sales were reported, the closing bid on that day shall be used), as such price is reported in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL or such other
source as the Administrator deems reliable;

under the Plan is 6,300,000 shares of Common Stock. The Shares may be
authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock.

having been exercised in full, the unpurchased Shares that were subject thereto
shall, unless the Plan shall have been terminated, become available for future
grant under the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, shares
issued under the Plan and later repurchased by the Company shall not become
available for future grant or sale under the Plan.

4. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

(a) COMPOSITION OF ADMINISTRATOR.

(i) MULTIPLE ADMINISTRATIVE BODIES. If permitted by Rule
16b-3, and by the legal requirements relating to the administration of
incentive stock option plans, if any, of applicable securities laws and the
Code (collectively, the "Applicable Laws"), the Plan may (but need not) be
administered by different administrative bodies with respect to Directors,
Officers and Employees who are neither Directors nor Officers.

(ii) ADMINISTRATION WITH RESPECT TO DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
With respect to grants of Options to Employees or Consultants who are also
Officers or Directors of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the
Board, if the Board may administer the Plan in compliance with Rule 16b-3 as it
applies to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary plan and
Section 162(m) of the Code as it applies so as to qualify grants of Options to
Named Executives as performance-based compensation, or (B) a Committee
designated by the Board to administer the Plan, which Committee shall be
constituted in such a manner as to permit the Plan to comply with Rule 16b-3 as
it applies to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary plan, to
qualify grants of Options to Named Executives as performance-based compensation
under Section 162(m) of the Code and to satisfy the Applicable Laws.

(iii) ADMINISTRATION WITH RESPECT TO OTHER PERSONS. With
respect to grants of Options to Employees or Consultants who are neither
Directors nor Officers of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A)
the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee shall be
constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws.

(iv) GENERAL. Once a Committee has been appointed pursuant to
subsection (ii) or (iii) of this Section 4(a), such Committee shall continue
to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. From
time to time the Board may increase the size of any Committee and appoint
additional members thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint
new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies (however caused) and remove
all members of a Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to
the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws and, in the case of a Committee
appointed under subsection (ii), to the extent permitted by Rule 16b-3 as it
applies to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary plan, and to
the extent required under Section 162(m) of the Code to qualify grants of
Options to Named Executives as performance-based compensation.

(b) POWERS OF THE ADMINISTRATOR. Subject to the provisions of the
Plan and in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board
to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its
discretion:

(i) to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, in
accordance with Section 2(m) of the Plan;

(ii) to select the Employees and Consultants to whom Options
may from time to time be granted hereunder;

(iii) to determine whether and to what extent Options are
granted hereunder;

(iv) to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be
covered by each such award granted hereunder;

(v) to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

(vi) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent
with the terms of the Plan, of any award granted hereunder (including, but not
limited to, the share price and any restriction or limitation, or any vesting
acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions regarding any Option and/or
the shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors
as the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion);

(vii) to determine whether, to what extent and under what
circumstances Common Stock and other amounts payable with respect to an award
under this Plan shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the
participant (including providing for and determining the amount, if any, of
any deemed earnings on any deferred amount during any deferral period); and

(viii) to reduce the exercise price of any Option to the then
current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered
by such Option shall have declined since the date the Option was granted;

(c) EFFECT OF ADMINISTRATOR'S DECISION. All decisions,
determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and
binding on all Optionees and any other holders of any Options.

5. ELIGIBILITY.

(a) RECIPIENTS OF GRANTS. Nonstatutory Stock Options may be granted
only to Employees and Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only
to Employees. An Employee or Consultant who has been granted an Option may, if
he or she is otherwise eligible, be granted an additional Option or Options.

(b) TYPE OF OPTIONS. Each Option shall be designated in the written
option agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock
Option. However, notwithstanding such designations, to the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value of shares with respect to which Incentive Stock
Options are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar
year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds
$100,000, such excess Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.
For purposes of this Section 5(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into
account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of
the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such
Shares is granted.

(c) NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS. The Plan shall not confer upon any
Optionee any right with respect to continuation of employment or consulting
relationship with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her
right or the Company's right to terminate his or her employment or consulting
relationship at any time, with or without cause.

6. TERM OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to
occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the shareholders of the
Company as described in
Section 20 of the Plan. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10)
years unless sooner terminated under Section 16 of the Plan.

7. TERM OF OPTION. The term of each Option shall be the term stated in
the Option Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock
Option, the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant
thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.
However, in the case of an Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the
Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary,
the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or
such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.

8. LIMITATION ON GRANTS TO EMPLOYEES. Subject to adjustment as provided
in this Plan, the maximum number of Shares which may be subject to Options
granted to any one Employee under this Plan for any fiscal year of the Company
shall be 250,000.

9. OPTION EXERCISE PRICE AND CONSIDERATION.

(a) EXERCISE PRICE. The per Share exercise price for the Shares to
be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined
by the Administrator, but shall be subject to the following:

(i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

(A) granted to an Employee who, at the time of the grant
of such Incentive Stock Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent
(10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent
or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the
Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant;

(B) granted to any Employee, the per Share exercise price
shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of
grant.

(ii) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option

(A) granted to a person who, at the time of the grant of
such Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the
per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per
Share on the date of the grant;

(B) granted to a person who, at the time of the grant of
such Option, is a Named Executive of the Company, the per share Exercise Price
shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant;

(C) granted to any person other than a Named Executive,
the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value
per Share on the date of grant.

