       2. SALE AND TRANSFER OF ASSETS; EMPLOYMENT MATTERS; LEASE; CLOSING

2.1      EMPLOYMENT MATTERS

(a)      The parties acknowledge that IIS has made, with the consent and
         approval of K2 Digital, employment offers to certain employees and
         officers of K2 Digital, and has hired certain

                                       2
<PAGE>   6
         of those employees and officers, other than the Hired Consultant (as
         defined below) (together with any other K2 Digital employees that may
         subsequently be hired by IIS, the "Hired Employees"). The effective
         start date for the Hired Employees hired as of the date hereof will be
         deemed to be August 1, 2001, and all other Hired Employees will be
         deemed to have commenced employment as of their actual start date. IIS
         will pay such Hired Employees (at base compensation rates agreed to by
         IIS and such Hired Employees) hired as of the date hereof by the close
         of business on August 20, 2001 from IIS's payroll, for the pay period
         starting August 1, 2001 and ending August 15, 2001. The terms and
         conditions of employment of all Hired Employees will be mutually agreed
         upon by IIS and such Hired Employees in each case. The Hired Employees
         have or will each agree with K2 Digital, in connection with their
         employment by IIS, to resign from employment with K2 Digital and its
         subsidiaries and to resign from any other officer positions with K2
         Digital or its subsidiaries, effective August 1, 2001, and to release
         K2 Digital from certain claims, including claims for severance or
         salary continuation benefits, and K2 Digital will accept all such
         resignations effective August 1, 2001. IIS and certain of the Hired
         Employees, each of whom (as well as all other Hired Employees) are
         listed on Schedule 2.1(a) (the "Key Employees"), together will enter
         into employment agreements (each an "Employment Agreement," and
         collectively the "Employment Agreements") in form and substance
         acceptable to IIS and such Key Employees. (For all other purposes of
         this Agreement, the term "Hired Employees" shall mean and include the
         Key Employees.)

(b)      The parties acknowledge that IIS has made, with the consent and
         approval of K2 Digital, a consulting offer to an officer of K2 Digital
         (the "Hired Consultant"). The terms and conditions of the consulting
         arrangement with the Hired Consultant will be mutually agreed upon by
         IIS and such Hired Consultant. The Hired Consultant may also remain
         employed by K2 Digital. At the Closing, IIS and the Hired Consultant
         will enter into a consulting agreement in form and substance acceptable
         to IIS and such Hired Consultant.

(c)      K2 Digital hereby waives any and all non-competition, non-solicitation,
         confidentiality, assignment of inventions, and other similar
         restrictive covenants and agreements by and between K2 Digital and the
         Hired Employees and Hired Consultant (effective as of August 1, 2001),
         and hereby releases the Hired Employees and Hired Consultant from such
         agreements or restrictions. K2 Digital agrees to assign and transfer to
         IIS all of K2 Digital's rights under any such restrictive or other
         agreements between K2 Digital and all of the Hired Employees and the
         Hired Consultant. K2 Digital will, upon request of IIS and at IIS's
         expense, provide reasonable assistance to IIS in such regard.

(d)      IIS will pay to K2 Digital a recruitment and placement fee of $75,000
         at Closing (the "Initial Placement Fee"), plus $7,500 per Key Employee
         and $2,500 for each other Hired Employee that remains employed by IIS
         through December 31, 2001 (the "Contingent Placement Fee"). The
         Contingent Placement Fee will be paid by IIS in cash in five monthly
         installments beginning August 31, 2001, pro rated monthly (but without
         any obligation on K2 Digital's part to refund any portion of the
         installments received) for the number of Key Employees and other Hired
         Employees retained during the period beginning August 31, 2001 and
         ending December 31, 2001.

                                       3
<PAGE>   7
(e)      IIS will pay to K2 Digital $50,000 as consideration for K2 Digital
         entering into the non-competition agreement set forth in Section 6
         hereof.

(f)      The obligation to pay all employee and other benefits, including,
         without limitation, health, dental, life, accidental death and
         disability, retirement, severance, and related or other benefits, which
         are payable to employees (including Hired Employees and Hired
         Consultant) under K2 Digital's Employee Plans, including, in the case
         of Hired Employees or Hired Consultant, any that arise, are incurred or
         are based on events that occur on or prior to the actual date of hire
         by IIS (whether or not claims for such benefits are submitted on or
         prior to such date), as well as any statutory or other penalties
         payable to employees or former employees (including the Hired Employees
         and the Hired Consultant) as a result of the late or non-payment (or
         underpayment) of wages or other compensation, will remain the sole
         responsibility of K2 Digital and will not be assumed by IIS, and K2
         Digital will indemnify and hold harmless IIS for such claims and
         amounts. IIS will be responsible for any benefits that are payable to
         Hired Employees under the terms of IIS's employee plans that arise, are
         incurred or are based on events that occur after the date of actual
         hire by IIS, including salary and any severance amounts to which such
         Hired Employees are or become entitled to under their arrangements with
         IIS. For the purpose of this Section 2(f), the term "events" means the
         item that is the subject matter of the claim (i.e., medical services,
         layoff, vacation, etc.) as well as the condition or injury leading to
         the filing of the claim. IIS will not assume or be responsible for any
         liability in respect of any benefits that are payable at any time to,
         or in respect of, current or former employees of K2 Digital not
         employed by IIS. K2 Digital will continue to provide disability and
         other benefits coverage, if applicable, to any Hired Employee who is
         unable to report to work with IIS due to short- or long-term disability
         until such employee returns to work for IIS.

