however, that only the Committee may exercise such duties, power and authority
with respect to Eligible Recipients who are subject to Section 16 of the

be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the
Plan or any Incentive Award granted under the Plan.

<PAGE>

         3.3      AUTHORITY OF THE COMMITTEE.

                  (a) In accordance with and subject to the provisions of the
         Plan, the Committee will have the authority to determine all provisions
         of Incentive Awards as the Committee may deem necessary or desirable
         and as consistent with the terms of the Plan, including, without
         limitation, the following: (i) the Eligible Recipients to be selected
         as Participants; (ii) the nature and extent of the Incentive Awards to
         be made to each Participant (including the number of shares of Common
         Stock to be subject to each Incentive Award, any exercise price, the
         manner in which Incentive Awards will vest or become exercisable and
         whether Incentive Awards will be granted in tandem with other Incentive
         Awards) and the form of written agreement, if any, evidencing such
         Incentive Award; (iii) the time or times when Incentive Awards will be
         granted; (iv) the duration of each Incentive Award; and (v) the
         restrictions and other conditions to which the payment or vesting of
         Incentive Awards may be subject. In addition, the Committee will have
         the authority under the Plan in its sole discretion to pay the economic
         value of any Incentive Award in the form of cash, Common Stock or any
         combination of both.

                  (b) The Committee will have the authority under the Plan to
         amend or modify the terms of any outstanding Incentive Award in any
         manner, including, without limitation, the authority to modify the
         number of shares or other terms and conditions of an Incentive Award,
         extend the term of an Incentive Award, accelerate the exercisability or
         vesting or otherwise terminate any restrictions relating to an
         Incentive Award, accept the surrender of any outstanding Incentive
         Award or, to the extent not previously exercised or vested, authorize
         the grant of new Incentive Awards in substitution for surrendered
         Incentive Awards; provided, however that the amended or modified terms
         are permitted by the Plan as then in effect and that any Participant
         adversely affected by such amended or modified terms has consented to
         such amendment or modification.

4.       SHARES AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE.

         4.1 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES. Subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 4.3 of the Plan, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that will
be available for issuance under the Plan will be 4,840,000 shares.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant
in the Plan may be granted any Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, or any
other Incentive Awards relating to more than 400,000 shares of Common Stock in
the aggregate in any fiscal year of the Company (subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 4.3 of the Plan).

         4.2 ACCOUNTING FOR INCENTIVE AWARDS. Shares of Common Stock that are
issued under the Plan or that are subject to outstanding Incentive Awards will
be applied to reduce the maximum number of shares of Common Stock remaining
available for issuance under the Plan. Any shares of Common Stock that are
subject to an Incentive Award that lapses, expires, is forfeited or for any
reason is terminated unexercised or unvested and any shares of Common Stock that
are subject to an Incentive Award that is settled or paid in cash or any form
other than shares of Common Stock will automatically again become available for
issuance under the Plan.

<PAGE>

         4.3 ADJUSTMENTS TO SHARES AND INCENTIVE AWARDS. In the event of any
reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation,
reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, rights
offering, divestiture or extraordinary dividend (including a spin-off) or any
other change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company, the Committee
(or, if the Company is not the surviving corporation in any such transaction,
the board of directors of the surviving corporation) will make appropriate
adjustment (which determination will be conclusive) as to the number and kind of
securities available for issuance under the Plan and, in order to prevent
dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants, the number, kind and,
where applicable, exercise price of securities subject to outstanding Incentive
Awards.

5.       PARTICIPATION.

Participants in the Plan will be those Eligible Recipients who, in the judgment
of the Committee, have contributed, are contributing or are expected to
contribute to the achievement of economic objectives of the Company or its
Subsidiaries. Eligible Recipients may be granted from time to time one or more
Incentive Awards, singly or in combination or in tandem with other Incentive
Awards, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Incentive
Awards will be deemed to be granted as of the date specified in the grant
resolution of the Committee, which date will be the date of any related
agreement with the Participant.

6.       OPTIONS.

         6.1 GRANT. An Eligible Recipient may be granted one or more Options
under the Plan, and such Options will be subject to such terms and conditions,
consistent with the other provisions of the Plan, as may be determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee may designate whether an Option
is to be considered an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Statutory Stock Option.

         6.2 EXERCISE PRICE. The per share price to be paid by a Participant
upon exercise of an Option will be determined by the Committee in its discretion
at the time of the Option grant, provided that (a) such price will not be less
than 100% of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of
grant with respect to an Incentive Stock Option (110% of the Fair Market Value
if, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, the Participant owns,
directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the
Company), and (b) such price will not be less than 85% of the Fair Market Value
of one share of Common Stock on the date of grant with respect to a
Non-Statutory Stock Option.

         6.3 EXERCISABILITY AND DURATION. An Option will become exercisable at
such times and in such installments as may be determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion at the time of grant; provided, however, that no Incentive Stock
Option may be exercisable after 10 years from its date of grant.