(b) PERMISSIBLE CONSIDERATION. The consideration to be paid for the
Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment,
shall be determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock
Option, shall be determined at the time of grant) and may consist entirely of
(1) cash, (2) check, (3) promissory note, (4) other Shares that (x) in the
case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option either have been owned by the
Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender or were not acquired,
directly or indirectly, from the Company, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on
the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to
which said Option shall be exercised, (5) authorization from the Company to
retain from the total number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised that
number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the
exercise price for the total number of Shares as to which the Option is
exercised, (6) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with
irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the
amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price, (7)
delivery of an irrevocable subscription agreement for the Shares that
irrevocably obligates the option holder to take and pay for the Shares not more
than twelve months after the date of delivery of the subscription agreement,
(8) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment, or (9) such other
consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent
permitted under Applicable Laws. In making its determination as to the type of
consideration to accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such
consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company.

10. EXERCISE OF OPTION.

(a) PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE; RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. Any Option
granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions
as determined by the Administrator, including performance criteria with respect
to the Company and/or the Optionee, and as shall be permissible under the terms
of the Plan.

An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such
exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the
Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the
Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the
Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any
consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 9(b) of the Plan.
Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the
Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock
certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any
other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock,
notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause
to be issued) such stock certificate promptly upon exercise of the Option. No
adjustment
will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to
the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 14 of
the Plan.

Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the
number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the
Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the
Option is exercised.

(b) TERMINATION OF STATUS AS AN EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT. In the
event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee or
Consultant, such Optionee may, but only within thirty (30) days (or such other
period of time, not exceeding three (3) months in the case of an Incentive Stock
Option or six (6) months in the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, as is
determined by the Administrator, with such determination in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option being made at the time of grant of the Option) after the
date of such termination (but in no event later than the date of expiration of
the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise his or
her Option to the extent that he or she was entitled to exercise it at the date
of such termination. To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to
exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if the optionee does not
exercise such Option (which he or she was entitled to exercise) within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

(c) DISABILITY OF OPTIONEE. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 10(b) above, in the event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous
Status as an Employee or Consultant as a result of his or her total and
permanent disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), he or she
may, but only within six (6) months (or such other period of time not exceeding
twelve (12) months as is determined by the Administrator, with such
determination in the case of an Incentive Stock Option being made at the time of
grant of the Option) from the date of such termination (but in no event later
than the date of expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the
Option Agreement), exercise his or her Option to the extent he or she was
entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that he
or she was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if
he does not exercise such Option (which he was entitled to exercise) within the
time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

(d) DEATH OF OPTIONEE. In the event of the death of an Optionee:

(i) during the term of the Option who is at the time of his
death an Employee or Consultant of the Company and who shall have been in
Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant since the date of grant of the
Option, the Option may be exercised, at any time within six (6) months (or such
other period of time, not exceeding six (6) months, as is determined by the
Administrator, with such determination in the case of an Incentive Stock Option
being made at the time of grant of the Option) following the date of death (but
in no event later than the date of expiration of the term of such Option as set
forth in the Option Agreement), by the Optionee's estate or by a person who
acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance but only to
the extent of the right to exercise that would have accrued had the Optionee
continued living and remained in Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant
three (3) months (or such other period of time as is determined by the
Administrator as provided above) after the date of death, subject to the
limitation set forth in Section 5(b); or

(ii) within thirty (30) days (or such other period of time not
exceeding three (3) months as is determined by the Administrator, with such
determination in the case of an Incentive Stock Option being made at the time of
grant of the Option) after the termination of Continuous Status as an Employee
or Consultant, the Option may be exercised, at any time within six (6) months
following the date of death (but in no event later than the date of expiration
of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by the
Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option
by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that
had accrued at the date of termination.

(e) RULE 16b-3. Options granted to persons subject to Section 16(b)
of the Exchange Act must comply with Rule 16b-3 and shall contain such
additional conditions or restrictions as may be required thereunder to qualify
for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to
Plan transactions.

11. WITHHOLDING TAXES. As a condition to the exercise of Options granted
hereunder, the Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Administrator may
require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding
tax obligations that may arise in connection with the exercise, receipt or
vesting of such Option. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares
under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

12. STOCK WITHHOLDING TO SATISFY WITHHOLDING TAX OBLIGATIONS. At the discretion of the Administrator, Optionees may satisfy
withholding obligations
as provided in this paragraph. When an Optionee incurs tax liability in
connection with an Option which tax liability is subject to tax withholding
under applicable tax laws, and the Optionee is obligated to pay the Company an
amount required to be withheld under applicable tax laws, the Optionee may
satisfy the withholding tax obligation by one or some combination of the
following methods: (a) by cash payment, or (b) out of Optionee's current
compensation, (c) if permitted by the Administrator, in its discretion, by
surrendering to the Company Shares that (i) in the case of Shares previously
acquired from the Company, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six
months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a fair market value on the date
of surrender equal to or less than Optionee's marginal tax rate times the
ordinary income recognized, or (d) by electing to have the Company withhold from
the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option that number of Shares having
a fair market value equal to the amount required to be withheld. For this
purpose, the fair market value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined
on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax
Date").

Any surrender by an Officer or Director of previously owned
Shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations arising upon exercise of this
Option must comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 and shall be
subject to such additional conditions or restrictions as may be required
thereunder to qualify for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange
Act with respect to Plan transactions.

All elections by an Optionee to have Shares withheld to satisfy
tax withholding obligations shall be made in writing in a form acceptable to the
Administrator and shall be subject to the following restrictions:

(a) the election must be made on or prior to the applicable Tax Date;

(b) once made, the election shall be irrevocable as to the particular
Shares of the Option as to which the election is made;

(c) all elections shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of
the Administrator;

(d) if the Optionee is an Officer or Director, the election must
comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 and shall be subject to such
additional conditions or restrictions as may be required thereunder to qualify
for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to
Plan transactions.