2.2      LEASE

(a)      IIS and K2 Digital agree that they will use commercially reasonable
         efforts to obtain financial concessions and enter into arrangements
         with K2 Digital's landlord for possession by IIS of the office premises
         covered under the Lease at Closing (the "Premises"), pursuant to which
         IIS will enter into a new lease for the Premises simultaneously with
         the termination of the Lease, sublet the Premises, or take an
         assignment of the Lease, provided the terms are no less favorable to
         IIS than those currently provided to K2 Digital and provided the lease
         documentation is reasonably satisfactory to IIS.

(b)      K2 Digital shall allow the Hired Employees and Hired Consultant to
         remain in the current office space and to utilize all furniture,
         fixtures, equipment, supplies and premises currently utilized in the
         conduct of business pending completion by IIS of arrangements with K2
         Digital's landlord to take assignment of, sublet or lease the Premises.
         IIS shall reimburse K2 Digital on a monthly basis for K2 Digital's
         office rent during that period. IIS shall provide, at no cost to K2
         Digital, office space to the Hired Consultant until December 31, 2001.

portion of the Purchase Price ($419,000.00) along with the cash fee of
$50,000.00 for the noncompetition agreement of K2 Digital (and $75,000.00 for
the Initial Placement Fee), shall be delivered by IIS to K2 Digital by wire
transfer or other immediately available funds. Notwithstanding the previous
sentence, IIS will wire directly to K2 Digital's creditor(s), included but not
limited to SGI Graphics LLC and its affiliates ("SGI"), the amount of the
purchase price that is necessary to pay off any existing Encumbrance on the
Assets, other than those relating to the assumed portion of the capital leases.
The wire instructions for any payments made directly to creditors will reflect
that the payment is being made for the benefit of K2 Digital.

         occurring prior to or after the Closing Date.

         delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation or performance of any
         of the transactions contemplated hereby will, directly or indirectly
         (with or without notice or lapse of time): (i) breach (A) any provision
         of any of the certificates of incorporation or bylaws of K2 Digital,
         (B) any resolution adopted by the board of directors or stockholders of

         the right to challenge any of the contemplated transactions or to
         exercise any remedy or obtain any relief under any Legal Requirement or
         any Order to which K2 Digital, or any of the Assets, may be subject;
         (iii) contravene, conflict with or result in a violation or breach of
         any of the terms or requirements of, or give any governmental body the
         right to revoke, withdraw, suspend, cancel, terminate or modify, any
         governmental authorization that is held by K2 Digital or that otherwise
         relates to the Assets or to the business of K2 Digital; (iv) breach any
         provision of, or give any Person the right to declare a default or
         exercise any remedy under, or to accelerate the maturity or performance
         of, or payment under, or to cancel, terminate or modify, any contract
         or agreement; or (v) result in the imposition or creation of any
         Encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Assets.

(c)      K2 Digital is not required to give any notice to or obtain any consent
         from any Person, including its stockholders, in connection with the

3.3      SEC REPORTS; FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         Since January 1, 2000, K2 Digital (or any predecessor) has filed all
forms, reports and documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") required to be filed by it under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended

"Exchange Act") (such reports being referred to respectively herein as the" SEC
Reports"), each of which complied in all material respects with all applicable
requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, each as in effect on
the dates such SEC Reports were filed. None of the SEC Reports contained, when

fact required to be stated or incorporated by reference therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, except to the extent amended prior to the date

of K2 Digital included in the SEC Reports complied as to form with applicable
accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC in
respect thereof and fairly presented, in conformity with GAAP, the consolidated
financial position of K2 Digital and its consolidated subsidiaries, in each case
as of the dates thereof and their consolidated results of operations and changes
in financial position for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of the
unaudited interim financial statements, to the absence of footnote disclosure
and to normal year-end adjustments). For purposes of this Agreement, "Last
Balance Sheet" means the consolidated balance sheet of K2 Digital as of June 30,
2001, filed with K2 Digital's quarterly report on Form 10-QSB. Since

                                       10

application or request for any change, by K2 Digital or any of its subsidiaries

purposes, other than as a result of any changes under GAAP or other relevant
accounting principles or changes required by any applicable tax rule or
regulation.

3.4      BOOKS AND RECORDS

         The books of account and other financial records of K2 Digital, all of
which have been made available to IIS, are complete and correct and represent

including the maintenance of an adequate system of internal controls.

