      3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE SUB-PLAN.

            (a) BOARD. This Sub-Plan shall be administered by the Board, subject
to such terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe; provided that they are
consistent with the terms of the Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, in its discretion the Board may delegate some or all of its authority
to administer this Sub-Plan to one or more committees of the Board.

            (b) AUTHORITY; POWERS. Subject to the express terms and conditions
set forth herein and the Plan, the Board shall have the discretion from time to
time:

                  (i) to grant Options, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock
Units to Participants and to determine the terms and conditions of such Awards,
including the determination of the Fair Market Value of the Shares and the
exercise price, and to modify or amend each Award, with the consent of the
Participant when required;

                  (ii) to determine the Participants to whom Awards, if any,
will be granted hereunder, the timing of such Awards, and the number of Shares
to be represented by each Award;

                  (iii) to construe and interpret this Sub-Plan and the Awards
granted hereunder;

                  (iv) to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations
relating to this Sub-Plan, including the form of Award Agreement, and manner of
acceptance of an Award, such as correcting a defect or supplying any omission,
or reconciling any inconsistency so that this Sub-Plan or any Award Agreement
complies with applicable law, regulations and listing requirements and to avoid
unanticipated consequences deemed by the Board to be inconsistent with the
purposes of the Plan or any Award Agreement;

                  (v) to establish Performance Criteria (as defined in Section
11(b) of the Plan) for Awards made pursuant to the Plan in accordance with a
methodology established by the Board, and to determine whether performance goals
have been attained;

                  (vi) to accelerate or defer (with the consent of the
Participant) the exercise or vested date of any Award;

                  (vii) to authorize any Person to execute on behalf of the
Company any instrument required to effectuate the grant of an Award previously
granted by the Board;

                  (viii) to establish sub-plans, procedures, or guidelines for
the grant of Awards to Non-Employee Directors; and

                  (ix) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or
advisable for the administration of this Sub-Plan;

                                       3

<PAGE>

provided that, no consent of a Participant is necessary under clauses (i) or
(vi) if a modification, amendment, acceleration, or deferral, in the reasonable
judgment of the Board, confers a benefit on the Participant or is made pursuant
to an adjustment in accordance with Section 7.

            (c) EFFECT OF BOARD'S DECISION. All decisions, determinations, and
interpretations of the Board shall be final and binding on all Participants, the
Company (including its Subsidiaries), any shareholder and all other Persons.

      4. AWARD GRANTS.

            (a) INITIAL OPTION GRANT. Each Participant initially elected to the
Board shall be granted an Option to purchase 30,000 Shares, pursuant to an Award
Agreement.

            (b) ANNUAL OPTION GRANT. Each Participant who (i) is serving as a
Director as of the first day of the Company's fiscal year, and (ii) elects to
receive Options in lieu of receiving all or a portion of the Director's cash
retainer and/or deferred stock units to be paid for services rendered in the
future (the "DIRECTOR COMPENSATION"), shall, on the date the Board grants annual
Awards to the Company's executive officers, be granted an Option to purchase
that number of Shares determined pursuant to the formula set forth in Section
4(c).

            (c) OPTION GRANT FORMULA. Shares to be granted under Section 4(b)
shall be determined by (i) dividing the forgone Director Compensation by the
exercise price (which shall be the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on date
of grant) for the Option granted pursuant to Section 4(b), and (ii) multiplying
such amount by three (3).

            (d) OTHER AWARDS. In lieu of any Option grant described above, in
its discretion from time to time the Board may grant Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Units to Participants on terms and conditions, including but
not limited to vesting, consistent with the Plan and this Sub-Plan. The ratio of
(i) Shares subject to any such Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock
Units to (ii) the number of Shares subject to the Option grant in lieu of which
such Award is granted shall not be less than 1:2.1.

