stock  dividend,  issuance  of stock  rights,  combination  of  shares,  merger,
consolidation  or any other change in the  corporate  structure of USA affecting

authorized by the Plan as it  determines  appropriate.  No fractional  shares of
stock shall be issued pursuant to such an adjustment,  but an amount  equivalent

Directors of USA, the Company  shall,  at its cost and expense,  register all of
the Stock under the 1933 Act pursuant to Form S-8. Notwithstanding anything else
set forth  herein,  an Award shall not be made to any  Director,  Consultant  or
Employee  unless  such  person  in  eligible  to  receive  Stock  which has been
registered under a Form S-8. In this regard,  any Stock issuable to a Consultant
or Director  shall be issued to an individual who provided bona fide services to
USA and such services are not in connection with the offer or sale of securities
in a capital-raising  transaction,  and do not directly or indirectly promote or
maintain a market for USA's  securities.  In connection with the issuance of any
Stock  pursuant to the Plan,  USA shall at its expense,  use its best efforts to
have any such Stock exempted from the registration requirements under applicable
state securities laws.

         10.      GENERAL PROVISIONS.

                  10.1 The Plan shall become  effective upon its approval by the
Board.

                  10.2  Nothing  contained  in the  Plan,  or an  Award  granted
pursuant to the Plan,  shall  confer upon an Employee  any right with respect to
continuance  of employment by the Company or upon any Director or Consultant any
right with respect to continuance of Board service or the consulting arrangement
(as the case may be), nor  interfere in any way with the right of the Company to
terminate such relationships at any time.

<PAGE>

                  10.3 For purposes of this Plan, transfer of employment between
USA and any Subsidiary shall not be deemed termination of employment.

                  10.4  Holders  shall  be  responsible   to  make   appropriate
provision for all taxes  required to be withheld in  connection  with any Award.
Such  responsibility  shall extend to all applicable  federal,  state,  local or
foreign  withholding  taxes. In the case of exercise of Awards, USA shall at the
election of the Holder,  have the right to retain the number of shares of Common
Stock  whose  aggregate  Fair Market  Value  equals the amount to be withheld in
satisfaction of the applicable  withholding  taxes.  Agreements  evidencing such
Awards  shall  contain  appropriate  provisions  to effect  withholding  in this
manner.  The Plan is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal  Revenue
Code.

                  10.5 To the extent  that  federal  laws (such as the 1934 Act,
the  Code  or the  Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act of  1974)  do not
otherwise  control,  the Plan and all  determinations  made  and  actions  taken
pursuant hereto shall be governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
and construed accordingly.