3.5      TITLE TO ASSETS; ENCUMBRANCES

         K2 Digital owns (or will by the Closing own) good, marketable and

3.6      CONDITION OF ASSETS

         Each item of tangible personal property is in good repair and good
operating condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, is suitable for immediate
use in the ordinary course of business and is free from latent and patent
defects. No item of tangible personal property is in need of repair or
replacement other than as part of routine maintenance in the ordinary course of
business.

3.7      TRANSFERRED RECEIVABLES

         All Transferred Receivables represent or will represent valid
obligations arising from sales or the provision of services actually made or

There is no contest, claim, defense or right of setoff, other than returns in
the ordinary course of business of K2 Digital, under any Contract with any
account debtor of an Transferred Receivable relating to the amount or validity
of such Transferred Receivable. K2 Digital has provided to IIS a complete and
accurate list of all Transferred Receivables, which list sets forth the aging of
each such receivable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, K2 Digital does not
guarantee or warrant the collection of any of the Transferred Receivables.

3.8      NO UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES

         Except as set forth in Schedule 3.8, K2 Digital has no Liability except

3.9      TAXES

(a)      K2 Digital has filed or caused to be filed on a timely basis all Tax
         Returns and all reports with respect to Taxes that are or were required
         to be filed pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements. All Tax Returns
         and reports filed by K2 Digital are true, correct and complete. K2
         Digital has paid, or made provision for the payment of, all Taxes that
         have or may have become due for all periods covered by the Tax Returns
         or otherwise, or pursuant to any assessment received by K2 Digital,
         except such Taxes, if any, as are listed in Schedule 3.9 (a) and are
         being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves
         (determined in accordance with GAAP) have been provided in the
         financial statements. Except as provided in Schedule 3.9(a), K2 Digital
         currently is not the beneficiary of any extension of time within which
         to file any Tax Return. No claim has ever been made or is expected to
         be made by any governmental body in a jurisdiction where K2 Digital
         does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by
         that jurisdiction. There are no Encumbrances on any of the Assets that
         arose in connection with any failure (or alleged failure) to pay any
         Tax, and K2 Digital has no Knowledge of any basis for assertion of any
         claims attributable to Taxes which, if adversely determined, would
         result in any such Encumbrance.

(b)      All Taxes that K2 Digital is or was required by Legal Requirements to
         withhold, deduct or collect have been duly withheld, deducted and
         collected and, to the extent required, have been paid to the proper
         governmental body or other Person.

         under a similar provision of state, local or foreign law and (B) has no
         liability for Taxes of any person (other than K2 Digital and its
         subsidiaries) under Treas. Reg. sect. 1.1502-6 (or any similar
         provision of state, local or foreign law), as a transferee or successor
         by contract or otherwise.

(d)      K2 Digital has disclosed on its federal income Tax Returns all
         positions taken therein that could give rise to a substantial
         understatement of federal income Tax within the meaning of Code Section
         6662.

3.10     EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

         to or required to be contributed to by K2 Digital, or to which K2
         Digital is a party, whether written or oral, for the benefit of any
         employee,

         Affiliate of incurring any such Liability.

(d)      No Employee Plan is subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the
         Code; nor is any Employee Plan a "multiemployer pension plan," as
         defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA, or subject to Section 302 of ERISA;
         nor has K2 Digital nor any ERISA Affiliate maintained or contributed to
         any multiemployer pension plan in the last six (6) years.

(e)      K2 Digital will be responsible for and pay any and all workers'
         compensation and other similar claims asserted by or with respect to
         any employee or former employee of K2 Digital (including any Hired
         Employee) in respect of any injury or other compensable event or
         occupational illness or disease which occurred or is attributable to
         any event, state of facts or condition which existed or occurred prior
         to the Closing Date (or prior to the actual start date with IIS with
         respect to any Hired Employee).

(f)      K2 Digital shall be solely responsible for offering and providing any
         continuation coverage under Section 4980B of the Code and Part 6 of

         date with IIS with respect to any Hired Employee).

(g)      K2 Digital shall provide IIS all information relating to each employee
         or former employee of K2 Digital (including any Hired Employee), as IIS
         may reasonably require in connection with its employment of such
         persons, including, without limitation, initial employment dates,
         termination dates, reemployment dates, hours of service, compensation
         and tax withholding history in a form that will be usable by IIS and

                  continuing any conduct, activity or practice relating to the
                  business of K2 Digital.

         way purport to restrict K2 Digital's business activity or limit the
         freedom of K2 Digital to engage in any line of business or to compete
         with any Person, in each case to the extent such other contract would
         restrict IIS's ability to conduct business with the Transferred

         have been obtained or consents of customers required under the
         Contracts, which K2 Digital has no reason to believe cannot be obtained
         by it).

