                           The   determination  of  the  Option  Committee  with
                           respect  to  whether  a  termination  for  Cause  has
                           occurred   shall  be   submitted   to  the  Board  of
                           Directors,   whose   decision   shall  be  final  and

securities of the Corporation (the "Voting  Securities") by any "Person" (as the
term person is used for purposes of Section  13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act,

meaning of Rule 13d-3  promulgated  under the  Exchange  Act) of thirty  percent
(30%) or more of the then outstanding shares or the combined voting power of the
Corporation's then outstanding  Voting Securities;  (ii) the individuals who, as
of the Effective Date are members of the Board (the  "Incumbent  Board"),  cease
for any reason to  constitute  at least  two-thirds of the members of the Board;
provided,  however,  that if the  election,  or nomination of the members of the

Corporation's stockholders of the stock of a Subsidiary or any other assets).

         Notwithstanding the foregoing,  a Change in Control shall not be deemed
to occur solely because any Person (the "Subject  Person")  acquired  Beneficial
Ownership of more than the permitted  amount of the then  outstanding  Shares or
Voting  Securities as a result of the acquisition of Shares or Voting Securities
by the Corporation  which, by reducing the number of Shares or Voting Securities
then outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned
by the Subject  Persons,  provided  that if a Change in Control would occur (but
for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the  acquisition of Shares or
Voting  Securities by the Corporation,  and after such share  acquisition by the
Corporation,  the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial  Owner of any additional

Person, then a Change in Control shall occur.

         (d) "Disability"  shall mean the inability to engage in any substantial
gainful  activity  by  reason of any  medically  determined  physical  or mental
impairment  which can be  expected to result in death or which has lasted or can

following basis:  (i) if the Shares are not traded on a securities  exchange and

shall be the mean between the average  daily bid and average  daily asked prices
of the Shares on the applicable date, as published on such bulletin board;  (ii)

traded on a  securities  exchange,  "Fair  Market  Value per Share" shall be the

         power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting
         from such merger or  consolidation  or  reorganization  (the "Surviving

In the case of an Option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, which
is granted to a Ten Percent  Shareholder,  the exercise price per share shall in
no event be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share  determined  as of
the Granting Date.

7        Period of Exercise and Certain Limitations on Right to Exercise.

exercisable at such times and under such  conditions as may be determined by the

the  expiration of ten (10) years from its Granting  Date, and in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent  Shareholder,  such Option shall
not be exercisable later than five (5) years after its Granting Date.

                  (i)      Disability  or  Death.  If an  Optionee  ceases to be
                           employed by, or ceases to have a  relationship  with,
                           the Corporation by reason of Disability or death, any
                           Option heretofore  granted which remains  unexercised
                           at the time of termination  shall become fully vested
                           and  exercisable  and shall expire not later than one
                           (1) year thereafter.  During such one (1) year period
                           and  prior to the  expiration  of the  Option  by its
                           terms,  the  Optionee,  or  his or  her  executor  or
                           administrator  or the  person or  persons to whom the
                           Option is transferred by will or the applicable  laws
                           of  descent  and  distribution,   may  exercise  such
                           Option, and except as so exercised, such Option shall
                           expire at the end of one (1) year period  unless such
                           Option by its terms  expires  before  such date.  The
                           decision  as to  whether a  termination  by reason of
                           Disability  has occurred  shall be made by the Option
                           Committee,   whose   decision   shall  be  final  and
                           conclusive.

                  (ii)     Retirement. If the Optionee ceases to be employed by,
                           or ceases to have a relationship with the Corporation
                           by  reason  of  Retirement,   any  Option  heretofore
                           granted which remains unexercised at the time of such
                           Retirement  shall become fully vested and exercisable
                           and shall expire,  in the case of an Incentive  Stock
                           Option,  not later than three (3) months  thereafter,
                           or, in the case of a Nonqualified  Stock Option,  not
                           later  than  one (1)  year  thereafter.  During  such
                           period and prior to the  expiration  of the Option by
                           its  terms,  such  Option  may  be  exercised  by the
                           Optionee, and except as so exercised, shall expire at
                           the end of such relevant period unless such Option by
                           its terms expires  before such date.  The decision as
                           to whether a  termination  is by reason of Retirement
                           shall be made by the Option Committee, whose decision
                           shall be final and conclusive.

                  (iii)    Voluntary   Termination   or   Termination   by   the
                           Corporation.  If  an  Optionee's  employment  by,  or
                           relationship  with,  the  Corporation  is  terminated
                           voluntarily  or,  by the  Corporation,  whether  such
                           termination is for Cause or for no reason whatsoever,
                           any   Option   heretofore   granted   which   remains
                           unexercised  at the  time of such  termination  shall
                           expire  immediately,   provided,  however,  that  the
                           Option  Committee  may,  in  its  sole  and  absolute
                           discretion,   within   thirty   (30)   days  of  such
                           termination,  waive  the  expiration  of  any  Option
                           awarded under the Plan, by giving  written  notice of
                           such waiver to the Optionee at such  Optionee's  last
                           known  address.  In the  event  of such  waiver,  the
                           Optionee  may  exercise any such Options only to such
                           extent,  for such  time,  and  upon  such  terms  and
                           conditions set forth in subparagraph  (i) above.  The
                           determination   as  to  whether  a   termination   is
                           voluntary  or for Cause  shall be made by the  Option
                           Committee,   whose   decision   shall  be  final  and
                           conclusive.

