THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT (this "Amendment") is executed
on and to be effective as of July 31, 2000, by and between ACQUIPORT
DFWIP, INC., a Delaware corporation, as landlord ("Lessor") and SPORT
SUPPLY GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation, as tenant ("Lessee").

			    R E C I T A L S

WHEREAS, Merit Investment Partners, L.P. (predecessor in interest to
Lessor) ("Merit") and Lessee entered into that certain  Lease Agreement
dated July 28, 1989, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease
dated as of July 13, 1998, by and between Lessor and Lessee (as amended,
the "Lease"), pursuant to which Lessee leases from Lessor certain real
property more particularly described on Exhibit A to the Lease, together
with the improvements thereon, consisting of a 137,670 square foot
building located at 1901 Diplomat, Farmers Branch, Texas (the
"Premises"); and

WHEREAS, Lessee desires to extend the term of the Lease, and Lessor and
Lessee desire to set forth the terms and conditions upon which the term
of the Lease will be extended.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Lessor and Lessee hereby
agree that the Lease should be, and hereby is, amended as follows:

1.   Lease Term.  The term of the Lease is hereby extended to December
31, 2004.  The period of time from August 1, 2001 through December 31,
2004 is referred to herein as the "Extended Term".

2.   Minimum Fixed Rent.  The minimum fixed rent, as such term is used
in the Lease, for the Extended Term, shall be equal to $43,021.88 per
month.  The minimum fixed rent from August 1, 2000 through July 31, 2001
shall be reduced to $43,021.88 per month.  The minimum fixed rent for
the period prior to August 1, 2000 shall remain as currently set forth
in the Lease.

3.   Improvements to Premises.  Lessee shall take the Premises in its
"as-is" condition for the Extended Term except for certain Leasehold
Improvements (herein so called) to the Premises which shall be completed
in accordance with the specifications attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
<PAGE>

"Approved Plans"), which have been approved by both Lessor and Lessee.
Lessor shall cause the Leasehold Improvements to be installed or
constructed in accordance with the Approved Plans by Lessor's
contractor.  So long as no Event of Default (or event which with notice
or lapse of time could become an Event of Default) has occurred under
the Lease, Lessor agrees to provide Lessee an allowance equal to One
Hundred Fifty-Three Thousand One Hundred Nineteen and No/100 Dollars
($153,119.00) (the "Improvement Allowance"), which allowance is to be
used solely for completion of the Leasehold Improvements in accordance
with the Approved Plans, and an additional allowance equal to Three
Thousand Two Hundred and No/100  Dollars ($3,200.00) (the "Architectural
Allowance"), which allowance is to be used solely for space planning and
design services for the Premises.  In the event that any alterations or
modifications to the Premises are required in order to comply with
applicable law, including, without limitation, the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, or the State of Texas equivalent
laws and regulations, the cost of any such alterations or modifications

shall be satisfied out of the Improvement Allowance.  The cost of the
Leasehold Improvements and the space planning and design fees is to be
paid by Lessor out of the Improvement Allowance and the Architectural
Allowance, respectively.

Any completed work (labor or materials) outside the scope of the
Approved Plans or the cost of which is in excess of the Improvement
Allowance or the Architectural Allowance, as the case may be, shall be
at Lessee's sole cost and will be billed to Lessee by Lessor and will be
due and payable within ten (10) days after Lessee's receipt of an
invoice therefor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee will not be
liable for work outside the scope of the Approved Plans or excess costs
over the amount of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural
Allowance unless Lessee has consented in writing to such work outside
the scope of the Approved Plans or excess costs prior to the
commencement of such work or the incurring of such excess costs.  Any
portion of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance
remaining upon the completion of the Leasehold Improvements shall be
deemed forfeited by Lessee.

Lessor further acknowledges and agrees that Section 4.07 of the Lease is
hereby amended to provide that Lessee shall not be required to surrender
<PAGE>
possession of the Premises to Lessor "in the same condition as when
received", but rather shall be entitled to surrender possession of the
Premises in the same condition as exists upon the completion of the
Leasehold Improvements described in Paragraph 3 above, subject to any
and all other requirements set forth in Section 4.07 of the Lease.