         6.4 PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The total purchase price of the shares
to be purchased upon exercise of an Option will be paid entirely in cash
(including check, bank draft or money order); provided, however, that the
Committee, in its sole discretion and upon terms and conditions established by
the Committee, may allow such payments to be made, in whole or in

<PAGE>

part, by tender of a Broker Exercise Notice, Previously Acquired Shares, a
promissory note (on terms acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion) or
by a combination of such methods.

         6.5 MANNER OF EXERCISE. An Option may be exercised by a Participant in
whole or in part from time to time, subject to the conditions contained in the
Plan and in the agreement evidencing such Option, by delivery in person, by
facsimile or electronic transmission or through the mail of written notice of
exercise to the Company (Attention: Secretary) at its principal executive office
in Minneapolis, Minnesota (such notice to specify the particular Option that is
being exercised and the number of shares with respect to which the Option is
being exercised) accompanied by payment of the total purchase price of the
shares to be purchased in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Plan.

         6.6 AGGREGATE LIMITATION OF STOCK SUBJECT TO INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS.
To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date an
Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the shares of Common Stock with respect to
which incentive stock options (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code)
are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year
(under the Plan and any other incentive stock option plans of the Company or any
subsidiary or parent corporation of the Company (within the meaning of the
Code)) exceeds $100,000 (or such other amount as may be prescribed by the Code
from time to time), such excess Options will be treated as Non-Statutory Stock
Options. The determination will be made by taking incentive stock options into
account in the order in which they were granted. If such excess only applies to
a portion of an incentive stock option, the Committee, in its discretion, may
designate which shares will be treated as shares to be acquired upon exercise of
an incentive stock option.

         6.7      AUTOMATIC GRANTS TO NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS.

                  (a) GRANTS OF OPTIONS. At such time as, following the
         effective date of the Plan, new Non-Employee Directors are first
         elected or appointed to the Board of Directors to fill new
         directorships or to fill vacancies, such Non-Employee Directors will be
         granted automatically, on a one-time basis on the date of their
         election or appointment, a Non-Statutory Stock Option to purchase
         10,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in
         Section 4.3 of the Plan). In addition, on the date of each Annual
         Meeting of Shareholders of the Company following the date a
         Non-Employee Director is first elected or appointed to the Board of
         Directors, each person who is a Non-Employee Director as of such date
         will be granted automatically a Non-Statutory Stock Option to purchase
         4,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in
         Section 4.3 of the Plan).

                  (b) OPTION EXERCISE PRICE. The per share price to be paid by
         the Non-Employee Director at the time such an Option is exercised will
         be 100% of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the
         date the Option is granted.

                  (c) DURATION OF OPTIONS. Each such Option will terminate five
         years after its date of grant and will become exercisable in full three
         years after its date of grant.

                  (d) EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF DIRECTORSHIP. In the event a
         Non-Employee Director's service as a director of the Company is
         terminated for any reason other than

<PAGE>

         death, Disability or Retirement, all such Options then held by the
         Non-Employee Director will continue to become exercisable and expire in
         accordance with their terms. In the event a Non-Employee Directors'
         service as a director of the Company is terminated due to death,
         Disability or Retirement in accordance with the Board's then current
         Retirement policy, all Options then held by the Non-Employee Director
         will become immediately exercisable in full and will expire in
         accordance with their terms. Such Options will not be subject to the
         termination provisions of Section 11 of the Plan.

                  (e) COMMITTEE MODIFICATION. The Committee has the authority to
         amend the eligibility requirements for, or modify the terms or
         accelerate the vesting of, such Options (including, without limitation,
         the authority to modify the rights of Non-Employee Directors in
         connection with termination of service as a director or a change in
         control of the Company).

                  (f) MANNER OF OPTION EXERCISE. An Option may be exercised by a
         Non-Employee Director in whole or in part from time to time, subject to
         the conditions contained in the Plan and in the agreement evidencing
         such Option, by delivery in person, by facsimile or electronic
         transmission or through the mail of written notice of exercise to the
         Company (Attention: Secretary) at its principal executive office in
         Minneapolis, Minnesota (such notice to specify the particular Option
         that is being exercised and the number of shares with respect to which
         the Option is being exercised) accompanied by payment of the total
         purchase price of the shares to be purchased in accordance with Section
         6.4 of the Plan.

7.       STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

         7.1 GRANT. An Eligible Recipient may be granted one or more Stock
Appreciation Rights under the Plan, and such Stock Appreciation Rights shall be
subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of
the Plan, as will be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

         7.2 EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right
will be determined by the Committee, in its discretion, at the date of grant but
will not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock
on the date of grant.