         (d) Shares  held for  Investment.  The Option  Committee  may, if it or
counsel for the Corporation shall deem it necessary or desirable for any reason,
require as a  condition  of  exercise,  that the  Optionee  or any other  person
entitled  to  exercise  an  Option  hereunder,   represent  in  writing  to  the
Corporation at the time of exercise of such Option that it is their intention to
acquire  the Shares as to which the  Option is being  exercised  for  investment
purposes and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof.

         (e)  Transferability.  Options  granted  under the Plan to an  Optionee
shall  not be  transferable  other  than  by will or the  laws  of  descent  and
distribution,  and such  Options  shall be  exercisable,  during the  Optionee's
lifetime, only by him or his legal guardian or legal representative.  A transfer
of an  Option  by will or the laws of  descent  and  distribution  shall  not be
effective  unless  the Option  Committee  shall  have been  furnished  with such
evidence as it may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer.

         (f) Intended  Treatment as Incentive  Stock  Options.  Incentive  Stock
Options  granted  pursuant to this Plan are  intended  to qualify as  "incentive
stock options"  pursuant to Code Section 422 and shall,  whenever  possible,  be
construed and administered so as to implement that intent. If all or any part of
an Option  granted  hereunder  with the  intention of qualifying as an Incentive
Stock  Option,  shall fail to so qualify,  such Option or portion  thereof  that
fails  to so  qualify  shall be  deemed  a  Nonqualified  Stock  Option  granted
hereunder.

8.       Payment of Exercise Price and Cancellation of Options.

         (a)  Notice of  Exercise.  An Option  granted  under the Plan  shall be
exercised by giving written notice to the Secretary of the  Corporation (or such
other person designated by the Option Committee) of the Optionee's  intention to
exercise one or more Options hereunder and by delivering payment of the exercise
price therewith, which shall be paid in full at the time of such exercise.

<PAGE>
         (b) Method of Settlement.  The  consideration to be paid for the Shares
to be issued  upon  exercise  of an Option,  shall  consist of cash or, with the
approval of the Option Committee (which may be withheld in its sole discretion),
Shares having a fair market value on the date of exercise,  as determined by the
Option Committee,  at least equal to the exercise price or a combination of cash
and Shares or, with the approval of the Option  Committee (which may be withheld
in its sole discretion) may also be effected wholly or partly by monies borrowed
from the Corporation  pursuant to a promissory note, the terms and conditions of
which  shall be  determined  from time to time by the Option  Committee,  in its
discretion,  separately  with  respect  to each  exercise  of  Options  and each
Optionee,  or by such other method of payment as may be determined by the Option
Committee in its sole discretion;  provided,  that each such method and time for
payment and each such borrowing and terms and conditions of repayment shall then
be  permitted  by and be in  compliance  with  applicable  law. An Optionee  may
purchase  less  than the  total  number  of  Shares  for which an Option is then
exercisable,  provided,  however, that any partial exercise of an Option may not
be less than for one hundred  (100) Shares and shall not include any  fractional
Shares. No Optionee or legal representative of an Optionee,  as the case may be,
will be, or will be deemed to be, the owner of any  Shares  covered by an Option
unless and until  certificates for the Shares are issued to the Optionee or such
Optionee's representative under the Plan.

9.       Share Adjustment.

         If the  outstanding  Shares of the class then  subject to this Plan are
increased or decreased,  or are changed into or exchanged for a different number
or kind of shares or securities or other forms of property  (including  cash) or
rights,  as  a  result  of  one  or  more  reorganizations,   recapitalizations,
spin-offs,  stock splits,  reverse stock  splits,  stock  dividends or the like,
appropriate  adjustments  shall be made in the number  and/or  kind of Shares or
securities  or other  forms of  property  (including  cash) or rights  for which
Options may  thereafter  be granted  under the Plan and for which  Options  then
outstanding  under  the  Plan  may  thereafter  be  exercised.  Any  such  Share
adjustments  shall  be  made  without  changing  the  aggregate  exercise  price
applicable to the unexercised  portions of outstanding  Options.  Any fractional
Shares  resulting  from such  adjustment  shall be eliminated by rounding to the
nearest whole number.  Appropriate  amendments to the Option Agreements shall be
executed by the Corporation and the Optionees to the extent the Option Committee
determines that such amendments are necessary or desirable to reflect such Share
adjustments.  If determined by the Option  Committee to be  appropriate,  in the
event of any Share  adjustment  involving  the  substitution  of securities of a
corporation  other  than  the  Corporation,  the  Option  Committee  shall  make
arrangements for the assumption by such other corporation of any Options then or
thereafter  outstanding under the Plan, without any change in the total exercise
price  applicable  to  the  unexercised  portion  of the  Options  but  with  an
appropriate  adjustment  to the number of  securities,  kind of  securities  and
exercise  price  for  each  of  the  securities  subject  to  the  Options.  The
determination  by the Option  Committee  as to what  adjustment,  amendments  or
arrangements  shall be made  pursuant to this Section 9 and the extent  thereof,
shall be final and conclusive.