4.   Lessor's Repairs.  Section 4.03 is hereby modified by the addition
of the following language at the end of the first sentence:

"; provided, however, that Lessor shall repair and maintain the
structural soundness of the roof (including any necessary replacement as
determined by Lessor), exterior walls (excluding windows, window glass,
plate glass and doors), and foundation of the Premises,  excluding any
repair or maintenance to such items (whether structural or
nonstructural) resulting from or caused in whole or in part by the
negligence or misconduct of Lessee, its agents, employees or
contractors."

5.   Insurance.  Section 5.04 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its
entirety and the following is hereby substituted therefor:

"Lessee shall keep in force throughout the term of this Lease:  (a) a
Commercial General Liability insurance policy or policies to protect the
Lessor Entities (as hereinafter defined) against any liability to the
public or to any invitee of Lessee or a Lessor Entity incidental to the
use of or resulting from any accident occurring in or upon the Premises
with a limit of not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and not less
than $2,000,000.00 in the annual aggregate, covering bodily injury and
property damage liability and $1,000,000.00 products/completed
operations aggregate; (b) Business Auto Liability covering owned, non-
owned and hired vehicles with a limit of not less than $1,000,000.00 per
accident; (c) insurance protecting against liability under Worker's
Compensation Laws with limits at least as required by statute; (d)
Employers Liability with limits of $500,000 each accident, $500,000
disease policy limit, $500,000 disease--each employee; and (e) Business
Interruption Insurance with limit of liability representing loss of at
least approximately six months of income.  In addition, Lessee shall
maintain a policy or policies of insurance covering "all risks" perils
to the extent of the full replacement cost of the Premises and Lessee's
leasehold improvements and personal property situated therein as of the
date of the loss (provided that the replacement cost for the building
itself shall be provided by Lessor to Lessee from time to time and the
<PAGE>
replacement cost of Lessee's leasehold improvements,  fixtures,
inventory, and other business personal property situated in or about the
Premises shall be determined by Lessee), with a deductible or self
insured retention of no more than $50,000.00.  The term "Lessor
Entities", as used herein, shall mean Lessor, Lessor's investment
manager, and the trustees, boards of directors, officers, general partners,
beneficiaries, stockholders, employees and agents of each of
them.

Each of the aforesaid policies shall (a) be provided at Lessee's
expense; (b) name the Lessor and the building management company, if
any, as additional insureds; (c) be issued by an insurance company with
a minimum Best's rating of "A:VII" during the term of this Lease
(provided that if the rate of any insurance company in compliance at the
time of issuance of any policy thereafter has a reduction in its rating
bel rating
below a Best's rating of "A:VII", Lessee shall be provided ninety (90)
days to obtain a replacement policy with an insurance company with a
Best's rating of "A:VII"); and (d) provide that said insurance shall not
be cancelled unless thirty (30) days prior written notice (ten days for
non-payment of premium) shall have been given to Lessor; and said policy
or policies or certificates thereof shall be delivered to Lessor by
Lessee upon the commencement date and at least thirty (30) days prior to
each renewal of said insurance.

Whenever Lessee shall undertake any alterations, additions or
improvements in, to or about the Premises ("Work"), the aforesaid
insurance protection must extend to and include injuries to persons and
damage to property arising in connection with such Work, without
limitation including liability under any applicable structural work act,
and such other insurance as Lessor shall require; and the policies of or
certificates evidencing such insurance must be delivered to Lessor prior
to the commencement of any such Work."