         7.3 EXERCISABILITY AND DURATION. A Stock Appreciation Right will become
exercisable at such time and in such installments as may be determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion at the time of grant; provided, however, that
no Stock Appreciation Right may be exercisable after 10 years from its date of
grant. A Stock Appreciation Right will be exercised by giving notice in the same
manner as for Options, as set forth in Section 6.5 of the Plan.

8.       RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS.

         8.1 GRANT. An Eligible Recipient may be granted one or more Restricted
Stock Awards under the Plan, and such Restricted Stock Awards will be subject to
such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of the Plan, as
may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee may
impose such restrictions or conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of
the Plan, to the vesting of such Restricted Stock Awards as it

<PAGE>

deems appropriate, including, without limitation, that the Participant remain in
the continuous employ or service of the Company or a Subsidiary for a certain
period or that the Participant or the Company (or any Subsidiary or division
thereof) satisfy certain performance goals or criteria. Any Restricted Stock
that is not vested shall be forfeited.

         8.2 RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER; TRANSFERABILITY. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, a Participant will have all voting, dividend,
liquidation and other rights with respect to shares of Common Stock issued to
the Participant as a Restricted Stock Award under this Section 8 upon the
Participant becoming the holder of record of such shares as if such Participant
were a holder of record of shares of unrestricted Common Stock.

         8.3 DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. Unless the Committee determines
otherwise in its sole discretion (either in the agreement evidencing the
Restricted Stock Award at the time of grant or at any time after the grant of
the Restricted Stock Award), any dividends or distributions (including regular
quarterly cash dividends) paid with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to
the unvested portion of a Restricted Stock Award will be subject to the same
restrictions as the shares to which such dividends or distributions relate. In
the event the Committee determines not to pay such dividends or distributions
currently, the Committee will determine in its sole discretion whether any
interest will be paid on such dividends or distributions. In addition, the
Committee in its sole discretion may require such dividends and distributions to
be reinvested (and in such case the Participants consent to such reinvestment)
in shares of Common Stock that will be subject to the same restrictions as the
shares to which such dividends or distributions relate.

         8.4 ENFORCEMENT OF RESTRICTIONS. To enforce the restrictions referred
to in this Section 8, the Committee may place a legend on the stock certificates
referring to such restrictions and may require the Participant, until the
restrictions have lapsed, to keep the stock certificates, together with duly
endorsed stock powers, in the custody of the Company or its transfer agent or to
maintain evidence of stock ownership, together with duly endorsed stock powers,
in a certificateless book-entry stock account with the Company's transfer agent.

9.       PERFORMANCE UNITS.

     An Eligible Recipient may be granted one or more Performance Units under
     the Plan, and such Performance Units will be subject to such terms,
     conditions, and restrictions consistent with the other provisions of the
     Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The
     Committee will have the sole discretion either to determine the form in
     which payment of the economic value of vested Performance Units will be
     made to the Participant (i.e., cash, Common Stock or any combination
     thereof) or to consent to or disapprove the election by the Participant of
     the form of such payment.

10.      STOCK BONUSES.

     An Eligible Recipient may be granted one or more Stock Bonuses under the
     Plan, and such Stock Bonuses will be subject to such terms and conditions,
     consistent with the other provisions of the Plan, as may be determined by
     the Committee in its sole discretion. The Participant will have all voting,
     dividend, liquidation and other rights with respect to the

<PAGE>

     shares of Common Stock issued to a Participant as a Stock Bonus under this
     Section 10 upon the Participant becoming the holder of record of such
     shares; provided, however, that the Committee may impose such restrictions
     on the assignment or transfer of a Stock Bonus as it deems appropriate.

11.      EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER SERVICE.

         11.1 TERMINATION DUE TO DEATH OR DISABILITY. In the event a
Participant's employment or other service with the Company and all Subsidiaries
is terminated by reason of death or Disability;

                  (a) All outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights then
         held by the Participant will become immediately exercisable in full and
         will remain exercisable for a period of one year after such termination

         appreciation Right);

                  (b) All outstanding Restricted Stock Awards then held by the
         Participant will become immediately fully vested and non-forfeitable;
         and

         held by the Participant will vest and/or continue to vest in the manner
         determined by the Committee and set forth in the agreement evidencing
         such Performance Units or Stock Bonuses.

         11.2 TERMINATION DUE TO RETIREMENT. In the event a Participant's
employment or other service with the Company and all Subsidiaries is terminated

         Subsidiary of the Company (unless the Participant continues in the
         employ or service of the Company or another Subsidiary), all rights of
         the Participant under the

         Plan and any agreements evidencing an Incentive Award will immediately
         terminate without notice of any kind, and no Options or Stock
         Appreciation Rights then held by the Participant will thereafter be
         exercisable, all Restricted Stock Awards, Performance Units and Stock
         Bonuses then held by the Participant that have not vested will be
         terminated and forfeited, however, that if such termination is due to
         any reason other than termination by the Company or any Subsidiary for
         "cause," all outstanding Incentive Awards then held by such Participant
         will remain exercisable to the extent exercisable as of such
         termination for a period of three months after such termination (but in
         no event after the expiration date of any such Incentive Award), or for
         such greater or lesser period as the Committee may determine.