         In  the  event  of  the  proposed  dissolution  or  liquidation  of the
Corporation,  or a  proposed  sale of  substantially  all of the  assets  of the
Corporation,  or in the event of any merger or  consolidation of the Corporation
with or into another corporation, or in the event of any corporate separation or
division,  including, but not limited to, a split-up,  split-off or spin-off, or
other transaction in which the outstanding  Shares then subject to Options under
the Plan are changed into or exchanged  for property  (including  cash),  rights
and/or securities other than, or in addition to, shares of the Corporation,  the
Option  Committee  may provide  that the holder of each Option then  exercisable
shall have the right to exercise  such Option  solely for the kind and amount of
shares of stock and other securities,  property, cash or any combination thereof
receivable upon such dissolution, liquidation, sale, consolidation or merger, or
similar  corporate  event,  by a holder of the  number of Shares  for which such
Option  might  have  been  exercised  immediately  prior  to  such  dissolution,
liquidation,  sale,  consolidation or merger or similar  corporate event; or, in
the alternative, the Option Committee may provide that each Option granted under
the Plan  shall  terminate  as of a date to be fixed by the Board of  Directors,
provided, that no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of the date so
fixed  shall be given to each  Optionee  who shall have the right,  during  such
thirty (30) day period preceding such termination, to exercise the Options as to
all or any part of the Shares covered thereby, including Shares as to which such
Options would not otherwise be exercisable.

10.      Stock Purchase Program.

         (a)  Participants.  Participants  eligible to  participate in the Stock
Purchase   Program  shall  be  limited  to  officers  and/or  employees  of  the
Corporation  who have been  designated by the Corporation as participants in the
Stock Purchase Program (a  "Participant").  The Board of Directors or the Option
Committee shall have the right in its absolute discretion to refuse any employee
or group of employees the right of participation  or continued  participation in
the Stock Purchase Program.

         (b) Directors'  Authority to Establish and Participants' Right to Elect
to Participate in the Stock Purchase Program and Participant's Contribution. The
Board of Directors or the Option Committee shall have the authority to implement
a Stock Purchase  Program for the benefit of designated  Participants.  Any such
Participant may elect to contribute money (the "Participant's  Contribution") to
the Stock Purchase Program for any 12 month period  commencing on any of January
1,  April 1, July 1 or  October 1 in any  calendar  year (any of which  dates is
hereinafter  called the  "Commencement  Date") if the Participant,  at least two
weeks prior to the  Commencement  Date,  delivers to the  Corporation  a written
direction in form and substance satisfactory to the Corporation:

                  (i)      Authorizing the  Corporation to deduct,  and remit to
                           the Corporation,  from the Participant's salary in 12
                           equal  installments  the  Participant's  Contribution
                           commencing on the Commencement Date; and

                  (ii)     directing  the  Corporation  to  register a municipal
                           address   specified   by  the   Participant   as  the
                           Participant's  address on the shareholders'  register
                           for  any  Shares   issued  to  the   Participant   in
                           accordance with the Stock Purchase Plan.

The Participant's  Contribution shall not exceed 10 percent of the Participant's
basic annual salary from the  Corporation  before  deductions,  exclusive of any
overtime  pay,  bonuses or  allowances of any kind  whatsoever  determined  (the
"Basic Annual Salary") as of the Commencement  Date. No adjustment shall be made
to the  Participant's  Contribution  until the next 12 month period in which the
Participant  elects to participate and then only if a new written  direction has
been delivered to the  Corporation for such 12 month period.  The  Participant's
Contribution  shall be held by the  Corporation  for the  purposes  of the Stock
Purchase Program.

         (c)  Corporation's  Contribution.  Immediately  prior  to the  date any
Shares are  issued to a  Participant  in  accordance  with  paragraph  (e),  the
Corporation  will  credit  the  Participant  with  and  thereafter  hold for the
Participant an amount (the "Corporation's Contribution") equal to:

                  (i)      For the first 12 months  after an  employee  has been
                           designated  as a  Participant  in the Stock  Purchase
                           Program - one-sixth of the Participant's Contribution
                           then held by the Corporation; and

                  (ii)     thereafter   -   one-third   of   the   Participant's
                           Contribution then held by the Corporation.

         (d) Aggregate  Contribution.  The  Participant's  Contribution plus the
Corporation's   Contribution   shall  be  the  "Aggregate   Contribution."   The
Corporation  shall not be required to segregate the Aggregate  Contribution from
its own corporate funds or to pay interest thereon.