6.   Indemnification.  Section 6.01 of the Lease is hereby deleted in
its entirety and the following is hereby substituted therefor:

"None of the Lessor Entities shall be liable and Lessee hereby waives
all claims against them for any damage to any property or any injury to
any person in or about the Premises by or from any cause whatsoever
(including without limiting the foregoing, rain or water leakage of any
character from the roof, windows, walls, basement, pipes, plumbing works
<PAGE>
or appliances, the Premises not being in good condition or repair, gas,
fire, oil, electricity or theft), except that Lessor will protect,
indemnify and hold the Lessee Entities (as hereinafter defined) harmless
from such claims to the extent caused by or arising from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or its agents, employees or
contractors or any breach or default on the part of Lessor in the
performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of Lessor to be
performed pursuant to this Lease.  Lessee shall protect, indemnify and
hold the Lessor Entities harmless from and against any and all loss,
claims, liability or costs (including court costs and reasonable
attorney's fees) incurred by reason of (a) any damage to any property
(including but not limited to property of any Lessor Entity) or any
injury (including but not limited to death) to any person occurring in,
or about the Premises to the extent that such injury or damage shall be
caused by or arise from any actual or alleged act, neglect, fault, or
omission by or of Lessee, its agents, servants, employees, invitees, or
visitors to meet any standards imposed by any duty with respect to the
injury or damage; (b) the conduct or management of any work or thing
whatsoever done by the Lessee in or about the Premises or from
transactions of the Lessee concerning the Premises; (c) Lessee's failure
to comply with any and all governmental laws, ordinances and regulations
applicable to the condition or use of the Premises or its occupancy; or
(d) any breach or default on the part of Lessee in the performance of
any covenant or agreement on the part of Lessee to be performed pursuant
to this Lease.  The provisions of  this Section shall survive the
termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability
accruing prior to such termination.  The term "Lessee Entities", as used
herein, shall mean Lessee and its directors, officers, general partners,
stockholders, employees and agents."

7.   Notice.  The address of Lessor set forth in Section 9.16 of the
Lease is hereby modified to be Acquiport DFWIP, Inc., 1406 Halsey Way,
Suite 110, Carrollton, Texas 75007.  The address of Lessee set forth in
Section 9.16 of the Lease is hereby modified to be Sport Supply Group,
Inc., 1901 Diplomat Drive, Farmers Branch, Texas 75234, Attention:
President.

8.   Hazardous Materials.  The following is hereby added to the Lease as
Article 12:

		 "ARTICLE 12.  HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.

Lessee shall not, and shall not direct, suffer or permit any of its
agents, contractors, employees, licensees or invitees to at any time
handle, use, manufacture, store or dispose of in or about the Premises
<PAGE>
any flammables, explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous wastes or
materials, toxic wastes or materials, or other similar substances,
petroleum products or derivatives or any substance subject to regulation
by or under any federal, state and local laws and ordinances relating to
the protection of  the environment or the keeping, use or disposition of
environmentally hazardous materials, substances, or wastes, presently in
effect or hereafter adopted, all amendments to any of them, and all
rules and regulations issued pursuant to any of such laws or ordinances
(collectively "Environmental Laws") (all of such items being
collectively referred to as "Hazardous Materials"), nor shall Lessee
suffer or permit any Hazardous Materials to be used in any manner not
fully in compliance with all Environmental Laws, in the Premises or
appurtenant land or allow the environment to become contaminated with
any Hazardous Materials.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may (a)
store and use on the Premises those items described on Exhibit B
attached hereto in the quantities set forth next to such items, and (b)
handle, store, use or dispose of products containing small quantities of
Hazardous Materials (such as aerosol cans containing insecticides, toner
for copiers, paints, paint thinner, paint remover and the like) to the
extent customary and necessary for the use of the Premises for general
office purposes; provided that Lessee shall always handle, store, use,
and dispose of any such Hazardous Materials in a safe and lawful manner
and never allow such Hazardous Materials to contaminate the Premises,
appurtenant land, or the environment.  Lessee shall protect, defend,
indemnify and hold each and all of the Lessor Entities harmless from and
against any and all loss, claims, liability or costs (including court
costs and reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by reason of any actual
or asserted failure of Lessee to fully comply with all applicable
Environmental Laws, or the presence, handling, use or disposition in or
from the Premises of any Hazardous Materials (even though permissible
under all applicable Environmental Laws or the provisions of this
Lease), or by reason of any actual or asserted failure of Lessee to
keep, observe, or perform any provision of this Article."