(c)      Except as set forth in Schedule 3.14 K2 Digital and each other party
         thereto is, and at all times since January 1, 2000, has been, in
         material compliance with all applicable terms and requirements of each

         declare a default or exercise any remedy under, or to accelerate the

3.16     INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ASSETS

(a)      The term "Intellectual Property Assets" means all intellectual property
         owned or licensed (as licensor or licensee) by K2 Digital in which K2
         Digital has a proprietary interest, and which constitutes part of the
         Assets, including:

         (i)      K2 Digital's name, all assumed fictional business names, trade
                  names, registered and unregistered trademarks, service marks
                  and applications (collectively, "Marks");

         (ii)     all registered and unregistered copyrights in both published
                  works and unpublished works (collectively, "Copyrights");

         (iii)    all rights in mask works;

         (iv)     all know-how, trade secrets, confidential or proprietary
                  information, customer lists, software, technical information,
                  data, process technology, plans, drawings and blue prints
                  (collectively, "Trade Secrets"); and

         (v)      all rights in internet web sites and internet domain names
                  presently used by K2 Digital (collectively "Net Names").

(b)      K2 Digital has delivered to IIS accurate and complete copies of all K2
         Digital contracts relating to the Intellectual Property Assets, except
         for any license implied by the sale of a product and perpetual, paid-up
         licenses for commonly available software programs with a value of less
         than $5,000 under which K2 Digital is the licensee. There are no
         outstanding and, to K2 Digital's Knowledge, no threatened (overtly or
         in writing) disputes or disagreements with respect to any such
         contract. K2 Digital has no patents, patent applications, or, to its
         Knowledge, inventions or discoveries that may be patentable.

(c)      K2 Digital is the owner or licensee of all right, title and interest in
         and to each of the Intellectual Property Assets, free and clear of all
         Encumbrances, and has the right to use without payment to a third party
         all of the Intellectual Property Assets. All former and current
         employees of K2 Digital have executed written contracts with K2 Digital
         that assign to K2 Digital all rights to any inventions, improvements,
         discoveries or information relating to the business of K2 Digital.

(d)      All of the Intellectual Property Assets are currently in compliance
         with formal Legal Requirements, are valid and enforceable, and are not
         subject to any maintenance fees or taxes or actions falling due within
         ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. No Intellectual Property Asset
         is infringed or, to K2 Digital's Knowledge, has been challenged or
         threatened in any way and (B) none of the services of K2 Digital or
         products manufactured or sold, nor any process or know-how used, by K2
         Digital, and none of the Intellectual Property Assets, infringes or is
         alleged to infringe any intellectual property asset or other
         proprietary right of any other Person and is not a derivative work
         based on the work of any other Person.

                                       16
<PAGE>   20
(e)      All Marks have been registered with the United States Patent and
         Trademark Office. No Mark has been or is now involved in any
         opposition, invalidation or cancellation Proceeding and, to K2
         Digital's Knowledge, no such action is threatened with respect to any
         of the Marks. To K2 Digital's Knowledge, there is no potentially
         interfering trademark or trademark application of any other Person. All
         products and materials containing a Mark bear the proper federal
         registration notice where permitted by law.

(f)      With respect to each Trade Secret, the documentation relating to such
         Trade Secret is current, accurate and sufficient in detail and content
         to identify and explain it and to allow its full and proper use without
         reliance on the knowledge or memory of any individual. K2 Digital has
         taken all reasonable precautions to protect the secrecy,
         confidentiality and value of all Trade Secrets (including the
         enforcement by K2 Digital of a policy requiring each employee or
         contractor to execute proprietary information and confidentiality
         agreements substantially in K2 Digital's standard form, and all current
         and former employees and contractors of K2 Digital have executed such
         an agreement). K2 Digital has good title to and an absolute right to
         use the Trade Secrets. The Trade Secrets are not part of the public
         knowledge or literature and, to K2 Digital's Knowledge, have not been
         used, divulged or appropriated either for the benefit of any Person
         (other than K2 Digital) or to the detriment of K2 Digital.

(g)      All Net Names have been registered in the name of K2 Digital. To K2
         Digital's Knowledge, there is no domain name application pending of any
         other person which would or would potentially interfere with or
         infringe any Net Name.

3.17     BROKERS OR FINDERS

         Neither K2 Digital nor any of its representatives have incurred any
obligation or liability, contingent or otherwise, for brokerage or finders' fees
or agents' commissions or other similar payments in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which IIS will or could be
liable or responsible.

3.18     SOLVENCY

(a)      K2 Digital is not now insolvent and will not be rendered insolvent by
         any of the transactions contemplated hereby. As used in this section,
         "insolvent" means that the sum of the debts and other probable
         Liabilities of K2 Digital exceeds the present fair saleable value of K2
         Digital's assets.

(b)      Immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions
         contemplated hereby: (i) K2 Digital will be able to pay its Liabilities
         as they become due in the usual course of its business, assuming full
         performance of IIS's payment obligations under this Agreement; (ii) K2
         Digital will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct
         its present or proposed business; and (iii) K2 Digital will have assets
         (calculated at fair market value) that exceed its Liabilities.