      5. VESTING OF OPTIONS. Unless otherwise approved by action of the Board
and reflected in the applicable Award Agreement, or unless the Option otherwise
expires earlier under Section 8 of this Sub-Plan:

            (a) INITIAL OPTION GRANTS. Initial Option grants under Section 4(a)
shall vest and become exercisable in three equal annual installments commencing
on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

            (b) ANNUAL OPTION GRANTS. Annual Option grants under Section 4(b)
shall vest and become exercisable in their entirety on the first anniversary of
the date of grant.

                                       4

      6. PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE OF AWARDS; RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER.

            (a) PROCEDURE. An Award shall be exercised when written, electronic
or verbal notice of exercise has been given to the Company, or the brokerage
firm or firms approved by the Company to facilitate exercises and sales under
this Sub-Plan, in accordance with the terms of the Award by the Person entitled
to exercise the Award and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the
Award is exercised has been received by the Company or the brokerage firm or
firms, as applicable. The notification to the brokerage firm shall be made in
accordance with procedures of such brokerage firm approved by the Company. Full
payment may, as authorized by the Board, consist of any consideration and method
of payment allowable under Section 6(b) of this Sub-Plan. The Company shall
issue (or cause to be issued) such share certificate promptly upon exercise of
the Award. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which
the record date is prior to the date the share certificate is issued, except as
provided in Section 7 of this Sub-Plan.

            (b) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The consideration to be paid for any Shares
to be issued upon exercise or other required settlement of an Award, including
the method of payment, shall be determined by the Board at the time of
settlement and which forms may include: (i) with respect to an Option, a request
that the Company or the designated brokerage firm conduct a cashless exercise of
the Option; (ii) cash; and (iii) tender of shares of Common Stock owned by the
Participant in accordance with rules established by the Board from time to time.
Shares used to pay the exercise price shall be valued at their Fair Market Value
on the exercise date. Payment of the aggregate exercise price by means of
tendering previously-owned shares of Common Stock shall not be permitted when
the same may, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, cause the Company to
record a loss or expense as a result thereof.

            (c) WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS. To the extent required by applicable
federal, state, local or foreign law, the Board may and/or a Participant shall
make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any
withholding tax obligations that arise with respect to any Option, Restricted
Stock or Restricted Stock Units, or any sale of Shares. The Company shall not be
required to issue Shares or to recognize the disposition of such Shares until
such obligations are satisfied. These obligations may be satisfied by having the
Company withhold a portion of the Shares that otherwise would be issued to a
Participant under such Award, such withholding to be done at the minimum tax
rate required under applicable law or by tendering Shares previously acquired by
the Participant in accordance with rules established by the Board from time to
time.

            (d) SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS. Except as otherwise provided in this
Sub-Plan, until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books
of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the
share certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends
or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Shares
subject to the Award, notwithstanding the exercise of the Award.

            (e) NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS. An Award may not be sold,
pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in exchange for
consideration, and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant,
only by the Participant, except that an Award

                                       5

<PAGE>
may be transferred (i) by will or by the laws of descent or distribution, (ii)
by gift or, with the consent of the Company for value, to immediate family
members of the Participant, partnerships of which the only partners are members
of the Participant's immediate family and trusts established solely for the
benefit of such family members; and solely as it pertains to effecting an
exercise of Awards transferred in accordance with this Section 6(e), the term
Participant shall include a permitted transferee, (iii) to the extent permitted
by the Board, to one or more beneficiaries on a Company-approved form who may
exercise the Award after the Participant's death, or (iv) such further
transferability as the Board may permit, on a general or specific basis, in
which case the Board may impose conditions and limitations on any permitted
transferability.

      7. ADJUSTMENTS TO SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN. If any change is made to the
Shares by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the
outstanding Shares as a class without the Company's receipt of consideration,
appropriate adjustments shall be made to the number of Shares that are subject
to outstanding Awards under this Sub-Plan. The Board may also make adjustments
described in the previous sentence in the event of any distribution of assets to
shareholders other than a normal cash dividend. In determining adjustments to be
made under this Section 7, the Board may take into account such factors as it
deems appropriate, including the restrictions of applicable law and the
potential tax consequences of an adjustment, and in light of such factors may
make adjustments that are not uniform or proportionate among outstanding Awards.
Adjustments, if any, and any determinations or interpretations, including any
determination of whether a distribution is other than a normal cash dividend,
made by the Board shall be final, binding and conclusive. For purposes of this
Section 7, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be
deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration."