In the event the election to have Shares withheld is made by an
Optionee and the Tax Date is deferred under Section 83 of the Code because no
election is filed under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Optionee shall receive
the full number of Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised but such
Optionee shall be unconditionally obligated to tender back to the Company the
proper number of Shares on the Tax Date.

13. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. The Option may not be sold, pledged,
assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by
will or by the laws of descent or distribution. The designation of a
beneficiary by an Optionee will not constitute a transfer. An Option may be
exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee or a
transferee permitted by this Section 13.

14. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION; CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS. 

(a) ADJUSTMENTS. Subject to any required action by the shareholders
of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding
Option, the number of shares of Common Stock that have been authorized for
issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet been granted or
which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an
Option, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which Options may be
granted to any employee under Section 8 of the Plan, and the price per share of
Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common
Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt
of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected
without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the
Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and
conclusive. Except as expressly
provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price
of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.

(b) CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS. In the event of the proposed dissolution
or liquidation of the Company, the Option will terminate immediately prior to
the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the
Administrator. The Administrator may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in
such instances, declare that any Option shall terminate as of a date fixed by
the Administrator and give each Optionee the right to exercise his or her Option
as to all or any part of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which the
Option would not otherwise be exercisable. In the event of a proposed sale of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the
Company with or into another corporation, the Option shall be assumed or an
equivalent option shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent
or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the Administrator
determines, in the exercise of its sole discretion and in lieu of such
assumption or substitution, that the Optionee shall have the right to exercise
the Option as to some or all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which
the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. If the Administrator makes an
Option exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a
merger or sale of assets, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee that the
Option shall be exercisable for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of
such notice, and the Option will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

15. TIME OF GRANTING OPTIONS. The date of grant of an Option shall, for
all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination
granting such Option or such other date as is determined by the Administrator.
Notice of the determination shall be given to each Employee or Consultant to
whom an Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such
grant.

16. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

(a) AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board may amend or terminate the
Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem advisable;
provided that, the following revisions or amendments shall require approval of
the shareholders of the Company in the manner described in Section 20 of the
Plan:

(i) any increase in the number of Shares subject to the Plan,
other than in connection with an adjustment under Section 14 of the
Plan;

(ii) any change in the designation of the class of persons
eligible to be granted Options;

(iii) any change in the limitation on grants to employees as
described in Section 8 of the Plan or other changes which would
require shareholder approval
to qualify options granted hereunder as performance-based compensation
under Section 162(m) of the Code; or

(iv) if the Company has a class of equity securities registered
under Section 12 of the Exchange Act at the time of such revision or
amendment, any material increase in the benefits accruing to
participants under the Plan.

(b) EFFECT OF AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. Any such amendment or
termination of the Plan shall not affect Options already granted and such
Options shall remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not been
amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and
the Board, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the
Company.

17. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES. Shares shall not be issued
pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the
issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all
relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may
then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the
Company with respect to such compliance. As a condition to the exercise of an
Option, the Company may require the person exercising such Option to represent
and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased
only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such
Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is
required by any of the aforementioned relevant provisions of law.

18. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company, during the term of this Plan,
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. The inability of the
Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which
authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful
issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any
liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which
such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

19. OPTION AGREEMENT. Options shall be evidenced by written option
agreements in such forms as the Board shall approve.

20. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. Continuance of the Plan shall be subject to
approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or
after the date the Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained
in the manner and to the degree required under applicable federal and state law
and the rules of any stock exchange and, in particular, shall be solicited
substantially in accordance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder.

21. INFORMATION TO OPTIONEES. The Company shall provide to each
Optionee, during the period for which such Optionee has one or more Options
outstanding, copies of all annual reports and other information which are
provided to all shareholders of the Company.

1. GRANT OF OPTION. The Plan Administrator of the Company hereby grants

Agreement (the "Optionee"), an option (the "Option") to purchase a number of
Shares as set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per share set
forth in the Notice of Grant (the "Exercise Price"), subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event
of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and
conditions of this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall
prevail.

If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option,
this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under
Section 422 of the Code.

2. EXERCISE OF OPTION.

(a) RIGHT TO EXERCISE. This Option is exercisable during its term,
in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Grant and the
applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. In the event of
Optionee's death, Disability or other termination of Optionee's employment or
consulting relationship, the exercisability of the Option is governed by the
applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

(b) METHOD OF EXERCISE. This Option is exercisable by delivery of an
exercise notice, in the form attached as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice"),
which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in
respect of which the Option is being exercised (the "Exercised Shares"), and
such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Exercise Notice shall be signed by
the Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to the
Secretary of the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares. This Option shall
be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed
Exercise Notice accompanied by such aggregate Exercise Price.

No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option
unless such issuance and exercise complies with all relevant provisions of law
and the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation service upon which the
Shares are then listed. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes, the
Exercised Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date the
Option is exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares.

3. METHOD OF PAYMENT. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be
by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the
Optionee:

(a) cash; or

(b) check; or

(c) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice, together with
such other documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if applicable,
shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of
the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price; or

(d) surrender of other Shares which (i) in the case of Shares
acquired upon exercise of an option, have been owned by the Optionee for more
than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market Value
on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised
Shares.

4. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. This Option may not be transferred in
any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and
may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by the Optionee. The
terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors,
administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

5. TERM OF OPTION. This Option may be exercised only within the term set
out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in
accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.