                  (b) For purposes of this Section 11.3, "cause" (as determined
         by the Committee) will be as defined in any employment or other
         agreement or policy applicable to the Participant or, if no such
         agreement or policy exists, will mean (i) dishonesty, fraud,
         misrepresentation, embezzlement or deliberate injury or attempted
         injury, in each case related to the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) any
         unlawful or criminal activity of a serious nature, (iii) any
         intentional and deliberate breach of a duty or duties that,
         individually or in the aggregate, are material in relation to the
         Participant's overall duties, or (iv) any material breach of any
         employment, service, confidentiality or non-complete agreement entered
         into with the Company or any Subsidiary.

         11.4 MODIFICATION OF RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION. Notwithstanding the other
provisions of this Section 11, upon a Participant's termination of employment or
other service with the Company and all Subsidiaries, the Committee may, in its
sole discretion (which may be exercised at any time on or after the date of
grant, including following such termination), cause Options, Stock Appreciation
Rights, Performance Units and Stock Bonuses (or any part thereof) then held by
such Participant to become or continue to become exercisable and/or remain
exercisable following such termination of employment or service and Restricted
Stock Awards, Performance Units and Stock Bonuses then held by such Participant
to vest and/or continue to vest or become free of transfer restrictions, as the
case may be, following such termination of employment or service, in each case
in the manner determined by the Committee; provided, however, that no Option or
Stock Appreciation Right may remain exercisable beyond its expiration date.

         11.5 BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OR NON-COMPETE AGREEMENTS.
Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, in the even that a
Participant materially breaches the terms of any confidentiality or non-compete
agreement entered into with the Company or any Subsidiary, whether such breach
occurs before or after termination of such Participant's employment or other
service with the Company or any Subsidiary, the Committee in its sole discretion
may immediately terminate all rights of the Participant under the Plan and any
agreements evidencing an Incentive Award then held by the Participant without
notice of any kind.

         11.6 DATE OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER SERVICE. Unless the
Committee otherwise determines in its sole discretion, a Participant's
employment or other service will, for purposes of the Plan, be deemed to have
terminated on the date recorded on the personnel or other records of the Company
or the Subsidiary for which the Participant provides employment or other
service, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion based upon such
records.

<PAGE>

12.      PAYMENT OF WITHHOLDING TAXES.

         12.1 GENERAL RULES. The Company is entitled to (a) withhold and deduct
from future wages of the Participant (or from other amounts that may be due and
owing to the Participant from the Company or a Subsidiary), or make other
arrangements for the collection of, all legally required amounts necessary to
satisfy any and all federal, state and local withholding and employment-related
tax requirements attributable to an Incentive Award, including, without
limitation, the grant, exercise or vesting of, or payment of dividends with
respect to, an Incentive Award or a disqualifying disposition of stock received
upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, or (b) require the Participant
promptly remit the amount of such withholding to the Company before taking any
action, including issuing any shares of Common Stock with respect to an
Incentive Award.

         12.2 SPECIAL RULES. The Committee may, in its sole discretion and upon
terms and conditions established by the Committee, permit or require a
Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, any withholding or
employment-related tax obligation described in Section 12.1 of the Plan by
electing to tender Previously Acquired Shares, a Broker Exercise Notice or a
promissory note (on terms acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion),
or by a combination of such methods.

13.      CHANGE IN CONTROL.

         13.1 CHANGE IN CONTROL. For purposes of this Section 13.1, a "Change in
Control" of the Company will mean the following;

                  (a) the sale, lease, exchange or other transfer, directly or
         indirectly, of substantially all of the assets of the Company (in one
         transaction or in a series of related transactions) to a person or
         entity that is not controlled by the Company.

                  (b) the approval by the shareholders of the Company of any
         plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company;

                  (c) a merger or consolidation to which the Company is a party
         if the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the effective
         date of such merger or consolidation have "beneficial ownership" (as
         defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), immediately following
         the effective date of such merger or consolidation, of securities of
         the surviving corporation representing (i) more than 50%, but not more
         than 80%, of the combined voting power of the surviving corporation's
         then outstanding securities ordinarily having the right to vote at
         elections of directors, unless such merger or consolidation has been
         approved in advance by the Incumbent Directors (as defined in Section
         13.2 below), or (ii) 50% or less of the combined voting power of the
         surviving corporation's then outstanding securities ordinarily having
         the right to vote at elections of directors (regardless of any approval
         by the Incumbent Directors);

                  (d) any person becomes after the effective date of the Plan
         the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
         Act), directly or indirectly, of (i) 20% or more, but not 50% or more,
         of the combined voting power of the Company's

<PAGE>

         outstanding securities ordinarily having the right to vote at elections
         of directors, unless the transaction resulting in such ownership has
         been approved in advance by the Incumbent Directors, or (ii) 50% or
         more of the combined voting power of the Company's outstanding
         securities ordinarily having the right to vote at elections of
         directors (regardless of any approval by the Incumbent Directors);

                  (e) the Incumbent Directors cease for any reason to constitute
         at least a majority of the Board; or

                  (f) a change in control of the Company of a nature that would
         be required to be reported pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
         Exchange Act, whether or not the Company is then subject to such
         reporting requirements.