Section 2.9(a) or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby contains any untrue statement or omits to state a material fact necessary
to make any of them, in light of the circumstances in which it was made, not
misleading. K2 Digital does not have Knowledge of any fact that has specific
application to K2 Digital (other than general economic or industry conditions)
and that may materially adversely affect the Assets (including without
limitation the Contracts, Prepaid Expenses and Transferred Receivables),
Transferred Customers (or other customers), Hired Employees or Hired Consultant,
that has not been set forth in this Agreement or the Disclosure Letter.

enjoyment of the Assets or conduct of the business previously conducted by K2
Digital with the Assets, IIS may, at any time after the Closing Date, elect with

(but shall have no obligation to do so) and set off and deduct the full amount
of all such payments from the Contingent Placement Fee or any other amounts

         needed to transfer such funds (electronic or otherwise) deposited into
         K2 Digital's accounts to accounts of IIS. K2 Digital hereby authorizes
         IIS to endorse in IIS's name all notes, checks, draft money orders or
         other instruments of payment or utilize credit memos in respect of the
         foregoing which may come into the possession of K2 Digital or IIS, and
         K2 Digital hereby ratifies all that IIS may lawfully do or cause to be
         done by virtue hereof. In the event IIS receives any funds allocable to
         accounts receivable or unbilled revenue existing as of July 31, 2001,
         or other amounts belonging to K2 Digital hereunder, IIS shall promptly
         pay such amounts over to K2 Digital.

(b)      Prior to the Closing, and until termination of this Agreement in
         accordance with its terms, IIS will have the sole irrevocable right and
         authority to invoice for and collect all monies or credits payable in
         respect of the IIS Customer Funds, no matter how or when earned. If any

         memos, it will hold all such monies or credit memos in trust for the
         sole benefit of IIS and pay all such amounts to IIS in accordance with
         Section 10.4(a) above. In the event IIS receives any

                                       23
<PAGE>   27
         funds allocable to accounts receivable, or other amounts retained by or
         belonging to K2 Digital hereunder, IIS shall promptly pay such amounts
         over to K2 Digital.

(c)      Each party shall reasonably cooperate (including making its relevant
         employees available) with the other with respect to the collection of
         their respective accounts receivables that have a common customer
         (provided that no party shall have any obligation to act as a
         collection agent for the other).

10.5     USE OF NAMES

         Until termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, IIS
shall have the right to use, and K2 Digital hereby grants to IIS the

whether by merger or otherwise.

     Awards under the Plan. Effective on the date of adoption of the 1999
     Amendment to the Plan, an additional 672,500 Shares shall be deliverable
     pursuant to Options.

5. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

     (a) Composition of the Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the
     Stock Option Committee, which shall consist of not less than two members of
     the Board, all of whom shall be Non-Employee Directors. Members of the
     Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Board. In the absence of a
     duly appointed Committee, the Plan shall be administered by those members
     of the Board who are Non-Employee Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
     the Board may, at any time, act in lieu of the Committee.

     (b) Powers of the Committee. Except as limited by the express provisions of
     the Plan or by resolutions adopted by the Board, the Committee shall have
     sole and complete authority and discretion (i) to select Participants and
     grant Awards, (ii) to determine the form and content of Awards to be issued
     in the form of Agreements under the Plan, (iii) to interpret the Plan, (iv)
     to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan,
     and (v) to make other determinations necessary or advisable for the
     administration of the Plan. The Committee shall have and may exercise such
     other power and authority as may be delegated to it by the Board from time
     to time. A majority of the entire Committee shall constitute a quorum and
     the action of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a
     quorum is present, or acts approved in writing by all members of the
     Committee without a meeting, shall be deemed the action of the Committee.

     (c) Agreement. Each Award shall be evidenced by a written agreement
     containing such provisions as may be approved by the Committee. Each such
     Agreement shall constitute a binding contract between the Company and the
     Participant and every Participant, upon acceptance of such Agreement, shall
     be bound by the terms and restrictions of the Plan and of such Agreement.
     The terms of each such Agreement shall be in accordance with the Plan, but
     each Agreement may include such additional provisions and restrictions
     determined by the Committee, in its discretion, provided that such
     additional provisions and restrictions are not inconsistent with the terms
     of the Plan. In particular, the Committee shall set forth in each Agreement
     (i) the Exercise Price of an Option, (ii) the number of Shares subject to,
     and the expiration date of, the Award, (iii) the manner, time and rate
     (cumulative or otherwise) of exercise or vesting of such Award, and (iv)
     the restrictions, if any, to be placed upon such Award or upon Shares which
     may be issued upon exercise of such Award.

                                        4

          The Chairman of the Committee and such other Directors and officers as
     shall be designated by the Committee are hereby authorized to execute
     Agreements on behalf of the Company and to cause them to be delivered to
     the recipients of Awards.

     (d) Effect of the Committee's Decisions. All decisions, determinations and
     interpretations of the Committee shall be final and conclusive on all
     persons affected thereby.

     (e) Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as
     they may have, the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the
     Company in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding relating
     to any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan
     or any Award, to the full extent provided for under the Company's governing
     instruments with respect to the indemnification of Directors.

6. GRANT OF OPTIONS.

     (a) General Rule. In its sole discretion, the Committee may grant Awards to
     select key Employees. In selecting those Employees to whom Awards will be
     granted and the number of shares covered by such Awards, the Committee
     shall consider their respective positions, duties and responsibilities, the
     value of their services to the Company and its Affiliates, and any other
     factors the Committee may deem relevant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
     Committee shall automatically make the Awards specified in Paragraphs 6(b)
     and 6(d) hereof.