6. TAX CONSEQUENCES. Some of the federal and state tax consequences
relation to this Option, as of the date of this Option, are set forth below.
THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE
SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING
THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

(a) EXERCISING THE OPTION.

(i) NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION ("NSO"). If this Option does
not qualify as an ISO, the Optionee may incur regular federal income tax and
state income tax liability upon exercise. The Optionee will be treated as
having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal
to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Exercised Shares on the
date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price. If the Optionee is an
employee, the Company will be required to withhold from his or her compensation
or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount
equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise.

(ii) INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION ("ISO)". If this Option qualifies
as an ISO, the Optionee will have no regular federal income tax or state income
tax liability upon its exercise, although the excess, if any, of the fair market
value of the Exercised Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate
Exercise Price will be treated as an adjustment to the alternative minimum tax
for federal tax purposes and may subject the Optionee to alternative minimum tax
in the year of exercise.

(b) DISPOSITION OF SHARES.

(i) NSO. If the Optionee holds NSO Shares for at least one
year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as
long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes.

(ii) ISO. If the Optionee holds ISO Shares for at least one
year after exercise AND two years after the grant date, any gain realized on
disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal
income tax purposes. If the Optionee disposes of ISO Shares within one year
after exercise or two years after the grant date, any gain realized on such
disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income
rates) to the extent of the excess, if any, of the LESSER OF (A) the difference
between the FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE SHARES ACQUIRED ON THE DATE OF EXERCISE and
the aggregate Exercise Price, or (B) the difference between the SALE PRICE of
such Shares and the aggregate Exercise Price.

(c) NOTICE OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION OF ISO SHARES. If the
Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to
an ISO on or before the later of (i) two years after the grant date, or (ii) one
year after the exercise date, the Optionee shall immediately notify the Company
in writing of such disposition. The Optionee agrees that he or she may be
subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income
recognized from such early disposition of ISO Shares by payment in cash or out
of the current earnings paid to the Optionee.

By your signature and the signature of the Company's representative below,
you and the Company agree that this Option is granted under and governed by the
terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. Optionee has
reviewed the Plan and this Option Agreement in their entirety, has had an
opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Option
Agreement and fully understands all provisions of the Plan and Option Agreement.
Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions
or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions relating to the Plan
and Option Agreement.

vesting (whether vesting is based on a period of time during which employment
must continue or on attainment of specified performance conditions).

         (b) AMOUNT OF AWARDS. Each Agreement shall set forth the number of
Shares of Restricted Stock, Stock or Performance Shares subject to such
Agreement, or the number of Shares to which the

                                       5
<PAGE>

Option applies or with respect to which payment upon the exercise of the Stock
Appreciation Right is to be determined, as the case may be, as determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion.

         (c) TERM. Each Agreement, other than those relating solely to Awards of
Stock without restrictions, shall set forth the Term of the Award and any
applicable Performance Period for Performance Shares, as the case may be, but in
no event shall the Term of an Award (other than Awards granted in lieu of cash
compensation) or the Performance Period be longer than ten years after the date
of grant. An Agreement with a Participant may permit acceleration of vesting and
of the expiration of the applicable Term upon such terms and conditions as shall
be set forth in the Agreement, which may, but need not, include, without
limitation, acceleration resulting from the occurrence of a Change in Control, a
Fundamental Change, or the Participant's death, Disability or Retirement.
Acceleration of the Performance Period of Performance Shares shall be subject to
Section 9(b) hereof.

         (d) AGREEMENTS. Each Award under this Plan shall be evidenced by an
Agreement setting forth the terms and conditions, as determined by the
Committee, which shall apply to such Award in addition to the terms and
conditions specified in this Plan. All provisions of the Plan which by their
terms apply to an Award shall apply regardless of whether such terms are
expressly set forth in the Award Agreement, except to the extent that the
Agreement for that Award expressly provides otherwise.

         (e) TRANSFERABILITY. During the lifetime of a Participant to whom an
Award is granted, only such Participant (or such Participant's legal
representative or, if so provided in the applicable Agreement in the case of a
Non-Qualified Stock Option, a permitted transferee as hereafter described) may
exercise an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or receive payment with respect
to Performance Shares or any other Award. No Award of Restricted Stock (prior to
the expiration of the restrictions), Options, Stock Appreciation Rights,
Performance Shares or other Award (other than an award of Stock without
restrictions) may be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged, or otherwise
encumbered, and any attempt to do so shall be of no effect. Notwithstanding the
immediately preceding sentence, (i) an Award shall be transferable to a
Successor in the event of a Participant's legal incompetency or death and (ii)
an Agreement may provide that a Non-Qualified Stock Option shall be transferable
to any member of a Participant's "immediate family" (as such term is defined in
Rule 16a-1(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or any successor rule or
regulation) or to one or more trusts whose beneficiaries are members of such
Participant's "immediate family" or partnerships in which such family members
are the only partners; provided, however, that (1) the Participant receives no
consideration for the transfer and (2) such transferred Non-Qualified Stock
Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were
applicable to such Non-Qualified Stock Option immediately prior to its transfer.

         (f) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Except as otherwise determined by the
Committee or provided by the Committee in an applicable Agreement, in case of
termination of employment, the following provisions shall apply:

             (1) OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

                 (i) DEATH. If a Participant who has been granted an Option or
Stock Appreciation Rights shall die before such Option or Stock Appreciation
Rights have expired, the Option or Stock Appreciation Rights shall become
exercisable in full, and may be exercised by the Participant's Successor at any
time, or from time to time, within three years after the date of the
Participant's death, in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right
granted before April 30, 2000 and within five years after the date of the
Participant's death in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted
on or after April 30, 2000.

