as the Committee may adopt,  including the  provisions set forth in paragraphs 2
through 11 of this Article V.

4. All Stock Options granted hereunder must be granted within ten years from the
date  this  Plan is  adopted.  5. No Stock  Option  granted  hereunder  shall be
exercisable  after  the  expiration  of ten  years  from the date  such  NQSO is
granted. The Committee,  in its discretion,  may provide that an option shall be
exercisable during such ten year period or during any lesser period of time. The
Committee may establish  installment exercise terms for a Stock Option such that
the NQSO becomes fully  exercisable  in a series of cumulating  portions.  If an
Optionee  shall not, in any given  installment  period,  purchase all the Common
Shares  which such  Optionee is entitled  to  purchase  within such  installment
period,  such  Optionee's  right to purchase any Common  Shares not purchased in
such   installment   period  shall  continue  until  the  expiration  or  sooner
termination of such NQSO. The Committee may also  accelerate the exercise of any
NQSO.

6. A Stock Option,  or portion  thereof,  shall be exercised by deliver of (i) a
written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Common Shares
to be purchased,  and (ii) payment of the full price of such Common  Shares,  as
fully set forth in paragraph 7 of this Article V. No NQSO or installment thereof
shall be reusable  except with respect to whole  shares,  and  fractional  share
interests shall be disregarded. Not less than 100 Common Shares may be purchased
at one  time  unless  the  number  purchased  is the  total  number  at the time
available for purchase under the NQSO. Until the Common Shares represented by an
exercised  NQSO are issued to an Optionee,  he/she shall have none of the rights
of a shareholder.

7. The exercise price of a Stock Option, or portion thereof, may be paid:

      A. In United  States  dollars,  in cash or by cashier's  check,  certified
      check,  bank draft or money order,  payable to the order of the Company in
      an amount equal to the option price; or,

      B. At the discretion of the Committee,  through the delivery of fully paid
      and  nonassessable  Common  Shares,  with an  aggregate  fair market value
      (determined as the average of the highest and lowest reported sales prices
      on the Common  Shares as of the date of exercise of the NQSO,  as reported
      by such responsible  reporting  service as the Committee may select, or if
      there were not  transactions  in the Common  Shares on such day,  then the
      last preceding day on which  transactions  took place),  as of the date of
      the NQSO  exercise  equal to the  option  price,  provided  such  tendered
      shares,  or any  derivative  security  resulting in the issuance of Common
      Shares, have been owned by the Optionee for at least 30 days prior to such
      exercise; or,

      C. By a combination of both A and B above.

<PAGE>

8. The Committee shall determine  acceptable methods for tendering Common Shares
as payment upon exercise of a Stock Option and may impose such  limitations  and
prohibitions  on the use of  Common  Shares  to  exercise  an  NQSO as it  deems
appropriate.

9. With the Optionee's consent, the Committee may cancel any Stock Option issued
under this Plan and issue a new NQSO to such Optionee.

10. Except by will,  the laws of descent and  distribution,  or with the written
consent of the Committee, no right or interest in any Stock Option granted under
the Plan shall be  assignable or  transferable,  and no right or interest of any
Optionee  shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien,  obligation or liability
of the Optionee.  Upon petition to, and thereafter  with the written  consent of
the  Committee,  an  Optionee  may  assign or  transfer  all or a portion of the
Optionee's  rights and interest in any stock  option  granted  hereunder.  Stock
Options shall be exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee
or assignees,  or the duly  appointed  legal  representative  of an  incompetent
Optionee,  including  following  an  assignment  consented  to by the  Committee
herein.

11. No NQSO shall be exercisable while there is outstanding any other NQSO which
was granted to the  Optionee  before the grant of such option  under the Plan or
any other plan which gives the right to the  Optionee  to purchase  stock in the
Company or in a corporation which is a parent corporation (as defined in Section
425(e) of the Code) of the Company,  or any  predecessor  corporation  of any of
such  corporations  at the  time of the  grant.  An NQSO  shall  be  treated  as
outstanding  until it is either  exercised in full or expires by reason of lapse
of time.

12. Any  Optionee who  disposes of Common  Shares  acquired on the exercise of a
NQSO by sale or exchange either (i) within two years after the date of the grant
of the NQSO under  which the stock was  acquired,  or (ii) within one year after
the acquisition of such Shares, shall notify the Company of such disposition and
of the amount realized upon such disposition.  The transfer of Common Shares may
also be restricted by applicable  provisions of the  Securities  Act of 1933, as
amended.

13. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service  Provider,  such Optionee may exercise
his or her Option within thirty (30) days of termination,  or such longer period
of time as specified in the Option Agreement, to the extent the Option is vested
on the date of  termination  (but in no event later than the  expiration  of the
term of the  Option as set forth in the  Option  Agreement).  If, on the date of
termination,  the  Optionee  is not vested as to his or her entire  Option,  the
Shares  covered by the unvested  portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.
If after  termination,  the Optionee  does not exercise his or her Option within
the thirty (30) days or within time specified by the Committee, the Option shall
terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                    ADJUSTMENTS OR CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

1. In the event that the outstanding  Common Shares of the Company are hereafter
changed  into or  exchanged  for a different  number of kinds of shares or other
securities   of  the   Company  by  reason  of  merger,   consolidation,   other
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination of shares, stock
split-up or stock dividend:

      A. Prompt, proportionate,  equitable, lawful and adequate adjustment shall
      be made of the  aggregate  number  and  kind of  shares  subject  to Stock
      Options which may be granted under the Plan,  such that the Optionee shall
      have the right to purchase such Common Shares as may be issued in exchange
      for the Common Shares purchasable on exercise of the NQSO had such merger,
      consolidation, other reorganization,  recapitalization,  reclassification,
      combination of shares, stock split-up or stock dividend not taken place;

      B. Rights under  unexercised  Stock  Options or portions  thereof  granted
      prior to any such change,  both as to the number or kind of shares and the
      exercise price per share, shall be adjusted  appropriately,  provided that
      such adjustments  shall be made without change in the total exercise price
      applicable to the unexercised  portion of such NQSO's but by an adjustment
      in the price for each share covered by such NQSO's; or,

      C. Upon any  dissolution  or  liquidation  of the Company or any merger or
      combination  in which the  Company is not a  surviving  corporation,  each
      outstanding  Stock  Option  granted  hereunder  shall  terminate,  but the
      Optionee  shall have the  right,  immediately  prior to such  dissolution,
      liquidation,  merger or combination,  to exercise his/her NQSO in whole or
      in part,  to the  extent  that it shall not have been  exercised,  without
      regard to any installment exercise provisions in such NQSO.

2. The  foregoing  adjustment  and the manner of  application  of the  foregoing
provisions shall be determined solely by the Committee,  whose  determination as
to what  adjustments  shall  be made and the  extent  thereof,  shall be  final,
binding and conclusive.  No fractional  Shares shall be issued under the Plan on
account of any such adjustments.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                      MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR TENDER OFFER

1. If the  Company  shall  be a party  to a  binding  agreement  to any  merger,
consolidation or  reorganization  or sale of substantially all the assets of the
Company, each outstanding Stock Option shall pertain and apply to the securities
and/or  property  which a  shareholder  of the  number of  Common  Shares of the
Company  subject  to the NQSO would be  entitled  to  receive  pursuant  to such
merger, consolidation or reorganization or sale of assets.

<PAGE>

2. In the event that:

      A. Any person  other than the Company  shall  acquire more than 20% of the
      Common  Shares of the Company  through a tender offer,  exchange  offer or
      otherwise;

      B. A change  in the  "control"  of the  Company  occurs,  as such  term is
      defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933;

      C. There shall be a sale of all or substantially  all of the assets of the
      Company;  any then  outstanding  Stock Option held by an Optionee,  who is
      deemed by the Committee to be a statutory officer ("insider") for purposes
      of Section 16 of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 shall be entitled to
      receive,  subject  to  any  action  by  the  Committee  revoking  such  an
      entitlement  as  provided  for below,  in lieu of  exercise  of such Stock
      Option,  to the extent that it is then  exercisable,  a cash payment in an
      amount equal to the  difference  between the aggregate  exercise  price of
      such  NQSO,  or  portion  thereof,  and,  (i) in the  event of an offer or
      similar event, the final offer price per share paid for Common Shares,  or
      such lower price as the  Committee  may  determine to conform an option to
      preserve  its  Stock  Option  status,  times the  number of Common  Shares
      covered  by the NQSO or portion  thereof,  or (ii) in the case of an event
      covered by B or C above,  the  aggregate  fair market  value of the Common
      Shares covered by the Stock Option, as determined by the Committee at such
      time.