     (b) Automatic Grants to Employees. On the Effective Date, each of the
     following Employees shall receive an Option (in the form of an ISO, to the
     extent permissible under the Code) to purchase the number of Shares listed
     below, at an Exercise Price per Share equal to the Market Value of a Share
     on the Effective Date; provided that such grant shall not be made to an
     Employee whose Continuous Service terminates on or before the Effective
     Date:

<PAGE>   6

          With respect to each of the above-named Employees, the Option granted
     to the Employee hereunder (i) shall vest in accordance with the general
     rule set forth in Paragraph 8(a) of the Plan, (ii) shall have a term of ten
     years from the Effective Date, except as limited by Paragraph 3(b), and
     (iii) shall be subject to the general rule set forth in Paragraph 8(c) with
     respect to the effect of an Employee's termination of Continuous Service on
     the Employee's right to exercise his Options.

     (c) Special Rules for ISOs. The aggregate Market Value, as of the date the
     Option is granted, of the Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable
     for the first time by an Employee during any calendar year (under all stock
     option plans, as defined in Section 422 of the Code, of the Company or any
     present or future Affiliate of the Company) shall not exceed $100,000.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may grant Options in excess of
     the foregoing limitations, in which case such Options granted in excess of
     such limitation shall be Options which are Non-ISOs.

     (d) Automatic Grants to Directors. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
     this Plan, each Director who is not an Employee but is a Director on the
     dates specified below shall receive Options to purchase the number of
     Shares indicated of the Shares reserved under Paragraph 4(a) hereof. Such
     Options shall have an Exercise Price per Share equal to the Market Value of
     a Share on the date of grant.

          (1)  each Non-Employee Director of the Company or the Bank in office
               on the day immediately prior to the Effective Date shall receive
               Options to purchase 1,000 Shares for each year of service on the
               Board or that of the Bank;

          (2)  each Non-Employee Director who is elected to the Board of the
               Company on or following the Effective Date shall upon taking
               office receive Options to purchase 1,000 Shares;

          (3)  each Non-Employee Director of the Company shall receive on May 1,
               1998 and each succeeding May 1, Options to purchase 1,000 Shares;
               an individual serving on the Boards of both the Company and the
               Bank shall be entitled to Options to purchase a total of 1,000
               Shares per year.

7. EXERCISE PRICE FOR OPTIONS.

     (a) Limits on Committee Discretion. The Exercise Price as to any particular
     Option shall not be less than 50% of the Market Value of the Shares on the
     date of grant (100% in the case of ISOs). In the case of an Employee who
     owns Shares representing more than 10% of the Company's outstanding Shares
     of Common Stock at the time an ISO is granted, the Exercise Price shall not
     be less than 110% of the Market Value of the Shares at the time the ISO is
     granted.

                                        6

<PAGE>   7

     (b) Standards for Determining Exercise Price. If the Common Stock is listed
     on a national securities exchange (including the NASDAQ National Market) on
     the date in question, then the Market Value per Share shall be the average
     of the highest and lowest selling prices on such exchange on such date, or
     if there were no sales on such date, then the Market Value per Share shall
     be the average of the highest and lowest selling price on such exchange on
     the trading day immediately preceding such date on which sales were
     effected. If the Common Stock is traded otherwise than on a national
     securities exchange on the date in question, then the Market Value per
     Share shall be the average of the bid and asked price on such date, or, if
     there is no bid and asked price on such date, then on the next prior
     business day on which there was a bid and asked price. If no price is
     available, then the Market Value per Share shall be its fair market value
     as determined by the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that either (i) the Committee
     exercises its discretion to impose transfer (or other) restrictions on the
     Shares subject to an Option, or (ii) the Plan requires specified transfer
     restrictions, the Committee shall make an appropriate adjustment in
     determining the Market Value of the Shares subject to such an Option (in
     order to take into account that their fair market value may be less than
     the fair market value of unrestricted Shares).

8. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS BY EMPLOYEES.

     (a) Generally. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee pursuant to an
     applicable Agreement, each Option shall be fully (100%) exercisable after
     the one year period following the date of its grant. An Option may not be
     exercised for a fractional Share.

     (b) Procedure for Exercise. An Employee may exercise Options, subject to
     provisions relative to its termination and any limitations on its exercise,
     only by (1) written notice of intent to exercise the Option with respect to
     a specified number of Shares, and (2) payment to the Company
     (contemporaneously with delivery of such notice) in cash, in Common Stock,
     or a combination of cash and Common Stock, of the amount of the Exercise
     Price for the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is then
     being exercised. Each such notice (and payment where required) shall be
     delivered, or mailed by prepaid registered or certified mail, addressed to
     the Treasurer of the Company at the Company's executive offices. Common
     Stock utilized in full or partial payment of the Exercise Price for Options
     shall be valued at its Market Value at the date of exercise and may consist
     of Shares subject to the Option being exercised. An Employee who exercises
     Non-ISOs pursuant to this Paragraph may satisfy all applicable federal,
     state and local income and employment tax withholding obligations, in whole
     or in part, by irrevocably electing to have the Company withhold shares of
     Common Stock, or to deliver to the Company shares of Common Stock that the
     Employee already owns, having a value equal to the amount required to be
     withheld; provided that to the extent not inconsistent

                                        7

<PAGE>   8

     herewith, such election otherwise complies with those requirements of
     Paragraphs 8 and 18 hereof.

