                              COMMITMENT LETTER

PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL

February 21, 2001

Mr. Byron R. Siliezar
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Nextel International, Inc.
10700 Parkridge Boulevard, Suite 600
Reston, Virginia  20191

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are pleased to confirm the arrangements under which Goldman Sachs Credit
Partners L.P. ("GSCP" and the "ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT") is exclusively
authorized by Nextel International, Inc. (the "COMPANY") to act as the sole
arranger and sole syndication agent in connection with the bridge loans
described herein, and, together with any other lenders set forth on Schedule I
hereto and any entities that become lenders in accordance with the syndication
arrangements set forth below (collectively with the Administrative Agent, the
"LENDERS"), commits to provide the bridge loans described herein, in each case
on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this letter, the
attached Annex A and Annex B (together, the "COMMITMENT LETTER") and the Fee
Letter (as defined below).

We understand that the Company intends to use the proceeds of an issuance of
senior notes, or other debt securities or preferred stock (the "PERMANENT DEBT
SECURITIES") to finance network expansion and acquisitions of additional
spectrum, as well as for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

1. Commitment. Each of the Lenders is pleased to confirm its commitment (each,
a "COMMITMENT"), severally and not jointly, to provide the Company up to
$500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Increasing Rate Bridge
Loans due 2002 (the "BRIDGE LOANS") having the terms set forth on Annex B, in
each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this
Commitment Letter. Each Lender's Commitment is subject, in its discretion, to
the conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter, including without
limitation the conditions precedent set forth in Annex B hereto, and to the
negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive documentation, including,
without limitation, a bridge loan agreement (the "BRIDGE LOAN AGREEMENT"),
satisfactory to each of the Lenders and their counsel and the satisfaction of
the terms, conditions and covenants contained therein. The terms of this
Commitment Letter are intended as an outline of certain of the material terms
of the Bridge Loans, but do not include all of the terms, conditions,
covenants, representations, warranties, default clauses and other provisions
that will be contained in the Bridge Loan Agreement. The Bridge Loan Agreement
shall include, in addition, provisions that are customary or typical for
financings of

Page 2

this type and other provisions that the Lenders may reasonably determine to be
appropriate in the context of the proposed transactions.

The net proceeds from (i) any public offering or private placement of any debt
or equity securities by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (other
than the Equity Financing (as defined in Annex B)), (ii) any future bank
borrowings other than: (a) under the Company's existing credit facilities as
in effect on the Closing Date or any refinancing thereof under a credit
facility (but only to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of the
refinancing indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the credit
facility indebtedness refinanced (plus accrued interest on such credit
facility indebtedness)) and (b) up to $50.0 million at any one time
outstanding of additional vendor financing debt, short-term equipment
financing debt or short-term working capital debt, in each case not
outstanding on the date hereof and (iii) any future asset sales (subject to
certain ordinary course exceptions and excluding sale-leaseback transactions
involving tower assets in an amount not to exceed $200.0 million in the
aggregate) by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company will immediately
reduce the Commitment of the Lenders on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

2. Fees and Expenses. The fees for these services are set forth in a separate
letter (the "FEE LETTER"), entered into by the Lenders and the Company. In
addition, pursuant to an engagement letter (the "ENGAGEMENT LETTER"), dated as
of the date hereof, between the Company and Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("GOLDMAN
SACHS"), the Company has offered Goldman Sachs the right to act as sole
book-running and sole lead placement agent, purchaser or underwriter in
connection with the sale of the Permanent Debt Securities.

