ARTICLE III - ADMINISTRATION

           
3.1        This Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of SI Diamond Technology, Inc. The Committee, in its discretion, may delegate to one or more of its members such of its
powers as it deems appropriate.  The Committee also may limit the power of any member to the extent necessary to comply with
rule 16b-3 under the Act, Code section 162(m) or any other law or for any other purpose.  Members of the Committee shall be
appointed originally, and as vacancies occur, by the Board, to serve at the pleasure of the Board.  The Board may serve as the
Committee, if by the terms of the Plan all Board members are otherwise eligible to serve on the Committee.

           
3.2        The Committee shall meet at such times and places as it determines.  A majority
of its members shall constitute a quorum, and the decision of a majority of those present at any meeting at which a quorum is
present shall constitute the decision of the Committee.  A memorandum signed by all of its members shall constitute the
decision of the Committee without necessity, in such event, for holding an actual meeting.

           
3.3        The Committee shall have the exclusive right to interpret, construe and administer
the Plan, to select the persons who are eligible to receive an Award, and to act in all matters pertaining to the granting of an
Award and the contents of the Agreement evidencing the Award, including without limitation, the determination of the number of
Stock Options subject to an Award and the form, terms, conditions and duration of each Award, and any amendment thereof consistent
with the provisions of the Plan.  All acts, determinations and decisions of the Committee made or taken pursuant to grants of
authority under the Plan or with respect to any questions arising in connection with the administration and interpretation of the
Plan, including the severability of any and all of the provisions thereof, shall be conclusive, final and binding upon all
Participants, Eligible Participants and their estates and beneficiaries.

           
3.4        The Committee may adopt such rules, regulations and procedures of general application
for the administration of this Plan, as it deems appropriate.

           
3.5        Subject to adjustment as provided in Plan Section 3.10, the aggregate number of
shares of Stock which are available for issuance pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall be Five Million (5,000,000) shares of
Stock.  Such shares of Stock shall be made available from authorized and unissued shares.  If, for any reason, any shares
of Stock awarded or subject to purchase under the Plan are not delivered or purchased, or are reacquired by the Company, for
reasons including, but not limited to, a forfeiture of Restricted Stock or termination, expiration or cancellation of a Stock
Option, such shares of Stock shall not be charged against the aggregate number of shares of Stock available for issuance pursuant
to Awards under the Plan and shall again be available for issuance pursuant to Award under the Plan.  If the exercise price
and/or withholding obligation under a Stock Option is satisfied by tendering shares of Stock to the Company (either by actual
delivery or attestation), only the number of shares of Stock issued net of the share of Stock so tendered shall be deemed delivered
for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan.

           
3.6        Each Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written Award
Agreement.  Each Award Agreement shall be subject to and incorporate, by reference or otherwise, the applicable terms and
conditions of the Plan, and any other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as may be imposed by the
Committee.

4

   

           
3.7        The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates for shares of
Stock prior to:

           
(a)        the listing of such shares on any stock exchange on which the Stock may then be
listed; and

           
(b)        the completion of any registration or qualification of such shares of Stock under any
federal or state law, or any ruling or regulation of any government body which the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to
be necessary or advisable.

The Company will from time to time, as is necessary to accomplish the purposes of this
Plan, seek to obtain from any regulatory agency having jurisdiction any requisite authority in order to issue and sell shares of
Stock hereunder.  The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory agency having jurisdiction the authority deemed
by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of the Stock hereunder shall relieve
the Company of any liability in respect of the nonissuance or sale of the Stock as to which the requisite authority shall not have
been obtained.

           
3.8        All certificates for shares of Stock delivered under the Plan shall also be subject
to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed and any applicable
federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such certificates to make appropriate
reference to such restrictions.  In making such determination, the Committee may rely upon an opinion of counsel for the
Company.