<PAGE>
         (e) Issue of  Shares.  On each  March  31,  June 30,  September  30 and
December  31,  the  Corporation  will issue to each  Participant  fully paid and
non-assessable Shares equal in value to the Aggregate  Contribution held for the
benefit  of such  Participant  on such date by the  Corporation  converted  into
Shares at the Issue Price  (defined  below) on such dates.  No fractions  shares
will be issued in  connection  with the Stock  Purchase  Program.  "Issue Price"
means the simple  average of the high and low  trading  prices of the Shares for
the three months  prior to the date of issue on the stock  exchange on which the
Shares are then listed or other  securities  market  having the highest  trading
volume for the Shares during such three-month period. The Corporation shall hold
any unused balance of the Aggregate Contribution for a Participant until used in
accordance with the Stock Purchase Program.

         (f)  Safekeeping  and  Delivery  of  Shares.  All  Shares  issued  to a
Participant  in  accordance  with the  Stock  Purchase  Program  will be held in
safekeeping by the  Corporation  and will be delivered,  subject to the terms of
the Plan,  to such  Participant  upon the  expiration  of a period (the "Holding
Period")  of six  months  following  the date of issue  of such  Shares.  If the
Corporation  receives  on behalf of a  Participant  in  respect of any Shares so
held:

                  (i)      Cash dividends (less any sums required to be withheld
                           pursuant to applicable income tax legislation);

                  (ii)     options or rights to purchase  additional  securities
                           of the Corporation or any other Corporation;

                  (iii)    any notice of meeting,  proxy statement and proxy for
                           any meeting of holders of Shares of the  Corporation;
                           or

                  (iv)     other  or  additional   Shares  or  other  securities
                           (issued  by the  Corporation  to holders of Shares by
                           way of dividend or otherwise);

then the Corporation shall forward to such Participant at his last known address
according to the records of the  Corporation any of the money or items listed in
paragraph  (f)(i) and (f)(iii) and  paragraph  (f)(ii) if allowed by  applicable
securities  laws;  and  shall  hold in  safekeeping  any  additional  securities
referred  to in  paragraph  (f)(iv)  and  shall  deliver  such  securities  to a
Participant  with  delivery  of the Shares in  respect of which such  additional
securities were issued.

         (g) Early  Delivery of Shares.  Any Shares issued to a Participant  but
held in safekeeping by the  Corporation  will be distributed to a Participant or
his estate prior to the expiration of the Holding Period only upon:

                  (i)      The Participant's Retirement;

                  (ii)     the Participant's Disability; or

                  (iii)    the Participant's death.

         (h)  Termination  of  Employment.  If a  Participant  shall cease to be
employed  by the  Corporation  for any reason or shall  receive  notice from the
Corporation of the termination of his employment the Participant shall be deemed
to be no longer a Participant in the Stock Purchase Program; and

                  (i)      Any portion of the  Participant's  Contribution  then
                           held  for  the  Participant  shall  be  paid  to  the
                           Participant or his estate, as the case may be;

<PAGE>
                  (ii)     any portion of the  Corporation's  Contribution  then
                           held  for  the  Participant  shall  be  paid  to  the
                           Corporation; and

                  (iii)    except as provided in paragraph  (g), any Shares then
                           held  in  safekeeping  for  a  Participant  shall  be
                           repurchased  by the  Corporation  at the Issue  Price
                           thereof or sold at market and an amount  equal to the
                           lesser of:

                           (1)      the Participant's Contribution; and

                           (2)      the portion of the proceeds  received on any
                                    sale of such Shares equal to:

                                    (A)      six-sevenths of the proceeds if the
                                             Shares were issued within 12 months
                                             after    the     Participant    was
                                             designated as a Participant  in the
                                             Stock Purchase Program; or

                                    (B)      three-quarters  of the  proceeds if
                                             the Shares  were  issued  after the
                                             Participant's    first    year   of
                                             participation in the Stock Purchase
                                             Program;

                                    Shall  be  paid to the  Participant  and the
                                    balance shall be paid to the Corporation.

         (i)   Amalgamation,   Consolidation  or  Merger.   If  the  Corporation
reorganizes,  consolidates  with or merges with or into another  corporation  or
other entity,  each  Participant  for whom Shares are held in  safekeeping  will
receive on the date any Shares would  otherwise be delivered to the  Participant
in  accordance  with  paragraph (f) or (g) the  securities,  property or cash to
which the  Participant  was  entitled  on such  amalgamation,  consolidation  or
merger.

11.      Substitute Options.

         The Corporation  may grant options under the Plan in  substitution  for
options  held by employees of another  corporation  who become  employees of the
Corporation  as the  result  of a  merger  or  consolidation  of  the  employing
corporation  with the  Corporation,  or as a result  of the  acquisition  by the
Corporation, of property or stock of the employing corporation.  The Corporation
may direct that  substitute  options be granted on such terms and  conditions as
the Board of Directors considers appropriate in the circumstances.

12.      Other Employee Benefits.

         Except  as to plans  which by  their  terms  include  such  amounts  as
compensation,  the  amount  of any  compensation  deemed  to be  received  by an
employee as a result of the exercise of an option or the sale of Shares received
upon such exercise shall not constitute compensation for purposes of determining
such  employee's  benefits under any other  employee  benefit plan or program in
which the employee is a participant at any time, including,  without limitation,
benefits  under any bonus,  pension,  profit-sharing,  life  insurance or salary
continuation plan, except as otherwise  specifically  determined by the Board of
Directors.