     (c) Period of Exercisability. Except to the extent otherwise provided in
     the terms of an Agreement, an Option may be exercised hereunder only while
     the Employee is employed by the Company and has maintained Continuous
     Service from the date of the grant of the Option, or until the later of
     three months after termination of such Continuous Service or the date on
     which the Option would otherwise expire, except if the Employee's
     Continuous Service terminates by reason of -

          (1) "Just Cause" which for purposes hereof shall have the meaning set
     forth in any unexpired employment or severance agreement of the Employee
     (and, in the absence of any such agreement, shall mean termination because
     of the Employee's personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct,
     breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to
     perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation
     [other than traffic violations or similar offenses] or final
     cease-and-desist order), then the Employee's rights to exercise such Option
     shall expire on the date of such termination;

          (2) death, then to the extent that the Employee would have been
     entitled to exercise the Option immediately prior to his death, such Option
     of the deceased Employee may be exercised within two years from the date of
     his death (but not later than the date on which the Option would otherwise
     expire) by the personal representatives of his estate or person or persons
     to whom his rights under such Option shall have passed by will or by laws
     of descent and distribution;

          (3) Disability, then to the extent that the Employee would have been
     entitled to exercise the Option immediately prior to his or her Disability,
     such Option may be exercised within one year from the date of termination
     of employment due to Disability, but not later than the date on which the
     Option would otherwise expire.

     (d) Effect of the Committee's Decisions. The Committee's determination
     whether an Employee's Continuous Service has ceased, and the effective date
     thereof, shall be final and conclusive on all persons affected thereby.

     (e) Acceleration of Vesting. Notwithstanding the six-month period set forth
     in Paragraph 8(a) hereof and except to the extent otherwise provided in the
     terms of an Agreement, all Options held by an Employee whose service with
     the Company or an Affiliate terminates due to death, Disability,
     retirement, or a Change in Control shall be deemed fully exercisable and
     non-forfeitable as of the Employee's last day of service.

9. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS BY NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS.

     (a) Generally. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee pursuant to an
     applicable Agreement, each Option shall be fully (100%) exercisable after
     one year following the date of its grant.

     (b) Terms of Exercise.

               (i) Options received by Directors who are not Employees will
          become exercisable in accordance with the general rule set forth in
          Paragraph 8(a) hereof, and may be exercised from time to time in the
          manner set forth in Paragraph 8(b).

               (ii) Options granted to Non-Employee Directors shall have a term
          of 5 years; provided that Options so granted shall expire one year
          after the date on which a Director terminates Continuous Service on
          the Board, but in no event later than the date on which such Options
          would otherwise expire. In the event of such Director's death during
          the term of his directorship, such Options shall become immediately
          exercisable, and may be exercised within two years from the date of
          his death by the personal representatives of his estate or person or
          persons to whom his rights under such Options shall have passed by
          will or by laws of descent and distribution, but in no event later
          than the date on which such Options would otherwise expire. In the
          event of such Director's Disability during his or her directorship,
          the Director's Options shall become immediately exercisable, and such
          Options may be exercised within one year of the termination of
          directorship due to Disability, but not later than the date that the
          Options would otherwise expire. Unless otherwise inapplicable or
          inconsistent with the provisions of this Paragraph, the Options to be
          granted to Directors hereunder shall be subject to all other
          provisions of this Plan.

     (c) Effect of the Committee's Decisions. The Committee's determination
     whether a Director's Continuous Service has ceased, and the effective date
     thereof, shall be final and conclusive on all persons affected thereby.

     (d) Acceleration of Vesting. Notwithstanding the six-month period set forth
     in Paragraph 9(a) hereof and except to the extent otherwise provided in the
     terms of an Agreement, all Options held by a Director whose service with
     the Bank terminates due to death, Disability, retirement or a Change in
     Control shall be deemed fully exercisable and non-forfeitable as of the
     Director's last day of service with the Bank.

10. EFFECT OF CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

     (a) Recapitalizations; Stock Splits, Etc. The number and kind of Shares
     reserved for issuance under the Plan, and the number and kind of Shares
     subject to outstanding Awards, and the Exercise Price thereof, shall be
     proportionately adjusted for any increase, decrease, change or exchange of
     Shares for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the
     Company which results from a merger, consolidation, recapitalizations,
     reorganization, reclassification, stock dividend, split-up, combination of
     shares or similar event in which the number or kind of shares is changed
     without the receipt or payment of consideration by the Company.