9.   Renewal Options.  Any and all renewal options contained in the
Lease are hereby deleted in their entirety, and in lieu thereof, Lessee
shall have, at its option (the "Renewal Option"), the right to renew and
extend this Lease for one term of five (5) years (the "Renewal Term").
The Renewal Term shall commence immediately upon the expiration of the
Extended Term by Lessee's giving written notice thereof to Lessor no
earlier than nine (9) months, and no later than six (6) months, prior to
the expiration of the Extended Term.  Once Lessee shall exercise any
<PAGE>
Renewal Option, Lessee may not thereafter revoke such exercise, except
as expressly set forth below.  Lessee shall not have the right to
exercise the Renewal Option at a time that an Event of Default (or an
event which with notice and/or lapse of time could become an Event of
Default) under this Lease has occurred and is continuing.  Lessee's
failure to exercise timely the Renewal Option for any reason whatsoever
shall conclusively be deemed a waiver thereof.  At Lessor's option,
Lessor may adjust the minimum fixed rent for the Renewal Term at an
annual rate equal to the Fair Market Value Rate (as hereinafter defined)
as of the commencement of the Renewal Term.  As used in this Lease,
"Fair Market Value Rate" shall mean the fair market value rental rate
per square foot of rentable area per year in effect at the commencement
of the Renewal Term for comparable tenants taking comparable space in
comparable conditions under comparable terms in comparable buildings in
the same rental market (hereinafter called "Comparable Buildings");
provided, however, that in no event shall the minimum fixed rent for the
Renewal Term be less than ninety percent (90%) of the minimum fixed rent
for the last twelve (12) months of the Extended Term.  It is also agreed
and understood that the Fair Market Value Rate shall include: (a) rent;
and (b) rental operating expenses, property tax, and utility and expense
adjustments that are being included as part of the terms and conditions
of industrial tenant leases for comparable tenants in Comparable
Buildings as of the time of determination of the Fair Market Value Rate.
Lessor shall advise Lessee within twenty (20) days after Lessee
exercises the Renewal Option of the Fair Market Value Rate which shall
be in effect as of the commencement date of the Renewal Term.

Lessee shall then have fifteen (15) days to notify Lessor of its
acceptance or rejection of the Fair Market Value Rate for the Renewal
Term and if rejecting the Fair Market Value Rate, of its election to
proceed using third-party appraisers, as hereinafter described.  In the
event Lessee fails to so notify Lessor within such fifteen (15) day
period or if Lessee rejects the Fair Market Value Rate and does not
elect to proceed using third-party appraisers, Lessee shall be deemed to
have rejected the Fair Market Value Rate proposed by Lessor and to have
rejected its right to use third-party appraisers to determine the Fair
Market Value Rate.  Notwithstanding the prohibition on Lessee's right to
revoke its exercise of the Renewal Option, in the event Lessee rejects
(or is deemed to have rejected) the Fair Market Value Rate proposed by
Lessor  and rejects (or is deemed to have rejected) its right to use
third-party appraisers, Lessee shall be deemed to have revoked the
Renewal Option, and the Renewal Option shall be deemed null and void and
<PAGE>
of no further force or effect.  If Lessee notifies Lessor of its
election to appoint third-party appraisers to determine the Fair Market
Value Rate within the time period set forth above, Lessee may no longer
revoke the respective Renewal Option.  Lessor and Lessee shall each
appoint, by notice to the other within ten (10) business days after
Lessee's election to use third-party appraisers, a qualified
disinterested MAI appraiser doing business in the area.  If the
appraisers so appointed are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Value
Rate within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second
appraiser, they shall, within ten (10) business days thereafter appoint
a third disinterested MAI appraiser and the majority shall decide upon
the Fair Market Value Rate for the Renewal Term, such decision to be
rendered within forty-five (45) days after the appointment of the third
appraiser.  If a majority are unable to agree within the allotted time,
the two determinations of Fair Market Value Rate nearest to one another
in amount shall be added together, divided by two (2), and the resulting
quotient shall be the Fair Market Value Rate.  If either party fails to
appoint its appraiser within the time period provided, the determination
of the Fair Market Value Rate shall be made by the other appraiser alone
and if the two appraisers are unable to agree upon a third appraiser
within the time period and the parties are unable to mutually agree
within ten (l0) business days thereafter upon a third appraiser, either
party may request the President or equivalent officer of the Dallas
Texas Chapter of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or if
none, an equivalent body, to appoint the same.  Lessor and Lessee shall
each pay the cost of the appraiser appointed by each such party, and
Lessor and Lessee shall share equally the expense of the third
appraiser, if any.  The determination of the appraisers shall be final
and binding and shall be enforceable by court order.