3. Syndication. The Administrative Agent intends and reserves the right to
syndicate the Commitments and/or the Bridge Loans to other Lenders who shall
be selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion after
consultation with the Company. The Company agrees, and will cause members of
management to assist in the syndication of the commitment. The Administrative
Agent will lead the syndication, including determining the timing of all
offers to potential Lenders and the acceptance of commitments, any title of
agent or similar designations awarded to Lenders, the amounts offered and the
compensation provided to each Lender from the amounts to be paid to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Commitment Letter and the
Fee Letter. The Administrative Agent will determine the final commitment
allocations and will notify the Company of such determinations. Pursuant to
the syndication process described herein, the rights and obligations of each
Lender, including the right and obligation to make any Bridge Loan, may be
assigned by such Lender, in whole or in part, to any other bank, financial
institution or other investor and upon such assignment, the assignee shall
become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender will be relieved from all
obligations with respect to any Commitment assigned. To ensure an orderly and
effective syndication of the Bridge Loans, you agree that, until the later of
the termination of the syndication as determined by the Administrative Agent
and 60 days following the date of initial funding under the Bridge Loans, you
will not, and will not permit any of your subsidiaries to, syndicate or issue,
attempt to syndicate or issue, announce or authorize the announcement of the
syndication or issuance of, or engage in discussions concerning the
syndication or issuance of, any debt facility or debt or preferred equity
security (other than the Bridge Loans) of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, including any renewals or refinancings of any existing debt
facility or debt or preferred equity security, without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent. You also agree that the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled, but not obligated, after consultation with you, to
change the terms, pricing and/or structure of the Bridge Loans if the
Administrative Agent determines in its discretion that such changes are
advisable to insure the

Page 3

successful syndication of all of the Bridge Loans; provided that the total
amount of the Bridge Loans remains unchanged.

4. Cooperation. The Company agrees to cooperate with the Administrative Agent
in connection with (i) the preparation of an information package regarding the
business, operations and prospects of the Company, including, without
limitation, the delivery of all information relating to the transactions
contemplated hereunder and all other information deemed reasonably necessary
by the Administrative Agent to complete the syndication of the Commitment
and/or Bridge Loans and (ii) the presentation of such information package in
lender meetings and other communications with prospective Lenders in
connection with the syndication of the Bridge Loans. The Company agrees to
make representatives and senior management of the Company available to meet
with prospective Lenders and rating agencies and to make customary "road show"
presentations at such locations as the Administrative Agent may suggest. The
Company shall be solely responsible for the contents of any such information
package and presentation and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent will
be using and relying upon the information contained in such information
package and presentation without independent verification thereof. In
addition, the Company represents and covenants that all information provided
directly or indirectly by the Company to the Administrative Agent or the other
Lenders in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder is and will
be complete and correct in all material respects and does not and will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading. The
Company agrees to supplement such information from time to time until the
Closing Date (as defined in Annex B) and, if requested by the Administrative
Agent in writing, for a reasonable period thereafter (not to exceed six
months) necessary to complete the syndication of the Bridge Loans, so that the
representations and covenants contained in the preceding sentence remain
correct.

5. Annex A. In connection with arrangements such as this, it is our policy to
receive indemnification. The Company agrees to the provisions with respect to
our indemnity and other matters set forth in Annex A which is incorporated by
reference into this Commitment Letter.

6. Confidentiality. Please note that this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter
and any written or oral advice provided by the Lenders in connection with this
arrangement is exclusively for the information of the Board of Directors and
senior management of the Company and may not be disclosed to any other party
or circulated or referred to publicly without the Lenders' prior written
consent, except, after providing written notice to the Administrative Agent,
pursuant to a subpoena or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or
by a judicial, administrative or legislative body or committee. We hereby
consent to the disclosure of the terms of this Commitment Letter (but not the
Fee Letter or Engagement Letter) in connection with the Company's registration
statement (No. 333-44060) on Form S-1 and in the prospectus included therein.
In addition, we hereby consent to your disclosure of such advice to your
officers, directors, agents and advisors who are directly involved in the
consideration of the Bridge Loans to the extent such persons are obligated to
hold such advice in confidence.

7. Additional Matters. The Company may not assign any of its rights or be
relieved of any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent
of each of the Lenders. As you know, GSCP may from time to time effect
transactions, for its own account or the account of customers, and hold
positions in loans or options on loans of the Company and other companies that
may be the subject of this arrangement. In addition, Goldman Sachs is a full
service securities firm and as such may from time to time effect transactions,
for its own account

<PAGE>   4

Nextel International, Inc.

or the account of customers, and hold positions in securities or options on
securities of the Company and other companies that may be the subject of this
arrangement. In addition, the Administrative Agent may employ the services of
its affiliates in providing certain services hereunder and may exchange with
such affiliates information concerning the Company and other companies that
may be the subject of this arrangement, and such affiliates shall be entitled
to the benefits afforded the Administrative Agent hereunder.