           
3.9        Except as provided otherwise in the Plan or in an Award Agreement, no Participant
awarded a Stock Option or Stock Award shall have any right as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Stock covered by his or
her Stock Option or Stock Award prior to the date of issuance to him or her of a certificate or certificates for such shares of
Stock.

           
3.10      If any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, stock dividend, or
consolidation of shares of Stock, merger or consolidation or separation, including a spin-off, of the Company or sale or other
disposition by the Company of all or a portion of its assets, any other change in the Company’s corporate structure, or any
distribution to shareholders other than a cash dividend results in the outstanding shares of Stock, or any securities exchanged
therefore or received in their place, being exchanged for a different number or class of shares of Stock or other securities of the
Company, or for shares of Stock or other securities of any other corporation; or new, different or additional shares or other
securities of the Company or of any other corporation being received by the holders of outstanding shares of Stock, then the
Committee may make equitable adjustments in:

           
(a)        the limitation on the aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be awarded as set
forth in Plan Section 3.5;

           
(b)        the number of shares and class of Stock that may be subject to an Award, and which
have not been issued or transferred under an outstanding Award;

           
(c)        the purchase price to be paid per share of Stock under outstanding Stock Options;
and

           
(d)        the terms, conditions or restrictions of any Award and Award Agreement, including the
price payable for the acquisition of Stock;

5

   

provided, however, that all adjustments made as the result of the foregoing in respect of
each Incentive Stock Option shall be made so that such Stock Option shall continue to be an Incentive Stock Option within the
meaning of Code section 422, unless the Committee takes affirmative action to treat such Stock Option instead as a Nonqualified
Stock Option.

           
3.11      In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as directors or as members
of the Committee, the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against reasonable expenses, including
attorney’s fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in
connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act
under or in connection with the Plan or any Award granted there under, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof,
provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company, or paid by them in satisfaction of a
judgment or settlement in any such action, suit or proceeding, except as to matters as to which the Committee member has been
negligent or engaged in misconduct in the performance of his duties; provided, that within 60 days after institution of any such
action, suit or proceeding, a Committee member shall in writing offer the Company the opportunity, at its own expense, to handle
and defend the same.

           
3.12      The Committee may require each person purchasing shares of Stock pursuant to a Stock Option or
other Award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that he is acquiring the shares of Stock without a
view to distribution thereof.  The certificates for such shares of Stock may include any legend that the Committee deems
appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

           
3.13      The Committee shall be authorized to make adjustments in performance based criteria or in the
terms and conditions of other Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company or its financial
statements or changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles.  The Committee may correct any defect, supply
any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem
desirable to carry it into effect.  In the event the Company shall assume outstanding employee benefit awards or the right or
obligation to make future such awards in connection with the acquisition of another corporation or business entity, the Committee
may, in its discretion, make such adjustments in the terms of Awards under the Plan as it shall deem appropriate.

           
3.14      All outstanding Awards to any Participant may be canceled if (a) the Participant, without the
consent of the Committee, while employed by the Company or after termination of such employment, becomes associated with, employed
by, renders services to, or owns any interest in, other than any insubstantial interest, as determined by the Committee, any
business that is in competition with the Company or with any business in which the Company has a substantial interest as determined
by the Committee; or (b) the Participant is terminated for cause as determined by the Committee.

           
3.15      In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities
pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, a Participant shall not sell, make any
short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer for value or
otherwise agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Stock acquired under the Plan without the prior
written consent of the Company or its underwriters.  Such restriction (the “Market Stand-Off”) shall be in effect
for such period of time from and after the effective date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the
Company or such underwriters.  In no event, however, shall such period exceed the period for which securities owned by the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company are subject to the same

6

   

restrictions.  Any new, substituted or additional securities
that are by reason of any recapitalization or reorganization distributed with respect to Stock acquired under the Plan shall be
immediately subject to the Market Stand-Off, to the same extent the Stock acquired under the Plan is at such time covered by such
provisions.  In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer restrictions with respect to the
Stock acquired under the Plan until the end of the applicable stand-off period.