 Lessee shall take the Premises "as is" for the Renewal Term and Lessor
shall have no obligation to make any improvements or alterations to the
Premises.  Except as set forth in this paragraph, the leasing of the
Premises for the Renewal Term shall be upon the same terms and
conditions as the leasing of the Premises for the Extended Term and
shall be upon and subject to all of the provisions of this Lease.  Any
Renewal Option granted to Lessee under this paragraph shall be personal
to Lessee and shall not be transferred, encumbered, or assigned by
Lessee or in any manner transferred to, or exercised by, any subtenant
of Lessee.
<PAGE>

10.  Brokerage Commissions.  Each of the parties hereto represents and
warrants to the other that it has not dealt with any broker or finder in
connection with this Lease except Cushman & Wakefield of Texas, Inc. and
RREEF Management Company.  Lessor acknowledges that the commissions of
Cushman & Wakefield of Texas, Inc. and RREEF Management Company payable
in connection with this Amendment will be paid by Lessor, and Lessor
agrees to indemnify and hold Lessee harmless from and against any claims
by such brokers for such commissions.

11.  Effectiveness.  Except as modified herein, all other terms and
conditions of the  Lease shall remain unchanged and shall continue in
full force and effect.

12.  Governing Law.  The laws of the State of Texas and of the United
States of America shall govern the rights, remedies, and duties of the
parties hereto and the validity, construction, enforcement, and
interpretation hereof.

13.  Successors and Assigns.  This Amendment shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns.

14.  Illegality.  If any provision of this Amendment is held to be
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws, such
provision shall be fully severable; this Amendment shall be construed
and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had
never comprised a part hereof; and the remaining provisions hereof shall
remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance
herefrom.

15.  Limited Liability.  Redress for any claims against Lessor under
this Amendment or the Lease shall only be made against Lessor to the
extent of Lessor's interest in the Premises, including, to the extent
received after a final judgment against Lessor has been obtained by
Lessee, the proceeds of any sale or refinancing of Lessor's interest in
the Premises (net of any actual costs incurred in connection therewith).
The obligations of Lessor under this Amendment and the Lease shall not
be personally binding on, nor shall any resort be had to the private
properties of, any of its trustees or board of directors and officers,
as the case may be, the general partners thereof, or any beneficiaries,
stockholders, employees or agents of Lessor, or the investment manager.

                                                                     -----------

                        WORKGROUP TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                  1996 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN

    1.    Purpose.  This Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, to be known as
          -------
the Amended and Restated 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan
(hereinafter, this "Plan") is intended to promote the interests of Workgroup
Technology Corporation (hereinafter, the "Company") by providing an inducement
to obtain and retain the services of qualified persons who are not employees or
officers of the Company to serve as members of its Board of Directors (the
"Board").

    2.    Available Shares.  The total number of shares of Common Stock,
          ----------------
par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") for which options
may be granted under this Plan shall not exceed 300,000 shares, subject to
adjustment in accordance with paragraph 10 of this Plan.  Shares subject to this
Plan are authorized but unissued shares or shares that were once issued and
subsequently reacquired by the Company.  If any options granted under this Plan
are surrendered before exercise or lapse without exercise, in whole or in part,
the shares reserved therefor shall continue to be available under this Plan.