All payments under this Commitment Letter (including Annex A and Annex B) and
the Fee Letter will be made in U.S. dollars and without withholding or
deduction of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge (other than
franchise taxes and taxes on overall net income) (collectively, "TAX") unless
required by law; and if the Company will be required to deduct or withhold any
Tax, or if any Tax is required to be paid by any Lender solely on account of
services performed hereunder or under the Fee Letter, the Company will pay to
such Lender such additional amounts as will be required so that the net amount
received by such Lender from the Company after such deduction, withholding or
payment will equal the amounts otherwise due to such Lender hereunder or under
the Fee Letter, as applicable.

If any goods and services tax ("GST"), value added tax ("VAT") or consumption
tax is payable in respect of amounts paid or payable to any Lender for
services rendered in connection with this letter (or any portion thereof),
such Lender will add such GST, VAT or consumption tax to its invoices and the
Company will pay to such Lender such GST, VAT or consumption tax as set forth
in such invoices.

The Lenders' commitment hereunder shall terminate on the earliest to occur of:
(a) May 15, 2001 unless the Equity Financing shall have been consummated; (b)
the consummation of an initial public offering by the Company with net cash
proceeds to the Company of less than $500.0 million (provided, however, that
up to $100.0 million of such net cash proceeds may instead be contributed to
the Company at or prior to an initial public offering of at least $400.0
million in net cash proceeds in a cash equity contribution); (c) December 15,
2001 unless the closing of the Bridge Loans, on the terms and subject to the
conditions contained herein, shall have been consummated; (d) the sale by the
Company, in one or more offerings for which Goldman Sachs acts as the sole
book-running and sole lead underwriter, initial purchaser and/or placement
agent, of debt securities or preferred stock having an aggregate principal
amount or liquidation preference, as applicable, of at least $500.0 million;
(e) such time as Nextel Communications, Inc. shall cease to beneficially own
at least 90% of the voting power and at least 70% of the economic interest of
the Company's outstanding capital stock; (f) termination of the Engagement
Letter by the Company; and (g) the occurrence of any breach or default in the
performance of any of the material obligations of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates set forth in, or relating to the transactions
contemplated by, the Engagement Letter.

                                   ANNEX A

In the event that any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent (each, an
"INDEMNIFIED PARTY") becomes involved in any capacity in any action,
proceeding or investigation brought by or against any person, including
stockholders of the Company in connection with or as a result of either this
arrangement or any matter referred to in this Commitment Letter or the Fee
Letter (together, the "LETTERS"), the Company periodically will reimburse such
Indemnified Party for its legal and other expenses (including the cost of any
investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith. The Company
also will indemnify and hold each Indemnified Party harmless against any and
all losses, claims, damages or liabilities to any such person in connection
with or as a result of either this arrangement or any matter referred to in
the Letters, except to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability results from the gross negligence or bad faith of such Indemnified
Party in performing the services that are the subject of the Letters. If for
any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified
Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Company shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such
loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative economic interests of the Company and its stockholders on
the one hand and such Indemnified Party on the other hand in the matters
contemplated by the Letters as well as the relative fault of the Company, on
the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, with respect to
such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable
considerations. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of
the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which
the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and
conditions to any affiliate of any Indemnified Party and the partners,
directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may
be, of such Indemnified Party and any such affiliate, and shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal
representatives of the Company such Indemnified Party, any such affiliate and
any such person. The Company also agrees that neither any Indemnified Party
nor any of such affiliates, partners, directors, agents, employees or
controlling persons shall have any liability to the Company, any person
asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company, or any other person
in connection with or as a result of either this arrangement or any matter
referred to in the Letters except to the extent that any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Company, result from the
gross negligence or bad faith of such Indemnified Party in performing the
services that are the subject of the Letters; provided, however, that in no
event shall such Indemnified Party or such other parties have any liability
for any indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with or as a
result of such Indemnified Party's or such other parties' activities related
to the Bridge Loans. ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH OR AS A RESULT OF EITHER THIS
ARRANGEMENT OR ANY MATTER REFERRED TO IN THE LETTERS IS HEREBY WAIVED BY THE
PARTIES HERETO. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ANNEX A SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION
OR COMPLETION OF THE ARRANGEMENT PROVIDED BY THE LETTERS, AND THIS COMMITMENT
LETTER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