         13.2 INCUMBENT DIRECTORS. For purposes of this Section 13, "Incumbent
Directors" of the Company means any individuals who are members of the Board on
the effective date of the Plan and any individual who subsequently becomes a
member of the Board whose election, or nomination for election by the Company's
shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent
Directors (either by specific vote or by approval of the Company's proxy
statement in which such individual is named as a nominee for director without
objection to such nomination).

         13.3 ACCELERATION OF VESTING. Without limiting the authority of the
Committee under Section 3.1 of the Plan, if a Change in Control of the Company
occurs, then (a) all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights then held
by a Participant and not already exercised in full or otherwise terminated,
expired or canceled shall become immediately exercisable in full and will remain
exercisable for the remainder of their terms, regardless of whether the
Participant to whom such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights have been granted
remains in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary; (b) all
outstanding Restricted Stock Awards then held by the Participant will become
immediately fully vested and non-forfeitable; and (c) all outstanding
Performance Units and Stock Bonuses then held by the Participant will vest
and/or continue to vest in the manner determined by the Committee and set forth
in the agreement evidencing such Performance Units or Stock Bonuses or
otherwise.

         13.4 CASH PAYMENT FOR OPTIONS. If a Change in Control of the Company
occurs, then the Committee may determine in its sole discretion either in an
agreement evidencing an Incentive Award at the time of grant or at any time
after the grant of an Incentive Award, and without the consent of any
Participant affected thereby, that some or all Participants holding outstanding
Options will receive, with respect to some or all of the shares of Common Stock
subject to such Options, as of the effective date of any such Change in Control
of the Company, cash in an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value
of such shares immediately prior to the effective date of such Change in Control
of the Company over the exercise price per share of such Options. Any Options as
to which a Participant receives such cash payment shall be cancelled.

         13.5 LIMITATION ON CHANGE IN CONTROL PAYMENTS. Notwithstanding anything
in Section 13.3 or 13.4 of the Plan to the contrary, if, with respect to a
Participant, the acceleration of the vesting of an Incentive Award as provided
in Section 13.3 or the payment of cash in exchange for all or part of an
Incentive Award as provided in Section 13.4 (which acceleration or payment

<PAGE>

could be deemed a "payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the
Code), together with any other payments which such Participant has the right to
receive from the Company or any corporation that is a member of an "affiliated
group" (as defined Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to Section 1504(b)
of the Code) of which the Company is a member, would constitute a "parachute
payment" (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the payments to
such Participant pursuant to Section 13.3 or 13.4 will be reduced to the largest
amounts as will result in no portion of such payments being subject to the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; provided, however, that if such
Participant is subject to a separate agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary
which specifically provides that payments attributable to one or more forms of
employee stock incentives or to payments made in lieu of employee stock
incentives will not reduce any other payments under such agreement, even if it
would constitute an excess parachute payment, or provide that the Participant
will have the discretion to determine which payments will be reduced in order to
avoid an excess parachute payment, then the limitations of this Section 13.5
will, to that extent, not apply.

14. FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE. In the event of a proposed Fundamental Change:

         (a)      involving a merger, consolidation or statutory share exchange,
                  unless appropriate provision shall be made (which the
                  Committee may, but shall not be obligated to, make) for the
                  protection of the outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation
                  Rights by the substitution of options or stock appreciation
                  rights of the corporation surviving any such merger or
                  consolidation or, if appropriate, the parent corporation of
                  such surviving corporation.

         (b)      involving the dissolution or liquidation of the Company,

the Committee may, but shall not be obligated to, declare, at least twenty (20)
days prior to the occurrence of the Fundamental Change, and provide written
notice to each holder of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right of the
declaration, that each outstanding Option and Stock Appreciation Right, whether
or not then exercisable, shall be canceled at the time of, or immediately prior
to the occurrence of, the Fundamental Change in exchange for a cash payment to
each holder of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, within 20 days after the
Fundamental Change, for each share covered by the canceled Option or Stock
Appreciation Right in the amount, if any, by which the Fair Market Value (as
defined in this Section 14) per share exceeds the exercise price per share
covered by such Option or Stock Appreciation Right. At the time of the
declaration provided for in the immediately preceding sentence, each Stock
Appreciation Right and each Option shall immediately become exercisable in full
and each person holding an Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall have the
right, during the period preceding the time of cancellation of the Option or
Stock Appreciation Right, to exercise the Option as to all or any part of the
shares covered thereby or the Stock Appreciation Right in whole or in part, as
the case may be. In the event of a declaration pursuant to this Section 14, each
outstanding Option and Stock Appreciation Right that shall not have been
exercised prior to the Fundamental Change shall be canceled at the time of, or
immediately prior to the Fundamental Change, as provided in the declaration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person holding an Option or Stock Appreciation
Right shall be entitled to the payment provided for in this Section 14 if such
Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall have terminated, expired or been
cancelled. For purposes of this Section 14 ONLY, "Fair Market Value" per Share
means the cash plus the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the
Committee, of the non-cash consideration to be received per