3. Any payment  which the Company is required to make pursuant to paragraph 2 of
this Article VII,  shall be made within 15 business  days,  following  the event
which results in the Optionee's right to such payment.  In the event of a tender
offer  in which  fewer  than all the  shares  which  are  validity  tendered  in
compliance with such offer are purchased or exchanged, then only that portion of
the shares  covered  by an NQSO as results  from  multiplying  such  shares by a
fraction,  the  numerator  of which is the  number  of  Common  Shares  acquired
purchase  to the  offer  and the  denominator  of which is the  number of Common
Shares  tendered in compliance  with such offer,  shall be used to determine the
payment thereupon. To the extent that all or any portion of a Stock Option shall
be  affected  by this  provision,  all or such  portion  of the  NQSO  shall  be
terminated.

4.  Notwithstanding  paragraphs 1 and 3 of this Article VII, the Company may, by
unanimous  vote and  resolution,  unilaterally  revoke the benefits of the above
provisions;  provided,  however,  that  such  vote is taken  no  later  than ten
business days  following  public  announcement  of the intent of an offer of the
change of control, whichever occurs earlier.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                        AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

1. The Board may at any time,  and from time to time,  suspend or terminate  the
Plan in whole or in part or amend it from time to time in such  respects  as the
Board may deem appropriate and in the best interest of the Company.

2. No  amendment,  suspension  or  termination  of this Plan shall,  without the
Optionee's  consent,  alter or impair any of the rights or obligations under any
Stock Option theretofore granted to him/her under the Plan.

3. The Board may amend the Plan, subject to the limitations cited above, in such
manner as it deems necessary to permit the granting of Stock Options meeting the
requirements of future amendments or issued regulations, if any, to the Code.

4. No NQSO may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after termination
of the Plan.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                        GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS

The  obligation of the Company to issue,  transfer and deliver Common Shares for
Stock Options  exercised under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws,
regulations,  rules,  orders  and  approval  which  shall  then be in effect and
required by the relevant  stock  exchanges on which the Common Shares are traded
and by  government  entities as set forth below or as the  Committee in its sole
discretion shall deem necessary or advisable.  Specifically,  in connection with
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  upon exercise of any Stock Option,  the
Company  shall not be required to issue Common  Shares  unless the Committee has
received  evidence  satisfactory  to it to the effect that the Optionee will not
transfer such shares except pursuant to a registration statement in effect under
such Act or unless an opinion of counsel  satisfactory  to the  Company has been
received by the Company to the effect that such  registration  is not  required.
Any  determination  in this connection by the Committee shall be final,  binding
and conclusive.  The Company may, but shall in no event be obligated to take any
other affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of a Stock Option or the
issuance of Common Shares purchase  thereto to comply with any law or regulation
of any government authority.

                                    ARTICLE X
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

1. No person  shall have any claim or right to be granted a Stock  Option  under
the Plan,  and the grant of an NQSO  under the Plan  shall not be  construed  as
giving an Optionee  the right to be retained by the  Company.  Furthermore,  the
Company  expressly  reserves the right at any time to terminate its relationship

5.  Without  amending  the Plan,  grants may be made to persons  who are foreign
nationals  or employed  outside the United  States,  or both,  on such terms and
conditions,  consistent with the Plan's purpose,  different from those specified

judgment based upon a finding of bad faith;  provided that upon the  institution

7.  Stock  Options  may be  granted  under  this  Plan  form  time to  time,  in

consolidation  of the employing  corporation with the Company or the acquisition
by the Company of the assets of the employing  corporation or the acquisition by
the Company of stock of the employing corporation as a result of which it become
a subsidiary of the Company.  The terms and conditions of such substitute  stock
options so granted may vary from the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan
to such  extent as the Board of Director of the Company at the time of grant may
deem appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions of the stock
options in substitution for which they are granted, but no such variations shall
be such as to affect the status of any such substitute  stock options as a stock
option under Section 422A of the Code.

of his/her  association  with the Company or any  subsidiary  corporation  which
damaged the  Company or any  subsidiary  corporation,  or for  disclosing  trade
secrets of the Company or any subsidiary corporation, the Optionee shall forfeit

of such  Optionee by the Company or any  subsidiary  corporation  in any manner.
Further, if Optionee  voluntarily  terminates  employment with the Company,  the
Optionee shall forfeit all unexercised stock options.