               SUMMARY OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF BRIDGE LOANS

This Summary of Terms and Conditions outlines certain terms of the Bridge
Loans and the Bridge Loan Agreement referred to in the Commitment Letter, of
which this Annex B is a part. Certain capitalized terms used herein are
defined in the Commitment Letter.

<TABLE>
<S>                                <C>
           BORROWER.................The Company.

           LOANS....................$500.0 million in aggregate principal amount
                                    of Senior Increasing Rate Loans (the
                                    "BRIDGE LOANS"), which shall be made
                                    available, subject to the terms and
                                    conditions hereof, in a single draw equal
                                    to the amount of the Commitment.

           MATURITY.................One year from the date of the making of the
                                    Bridge Loans (the "MATURITY DATE"). If,
                                    upon the Maturity Date, any Bridge Loan has
                                    not been previously repaid in full, and
                                    provided no "CONVERSION DEFAULT" (as
                                    defined below) has occurred and is
                                    continuing, such Bridge Loan shall be
                                    automatically converted into a Term Loan
                                    (each a "TERM LOAN") due on the nine-year
                                    anniversary of the Maturity Date. At any
                                    time on or after the Maturity Date, at the
                                    option of the applicable Lender, the Term
                                    Loans may be exchanged in whole or in part
                                    for Senior Exchange Notes due on the
                                    nine-year anniversary of the Maturity Date
                                    (the "EXCHANGE NOTES") having an equal
                                    principal amount. The initial date of
                                    issuance of the Bridge Loans is hereinafter
                                    referred to as the "CLOSING DATE."

                                    "CONVERSION DEFAULT" shall mean any default
                                    under the Bridge Loan Agreement, any
                                    payment default under any material
                                    indebtedness, a bankruptcy default (as
                                    defined) or any payment default under the
                                    Engagement Letter or the Fee Letter.

                                    The Term Loans will be governed by the
                                    provisions of the Bridge Loan Agreement and
                                    will have the same terms as the Bridge
                                    Loans except as expressly set forth on
                                    Exhibit 1 to this Annex B. The Exchange
                                    Notes will be issued pursuant to an
                                    Indenture that will have the terms set
                                    forth on Exhibit 1 to this Annex B.

           INTEREST.................The Bridge Loans will initially bear
                                    interest at a rate per annum equal to (a)
                                    the bid-side yield, as of the Closing Date,
                                    on the Benchmark Security (as defined
                                    below), plus

                                    "Benchmark Security" means, at the option
                                    of the Administrative Agent, on any date
                                    of determination, the Company's 12.75%
                                    Senior Notes due 2010 or any other debt
                                    security issued by the Company after the
                                    date of this Commitment Letter and prior
                                    to the Closing Date.

                                    If the Bridge Loans are not repaid in whole
                                    within 90 days following the Closing Date,
                                    the interest rate on the Bridge Loans will
                                    reset at the bid-side yield on the
                                    Benchmark Security at the end of such
                                    90-day period (the "Reset Date") plus the
                                    Reset Spread (as defined below). The
                                    interest rate on the Bridge Loans will

                             EXHIBIT 1 TO ANNEX B

       SUMMARY OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF TERM LOANS AND EXCHANGE NOTES

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the
Summary of Terms and Conditions of Bridge Loans to which this Exhibit 1 is
attached.

                                  TERM LOANS

On the Maturity Date, so long as no Conversion Default has occurred and is
continuing, the outstanding Bridge Loans will be automatically converted into
Term Loans. The Term Loans will be governed by the provisions of the Bridge
Loan Agreement and, except as expressly set forth below, will have the same
terms as the Bridge Loans.