                 (ii) DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT. If a Participant's employment
terminates because of Disability or Retirement, the Option or Stock Appreciation
Rights shall become exercisable in full, and the Participant may exercise his or
her Options or Stock Appreciation Rights at any time, or from time to time,
within three years after the date of such termination, in the case of an Option
or Stock Appreciation Right granted before April 30, 2000, and within five years
after the date of such termination in the case of an Option or Stock
Appreciation Right granted on or after April 30, 2000.

                                       6
<PAGE>

                 (iii) REASONS OTHER THAN DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT. If a
Participant's employment terminates for any reason other than death, Disability
or Retirement, the unvested or unexercised portion of any Award held by such
Participant shall terminate (a) on the date of termination of employment for
Awards granted before April 30, 2000, and (b) at the close of business on the
date 30 days after the date of termination of employment for Awards granted on
or after April 30, 2000, provided, however, that no further vesting shall occur
after the date of termination of employment.

                 (iv) EXPIRATION OF TERM. Notwithstanding the foregoing
paragraphs (i)-(iii), in no event shall an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right
be exercisable after expiration of the Term of such Award.

             (2) PERFORMANCE SHARES. If a Participant's employment with the
Company or any of its Affiliates terminates during a Performance Period because
of death, Disability or Retirement, or under other circumstances provided by the
Committee in its discretion in the applicable Agreement, the Participant shall
be entitled to a payment of Performance Shares at the end of the Performance
Period based upon the extent to which achievement of performance targets was
satisfied at the end of such period (as determined at the end of the Performance
Period) and prorated for the portion of the Performance Period during which the
Participant was employed by the Company or any Affiliate. Except as provided in
this Section 6(f)(2) or in the applicable Agreement, if a Participant's
employment terminates with the Company or any of its Affiliates during a
Performance Period, then such Participant shall not be entitled to any payment
with respect to that Performance Period.

             (3) RESTRICTED STOCK. In case of a Participant's death, Disability
or Retirement, the Participant shall be entitled to receive that number of
shares of Restricted Stock under outstanding Awards which has been pro rated for
the portion of the Term of the Awards during which the Participant was employed
by the Company or any Affiliate, and with respect to such Shares all
restrictions shall lapse. Upon termination of employment for any reason other
than death, Disability or Retirement, any shares of Restricted Stock whose
restrictions have not lapsed will automatically be forfeited in full and
cancelled by the Company upon such termination of employment.

         (g) RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER. A Participant shall have no rights as a
shareholder with respect to any securities covered by an Award until the date
the Participant becomes the holder of record.

         7. STOCK OPTIONS.

         (a) TERMS AND EXERCISABILITY OF ALL OPTIONS. Each Option shall be
granted pursuant to an Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a
Non-Qualified Stock Option. Only Non-Qualified Stock Options may be granted to
Employees who are not regular employees of the Company or an Affiliate. The
purchase price of each Share subject to an Option shall be determined by the
Committee and set forth in the Agreement, but shall not be less than 100% of the
Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted. The Agreement
shall specify a vesting schedule under which the Option becomes available to
exercise. Only the vested portion of an Option may be exercised. When exercising
an Option, the purchase price of the Shares shall be paid in full at the time of
exercise, provided that, to the extent permitted by law, Participants may
simultaneously exercise Options and sell the Shares thereby acquired pursuant to
a brokerage or similar relationship and use the proceeds from such sale to pay
the purchase price of such Shares. The purchase price may be paid in cash, or by
delivery of cash proceeds of such a simultaneous exercise and sale or by
delivery to the Company, physically or by attestation, of Shares already owned
by such Participant, provided that any such Shares not acquired on the open
market shall have been owned for at least 6 months (with such Shares having a
total fair market value as of the date the Option is exercised equal to the
total exercise cost of the Shares being purchased pursuant to the Option), or a
combination thereof, unless otherwise provided in the Agreement. Each Option
shall be exercisable in whole or in part on the terms provided in the Agreement.
In no event shall any Option be exercisable at any time after its Term. When an
Option is no longer exercisable, it shall be deemed to have lapsed or
terminated.

         (b) INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. In addition to the other terms and
conditions applicable to all Options:

                                       7
<PAGE>

             (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date the
Option is granted) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options
held by an individual first become exercisable in any calendar year (under this
Plan and all other incentive stock option plans of the Company and its
Affiliates) shall not exceed $100,000 (or such other limit as may be required by
the Code), if such limitation is necessary to qualify the Option as an Incentive
Stock Option, and to the extent an Option or Options granted to a Participant
exceed such limit, such Option or Options shall be treated as a Non-Qualified
Stock Option;

             (ii) an Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercisable and the
Term of the Award shall not be more than ten years after the date of grant (or
such other limit as may be required by the Code) if such limitation is necessary
to qualify the Option as an Incentive Stock Option;

             (iii) the Agreement covering an Incentive Stock Option shall
contain such other terms and provisions which the Committee determines necessary
to qualify such Option as an Incentive Stock Option; and

             (iv) notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the
contrary, no Participant may receive an Incentive Stock Option under this Plan
if, at the time the Award is granted, the Participant owns (after application of
the rules contained in Section 424(d) of the Code, or its successor provision)
Shares possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock of the Company or its subsidiaries, unless (A) the option
price for such Incentive Stock Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value
of the Shares subject to such Incentive Stock Option on the date of grant and
(B) such Option is not exercisable after the date five years from the date such
Incentive Stock Option is granted.