      8. EXPIRATION OF AWARDS.

            (a) EXPIRATION, TERMINATION OR FORFEITURE OF AWARDS. Unless
otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or any severance agreement,
vested Awards granted under this Sub-Plan shall expire, terminate, or otherwise
be forfeited as follows:

                  (i) thirty-six (36) months after the date the Participant
ceases to be a Director, other than in circumstances covered by (ii) or (iii)
below;

                  (ii) immediately upon a Participant ceasing to be a Director
due to Misconduct; and

                  (iii) twelve (12) months after the date of the death of a
Participant who ceased to be a Director as a result of his or her death.

            (b) EXTENSION OF TERM. Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, the
Board shall have the authority to extend the expiration date of any outstanding
Option in circumstances in which it deems such action to be appropriate
(provided that no such extension shall extend the term of an Option beyond the
date on which the Option would have expired if no termination of the
Participant's status as a Director had occurred).

                                       6

<PAGE>

      9. EFFECT OF CHANGE OF CONTROL. Notwithstanding any other provision in
this Sub-Plan or the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply
unless otherwise provided in the most recently executed agreement between the
Participant and the Company, or specifically prohibited under applicable laws,
or by the rules and regulations of any applicable governmental agencies or
national securities exchanges or quotation systems.

            (a) ACCELERATION. Awards of a Participant shall be Accelerated (as
defined in Section 9(b) below) upon the occurrence of a Change of Control.

            (b) DEFINITION. For purposes of this Section 9, Awards of a
Participant being "ACCELERATED" means, with respect to such Participant:

                  (i) any and all Options shall become fully vested and
immediately exercisable, and shall remain exercisable throughout their entire
term;

                  (ii) any restriction periods and restrictions imposed on
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units that are not performance-based shall
lapse; and

                  (iii) the restrictions and deferral limitations and other
conditions applicable to any other Awards shall lapse, and such other Awards
shall become free of all restrictions, limitations or conditions and become
fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant.

      10. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS.

            (a) AWARD AGREEMENT AND DATE OF GRANT. The terms and conditions of
the grant of Awards to a Participant shall be set forth in an Award Agreement,
which will include the terms, conditions and restrictions, including but not
limited to vesting, related to the offer. The Board shall determine, in its sole
discretion, the date during the quarter following the end of the Company's
fiscal year upon which Awards are granted.

            (b) EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price for each Option shall be 100%
of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted.

            (c) REPRICING. In no event shall the Board or any committee of the
Board be permitted to reprice an Award after the date of grant without
shareholder approval.

            (d) TERM OF AWARD. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award
Agreement, the term of an Award shall be at the discretion of the Board.

      11. TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT OF THE SUB-PLAN. This Sub-Plan shall
terminate on the date of termination of the Plan and no Award may be granted
pursuant to this Sub-Plan thereafter. The Board may, at any time and from time
to time, amend, modify or suspend this Sub-Plan and all administrative rules,
regulations and practices hereunder; provided, however, that no such amendment,
modification, suspension or termination shall impair or adversely alter any
Awards theretofore granted under this Sub-Plan, except with the consent of the
Participant,

                                       7

<PAGE>

nor shall any amendment, modification, suspension or termination deprive any
Participant of any Shares that he or she may have acquired through or as a
result of this Sub-Plan.

      12. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF THIS SUB-PLAN. Except as otherwise explicitly
stated herein, the adoption of this Sub-Plan by the Board shall not be construed
as amending, modifying or rescinding the Plan but is intended to serve as a
framework for the Board with respect to grants to Participants.

      13. MULTIPLE AWARD GRANTS. The terms of each Award grant may differ from
the terms of any other Award granted under this Sub-Plan. The Board may also
make more than one grant of Awards to a given Participant during the term of
this Sub-Plan.

(Approved by the Board of Directors on February 8, 2005.)