ARTICLE IV - INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS

           
4.1        Each provision of this Article IV and of each Incentive Stock Option granted under
the Plan shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of Code section 422, and any provision hereof that cannot be so
construed shall be disregarded.

           
4.2        Incentive Stock Options shall be granted only to Eligible Participants who are in the
active employment of the Company, and to individuals to whom grants are conditioned upon active employment, each of whom may be
granted one or more such Incentive Stock Options for a reason related to his employment at such time or times determined by the
Committee following the Effective Date through the date which is ten (10) years following the Effective Date, subject to the
following conditions:

           
(a)        The Incentive Stock Option exercise price per share of Stock shall be set in the
Agreement, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Option Grant Date.  If the Eligible
Participant owns more than 10% of the outstanding Stock (as determined pursuant to Code section 424(d)) on the Option Grant Date,
the Incentive Stock Option exercise price per share shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Option
Grant Date; provided, however, that if an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such an Eligible Participant at an exercise price
per share that is less than 110% of Fair Market Value of the stock on the Option Grant Date, such Option shall be deemed a
Nonqualified Stock Option.

           
(b)        The Incentive Stock Option may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time
within ten (10) years from the Option Grant Date (five (5) years if the Eligible Participant owns more than 10% of the Stock on the
Option Grant Date), or such shorter period as may be specified by the Committee in the Award; provided, that in any event, the
Incentive Stock Option and related Stock right shall lapse and cease to be exercisable upon the expiration of thirty (30) days
after a Termination of Employment other than as a result of death, disability, a Change in Control, Retirement or within such
period following a Termination of Employment as shall have been specified in the Incentive Stock Option Award Agreement.  If
Termination of Employment occurs as a result of death, Disability, Change of Control, or Retirement each unvested or unmatured
Incentive Stock Option Award shall be accelerated; such acceleration shall be effective as of the date of death, Disability, Change
of Control, or Retirement, as appropriate, and each Incentive Stock Option so accelerated shall be exercisable in full for so long
as it is still in force and unexpired under its terms.  No period following a Termination of Employment shall extend the
original exercise period of the Incentive Stock Option.

           
(c)        To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Option Grant
Date, of the shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options (determined without regard to this subsection) are first
exercisable during any calendar year (under this Plan or any other plan of the Company and its parent and subsidiary corporations
(within the meaning

7

   

of Code sections 424(e) and 424(f), respectively)), by Participant exceeds $100,000, such Incentive Stock
Options granted under the Plan shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options granted under Article V.

           
(d)        The Committee may adopt any other terms and conditions which it determines should be
imposed for the Incentive Stock Option to qualify under Code section 422, as well as any other terms and conditions not
inconsistent with this Article IV as determined by the Committee.

           
(e)        All or any portion of the shares of Stock authorized for issuance pursuant to Section
3.5 herein shall be available for issuance pursuant to Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan.

           
4.3        To the extent an Incentive Stock Option fails to meet the requirements of Code
section 422, it shall be deemed a Nonqualified Stock Option.

           
4.4        The Committee may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash, Stock, or
Restricted Stock an Incentive Stock Option previously granted, based on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish
and communicate to the Participant at the time that such offer is made.

           
4.5        If the Incentive Stock Option Award Agreement so provides, the Committee may require
that all or part of the shares of Stock to be issued upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option shall take the form of
Restricted Stock, which shall be valued on the date of exercise, as determined by the Committee, on the basis of the Fair Market
Value of such Restricted Stock determined without regard to the deferral limitations and/or forfeiture restrictions
involved.

           
4.6        Any Incentive Stock Option that fails to qualify under section 422 of the Code shall
be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option granted under Article V.

ARTICLE V - NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS

           
5.1        Nonqualified Stock Options may be granted to Eligible Participants to purchase shares
of Stock at such time or times determined by the Committee, following the Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Article V.