<TABLE>
<S>                               <C>
           MATURITY.................The Term Loans will mature on the tenth
                                    anniversary of the Closing Date.

           INTEREST RATE............The Term Loans will initially bear
                                    interest at a rate per annum equal to the
                                    sum of (a) the interest rate applicable to
                                    the Bridge Loans on the Maturity Date
                                    (after giving effect to any applicable
                                    step-up) plus (b) 50 basis points. If the
                                    Term Loans are not repaid within 90 days
                                    following the Maturity Date, the interest
                                    rate on the Term Loans will increase by 50
                                    basis points at the end of such 90-day
                                    period and will increase by an additional
                                    50 basis points at the end of each
                                    successive 90-day period thereafter.

                                    Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time
                                    will the interest rate in effect on the
                                    Term Loans be less than the Floor Rate or
                                    exceed 20.00% per annum. To the extent
                                    interest payable on the Term Loans on any
                                    quarterly interest payment date is at a
                                    rate that exceeds 18.00% per annum, the
                                    Company shall have the option to pay such
                                    excess interest by capitalizing to
                                    principal on the Term Loans.

                                    Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the
                                    occurrence and during the continuance of a
                                    Default or an Event of Default, interest
                                    will accrue on the Term Loans at the then
                                    applicable rate plus 200 basis points per
                                    annum.

                                    Interest on the Term Loans will be payable
                                    in arrears at the end of each fiscal
                                    quarter of the Company, on the date of any
                                    prepayment of the Term Loans and on the
                                    maturity date of the Term Loans.

           OPTIONAL
           REPAYMENT................The Term Loans may be prepaid, in whole or
                                    in part, at the option of the Company, at
                                    any time upon five business days' written
                                    notice, at a price equal to 100% of the
                                    principal amount thereof plus accrued
                                    interest to the date of redemption.

                                EXCHANGE NOTES

At any time on or after the Maturity Date, upon five or more business days
prior notice, the Term Loans may, at the option of a Lender, be exchanged for
a principal amount of Exchange Notes equal to 100% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Term Loans so exchanged (plus any accrued interest thereon not
required to be paid in cash) in connection with a transfer of Exchange Notes
to an unaffiliated third party. No Exchange Notes will be issued until the
Company receives requests to issue at least $25.0 million in aggregate
principal amount of Exchange Notes. The Company will issue Exchange Notes
under an indenture which complies with the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended (the "INDENTURE"). The Company will appoint a trustee reasonably
acceptable to the holders of the Exchange Notes. The Indenture will be fully
executed and delivered on the Closing Date and the Exchange Notes will be

                                    a rate that exceeds 18.00% per annum, the

                                    excess interest by capitalizing to
                                    principal on the Exchange Notes.

        3.     ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by the Board of
Directors. The Board shall have all of the powers necessary to enable it
properly to carry out its duties under the Plan, including but not limited to
the power and duty to construe and interpret the Plan and to determine all
questions that shall arise under the Plan, which interpretations and
determinations shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons. Subject to
the express provisions of the Plan, the Board may establish from time to time
such regulations, provisions and procedures which in its opinion may be
advisable in the administration of the Plan.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Plan to
the contrary, no discretion concerning decisions regarding the Plan shall be
afforded to a person who is not a

                                      2
<PAGE>   3

"disinterested person" (as defined in the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 16 of the Act, as in effect
from time to time). In the event that it is necessary for the proper
administration of the Plan to exercise any such discretion, and the Board is
so precluded from exercising such discretion, the Board may delegate any
authority to exercise such discretion to a person or committee of persons,
each of whom is a "disinterested person" as so defined.

        4.     ELIGIBILITY; OPTION GRANTS. Each Director shall automatically
be granted an option to purchase 2,500 shares of the Common Stock upon his or
her initial election to the Board of Directors, and shall automatically be
granted an option to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock on the Automatic
Award Date of each year beginning on April 1, 1994; provided, however, that
such automatic grants shall be (i) made pro rata to all Directors if on the
date of a grant there shall not be a number of shares sufficient to make all
such grants and (ii) subject to adjustment or substitution pursuant to Section
11 hereof from the date hereof, irrespective of whether such option has been
granted.