<PAGE>
13.      Terms and Conditions of Options.

         (a) Withholding of Taxes.  As a condition to the exercise,  in whole or
in part, of any Options, the Option Committee may in its sole discretion require
the Optionee to pay, in addition to the exercise  price of the Shares covered by
the  Options an amount  equal to any  Federal,  state or local taxes that may be
required  to be  withheld  in  connection  with the  exercise  of such  Options.
Alternatively,  the  Corporation  may issue or transfer  the Shares  pursuant to
exercise of the Options  net of the number of Shares  sufficient  to satisfy the
withholding tax requirements.  For withholding tax purposes, the Shares shall be
valued  on the date the  withholding  obligation  is  incurred.  In the event an
Optionee makes a Code Section 83(b)  election in connection  with a Nonqualified
Stock Option granted under the Plan, the Optionee shall  immediately  notify the
Corporation  of such  election.  In the case of an Incentive  Stock  Option,  an
Optionee who disposes of Shares acquired pursuant to such Incentive Stock Option
either (a) within two (2) years  after the  Granting  Date or (b) within one (1)
year after the issuance of such Shares to the Optionee  upon  exercise  thereof,
shall notify the  Corporation of such  disposition  and the amount realized upon
such disposition.

         (b)  No  Rights  to  Continued  Employment  or  Relationship.   Nothing
contained in the Plan or in any Option  Agreement shall obligate the Corporation
to continue to employ or to continue  any other  relationship  with any Optionee
for any  period or  interfere  in any way with the right of the  Corporation  to
reduce such Optionee's compensation or to terminate the Corporation's employment
or relationship with any Optionee at any time.

         (c) Time of Granting  Options.  The Granting  Date shall be the day the
Corporation  executes  the  Option  Agreement;   provided,   however,   that  if
appropriate resolutions of the Option Committee indicate that an Option is to be
granted as of and on some prior or future date,  the Granting Date shall be such
prior or future date.

         (d) Privileges of Stock Ownership. No Optionee shall be entitled to the
privileges of stock ownership as to any Shares not actually issued and delivered
to such  Optionee.  No Shares  shall be issued  upon the  exercise of any Option
unless and until, in the opinion of the  Corporation's  counsel,  all applicable
laws, rules and regulations of any  governmental or regulatory  agencies and any
exchanges  upon which stock of the  Corporation  may be listed,  shall have been
fully complied with.

         (e) Securities Laws Compliance.  The Corporation will diligently comply
with all  applicable  securities  laws before any Options are granted  under the
Plan and before any Shares are issued  pursuant to the  exercise of any Options.
Without  limiting the generality of the foregoing,  the  Corporation may require
from the Optionee such investment  representation or such agreement,  if any, as
counsel for the  Corporation  may  consider  necessary  or advisable in order to
comply  with the  Securities  Act as then in effect,  and may  require  that the
Optionee  agree that any sale of the Shares  will be made only in such manner as
is permitted by the Option Committee. The Option Committee in its discretion may
cause the Options and Shares  underlying such Options to be registered under the
Securities Act by the filing of a Form S-8 Registration  Statement  covering the
Options and Shares.  The Optionee shall take any action reasonably  requested by
the Corporation in connection with  registration or  qualification of the Shares
under federal and state securities laws.

<PAGE>
         (f) Option  Agreement.  Each  Incentive  Stock Option and  Nonqualified
Stock Option  granted  under this Plan shall be  evidenced  by a written  Option
Agreement executed by the Corporation and the Optionee containing such terms and
conditions  as are  deemed  desirable  by  the  Option  Committee  and  are  not
inconsistent with the purpose of the Plan as set forth in Section 1.

14.      Restricted Shares.

         (a) In General.  The Option  Committee  may, in its  discretion,  issue
restricted  Shares upon the exercise of any Options granted under the Plan. Such
restricted Shares shall be subject to such vesting requirements and restrictions
on transferability as may be determined by the Option Committee.

         (b) Legend.  All stock  certificates  issued with respect to restricted
Shares shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions,  and
restrictions applicable to such Shares.

         (c) Rights Appurtenant to Restricted Shares. The issuance of restricted
Shares  shall not affect  the rights of the  Optionee  as a  stockholder  of the
Corporation including,  but not limited to the right to receive dividends on and
to vote with respect to such restricted  Shares,  except that additional  shares
issued with respect to restricted  Shares  including,  but not limited to, stock
dividends or stock splits or any  securities  issued in exchange for  restricted
Shares  shall be  subject  to the same  restrictions  as are  applicable  to the
restricted Shares.