<PAGE>

Share by the shareholders of the Company upon the occurrence of the Fundamental
Change, notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Plan.

15.      RIGHTS OF ELIGIBLE RECIPIENTS AND PARTICIPANTS; TRANSFERABILITY.

         15.1 EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE. Nothing in the Plan will interfere with or
limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the
employment or service of any Eligible Recipient or Participant at any time, nor
confer upon any Eligible Recipient or Participant any right to continue in the
employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary.

         15.2 RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. As a holder of Incentive Awards (other
than Restricted Stock Awards and Stock Bonuses), a Participant will have no
rights as a shareholder unless and until such Incentive Awards are exercised for
or paid in the form of, shares of Common Stock and the Participant becomes the
holder of record of such shares. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no
adjustment will be made for dividends or distributions with respect to such
Incentive Awards as to which there is a record date preceding the date the
Participant becomes the holder of record of such shares, except as the Committee
may determine in its discretion.

         15.3 TRANSFERABILITY. During the lifetime of a holder of Incentive
Awards, only such holder of Incentive Awards, or his or her guardian or legal
representative, may exercise Incentive Awards granted under this Plan, and no
Incentive Award granted under this Plan shall be assignable or transferable by
the holder of the Incentive Award otherwise than by will or the laws of descent
and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order as defined by the
Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules
thereunder; provided, however, that any holder of Incentive Awards may transfer
a Non-Statutory Stock Option granted under this Plan to a member or members of
his or her immediate family (i.e., his or her children, grandchildren and
spouse) or to one or more trusts for the benefit of such family members or
partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, if (i) the
agreement with respect to such Non-Statutory Stock Option expressly so provides
either at the time of initial grant or by amendment to an outstanding agreement
and (ii) the holder of the Non-Statutory Stock Option does not receive any
consideration for the transfer. Any Non-Statutory Stock Options held by any such
transferee shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions that
were applicable to such Non-Statutory Stock Options immediately prior to their
transfer and may be exercised by such transferee as and to the extent that such
Non-Statutory Stock Option has become exercisable and has not terminated in
accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the applicable agreement. For
purposes of any provision of this Plan relating to notice to a holder of a
Non-Statutory Stock Option or to vesting or termination of a Non-Statutory Stock
Option upon the death, disability or termination of employment of a holder of a
Non-Statutory Stock Option, references to the holder of a Non-Statutory Stock
Option shall mean the original grantee of a Non-Statutory Stock Option and not
any transferee.

         15.4 NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN. Nothing contained in the Plan is
intended to modify or rescind any previously approved compensation plans or
programs of the Company or create any limitations on the power or authority of
the Board to adopt such additional or other compensation arrangements as the
Board may deem necessary or desirable.

16.      SUBSTITUTE OPTIONS.

<PAGE>

         Options may be granted under this Plan from time to time in
substitution for stock options held by employees of other corporations who are
about to become employees of the Company, or any parent or subsidiary thereof,
or whose employer is about to become a subsidiary of the Company, as the result
of a merger or consolidation of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company with
another corporation, the acquisition by the Company or a subsidiary of the
Company of all or substantially all the assets of another corporation or the
acquisition by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company of at least 50% of the
issued and outstanding stock of another corporation. The terms and conditions of
the substitute options so granted may vary from the terms and conditions set
forth in this Plan to such extent as the Board at the time of the grant may deem
appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions of the stock
options in substitution for which they are granted, but with respect to stock
options which are incentive stock options, no such variation shall be permitted
which affects the status of any such substitute option as an incentive stock
option.

17.      SECURITIES LAW AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS.

         Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any agreements
entered into pursuant to the Plan, the Company will not be required to issue any
shares of Common Stock under this Plan, and a Participant may not sell, assign,
transfer or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to
Incentive Awards granted under the Plan, unless (a) there is in effect with
respect to such shares a registration statement under the Securities Act and any
applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration under
the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and (b) there has been
obtained any other consent, approval or permit from any other regulatory body
which the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable. The
Company may condition such issuance, sale or transfer upon the receipt of any
representations or agreements from the parties involved, and the placement of
any legends on certificates representing shares of Common Stock, as may be
deemed necessary or advisable by the Company in order to comply with such
securities law or other restrictions.