           
5.2        The Nonqualified Stock Option exercise price per share of Stock shall be established
in the Agreement and may be more than, equal to or less than 100% of the Fair Market Value at the time of the grant, but may not be
less than par value of the Stock.

           
5.3        A Nonqualified Stock Option may be exercised in full or in part from time to time
within ten(10) years from the Stock Option Grant Date or such shorter period as may be specified by the Committee in the Agreement;
provided that the Nonqualified Stock Option shall lapse and cease to be exercisable upon the expiration of thirty (30) days after
Termination of Employment other than as a result of death, disability, Change in Control of the Company, or Retirement, or within
such period following a Termination of Employment as shall have been specified in the Nonqualified Stock Option Award
Agreement.  No Termination of Employment pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall extend the original exercise period of the
Nonqualified Stock Option.

           
5.4.       If Termination of Employment is as a result of
death, Disability, Change of Control of the Company, or Retirement, each unvested or unmatured Nonqualified Stock Option Award
shall be accelerated.  Such acceleration shall be effective as of the date of death, Disability, Change of Control, or
Retirement, as appropriate, and each Nonqualified Stock Option so accelerated shall be exercisable in full for so long as it is
still in force and unexpired under its terms.  No Termination of Employment pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall extend the
original exercise period of the Nonqualified Stock Option.

8

   

           
5.5.        The Nonqualified Stock Option Award
Agreement may include any other terms and conditions not inconsistent with this Article V, as determined by the
Committee.

ARTICLE VI – AUTOMATIC GRANTS

           
6.1          Beginning in 2003, on the last Monday of each July, each member of the Board of Directors
of SI Diamond Technology, Inc. who is not a salaried employee of or an exclusive full-time consultant to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries shall receive Nonqualified Stock Option award to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant
to the provisions of the Plan. If any such Director has not served a full year as a Director of the Company since the last Monday
of July of the previous year, then that Director shall receive that number of Options equivalent to the product of (a) 50,000
multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months which have elapsed between the commencement of such
Director’s service and the month of July relating to any current grant of options, and the denominator of which is
12.

           
6.2          The purchase price of each share of Common Sstock that is subject to an Option granted
pursuant to this automatic grant shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value of such share of Common Stock on the Date of
Grant

           
6.3          The terms of the automatic grant pursuant to this Section VI may be modified by the
Committee.

           
6.4          For calendar year 2002 only, since the previous plan covering outside directors expired in
March 2002, the terms of the automatic grant are as follows. A grant of 50,000 options will be made to each Director eligible to
receive grants pursuant to this Article VI on December 31, 2002. This number of options and the price of the options will be
calculated as if the grant was made the last Monday of July 2002 pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1 above, including prorating
for partial years served between July 2001 and July 2002. These options will be priced at the closing price on the last Monday of
July 2002.

ARTICLE VII - INCIDENTS OF STOCK OPTIONS

           
7.1        Each Stock Option shall be granted subject to such terms and conditions, if any, not
inconsistent with this Plan, as shall be determined by the Committee, including any provisions as to continued employment as
consideration for the grant or exercise of such Stock Option and any provisions that may be advisable to comply with applicable
laws, regulations or rulings of any governmental authority.

           
7.2        The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be covered by Stock Options granted to
any one individual during any calendar year (including Stock Options that are subsequently canceled) shall be 500,000 shares. 
If a Stock Option is canceled, terminated or repriced with respect to an individual, the canceled, terminated or repriced Stock
Option shall be counted against the maximum number of shares for which Stock Options may be granted to such individual.