15.      Plan Amendment and Termination.

         (a) Authority of Option Committee.  In addition to the authority of the
Option  Committee  set forth in Section 5, the Option  Committee may at any time
discontinue  granting  Options  under the Plan or  otherwise  suspend,  amend or
terminate  the  Plan and  may,  with  the  consent  of an  Optionee,  make  such
modification  of the terms and conditions of Options  theretofore  granted as it
shall deem  advisable.  Any  amendment  or  modification  made  pursuant  to the
provisions of this Section shall be effective immediately upon adoption,  unless
otherwise  provided therein,  subject to approval thereof (i) within twelve (12)
months before or after the effective date of such amendment or  modification  by
stockholders  of the  Corporation  holding not less than a majority  vote of the
voting  power of the  Corporation  voting  in  person or by proxy at a duly held
stockholders  meeting when required to maintain or satisfy the  requirements  of
Code Section 422 with respect to Incentive Stock Options, or Code Section 162(m)
with  respect  to  performance-based   compensation,  (ii)  by  any  appropriate
governmental agency if required,  or (iii) by a securities exchange or automated
quotation system if required.  No Option may be granted during any suspension or
after termination of the Plan.

         (b) Ten (10) Year Maximum  Term.  Unless  previously  terminated by the
Option Committee,  this Plan shall terminate on the tenth (10th)  anniversary of
the Effective Date. No Options shall be granted under the Plan thereafter.

         (c) Effect on Options Granted. Any amendment, suspension or termination
of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Optionee,  alter or impair any
rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted.

16.      Effective Date of Plan.

         The Plan shall be effective  upon  approval by the of a majority of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation  entitled to vote thereon
(the "Effective Date').

<PAGE>
17.      Miscellaneous Provisions.

         (a) Limitation on Benefits.  No Option may be exercised,  to the extent
such  exercise will create an "excess  parachute  payment' as defined in Section
280G of the Code.

         (b) Exculpation and  Indemnification.  The Corporation  shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Option Committee from and against any and all liabilities,
costs and expenses  incurred by such persons as a result of any act, or omission
to  act,  in  connection   with  the   performance  of  such  persons'   duties,
responsibilities  and obligations  under the Plan, other than such  liabilities,
costs and  expenses  as may result  from gross  negligence,  bad faith,  willful
conduct and/or criminal acts of such persons.

         (c) Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds from the exercise of Shares  granted
under the Plan  shall  constitute  and be  considered  as  general  funds of the
Corporation  which may be used for any and all corporate  purposes as determined
by the Board of Directors.

         (d) Compliance with  Applicable  Laws. The inability of the Corporation
to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction,  the authority deemed by
the Corporation's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any
Shares upon the  exercise of an Option  shall  relieve  the  Corporation  of any
liability  in respect  of the  non-issuance  or sale of such  Shares as to which
requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

         (e) Non-Uniform  Determinations.  The Option Committee's  determination
under the Plan (including  without  limitation  determinations of the persons to
receive  Options,  the form,  amount and timing of such  Options,  the terms and
provisions of such Options and the Option  Agreements  evidencing same) need not
be uniform and may be made by it selectively  among persons who receive,  or are
eligible to receive,  Options  under the Plan,  whether or not such  persons are
similarly situated.EXHIBIT A

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

         This Stock Option  Agreement (the Agreement) is entered into as of July
15, 2000, by and between STRATABASE.COM,  a Nevada corporation (the Corporation)
and Mary Martin (the Optionee).

         WHEREAS,  the Corporation desires to afford the Optionee an opportunity
to purchase certain Shares of the Corporation's  common stock so as to acquire a
proprietary  interest as a  shareholder  of the  Corporation  and to provide the
Optionee  with an  incentive  to use his  best  efforts  in the  service  of the
Corporation.

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
set forth below, the parties agree as follows:

1.       Grant of Option.

                  The  Corporation  hereby  grants  to  Optionee  the  right  to
purchase  up to the  aggregate  number of Shares set forth in Exhibit A attached
hereto at the  exercise  price per Share stated  therein.  The right to purchase
such Shares shall be subject to all of the provisions,  terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement and in the STRATABASE.COM  2000 Stock Option (the Plan),
a copy of which is annexed hereto and made a part hereof. Unless defined in this
Agreement, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them
in the Plan.

[_] (check if applicable):

                  This Option is not  intended to be and shall not be treated as
an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code unless this sentence has
been  manually  crossed out and its deletion is followed by the signature of the
corporate   officer  who  signed  this  Option  on  behalf  of  the  Corporation
_____________.

2.       Vesting Schedule and Expiration.

                  This Option shall not be exercisable prior to the vesting date
set forth in Exhibit A attached  hereto or subsequent to the expiration date set
forth therein unless extended by the Board of Directors or the Option Committee.
During the exercise period, the Option may be exercised by the Optionee (or such
other person or persons authorized to exercise Options under the Plan), in whole
or in part, from time to time, subject to the maximum percentage of Options then
exercisable  in  accordance  with the  schedule  set forth in Exhibit A attached
hereto.  The  Corporation  agrees to  maintain  during  such  exercise  period a
sufficient  number of Shares  (which may be  authorized  and unissued  Shares or
issued Shares that have been reacquired by the Corporation) corresponding to the
number of unexercised  Options granted to the Optionee after taking into account
any Share adjustment under the Plan.

<PAGE>
3.       Restrictions on Transferability of Options.