18.      PLAN AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION

         The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at
any time, and may amend the Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board
may deem advisable in order that Incentive Awards under the Plan will conform to
any change in applicable laws or regulations or in any other respect the Board
may deem to be in the best interests of the Company. No termination, suspension
or amendment of the Plan may adversely affect any outstanding Incentive Award
without the consent of the affected Participant; provided, however, that this
sentence will not impair the right of the Committee to take whatever action it
deems appropriate under Sections 3.2(c), 4.3 and 13 of the Plan.

19.      EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION OF THE PLAN

         The changes to the Plan effected by the Restated and Amended Plan shall
be effective on the date that the Restated and Amended Plan is approved by the
shareholders. The Plan will terminate at midnight on May 10, 2010, and may be
terminated prior to such time by Board action, and no Incentive Award will be
granted after such termination. Incentive Awards outstanding upon termination of
the Plan may continue to be exercised, or become free of restrictions, in
accordance with their terms.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into and made effective April
19, 2000 by and between BMC Industries, Inc., its subsidiaries and divisions
("Company") and Kathleen P. Pepski ("Employee").

WHEREAS, Company desires to employ Employee and Employee desires be employed by
the Company; and

WHEREAS, Employee and Company desire to formalize their relationship, and
provide for certain benefits and certain protections to Employee and Company
subject to and in accordance with this Agreement;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained
herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. EMPLOYMENT AND TERM. Company agrees to employ Employee in the capacity of
Senior Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer, for a period of two years,
commencing on April 19, 2000 and continuing until April 19, 2002 (the "Agreement
Termination Date"), unless sooner terminated as provided in this Agreement.
Employee agrees to serve and remain in such employment in accordance with this
Agreement. Throughout the term of this Agreement, Employee shall devote her full
time and attention during normal business hours to the business and affairs of
Company, except for vacations, Company holidays or periods of illness or
incapacity.

         This Agreement may be renewed on the Agreement Termination Date with
the mutual consent of the parties.

2. POSITION AND DUTIES. Employee shall serve full-time in the position of Senior
Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer, or such other position(s) as
designated by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Employee shall perform
such duties in this position as may be prescribed by Company management.
Employee agrees to devote her full-time business efforts, attention and energies
to the diligent performance of her duties on behalf of the Company, and will
not, during the term of her employment by the Company, engage in any activity or
accept employment, full or part-time, from any other person, firm, corporation,
governmental agency or other entity which, in the opinion of the Company, would
conflict with or detract from the capable performance of Employee's duties and
obligations to the Company. Employee further agrees to comply faithfully with
all policies established by Company.

3.       COMPENSATION.

                  (a) BASE SALARY. As compensation for the services rendered
under this Agreement, Company agrees to pay Employee a base salary of
$225,000.00 per annum, less applicable deductions and withholdings as required
by law, subject to annual adjustment at the discretion of Company's Board of
Directors. Employee shall be paid a portion of her base salary

<PAGE>

as frequently as similarly situated employees. Currently, similarly situated
employees are paid on a bi-weekly basis.

                  (b) OTHER WAGE BASED BENEFITS. During the term of this
Agreement, Employee shall be eligible for participation in Company's Executive
Perk and Flex Benefit Plans and the 2000 Management Incentive Plan (MIP)
(attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement) with a targeted bonus opportunity of
50% of base salary (pro-rated for Employee's term of employment in the year
2000) and a maximum opportunity of 75% of Employee's base compensation,
depending upon the financial performance of BMC. Employee shall also receive a
Non-Qualified Stock Option (NQSO) grant for 100,000 shares of BMC common stock,
effective on the first date of employment. The option exercise price will be the
average of the high and low trading price of BMC stock on the New York Stock
Exchange on your first date of employment. THIS OPTION WILL HAVE A THREE (3)
YEAR VESTING PERIOD FOR 50,000 SHARES AND A FIVE (5) YEAR VESTING PERIOD FOR THE
REMAINING 50,000 SHARES, with the first installment of each becoming exercisable
on the first anniversary of Employee's employment date. Under the vesting
schedule for these options, which is attached as Exhibit B to the Agreement,
partial year vesting is not allowed.

         4. BENEFITS. During the term of this Agreement, Employee shall have the
right to participate in any group insurance and other fringe benefit plans which
are generally provided to its employees at the same or similar level, subject,
however, to the Employee's qualification for participation in such benefit plans
pursuant to the terms and conditions under which such benefit plans are offered.

         5. EXPENSES. The Company agrees to reimburse Employee for ordinary and
necessary business expenses incurred by her in performing services for the
Company in accordance with established corporate policies as may be in effect
from time to time.

         6. REPRESENTATION OF EMPLOYEE. Employee represents and warrants that
she is not party to or otherwise subject to or bound by the terms of any
contract, agreement or understanding that in any manner will limit or otherwise
affect her ability to perform her obligations under this Agreement.