        5.     SHARES AVAILABLE. The Board of Directors shall reserve for the
purposes of the Plan, and by adoption of the Plan does hereby reserve, out of
the authorized but unissued Common Stock, a total of 125,000 shares of Common
Stock of the Company (subject to adjustment or substitution pursuant to
Section 11 hereof). In the event that an Option granted or Award under the
Plan to any Director expires or is terminated unexercised or is forfeited as
to any shares covered thereby, such shares shall again be available for the
granting of Options or Awards under the Plan.

        6.     OPTION PRICE. The price at which each share of Common Stock
(subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11 hereof) may be purchased upon
the exercise of an Option (the "Option Price") shall be the Fair Market Value
of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option on the date such Option is
granted.

        7.     EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.

               (a)    Each option granted under the Plan by its terms shall
        require the Director granted such option to remain available to serve
        as a Director of the Company for six months from the date of the grant
        of such option before the right to exercise any part of such option
        will accrue. A Director may thereafter exercise any or all of such
        option until the expiration or termination of the option; provided,
        that not less than 100 shares may be purchased at any one time unless
        the number of shares purchased is the total number at such time
        purchasable under the option. Subject to earlier termination as
        provided herein, all options granted under this Plan shall expire ten
        years from the date of grant thereof.

               (b)    If an optionee shall cease to be a Director of the
        Company otherwise than by reason of such optionee's death or
        Disability or a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined), then,
        subject to Subsection 7(a) hereof, the option shall be exercisable at
        any time prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration date of such
        option or (ii) that date which is three years from the date such
        optionee ceases to be a Director, such three month period

                                      3
<PAGE>   4

        to include the date on which such termination occurs. If an Optionee
        ceases to be a Director of the Company as a result of such optionee's
        death or Disability, then, subject to Subsection 7(a) hereof, the
        option shall be exercisable at any time prior to the earlier of (i)
        the expiration date of such option or (ii) that date which is one year
        from the date such optionee ceases to be a Director. If an optionee
        ceases to be a Director by reason of a Change of Control, then such
        option shall be exercisable in full, whether or not it is exercisable
        on the date of such termination, at any time prior to the earlier of
        (i) the expiration date of such option or (ii) that date which is one
        year from the date such optionee ceases to be a Director.

               (c)    Each Option granted under the Plan by its terms shall
        not be transferable by the Optionee otherwise than by will, or if the
        Optionee dies intestate, by the laws of descent and distribution, and
        such Option shall be exercisable during such Optionee's lifetime only
        by such Optionee. In the event of the death of an Optionee, then,
        subject to Subsection 7(a) hereof, such Optionee's Options shall be
        exercisable to the extent herein provided by the executor or personal
        representative of the Optionee's estate or by any person who acquired
        the right to exercise such Option by bequest under the Optionee's will
        or by inheritance.

               (d)    Each Option shall be confirmed by a Stock Option
        Agreement executed by the Company and by the Optionee to whom such
        Option is granted.

               (e)    The Option Price for each share of Common Stock
        purchased pursuant to the exercise of each Option shall, at the time
        of the exercise of the Option, be paid in full in cash or equivalent.
        An Option shall be deemed exercised only when written notice of such
        exercise, together with payment of the Option Price, is received from
        the Optionee by the Company at its principal office. No Optionee shall
        have any rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to Common
        Stock issuable pursuant to such Optionee's Option until such Option is
        duly exercised.

               (f)    To the extent that an Option is not exercised within the
        period of time prescribed therefor as set forth in the Plan, the
        Option shall lapse and all rights of the Optionee thereunder shall
        terminate.

        8.     AUTOMATIC SHARE AWARDS. As of each Automatic Award Date, each
Director shall receive, in lieu of 50% of the Director's Compensation, the
number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to
50% of the Director's Compensation by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of
the Common Stock on the Award Date.