         8. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. An Award of a Stock Appreciation Right
shall entitle the Participant, subject to terms and conditions determined by the
Committee, to receive upon exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right all or a
portion of the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of a specified number of
Shares on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right over (ii) a
specified price which shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of
such Shares on the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right. A Stock
Appreciation Right may be granted in connection with a previously or
contemporaneously granted Option, or independent of any Option. If issued in
connection with an Option, the Committee may impose a condition that exercise of
a Stock Appreciation Right cancels the Option with which it is connected and
exercise of the connected Option cancels the Stock Appreciation Right. Each
Stock Appreciation Right may be exercisable in whole or in part on the terms
provided in the Agreement. No Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable at
any time after its Term. When a Stock Appreciation Right is no longer
exercisable, it shall be deemed to have lapsed or terminated. Except as
otherwise provided in the applicable Agreement, upon exercise of a Stock
Appreciation Right, payment to the Participant (or to his or her Successor)
shall be made in the form of cash, Stock or a combination of cash and Stock as
promptly as practicable after such exercise. The Agreement may provide for a
limitation upon the amount or percentage of the total appreciation on which
payment (whether in cash and/or Stock) may be made in the event of the exercise
of a Stock Appreciation Right.

         9. PERFORMANCE SHARES.

         (a) INITIAL AWARD. An Award of Performance Shares shall entitle a
Participant (or a Successor) to future payments based upon the achievement of
performance targets established in writing by the Committee. Payment shall be
made in Stock, or a combination of cash and Stock, as determined by the
Committee, provided that at least 25% of the value of the vested Performance
Shares shall be distributed in the form of Stock. With respect to those
Participants who are "covered employees" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of
the Code and the regulations thereunder, such performance targets shall consist
of one or any combination of two or more of revenue, revenue per employee,
earnings before income tax (profit before taxes), earnings before interest and
income tax, net earnings (profits after tax), earnings per employee, tangible,
controllable or total asset turnover, earnings per share, operating income,
total shareholder return, market share, return on equity, before- or after-tax
return on net assets, distribution expense, inventory turnover, or economic
value added (economic profit), and any such targets may relate to one or any
combination of two or more of corporate, group, unit, division, Affiliate or

                                       8
<PAGE>

individual performance. The Agreement may establish that a portion of the
maximum amount of a Participant's Award will be paid for performance which
exceeds the minimum target but falls below the maximum target applicable to such
Award. The Agreement shall also provide for the timing of such payment. The
Committee shall determine the extent to which (i) performance targets have been
attained, (ii) any other terms and conditions with respect to an Award relating
to such Performance Period have been satisfied, and (iii) payment is due with
respect to a Performance Share Award.

         (b) ACCELERATION AND ADJUSTMENT. The Agreement may permit an
acceleration of the Performance Period and an adjustment of performance targets
and payments with respect to some or all of the Performance Shares awarded to a
Participant, upon such terms and conditions as shall be set forth in the
Agreement, upon the occurrence of certain events, which may, but need not,
include without limitation a Change in Control, a Fundamental Change, the
Participant's death, Disability or Retirement, a change in accounting practices
of the Company or its Affiliates, or, with respect to payments in Stock for
Performance Share Awards, a reclassification, stock dividend, stock split or
stock combination as provided in Section 14(f) hereof.

         (c) VALUATION. Each Performance Share earned after conclusion of a
Performance Period shall have a value equal to the average of the Fair Market
Values of a Share for the 20 consecutive business days ending on and including
the last day of such Performance Period.

         10. RESTRICTED STOCK. Restricted Stock may be granted in the form of
Shares registered in the name of the Participant but held by the Company until
the end of the Term of the Award. Any employment conditions, performance
conditions and the Term of the Award shall be established by the Committee in
its discretion and included in the applicable Agreement. The Committee may
provide in the applicable Agreement for the lapse or waiver of any such
restriction or condition based on such factors or criteria as the Committee, in
its sole discretion, may determine. No Award of Restricted Stock may vest
earlier than one year from the date of grant, except as provided in the
applicable Agreement.

         11. OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS. The Committee may from time to time grant
Awards of Stock, and other Awards under this Plan (collectively herein defined
as "Other Stock-Based Awards"), including without limitation those Awards
pursuant to which Shares may be acquired in the future, such as Awards
denominated in Stock units, securities convertible into Stock and phantom
securities. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the terms and
conditions of such Awards provided that such Awards shall not be inconsistent
with the terms and purposes of this Plan. The Committee may, in its sole
discretion, direct the Company to issue Shares subject to restrictive legends
and/or stop transfer instructions which are consistent with the terms and
conditions of the Award to which such Shares relate.

         12. PRIOR AUTOMATIC GRANTS TO NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS. The provisions of
Section 12 of the Plan as in effect prior to April 30, 2000 shall be applicable
to automatic grants of Non-Qualified Stock Options (and related Limited Rights)
made prior to March 5, 1998 to Non-Employee Directors.

         13. PRIOR ELECTIVE GRANTS TO NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS. The provisions of
Section 13 of the Plan as in effect prior to April 30, 2000 shall be applicable
to grants of Restricted Stock made prior to March 5, 1998 to Non-Employee
Directors pursuant to their elections to receive such grants in lieu of all or a
portion of their annual fees for their services as Non-Employee Directors.

         14. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

         (a) EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS PLAN. This Plan shall become effective as of
April 29, 1994, provided that this Plan is approved and ratified by the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares of Stock
present or represented and entitled to vote in person or by proxy at a meeting
of the shareholders of the Company no later than August 31, 1994. This Plan, as
amended and restated, is effective as of April 30, 2000.