         7. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. This Agreement shall terminate on the
first to occur of the following events (the "Events of Termination"):

         (a)      The Agreement Termination Date;
         (b)      On the date of the Employee's death;
         (c)      On the date of Employee's total disability, subject to
                  Employee's right to Separation Pay Upon a Determination of
                  Total Disability as defined in paragraph 10 of this Agreement.
                  As used herein, the term "total disability" shall mean any
                  disability, whether caused by illness, injury or other
                  incapacity, which prevents Employee from fulfilling her
                  regular duties for a period of ninety days or more, despite
                  the availability of a reasonable accommodation;

<PAGE>

         (d)      Company may terminate Employee for Cause, as defined in
                  paragraph 8 of this Agreement; or
         (e)      Company may terminate Employee without cause, subject to
                  Employee's right to Separation Pay or Change in Control Pay,
                  as described in paragraph 9 of this Agreement.

Employee's employment under this Agreement (but not Employee's rights and
obligations under Paragraph 11 of this Agreement), and all of Company's rights
and obligations under this Agreement (but not its rights and obligations under
Paragraph 11) shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.

         8. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Company may discharge Employee and terminate
her employment immediately, without any prior notice, at any time, for Cause. As
used in this Employment Agreement, the term "Cause" shall include:

         (a)      any act of fraud or dishonesty by Employee;
         (b)      any continued act of insubordination or refusal by Employee to
                  perform assigned duties after Employee has been provided at
                  least ten (10) days notice in writing of what performance is
                  required;
         (c)      Employee's willful violation of any Company rule or policy; or
         (d)      Employee's willful breach of any promise or obligation under
                  this Agreement.

         9. SEPARATION PAY. If Employee is terminated for Cause or voluntarily
resigns, she is not entitled to Separation Pay. If at any time prior to the
Agreement Termination Date, Employee's employment is terminated by Company OTHER
THAN (a) for Cause, (b) on account of Employee's death or total disability, or
(c) for reasons which invoke section 2 of the Change in Control Agreement
attached as Exhibit C, then Company shall pay Employee Separation Pay in an

the event of Employee's death. Employee shall not be entitled to receive both
Separation Pay and Change in Control Pay.

         10. SEPARATION PAY UPON A DETERMINATION OF TOTAL DISABILITY. If Company

learn, be provided with, and in some cases, will prepare and create for the
Company, trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information
relating to the Company's business, including, but not limited to financial
information, business plans, marketing information, business strategies,
methods, operations and procedures, correspondence, customer lists, special
customer requirements and methods of servicing the customers, and other
information concerning the Company's customers and customer contacts. Employee
acknowledges and agrees that such information is the exclusive property of the
Company, that it has been and will continue to be of central importance to the
business of the Company, and that the disclosure of it to, or use by, others
will cause the Company substantial and irreparable losses. Accordingly, Employee
will not, either during her employment or at any time after the termination of
her employment with the Company for any reason, use, reproduce or disclose any
trade secrets or other confidential or proprietary information relating to the
business of the Company or its customers which is not generally available to the
public, except as may be necessary in discharging her assigned duties as an
employee of the Company. Employee's confidentiality obligations under this are
in addition to, and not in lieu of, any confidentiality obligations that may
apply to Employee under any rule or policy of the Company, and any other
agreement, statute or common law.

         12. COMPANY PROPERTY. All correspondence, records and other documents,
including all copies, which come into Employee's possession by, through, or in
the course of her employment with the Company, regardless of the source and
whether or not created by Employee, are the sole and exclusive property of the
Company, and immediately upon the termination of Employee's employment for any
reason, Employee shall return to the Company all such documents and other
property of the Company. Employee agrees that the Company may withhold any sums
otherwise due to Employee upon termination until Employee has satisfied all
obligations under this Paragraph.

         13. REASONABLENESS OF RESTRICTIONS. Employee has carefully read and
considered the provisions of Paragraph 11 of this Agreement and, having done so,
agrees that the restrictions set forth in such paragraph are fair and reasonable
and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests of Company, its
directors, officers, and other employees.

         14. RIGHT TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. Employee agrees that in the event of
any breach by Employee of Paragraph 11 of this Agreement, the Company shall be
entitled to immediate and permanent injunctive relief restraining said breach,
in addition to and not in lieu of any action for damages or any other legal,
equitable remedies available to the Company for said breach.

         15. SEVERABILITY. This Agreement is intended to limit disclosure and
competition by Employee to the maximum extent permitted by law. If it shall be
finally determined by any court of competent jurisdiction ruling on this
Agreement that the scope or duration of any limitation contained in this
Agreement is too extensive to be legally enforceable, then the parties hereto
agree that the scope or duration of such limitation shall be deemed to be the
maximum scope or duration of such limitation shall be deemed to be the maximum
scope or duration that shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be legally enforceable and Employee hereby consents to the enforcement of
such limitation as so modified.