                  This Option may not be  transferred by the Optionee other than
by will or the laws of descent and  distribution and may be exercised during the
Optionee's  lifetime  only by the Optionee or the  Optionee's  guardian or legal
representative.  A  transfer  of an  Option by will or the laws of  descent  and
distribution  shall not be effective unless the Option Committee shall have been
furnished  with such evidence as it may deem necessary to establish the validity
and effectiveness of the transfer.

4.       Termination Provisions

(1) Except as  provided  in  paragraphs  (2),  and (3) below,  if an  Optionee's
employment by, or relationship  with, the Corporation is terminated  voluntarily
or, by the  Corporation,  whether such termination is for Cause or for no reason
whatsoever,  any Option heretofore granted which remains unexercised at the time
of such termination shall expire immediately, provided, however, that the Option
Committee may, in its sole and absolute  discretion,  within thirty (30) days of
such termination,  waive the expiration of any Option awarded under the Plan, by
giving  written  notice of such waiver to the Optionee at such  Optionee's  last
known address.  In the event of such waiver,  the Optionee may exercise any such
Options only to such extent,  for such time,  and upon such terms and conditions
set  forth  in  subparagraph  (i)  above.  The  determination  as to  whether  a
termination  is  voluntary  or for Cause shall be made by the Option  Committee,
whose decision shall be final and conclusive.

(2) If an Optionee ceases to be employed by or ceases to perform services to the
Corporation  by  reason  of  death  or  Disability,   the  aggregate  amount  of
unexercised  Options granted  hereunder shall thereupon  become fully vested and
immediately  exercisable  and shall expire no later than one (1) year thereafter
unless such Options by their terms expire before such date.  During such one (1)
year period,  the Optionee,  or, in the case of death, the Optionee's  estate or
the person or persons to whom the Option was  transferred by will or the laws of
descent and distribution,  may exercise any such Options,  and if not exercised,
shall expire at the end of such one (1) year period unless such Options by their
terms expire before such date.

(3) If the Optionee  ceases to be employed by, or ceases to provide  services to
the  Corporation  by reason of Retirement,  the aggregate  amount of unexercised
Options granted  hereunder  shall thereupon  become fully vested and immediately
exercisable and shall expire, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, no later
than  three  (3)  months  following  such  Retirement,  or  in  the  case  of  a
Nonqualifying Stock Option one (1) year following Retirement,  unless, in either
case, the Options by their terms expire prior to such date.

<PAGE>
5.       Exercise, Payment for and Delivery of Stock

                  This Option may be  exercised  by the Optionee or other person
then entitled to exercise it by delivery of a written notice to the Secretary of
the  Corporation  together with this Option  Agreement  specifying the number of
Options  intended to be exercised  and the  exercise  price and  accompanied  by
payment in full of the  exercise  price for the number of Shares with respect to
which the Option is exercised.

                  If the Corporation is required to withhold any federal,  state
or local tax as a result of such exercise,  the notice shall also be accompanied
by a check  payable  to the  Corporation  in payment  of the  applicable  amount
required  to be  withheld,  unless  alternate  arrangements  have been agreed to
between the parties to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations.

                  Payment for Shares may be made in cash,  or with the  approval
of the Option  Committee  (which may be  withheld in its sole  discretion)  with
Shares having a fair market value on the date of exercise  equal to the exercise
price, or a combination of cash and Shares. In addition, subject to the approval
of the Option Committee (which may be withheld in its sole discretion),  payment
may be  effected  wholly  or  partly by  monies  borrowed  from the  Corporation
pursuant to the terms of a promissory  note,  the terms and  conditions of which
shall be determined from time to time by the Option  Committee.  An Optionee may
purchase  less  than the total  numbers  of Shares  for which  Options  are then
exercisable,  provided, however, that any partial exercise shall not be for less
than 100 Shares and shall not include any fractional Shares. No Optionee,  legal
representative  of such  Optionee,  as the case may be,  shall  be,  or shall be
deemed to be,  the owner of any  Shares  covered  by an Option  unless and until
certificates  for the  Shares  are  issued to the  Optionee  or such  Optionee's
representative under the Plan.

6.       Adjustments.

                  In the event  that  there is any  change in the  Shares of the
Corporation    arising    through   merger,    consolidation,    reorganization,
recapitalization,  stock dividend, stock split or combination thereof, the Board
of Directors  shall make such  adjustments  in the  aggregate  number of Options
subject to this Agreement and/or the price per share of such Options in order to
prevent  dilution  or  enlargement  of the  Optionee's  rights  and of the value
represented by the Options.  Upon any adjustment in the number or exercise price
of Shares  subject  to an  Option,  a new Option may be granted in place of such
Option which has been so adjusted.  In the event of a dissolution or liquidation
of the Corporation or a merger, consolidation,  sale of all or substantially all
of the  Corporation's  assets,  or other corporate  reorganization  in which the
Corporation  is not the  surviving  corporation,  or any  merger  in  which  the
Corporation  is the  surviving  corporation  but the  holders of Shares  receive
securities of another corporation, outstanding Options shall terminate, provided
that the holder of each Option  shall,  in such event,  if no provision has been
made for the substitution of a new option for such outstanding  option, have the
right  immediately prior to such event to exercise the holder's Options in whole
or in part without  regard to the date on which the Options  otherwise  would be
first exercisable.