    3.    Administration.  This Plan shall be administered by the Board or
          --------------
by a committee appointed by the Board (the "Committee").  In the event the Board
fails to appoint or refrains from appointing a Committee, the Board shall have
all power and authority to administer this Plan.  In such event, the word
"Committee" wherever used herein shall be deemed to mean the Board.  The
Committee shall, subject to the provisions of the Plan, have the power to
construe this Plan, to determine all questions hereunder, and to adopt and amend
such rules and regulations for the administration of this Plan as it may deem
desirable.  No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any
action or determination made in good faith with respect to this Plan or any
option granted under it.

    4.    Automatic Grant of Options. Subject to the availability of shares
          --------------------------
under this Plan,

          (a) each person who is elected or appointed a member of the Board on
or after June 1, 2000 and who is not an employee or officer of the Company (a
"Non-Employee Director") shall be automatically granted on the later of (i) the
date on which the stockholders of the Company approve the amendment and
restatement of the Plan or (ii) the date such person is first elected to the
Board, without further action by the Board, an option to purchase 48,000 shares
of the Common Stock, and

          (b) each person who is a member of the Board who is a Non-Employee
Director on the date upon which his most recently granted option to purchase
shares of Common Stock becomes fully vested shall be automatically granted on
each such date an option to purchase 48,000 shares of the Common Stock.

The options to be granted under this paragraph 4 shall be the only options ever
to be granted at any time to such member under this Plan.

    5.    Option Price.  The purchase price of the stock covered by an
          ------------
option granted pursuant to this Plan shall be 100% of the fair market value of
such shares on the day the option is granted.  The

<PAGE>

option price will be subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph 10 of this Plan. For purposes of this Plan, if, at the time an option
is granted under the Plan, the Company's Common Stock is publicly traded, "fair
market value" shall be determined as of the last business day for which the
prices or quotes discussed in this sentence are available prior to the date such
option is granted and shall mean (i) the average (on that date) of the high and
low prices of the Common Stock on the principal national securities exchange on
which the Common Stock is traded, if the Common Stock is then traded on a
national securities exchange; or (ii) the last reported sale price (on that
date) of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market, if the Common Stock is
not then traded on a national securities exchange; or (iii) the closing bid
price (or average of bid prices) last quoted (on that date) by an established
quotation service for over-the-counter securities, if the Common Stock is not
reported on the Nasdaq National Market List. However, if the Common Stock is not
publicly traded at the time an option is granted under the Plan, "fair market
value" shall be deemed to be the fair value of the Common Stock as determined by
the Committee after taking into consideration all factors which it deems
appropriate, including, without limitation, recent sale and offer prices of the
Common Stock in private transactions negotiated at arm's length.

    6.    Period of Option.  Unless sooner terminated in accordance with
          ----------------
the provisions of paragraph 8 of this Plan, an option granted hereunder shall
expire on the date which is ten (10) years after the date of grant of the
option.

    7.    (a)  Vesting of Shares and Non-Transferability of Options.
               ----------------------------------------------------
Options granted under this Plan shall not be exercisable until they become
vested.  Options granted under this Plan shall vest in the optionee and thus
become exercisable in twelve (12) equal quarterly installments beginning three
months from the date of grant provided, that, in the event that an optionee's
                              --------  ----
term as a director expires at, and such optionee is not reelected and does not
continue to serve as a director following, the date of an annual meeting of
stockholders within the 90-day period preceding any vesting date, the
installment of such option corresponding to such vesting date shall vest on the
date of such meeting.

    The number of shares as to which options may be exercised shall be
cumulative, so that once the option shall become exercisable as to any shares it
shall continue to be exercisable as to said shares, until expiration or
termination of the option as provided in this Plan.

          (b)  Non-transferability.  Any option granted pursuant to this Plan
               -------------------
shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order and shall be
exercisable during the optionee's lifetime only by him or her.