           
7.3        Except as provided below, a Stock Option shall not be transferable by the Participant
other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or, to the extent otherwise allowed by applicable law, pursuant to a
qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or
the rules there under, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by him or in the event of his death or
Disability, by his guardian or legal representative; provided, however, that a Nonqualified Stock Option  may be transferred
and exercised by the transferee to the extent determined by the Committee to be consistent with securities and

9

   

other applicable
laws, rules and regulations and with Company policy.  Notwithstanding any language herein or in any Agreement to the contrary,
any restrictions on transfer of a Stock Option in the Plan or an Agreement shall be void and of no effect if the Committee
determines that a transfer can be made consistent with securities and other applicable laws, rules and regulations.

           
7.4        Shares of Stock purchased upon exercise of a Stock Option shall be paid for at the
time of exercise (or, in case of an exercise pursuant to a cashless exercise mechanism described below, as soon as practicable
after such exercise) in cash. The Committee may establish a cashless exercise mechanism by which a Participant may pay the exercise
price under a Stock Option by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares)
acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sales proceeds to pay the entire
exercise price and/or any tax withholding resulting from such exercise. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee may establish
payment terms for the exercise of Stock Options which permit the Participant to pay for shares received pursuant to the Plan
through a payment plan approved by the committee.

           
7.5        No cash dividends shall be paid on shares of Stock subject to unexercised Stock
Options.  The Committee may provide, however, that a Participant to whom a Stock Option has been granted which is exercisable
in whole or in part at a future time for shares of Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount per share equal in value to the
cash dividends, if any, paid per share on issued and outstanding Stock, as of the dividend record dates occurring during the period
between the date of the grant and the time each such share of Stock is delivered pursuant to exercise of such Stock Option or Stock
Right.  Such amounts (herein called “dividend equivalents”) may, in the discretion of the Committee,
be:

           
(a)        paid in cash or Stock either from time to time prior to, or at the time of the
delivery of, such Stock, or upon expiration of the Stock Option or Stock Right if it shall not have been fully exercised;
or

           
(b)        converted into contingently credited shares of Stock, with respect to which dividend
equivalents may accrue, in such manner, at such value, and deliverable at such time or times, as may be determined by the
Committee.

            Such Stock, whether
delivered or contingently credited, shall be charged against the limitations set forth in Plan Section 3.5.

           
7.6        The Committee, in its sole discretion, may authorize payment of interest equivalents
on dividend equivalents which are payable in cash at a future time.

           
7.7        In the event of Disability or death, the Committee, with the consent of the
Participant or his legal representative, may authorize payment, in cash or in Stock, or partly in cash and partly in Stock, as the
Committee may direct, of an amount equal to the difference at the time between the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to a
Stock Option and the option price in consideration of the surrender of the Stock Option.

           
7.8        If a Participant is required to pay to the Company an amount with respect to income
and employment tax withholding obligations in connection with exercise of a Nonqualified Stock Option, and/or with respect to
certain dispositions of Stock acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, the Committee, in its discretion and subject
to such rules as it may adopt, may permit the Participant to satisfy the obligation, in whole or in part, by surrendering shares of
Stock which the Participant already owns or by making an irrevocable election that, in lieu of the issuance of Stock, a portion of
the total Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock subject to the Nonqualified Stock Option or Stock ight and/or with respect to
certain dispositions of Stock acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive

10

   

Stock Option, be surrendered for cash and that such cash
payment be applied to the satisfaction of the withholding obligations.  The amount to be withheld shall not exceed the
statutory minimum federal and state income and employment tax liability arising from the Stock Option exercise
transaction.

           
7.9        The Committee may permit the voluntary surrender of all or a portion of any Stock
Option granted under the Plan to be conditioned upon the granting to the Participant of a new Stock Option for the same or a
different number of shares of Stock as the Stock Option surrendered, or may require such surrender as a condition precedent to a
grant of a new Stock Option to such Participant.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, such new Stock Option shall be
exercisable at such price, during such period and on such other terms and conditions as are specified by the Committee at the time
the new Stock Option is granted.  Upon surrender, the Stock Options surrendered shall be canceled and the shares of Stock
previously subject to them shall be available for the grant of other Stock Options.