         (b) DURATION OF THIS PLAN. This Plan shall remain in effect until all
Stock subject to it shall be distributed or all Awards have expired or lapsed,
whichever is latest to occur, or this Plan is terminated pursuant to Section
14(e) hereof. No Award of an Incentive Stock Option shall be made more than ten
years after the effective date provided in the second sentence of Section 14(a)
hereof (or such other limit

                                       9
<PAGE>

as may be required by the Code) if such limitation is necessary to qualify the
Option as an Incentive Stock Option. The date and time of approval by the
Committee of the granting of an Award shall be considered the date and time at
which such Award is made or granted, notwithstanding the date of any Agreement
with respect to such Award; provided, however, that the Committee may grant
Awards other than Incentive Stock Options to be effective and deemed to be
granted on the occurrence of certain specified contingencies.

         (c) RIGHT TO TERMINATE EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in this Plan or in any
Agreement shall confer upon any Participant who is an Employee the right to
continue in the employment of the Company or any Affiliate or affect any right
which the Company or any Affiliate may have to terminate or modify the
employment of the Participant with or without cause.

         (d) TAX WITHHOLDING. The Company may withhold from any payment of cash
or Stock to a Participant or other person under this Plan an amount sufficient
to cover any required withholding taxes, including the Participant's social
security and medicare taxes (FICA) and federal, state and local income tax with
respect to income arising from payment of the Award. The Company shall have the
right to require the payment of any such taxes before issuing any Stock pursuant
to the Award. In lieu of all or any part of a cash payment from a person
receiving Stock under this Plan, the individual may elect to cover all or any
part of the minimum statutory FICA, federal, state and local income tax
withholdings required under the applicable tax laws through a reduction of the
number of Shares delivered to such individual, with such Shares valued in the
same manner as used in computing such minimum withholding taxes.

         (e) AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION OF THIS PLAN. Except as
provided in this Section 14(e), the Board may at any time amend, modify,
terminate or suspend this Plan. Except as provided in this Section 14(e), the
Committee may at any time alter or amend any or all Agreements under this Plan
to the extent permitted by law. Plan amendments are subject to approval of the
shareholders of the Company only if such approval is necessary to maintain this
Plan in compliance with the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 16b-3, Section 422
of the Code, their successor provisions, or any other applicable law or
regulation. No termination, suspension or modification of this Plan may
materially and adversely affect any right acquired by any Participant (or a
Participant's legal representative) or any Successor under an Award granted
before the date of termination, suspension or modification, unless otherwise
agreed by the Participant in the Agreement or otherwise or required as a matter
of law. It is conclusively presumed that any adjustment for changes in
capitalization provided for in Section 9(b) or 14(f) hereof does not adversely
affect any right of a Participant under an Award.

         (f) ADJUSTMENT FOR CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. Appropriate adjustments
in the aggregate number and type of Shares available for Awards under this Plan,
in the limitations on the number and type of Shares that may be issued to an
individual Participant, in the number and type of Shares and amount of cash
subject to Awards then outstanding, in the Option exercise price as to any
outstanding Options and, subject to Section 9(b) hereof, in outstanding
Performance Shares and payments with respect to outstanding Performance Shares
may be made by the Committee in its sole discretion to give effect to
adjustments made in the number or type of Shares through a Fundamental Change
(subject to Section 14(g) hereof), recapitalization, reclassification, stock
dividend, stock split, stock combination, or other relevant change, provided
that fractional Shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole Share.

         (g) FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE. In the event of a proposed Fundamental Change:
(a) involving a merger, consolidation or statutory share exchange, unless
appropriate provision shall be made (which the Committee may, but shall not be
obligated to, make) for the protection of the outstanding Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights by the substitution of options, stock appreciation rights
and appropriate voting common stock of the corporation surviving any such merger
or consolidation or, if appropriate, the parent corporation of the Company or
such surviving corporation, to be issuable upon the exercise of options or used
to calculate payments upon the exercise of stock appreciation rights in lieu of
Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and capital stock of the Company, or (b)
involving the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Committee may, but
shall not be obligated to, declare, at least twenty days prior to the occurrence
of the Fundamental Change, and provide written notice to each holder of an
Option or Stock Appreciation Right of the declaration, that each outstanding
Option and Stock Appreciation Right, whether or not then exercisable, shall be
cancelled at the time of, or immediately prior to the occurrence of, the

                                       10
<PAGE>

Fundamental Change in exchange for payment to each holder of an Option or Stock
Appreciation Right, within 20 days after the Fundamental Change, of cash equal
to (i) for each Share covered by the cancelled Option, the amount, if any, by
which the Fair Market Value (as defined in this Section 14(g)) per Share exceeds
the exercise price per Share covered by such Option or (ii) for each Stock
Appreciation Right, the price determined pursuant to Section 8 hereof, except
that Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the date of exercise of the Stock
Appreciation Right, as used in clause (i) of Section 8, shall be deemed to mean
Fair Market Value for each Share with respect to which the Stock Appreciation
Right is calculated determined in the manner hereinafter referred to in this
Section 14(g). At the time of the declaration provided for in the immediately
preceding sentence, each Stock Appreciation Right and each Option shall
immediately become exercisable in full and each person holding an Option or a
Stock Appreciation Right shall have the right, during the period preceding the
time of cancellation of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, to exercise the
Option as to all or any part of the Shares covered thereby or the Stock
Appreciation Right in whole or in part, as the case may be. In the event of a
declaration pursuant to this Section 14(g), each outstanding Option and Stock
Appreciation Right that shall not have been exercised prior to the Fundamental
Change shall be cancelled at the time of, or immediately prior to, the
Fundamental Change, as provided in the declaration. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no person holding an Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be
entitled to the payment provided for in this Section 14(g) if such Option or
Stock Appreciation Right shall have expired or terminated. For purposes of this
Section 14(g) only, "Fair Market Value" per Share means the cash plus the fair
market value, as determined in good faith by the Committee, of the non-cash
consideration to be received per Share by the shareholders of the Company upon
the occurrence of the Fundamental Change, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary provided in this Plan.