    8.    Termination of Option Rights.
          ----------------------------

          (a)  Except as otherwise specified in the agreement relating to an
option, in the event an optionee ceases to be a member of the Board for any
reason other than death or permanent disability, any then unexercised portion of
options granted to such optionee shall, to the extent not then vested,
immediately terminate and become void; any portion of an option which is then
vested but has not been exercised at the time the optionee so ceases to be a
member of the Board may be exercised, to the extent it is then vested, by the
optionee within 90 days of the date the optionee ceased to be a member of the
Board; and all options shall terminate after such 90 days have expired.

          (b)  In the event that an optionee ceases to be a member of the Board
by reason of his or her death or permanent disability, any option granted to
such optionee shall be immediately and automatically accelerated and become
fully vested and all unexercised options shall be exercisable by the

<PAGE>

optionee (or by the optionee's personal representative, heir or legatee, in the
event of death) for a period of one year thereafter.

    9.    Exercise of Option.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this
          ------------------
Plan and the option agreements, an option granted hereunder shall, to the extent
then exercisable, be exercisable in whole or in part by giving written notice to
the Company by mail or in person addressed to its principal executive offices,
stating the number of shares with respect to which the option is being
exercised, accompanied by payment in full for such shares.  Payment may be (a)
in United States dollars in cash or by check, (b) in whole or in part in shares
of the Common Stock of the Company already owned by the person or persons
exercising the option or shares subject to the option being exercised (subject
to such restrictions and guidelines as the Board may adopt from time to time),
valued at fair market value determined in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph 5 or (c) consistent with applicable law, through the delivery of an
assignment to the Company of a sufficient amount of the proceeds from the sale
of the Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the option and an authorization to
the broker or selling agent to pay that amount to the Company, which sale shall
be at the participant's direction at the time of exercise.  There shall be no
such exercise at any one time as to fewer than one hundred (100) shares or all
of the remaining shares then purchasable by the person or persons exercising the
option, if fewer than one hundred (100) shares.  The Company's transfer agent
shall, on behalf of the Company, prepare a certificate or certificates
representing such shares acquired pursuant to exercise of the option, shall
register the optionee as the owner of such shares on the books of the Company
and shall cause the fully executed certificate(s) representing such shares to be
delivered to the optionee as soon as practicable after payment of the option
price in full.  The holder of an option shall not have any rights of a
stockholder with respect to the shares covered by the option, except to the
extent that one or more certificates for such shares shall be delivered to him
or her upon the due exercise of the option.

    10.   Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization and Other Events.
          -----------------------------------------------------------
Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, an optionee's rights with
respect to options granted to him or her hereunder shall be adjusted as
hereinafter provided:

          (a)  Stock Dividends and Stock Splits.  If the shares of Common Stock
               --------------------------------
shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if
the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend on its
outstanding Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon
the exercise of options shall be appropriately increased or decreased
proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the purchase price
per share to reflect such subdivision, combination or stock dividend.

          (b)  Recapitalization Adjustments.  If the Company is to be
               ----------------------------
consolidated with or acquired by another entity in a merger, sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets or otherwise, each option granted
under this plan which is outstanding but unvested as of the effective date of
such event shall become exercisable in full twenty (20) days prior to the
effective date of such event.  In the event of a reorganization,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or any other change in the corporate
structure or shares of the Company, to the extent permitted by Rule 16b-3 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, adjustments in the number and kind of
shares authorized by this Plan and in the number and kind of shares covered by,
and in the option price of outstanding options under this Plan necessary to
maintain the proportionate interest of the optionee and preserve, without
exceeding, the value of such option, shall be made.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no such adjustment shall be made which would, within the meaning of
any applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
constitute a modification, extension or renewal of any Option or a grant of
additional benefits to the holder of an Option.
<PAGE>

          (c)  Issuances of Securities.  Except as expressly provided herein, no
               -----------------------
issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, 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
subject to options.  No adjustments shall be made for dividends paid in cash or
in property other than securities of the Company.