           
7.10      The Committee may provide in any Stock Option Agreement entered into pursuant to the Plan, or by
separate agreement, that if a Participant makes payment upon the exercise of any Stock Option granted hereunder in whole or in part
through the surrender of shares of Stock, such Participant shall automatically receive a new Stock Option for the number of shares
of Stock so surrendered by him at a price equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock at the time of surrender,
exercisable on the same basis and having the same terms as the underlying Stock Option or on such other basis as the Committee
shall determine and provide in the Stock Option Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII - STOCK AWARDS

           
8.1        A Stock Award shall be granted only in payment of compensation that has been earned
or as compensation to be earned, including without limitation, compensation awarded concurrently with or prior to the grant of the
Stock Award.

           
8.2        For the purposes of this Plan, in determining the value of a Stock Award, all shares
of Stock subject to such Stock Award shall be valued at not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such shares of Stock on the
date such Stock Award is granted, regardless of whether or when such shares of Stock are issued or transferred to the Participant
and whether or not such shares of Stock are subject to restrictions which affect their value.

           
8.3        Shares of Stock subject to a Stock Award may be issued or transferred to the
Participant at the time the Stock Award is granted, or at any time subsequent thereto, or in installments from time to time, as the
Committee shall determine.  If any such issuance or transfer shall not be made to the Participant at the time the Stock Award
is granted, the Committee may provide for payment to such Participant, either in cash or shares of Stock, from time to time or at
the time or times such shares of Stock shall be issued or transferred to such Participant, of amounts not exceeding the dividends
which would have been payable to such Participant in respect of such shares of Stock, as adjusted under Section 3.10, if such
shares of Stock had been issued or transferred to such Participant at the time such Stock Award was granted.  Any issuance
payable in shares of Stock under the terms of a Stock Award, at the discretion of the Committee, may be paid in cash on each date
on which delivery of shares of Stock would otherwise have been made, in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value on such date of
the shares of Stock which would otherwise have been delivered.

           
8.4        A Stock Award shall be subject to such terms and conditions, including without
limitation, restrictions on the sale or other disposition of the Stock Award or of the shares of Stock issued or transferred
pursuant to such Stock Award, as the Committee shall determine; provided, however, that upon the issuance or transfer of shares
pursuant to a Stock Award, the Participant, with respect to such shares of Stock, shall be and become a shareholder of the Company
fully entitled to receive dividends, to

11

   

vote to the extent, if any, such shares possess voting rights and to exercise all other
rights of a shareholder except to the extent otherwise provided in the Stock Award.  Each Stock Award shall be evidenced by a
written Award Agreement in such form as the Committee shall determine.

ARTICLE IX – ACCELERATION OF AWARDS

           9.1.        Stock Options granted under the Plan shall
be accelerated and become fully exercisable or any restrictions on a Stock Award shall lapse upon a Change in Control (as
hereinafter defined) of the Company. For purposes of this plan, a “Change in Control” shall be conclusively deemed to
have occurred if (and only if) any of the following events shall have occurred:

  	there shall have occurred an event required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of
Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or in response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting
requirement.

  	Any “person” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange
Act) shall have become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then
outstanding voting securities without prior approval of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board in office immediately prior
to such person’s attaining such interest.

  	The Company is party to a merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or other reorganization,
or a proxy contest as a consequence of which members of the Board in office immediately prior to such transaction or event
constitute less than a majority of the Board thereafter

  	During any period of two consecutive  years, individuals who at the beginning of such
period constituted the Board (including for this purpose any new Director whose election or nomination for election by the
Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors then still in office who were Directors
at the beginning of such period) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board.

ARTICLE X - AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

           
10.1      The Board at any time and from time to time, may amend or terminate the Plan. To the extent
required by Code section 422 and/or the rules of the exchange upon which the Stock is traded, no amendment, without approval by the
Company’s shareholders, shall:

           
(a)        alter the group of persons eligible to participate in the Plan;

           
(b)        except as provided in  Plan Section 3.5, increase the maximum number of shares
of Stock which are available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan;

           
(c)        extend the period during which Incentive Stock Options may be granted beyond the date
which is ten (10) years following the Effective Date.