<PAGE>
7.       Compliance with Laws and Regulations.

                  By accepting this Option,  the Optionee  represents and agrees
for himself and his transferees by will or the laws of descent and  distribution
that, unless a registration  statement under Securities Act of 1933 is in effect
as to Shares purchased upon any exercise of this Option,  (a) any and all Shares
so purchased  shall be acquired for his personal  account and not with a view to
or for sale in connection with distribution,  and (b) each notice of exercise of
all or any portion of this Option shall, if the Option Committee so requests, be
accompanied by a  representation  and warranty in writing,  signed by the person
entitled  to  exercise  the same,  that the Shares are being so acquired in good
faith  for his or her  personal  account  and not  with a view to or for sale in
connection with any distribution.

                  No  certificates  for Shares  purchased  upon exercise of this
Option shall be issued and delivered  unless and until,  in the opinion of legal
counsel for the Corporation, such securities may be issued and delivered without
causing the  Corporation to be in violation of or incur any liability  under any
federal, state or other securities law or any other requirement of law or of any
regulatory body having  jurisdiction over the Corporation.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing,  the Optionee acknowledges and understands that the
Shares subject to the Options granted  hereunder have not been registered  under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the blue sky or securities laws
of any state,  that the Corporation has no obligation to so register any of such
Shares and that,  except to the extent the Shares are so registered,  the Shares
will be restricted securities and may be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed
of only if an exemption from such  registration is available.  Unless the Shares
have been so  registered,  there  shall be noted  conspicuously  upon each stock
certificate representing such Shares, the following statement:

         The  shares  of stock  represented  by this  certificate  have not been
         registered  under the  Securities  Act of 1933 (1933 Act) nor under any
         applicable  state  securities act and may not be offered or sold except
         pursuant to (i) an effective  registration  statement  relating to such
         stock under the 1933 Act and any applicable  state securities act, (ii)
         to the extent  applicable,  Rule 144 under the 1933 Act (or any similar
         rule under such act or acts relating to the disposition of securities),
         or (iii) an opinion of counsel  satisfactory to the Corporation that an
         exemption from registration under Act or Acts is available.

8.       Invalidity; Severability.

                  If any clause or provision of this Agreement shall be adjudged
invalid, the same shall not affect the validity of any other clause or provision
of this  Agreement,  or of any other  document  pertaining to the subject matter
thereof, or constitute by reason thereof,  any claim or cause of action in favor
of Optionee as against the  Corporation.  In addition,  the  provisions  of this
Agreement  shall be read and  construed  and  shall  have  effect  as  separate,
severable and independent  provisions or restrictions,  and shall be enforceable
accordingly.

<PAGE>
9.       Entire Agreement; No Waiver; Remedies.

                  This  Agreement  contains the entire  agreement of the parties
and  incorporates  and supersedes any and all prior or  contemporaneous  oral or
written  agreements with respect to the matters  referred to in it. No waiver of
any breach or default  hereunder shall be considered valid unless in writing and
signed by the party  giving such  waiver,  and no such waiver  shall be deemed a
waiver of any  subsequent  breach or default of the same or similar  nature.  No
failure on the part of any party to  exercise,  and no delay in  exercising  any
right,  remedy,  power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof;
no  waiver  whatever  shall be valid  unless in  writing  signed by the party or
parties to be charged and then only to the extent specifically set forth in such
writing.  All  remedies,  rights,  powers  and  privileges,  either  under  this
Agreement or by law or otherwise  afforded the parties to this Agreement,  shall
be  cumulative  and shall not be exclusive of any remedies,  rights,  powers and
privileges provided by law.

10.      Successors and Assigns.

                  The  rights  and  obligations  of the  Corporation  under this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors
and assigns of the Corporation.

11.      Headings; Counterparts; Governing Law.

                  The  headings  in  this  Agreement  are  for   convenience  of
reference  only and are not  intended  to define or limit  the  contents  of any
section  or  paragraph.   This   Agreement  may  be  executed  in  one  or  more
counterparts,  each of  which  shall be  deemed  an  original,  but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same  instrument.  This Agreement shall in
all  respects be governed by the laws  (without  reference  to conflicts of laws
principles)  of the State of Nevada  applicable to contracts  made and performed
within the State of Nevada.

12.      Execution.

(1) The grant of the Option  hereunder  shall be binding and  effective  only if
this  Agreement is duly executed by or on behalf of the  Corporation  and by the
Optionee, and a signed copy is returned to the Corporation.

(2) The Optionee  acknowledges that no assurances or representations are made by
the  Corporation as to the present or future market value of the Shares or as to
the business, affairs, financial condition or prospects of the Corporation.

13.      Governing Provisions.

                  In the event of any conflict  between the terms and provisions
contained in this Agreement and the terms and provisions  contained in the Plan,