          (d)  Adjustments.  Upon the happening of any of the foregoing events,
               -----------
the class and aggregate number of shares set forth in paragraph 2 of this Plan
that are subject to options which previously have been or subsequently may be
granted under this Plan shall also be appropriately adjusted to reflect such
events.  The Board shall determine the specific adjustments to be made under
this paragraph 10 and its determination shall be conclusive.

    11.   Restrictions on Issuance of Shares.  Notwithstanding the
          ----------------------------------
provisions of paragraphs 4 and 9 of this Plan, the Company shall have no
obligation to deliver any certificate or certificates upon exercise of an option
until one of the following conditions shall be satisfied:

               (i)  The issuance of shares with respect to which the option has
     been exercised is at the time of the issue of such shares effectively
     registered under applicable Federal and state securities laws as now in
     force or hereafter amended; or

               (ii) Counsel for the Company shall have given an opinion that the
     issuance of such shares is exempt from registration under Federal and state
     securities laws as now in force or hereafter amended; and the Company has
     complied with all applicable laws and regulations with respect thereto,
     including without limitation all regulations required by any stock exchange
     upon which the Company's outstanding Common Stock is then listed.

    12.   Legend on Certificates.  The certificates representing shares
          ----------------------
issued pursuant to the exercise of an option granted hereunder shall carry such
appropriate legend, and such written instructions shall be given to the
Company's transfer agent, as may be deemed necessary or advisable by counsel to
the Company in order to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act of
1933 or any state securities laws.

    13.   Representation of Optionee.  If requested by the Company, the
          --------------------------
optionee shall deliver to the Company written representations and warranties
upon exercise of the option that are necessary to show compliance with Federal
and state securities laws, including representations and warranties to the
effect that a purchase of shares under the option is made for investment and not
with a view to their distribution (as that term is used in the Securities Act of
1933).

    14.   Option Agreement.  Each option granted under the provisions of
          ----------------
this Plan shall be evidenced by an option agreement, which agreement shall be
duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company and by the optionee to whom
such option is granted.  The option agreement shall contain such terms,
provisions and conditions not inconsistent with this Plan as may be determined
by the officer executing it.

    15.   Termination and Amendment of Plan.  Options may no longer be
          ---------------------------------
granted under this Plan after January 26, 2006, and this Plan shall terminate
when all options granted or to be granted hereunder are no longer outstanding.
The Board may at any time terminate this Plan or make such modification or
amendment thereof as it deems advisable; provided, however, that the Board may
                                         --------  -------
not, without approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy and voting on such
matter at a meeting, (a) increase the maximum number of shares for which
<PAGE>

options may be granted under this Plan (except by adjustment pursuant to Section
10), (b) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility to participate in
this Plan, (c) materially increase benefits accruing to option holders under
this Plan or (d) amend this Plan in any manner which would cause Rule 16b-3
under the Securities Exchange Act (or any successor or amended provision
thereof) to become inapplicable to this Plan; and provided further that the
                                                  ----------------
provisions of this Plan specified in Rule 16b-3(c)(2)(ii)(A) (or any successor
or amended provision thereof) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(including without limitation, provisions as to eligibility, amount, price and
timing of awards) may not be amended more than once every six months, other than
to comport with changes in the Internal Revenue Code, the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act, or the rules thereunder. Termination or any modification or
amendment of this Plan shall not, without consent of a participant, affect his
or her rights under an option previously granted to him or her.

    16.   Withholding of Income Taxes.  Upon the exercise of an option,
          ---------------------------
the Company, in accordance with Section 3402(a) of the Internal Revenue Code,
may require the optionee to pay withholding taxes in respect of amounts
considered to be compensation includible in the optionee's gross income.

    17.   Compliance with Regulations.  It is the Company's intent that
          ---------------------------
the Plan comply in all respects with Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (or any successor or amended provision thereof) and any applicable
Securities and Exchange Commission interpretations thereof.  If any provision of
this Plan is deemed not to be in compliance with Rule 16b-3, the provision shall
be null and void.

    18.   Governing Law.  The validity and construction of this Plan and
          -------------
the instruments evidencing options shall be governed by the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the principles of
conflicts of law thereof.