        9.     ELECTIVE GRANT OF COMMON STOCK. Each Director may, in addition
to the automatic share awards provided for in Section 8, elect to receive a
percentage of the Director's remaining Compensation in the form of Common
Stock. The election may be for any percentage of the Director's remaining
Compensation (after reduction for the automatic share award provided for in
Section 8) up to 100%. Such election must specify the percentage of the
Director's remaining Compensation that is to be paid in Common Stock and must
be made in writing no later than September 1 of the year in which the election
is made. The Director will

                                      4
<PAGE>   5

receive his or her Elective Grant of Common Stock on October 1 of such year.
The total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to an
Elective Award shall be determined by dividing the amount of the Director's
Compensation that is to be paid in Common Stock by the Fair Market Value of a
share of the Common Stock on the date the Award is made.

        10.    FRACTIONAL SHARES. In no event shall the Company be required to
issue fractional shares. Whenever under the terms of Section 8 or 9 a
fractional share of Common Sock would otherwise be required to be issued, an
amount in lieu thereof shall be paid in cash based upon the Fair Market Value
of such fractional share on the date of the Award.

        11.    ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES. In the event that a dividend
shall be declared upon the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, the
number of shares of Common Stock then subject to any Option or Award and the
number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan but not yet
covered by an Option or an Award shall be adjusted by adding to each such
share the number of shares which would be distributable thereon if such share
had been outstanding on the date fixed for determining the shareholders
entitled to receive such stock dividend. In the event that the outstanding
shares of Common Stock generally shall be changed into or exchanged for a
different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company
or of another corporation, or changed into or exchanged for cash or property
or the right to receive cash or property (but not including any dividend
payable in cash or property other than a liquidating distribution), whether
through reorganization, recapitalization, stock split-up, combination of
shares, merger or consolidation, then there shall be substituted for each
share of Common Stock subject to any Option or Award, and for each share of
Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan but not yet covered by
an Option or an Award, the number and kind of shares of stock or other
securities or cash or property or the right to receive cash or property into
which each outstanding share of Common Stock shall be so changed or for which
each such share shall be exchanged. In the case of any such substitution or
adjustment as provided for in this Section 11, the aggregate Option Price for
each share or shares covered thereby prior to such substitution or adjustment
shall be the aggregate Option Price for all shares of stock or other
securities or cash or property or the right to receive cash or property which
shall have been substituted for such share or shares or to which such share or
shares shall have been adjusted pursuant to this Section 11. No adjustment or
substitution provided for in this Section 11 shall require the Company in any
Stock Option Agreement or Elective Award Agreement to issue a fractional share
and the total substitution or adjustment with respect to each Stock Option
Agreement or Elective Award Agreement shall be limited accordingly.

        12.    CHANGE OF CONTROL.

               (a)    In the event of a Change of Control (as defined below)
        of the Company, all Stock Options then outstanding shall become fully
        exercisable as of the date of the Change of Control, whether or not
        then exercisable, subject to the limitation that any Stock Option
        which has been outstanding less than six months on the date of the
        Change of Control shall not be afforded such treatment.

               (b)    A "Change of Control" of the Company means, and shall be
        deemed to have occurred upon any of the following events:

                                      5

<PAGE>   6
                      (i)    The acquisition by any person, individual, entity
               or "group" (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2)
               of the Exchange Act) (collectively, Persons) of beneficial
               ownership (the phrases "beneficial ownership", "beneficial
               owners" and "beneficially owned" as used herein being within
               the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act)
               of 30% or more of either (i) the then outstanding shares of
               common stock of the Company (the Outstanding Company Common
               Stock) or (ii) the combined voting power of the then
               outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote
               generally in the election of directors (the Outstanding Company
               Voting Securities); provided, however, that the following
               acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (i) any
               acquisition directly from the Company, (ii) any acquisition by
               the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any acquisition
               by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or
               maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iv) any
               acquisition by any corporation with respect to which, following
               such acquisition, more than 75% of, respectively, the then
               outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation and the
               combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities
               of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election
               of directors are then beneficially owned by all or
               substantially all of the Persons who were the beneficial
               owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock
               and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to
               such acquisition in substantially the same proportions as their
               beneficial ownership, immediately prior to such acquisition, of
               the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company
               Voting Securities, as the case may be; or