         (h) OTHER BENEFIT AND COMPENSATION PROGRAMS. Payments and other
benefits received by a Participant under an Award shall not be deemed a part of
a Participant's regular, recurring compensation for purposes of any termination,
indemnity or severance pay laws and shall not be included in, nor have any
effect on, the determination of benefits under any other employee benefit plan,
contract or similar arrangement provided by the Company or an Affiliate, unless
expressly so provided by such other plan, contract or arrangement or the
Committee determines that an Award or portion of an Award should be included to
reflect competitive compensation practices or to recognize that an Award has
been made in lieu of a portion of competitive cash compensation.

         (i) BENEFICIARY UPON PARTICIPANT'S DEATH. A Participant may designate a
beneficiary to succeed to the Participant's Awards under the Plan in the event
of the Participant's death by filing a beneficiary form with the Company and,
upon the death of the Participant, such beneficiary shall succeed to the rights
of the Participant to the extent permitted by law and the terms of this Plan and
the applicable Agreement. In the absence of a validly designated beneficiary who
is living at the time of the Participant's death, the Participant's executor or
administrator of the Participant's estate shall succeed to the Awards, which
shall be transferable by will or pursuant to laws of descent and distribution.

         (j) FORFEITURES. In the event an Employee has received or been entitled
to payment of cash, delivery of Stock or a combination thereof pursuant to an
Award within the period beginning six months prior to the Employee's termination
of employment with the Company and its Affiliates and ending when the Award
terminates or is cancelled, the Company, in its sole discretion, may require the
Employee to return or forfeit the cash and/or Stock received with respect to the
Award (or its economic value as of (i) the date of the exercise of Options or
Stock Appreciation Rights, (ii) the date of, and immediately following, the
lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock or the receipt of Stock without
restrictions, or (iii) the date on which the right of the Employee to payment
with respect to Performance Shares vests, as the case may be) in the event of
any of the following occurrences: performing services for or on behalf of a
competitor of, or otherwise competing with, the Company or any Affiliate,
unauthorized disclosure of material proprietary information of the Company or
any Affiliate, a violation of applicable business ethics policies or business
policies of the Company or any Affiliate, or any other occurrence specified in
the related Agreement. The Company's right to require forfeiture must be
exercised not later than 90 days after discovery of such an occurrence but in no
event later than 15 months after the Employee's termination of employment with
the Company and its Affiliates. Such right shall be deemed to be exercised upon
the Company's mailing written notice to the Employee of such exercise, at the
Employee's most recent home address as shown on the personnel records of the
Company. In addition to requiring forfeiture as described herein, the Company
may exercise its rights under this Section 14(j) by preventing

                                       11
<PAGE>

or terminating the exercise of any Awards or the acquisition of Shares or cash
thereunder. In the event an Employee fails or refuses to forfeit the cash and/or
Shares demanded by the Company (adjusted for any intervening stock splits), the
Employee shall be liable to the Company for damages equal to the number of
Shares demanded times the highest closing price per share of the Stock during
the period between the applicable date specified in (i) through (iii) above and
the date of any judgment or award to the Company, together with all costs and
attorneys' fees incurred by the Company to enforce this provision.

         (k) UNFUNDED PLAN. This Plan shall be unfunded and the Company shall
not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by
Awards under this Plan. Neither the Company, its Affiliates, the Committee, nor
the Board shall be deemed to be a trustee of any amounts to be paid under this
Plan nor shall anything contained in this Plan or any action taken pursuant to
its provisions create or be construed to create a fiduciary relationship between
the Company and/or its Affiliates, and a Participant or Successor. To the extent
any person acquires a right to receive an Award under this Plan, such right
shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the
Company.

         (l) LIMITS OF LIABILITY.

             (i) Any liability of the Company to any Participant with respect to
an Award shall be based solely upon contractual obligations created by this Plan
and the Agreement.

             (ii) Except as may be required by law, neither the Company nor any
member or former member of the Board or of the Committee, nor any other person
participating (including participation pursuant to a delegation of authority
under Section 3(b) hereof) in any determination of any question under this Plan,
or in the interpretation, administration or application of this Plan, shall have
any liability to any party for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith
under this Plan.

         (m) COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. No certificate for
Shares distributable pursuant to this Plan shall be issued and delivered unless
the issuance of such certificate complies with all applicable legal requirements
including, without limitation, compliance with the provisions of applicable
state securities laws, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and in effect from
time to time or any successor statute, the Exchange Act and the requirements of
the exchanges on which the Company's Shares may, at the time, be listed.

         (n) DEFERRALS AND SETTLEMENTS. The Committee may require or permit
Participants to elect to defer the issuance of Shares or the settlement of
Awards in cash under such rules and procedures as it may establish under this
Plan. It may also provide that deferred settlements include the payment or
crediting of interest on the deferral amounts. Participants who are eligible to
participate in the Medtronic, Inc. Capital Accumulation Plan Deferral Program
("CAP") shall be entitled to defer some or all of the cash portion of any