     (b) Transactions in which the Company is Not the Surviving Entity. In the
     event of (i) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, (ii) a merger
     or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or (iii)
     the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets
     (any of the foregoing to be referred to herein as a "Transaction"), all
     outstanding Awards, together with the Exercise Prices thereof, shall be
     equitably adjusted for any change or exchange of Shares for a different
     number or kind of shares or other securities which results from the
     Transaction.

     (c) Special Rule for ISOs. Any adjustment made pursuant to subparagraphs
     (a) or (b) hereof shall be made in such a manner as not to constitute a
     modification, within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code.

     (d) Conditions and Restrictions on New, Additional, or Different Shares or
     Securities. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this
     Paragraph, a Participant becomes entitled to new, additional, or different
     shares of stock or securities, such new, additional, or different shares of
     stock or securities shall thereupon be subject to all of the conditions and
     restrictions which were applicable to the Shares pursuant to the Award
     before the adjustment was made.

     (e) Other Issuances. Except as expressly provided in this Paragraph, the
     issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or of securities
     convertible into Shares or stock of another class, for cash or property or
     for labor or services either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of
     rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, shall not affect, and no
     adjustment shall be made with respect to, the number, class, or Exercise
     Price of Shares then subject to Awards or reserved for issuance under the
     Plan.

11. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS.

          Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred
     or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent
     and distribution. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the
     contrary, to the extent permissible under Rule 16b-3, and except to the
     extent otherwise provided in the terms of an

                                       10

<PAGE>   11

     Agreement, a Participant who is granted Non-ISOs pursuant to this Plan may
     transfer such Non-ISOs to his or her spouse, lineal ascendants, lineal
     descendants, or to a duly established trust, provided that Non-ISOs so
     transferred may not again be transferred other than (i) to the Participant
     originally receiving the grant of Non-ISOs, or (ii) to an individual or
     trust to whom such Participant could have transferred Non-ISOs pursuant to
     this Paragraph 11. Non-ISOs which are transferred pursuant to this
     Paragraph 11 shall be exercisable by the transferee subject to the same
     terms and conditions as would have applied to such Non-ISOs in the hands of
     the Participant originally receiving the grant of such Non-ISOs.

12. TIME OF GRANTING AWARDS.

          The date of grant of an Award shall, for all purposes, be the later of
     the date on which the Committee makes the determination of granting such
     Award and the Effective Date. Notice of the determination shall be given to
     each Participant to whom an Award is so granted within a reasonable time
     after the date of such grant.

13. EFFECTIVE DATE.

          The Effective Date shall be the date of adoption of the 1999 Amendment
     to the Plan.

14. MODIFICATION OF AWARDS.

          At any time, and from time to time, the Board may authorize the
     Committee to direct execution of an instrument providing for the
     modification of any outstanding Award, provided no such modification shall
     confer on the holder of said Award any right or benefit which could not be
     conferred on him by the grant of a new Award at such time, or impair the
     Award without the consent of the holder of the Award.

15. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

          The Board may from time to time amend the terms of the Plan and
     suspend or terminate the Plans. No amendment, suspension or termination of
     the Plan shall, without the consent of any affected holders of an Award,
     alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore
     granted.

16. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES.

     (a) Compliance with Securities Laws. Shares of Common Stock shall not be
     issued with respect to any Award unless the issuance and delivery of such
     Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without
     limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and
     regulations promulgated thereunder, any applicable state securities law and
     the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be
     listed.

                                       11

<PAGE>   12

     (b) Securities Laws. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the
     Company may require the person exercising the Option to make such
     representations and warranties as may be necessary to assure the
     availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of federal
     or state securities law.

     (c) Committee Discretion. The Committee shall have the discretionary
     authority to impose in Agreements such restrictions on Shares as it may
     deem appropriate or desirable, including but not limited to the authority
     to impose a right of first refusal or to establish repurchase rights or
     both of these restrictions.

17. RESERVATION OF SHARES.

          The Company, during the term of the Plan, will reserve and keep
     available for issuance a number of Shares sufficient to satisfy the
     requirements of the Plan.

18. WITHHOLDING TAX.

          The Company's obligation to deliver Shares upon exercise of Options
     shall be subject to the Participant's satisfaction of all applicable
     federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding obligations.

19. NO EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER RIGHTS.

          In no event shall an Employee's or Director's eligibility to
     participate or participation in the Plan create or be deemed to create any
     legal or equitable right of the Employee, Director or any other party to
     continue service with the Company or any Affiliate. Except to the extent
     provided in Paragraphs 6(b) and 6(d), no Employee or Director shall have a
     right to be granted an Award or, having received an Award, the right to
     again be granted an Award. However, an Employee or Director who has been
     granted an Award may, if otherwise eligible, be granted an additional Award
     or Awards.

20. GOVERNING LAW.

          The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
     laws of the State of Michigan, except to the extent that federal law shall
     be deemed to apply. Any action by an Employee arising with respect to any
     claim regarding any award, any claim of right, or otherwise arising with
     respect to this Plan or its administration, shall only be brought in a