12

   

           
(d)        limit or restrict the powers of the Committee with respect to the administration of
this Plan;

           
(e)        change the definition of an Eligible Participant for the purpose of Incentive Stock
Options or increase the limit or the value of shares of Stock for which an Eligible Participant may be granted an Incentive Stock
Option;

           
(f)        materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under this Plan;

           
(g)        materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in this Plan;
or

           
(h)        change any of the provisions of this Article X.

           
10.2      No amendment to or discontinuance of this Plan or any provision thereof by the Board or the
shareholders of the Company shall, without the written consent of the Participant, adversely affect, as shall be determined by the
Committee, any Award previously granted to such Participant under this Plan; provided, however, the Committee retains the right and
power to treat any outstanding Incentive Stock Option as a Nonqualified Stock Option in accordance with Plan Section
4.3.

           
10.3      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the right to receive or benefit from any
Award, either alone or together with payments that a Participant has the right to receive from the Company, would constitute a
“parachute payment” under Code section 280G, all such payments may be reduced, in the discretion of the Committee, to
the largest amount that will avoid an excise tax to the Participant under Code section 280G.

ARTICLE XI - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

           
11.1      Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall confer upon any Participant any
right to continue in the employ of the Company, or to serve as a director thereof, or interfere in any way with the right of the
Company to terminate his or her employment at any time.  Unless agreed by the Board, no Award granted under the Plan shall be
deemed salary or compensation for the purpose of computing benefits under any employee benefit plan or other arrangement of the
Company for the benefit of its employees.  No Participant shall have any claim to an Award until it is actually granted under
the Plan.  To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right
shall, except as otherwise provided by the Committee, be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the
Company.  All payments to be made under the Plan shall be paid from the general funds of the company, and no special or
separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts, except as
otherwise provided by the Committee.

           
11.2      The Committee may make such provisions and take such steps as it may deem necessary or
appropriate for the withholding of any taxes which the Company is required by any law or regulation of any governmental authority,
whether federal, state or local, domestic or foreign, to withhold in connection with any Award or the exercise thereof, including,
but not limited to, withholding the payment of all or any portion of such Award or another Award under this Plan until the
Participant reimburses the Company for the amount the Company is required to withhold with respect to such taxes, or canceling any
portion of such Award or another Award under this Plan in an amount sufficient to reimburse itself for the amount it is required to
so withhold, or selling any property contingently credited by the Company for the purpose of paying such Award or another Award
under this Plan in order to withhold or reimburse itself for the amount it is required to so withhold.  The amount to be
withheld shall not exceed the statutory minimum federal and state income and employment tax liability arising from the exercise
transaction.

13

   

           
11.3      The Plan and the grant of Awards shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws,
rules, and regulations and to such approvals by any United States government or regulatory agency as may be required.

           
11.4      The terms of the Plan shall be binding upon the Company, and its successors and
assigns.

           
11.5      The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred
compensation.  With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give
any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.  In its sole discretion, the
Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver
shares of Stock or payments in lieu of or with respect to Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that, unless the Committee
otherwise determines with the consent of the affected Participant, the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent
with the “unfunded” status of the Plan.

           
11.6      Each Participant exercising an Award under the Plan agrees to give the Committee prompt written
notice of any election made by such Participant under Code section 83(b) or any similar provision thereof.

           
11.7      If any provision of this Plan or an Award Agreement is or becomes or is deemed invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award Agreement under any law deemed applicable by the
Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws or if it cannot be construed or deemed
amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award Agreement, it shall
be stricken and the remainder of the Plan or the Award Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF,
this Plan is executed this the 17th  day of May, 2002.