                      (ii)   Individuals who, as of August 2, 1989, constitute
               the Board of Directors of the Company (the Incumbent Board)
               cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the
               Board of Directors; provided, however, that any individual who
               becomes a director subsequent to August 2, 1989 and whose
               election, or whose nomination for election by the Company's
               shareholders, to the Board of Directors was approved by a vote
               of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the
               Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual
               were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this
               purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office
               occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election
               contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation
               14A promulgated under the Exchange Act), other actual or
               threatened solicitation of proxies or consents or an actual or
               threatened tender offer; or

                      (iii)  Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a
               reorganization, merger or consolidation, in each case, with
               respect to which all or substantially all of the Persons who
               were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding
               Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities
               immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or
               consolidation do not, following such reorganization, merger or
               consolidation, beneficially own more

                                      6
<PAGE>   7

               than 75% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of
               common stock and the combined voting power of the then
               outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the
               election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation
               resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation in
               substantially the same proportions as their beneficial
               ownership, immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or
               consolidation, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and
               Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be; or

                      (iv)   Approval by the shareholders of the Company of
               (i) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or
               (ii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all
               of the assets of the Company, other than to a corporation, with
               respect to which following such sale or other disposition, more
               than 75% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of
               common stock of such corporation and the combined voting power
               of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation
               entitled to vote generally in the election of directors is then
               beneficially owned by all or substantially all of the Persons
               who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the
               Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting
               Securities immediately prior to such sale or other disposition
               in substantially the same proportion as their beneficial
               ownership, immediately prior to such sale or other disposition,
               of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company
               Voting Securities, as the case may be.

        13.    AMENDMENT OF PLAN. The Board of Directors shall have the right
to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time; provided that, except as
and to the extent authorized and permitted by Section 11 above, (a) without
stockholder approval, no amendment may be made that would increase the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan or allow the exercise price
of options or the price of share awards made pursuant to Section 8 or 9 to be
less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, (b)
no amendment, suspension or termination shall adversely affect the rights of
any Optionee as to any outstanding Option without the consent of such
Optionee, subject to any limitation on such rights set forth in the Plan or
such Optionee's Stock Option Agreement except for any amendment the Board
deems necessary to preserve or provide exemptions from the applicability of
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act to the grant, lapse, disposition,
cancellation or exercise of Options; and (c) no amendment relating to the
determination of the Optionees or of the grant dates, of the number of Options
granted to any Optionee or of the Option Price, shall be made more than once
every six months, other than to comport with changes in the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules
thereunder. In no event shall the Board of Directors have the right to amend
the Plan to provide that discretion concerning decisions regarding the Plan
shall be afforded to a person who is not a "disinterested person" under
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

        14.    RESALES OF SHARES. The Company may impose such restrictions on
the sale or other disposition of shares issued pursuant to the exercise of
Options or upon the payment of an Award as the Board deems necessary to comply
with applicable securities laws. Certificates for shares issued upon the
exercise of Options or the payment of Awards may bear such legends as the
Company deems necessary to give notice of such restrictions.

                                      7

<PAGE>   8

        15.    COMPLIANCE WITH LAW AND OTHER CONDITIONS. No shares shall be
issued pursuant to the exercise of any Option of the payment of any Award
granted under the Plan prior to compliance by the Company, to the satisfaction
of its counsel, with any applicable laws. The Company shall not be obligated
to (but may in its discretion) take any action under applicable federal or
state securities laws (including registration or qualification of the Plan,
the Options or the Common Stock) necessary for compliance therewith in order
to permit the issuance of shares upon the granting of Awards or upon the
exercise of Options or the immediate resale thereof by Optionees, except for
actions (other than registration or qualification) that may be taken by the
Company without unreasonable effort or expense and without the incurrence of
any material exposure to liability.

        16.    NONQUALIFIED OPTIONS.  Options granted under the Plan will not
be treated as "incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986.

        17.    EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION. The Plan shall be effective on
November 3, 1993, subject to approval of the Plan by the holders of a majority
of the shares presented or represented at the 1994 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders. The Plan shall terminate on October 31, 2003.
