Company,  or the merger of the  Company
with or into another corporation, each outstanding option shall be assumed or an
equivalent  option  substituted  by the  successor  corporation  or a Parent  or
Subsidiary  of the  successor  corporation.  In the  event  that  the  successor
corporation  refuses to assume or substitute for the option, the Offering Period
then in progress  shall be shortened  by setting a new  Exercise  Date (the "New
Exercise Date"). The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company's
proposed sale or merger. The Board shall notify each participant in writing,  at
least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise  Date,  that the Exercise
Date for the participant's  option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and
that the  participant's  option  shall  be  exercised  automatically  on the New
Exercise Date,  unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the
Offering Period.

         12.05 EFFECTIVE DATE. The Plan shall become  effective as of January 1,
2000,  subject to  approval by the holders of a majority of the shares of Common
Stock  present  and  represented  at  any  special  or  annual  meeting  of  the
shareholders  of the Company  duly held within 12 months  after  adoption of the
Plan. If the Plan is not so approved, the Plan shall not become effective.

         12.06 NO EMPLOYMENT  RIGHTS. The Plan does not, directly or indirectly,
create in any person any right with respect to continuation of employment by the
Company or any of its  Subsidiaries,  and it shall not be deemed to interfere in
any way with the Company's or any Subsidiary's right to terminate,  or otherwise
modify, any employee's employment at any time.

         12.07 EFFECT OF PLAN. The  provisions of the Plan shall,  in accordance
with its terms,  be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, all successors of
each Employee  participating in the Plan,  including,  without limitation,  such
Employee's estate and the executors,  administrators or trustees thereof,  heirs
and legatees,  and any receiver,  trustee in  bankruptcy  or  representative  of
creditors of such Employee.

         12.08 GOVERNING LAW. The  law of the  State of Maryland will govern all
matters  relating  to this Plan except to the extent  superseded  by the federal
laws of the United States.
