      2.1 The SELLER hereby represents and warrants that:

                                  Page 1 of 10
<PAGE>

            (a)   SELLER has title in and to the Warrants  free and clear of all
                  liens,  security interests,  pledges,  encumbrances,  charges,
                  restrictions,  demands  and  claims,  of any kind  and  nature
                  whatsoever.

            (b)   SELLER  shall  transfer  title,  in and to  the  Warrants,  to
                  PURCHASER  free and clear of all  liens,  security  interests,
                  pledges,  encumbrances,  charges,  restrictions,  demands  and
                  claims, of any kind and nature  whatsoever,  whether direct or
                  indirect or contingent.

            (c)   SELLER has the full right,  power and  authority to enter into
                  this Agreement and to carry out and consummate the transaction
                  contemplated  herein.  This Agreement  constitutes  the legal,
                  valid and binding obligation of SELLER.

      2.2. The PURCHASER hereby represents and warrants that:

            (a)   The PURCHASER has the full right, power and authority to enter
                  into  this  Agreement  and to  carry  out and  consummate  the
                  transaction  contemplated  herein. This Agreement  constitutes
                  the legal, valid and binding obligation of PURCHASER.

            (b)   The  PURCHASER  acknowledges  that  investment in the Warrants
                  involves substantial risks and is suitable only for persons of
                  adequate  financial means who can bear the economic risk of an
                  investment in the Warrants for an  indefinite  period of time.
                  PURCHASER further represents that it:

                  (1)   has adequate  means of providing  for its current  needs
                        and  possible  personal  contingencies,  has no need for
                        liquidity in its investment in the Warrants,  is able to
                        bear the substantial  economic risks of an investment in
                        the  Warrants  for an  indefinite  period,  and,  at the
                        present  time,   can  afford  a  complete  loss  of  its
                        investment;

                  (2)   does not have an overall commitment to investments which
                        are not readily marketable that is  disproportionate  to
                        its net worth,  and that its  investment in the Warrants
                        will  not  cause  such  overall   commitment  to  become
                        excessive;

                  (3)   has such knowledge and experience in financial,  tax and
                        business  matters that it is capable of  evaluating  the
                        merits and risks of an investment in the Warrants;

                  (4)   has been given the  opportunity  to ask questions of and
                        to receive  answers from persons acting on Anza's behalf
                        concerning the terms and conditions of this  transaction
                        and also has been  given the  opportunity  to obtain any
                        additional  information  which  SELLER  possesses or can
                        acquire  without  unreasonable  effort or expense.  As a
                        result,   PURCHASER  is   cognizant  of  the   financial
                        condition,  capitalization,  and the operations of Anza,
                        has available full information  concerning their affairs
                        and has been able to  evaluate  the  merits and risks of
                        the investment in the Warrants.

            (c)   If, in the  opinion of counsel  for Anza,  the  PURCHASER  has
                  acted in a manner  inconsistent with the  representations  and
                  warranties in this Securities Purchase  Agreement,  SELLER may
                  refuse to transfer the Warrants until such time as counsel for
                  Anza is of the  opinion  that such  transfer  will not require
                  registration of the Securities  under the Act or qualification
                  of the Securities  under  applicable blue sky law or any other
                  securities law. The PURCHASER understands and agrees that Anza
                  may refuse to  acknowledge  or permit any  disposition  of the
                  Securities that is not in all respects in compliance with this
                  Securities Purchase Agreement and that Anza intends to make an
                  appropriate notation in its records to that effect.

            (d)   If the  PURCHASER is an  individual,  the PURCHASER is over 21
                  years  of  age;  and if  the  PURCHASER  is an  unincorporated
                  association, all of its members are of such age.

      2.3 The PURCHASER further  represents and warrants its understanding  that
the investment in the Warrants is highly speculative,  PURCHASER is able to bear
the economic  risk of such  investment.  PURCHASER is an  "Accredited  Investor"
because PURCHASER either:

            (i)   has a net  worth of at least  $1,000,000  (including  home and
                  personal property), or

            (ii)  had an individual  income of more than $200,000 in each of the
                  two most recent calendar years, and reasonably expects to have
                  an  individual  income in excess of  $200,000  in the  current
                  calendar  year;  or along  with  Purchaser's  spouse had joint
                  income in excess of  $300,000  in each of the two most  recent
                  calendar years, and reasonably  expects to have a joint income
                  in excess of $300,000 in the current calendar year.

      For purposes of this Securities  Purchase  Agreement,  "individual income"
means  "adjusted  gross  income" as reported  for Federal  income tax  purposes,
exclusive  of any  income  attributable  to a spouse or to  property  owned by a
spouse: (i) the amount of any interest income received which is tax-exempt under
Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code"), (ii)
the amount of losses claimed as a limited  partner in a limited  partnership (as
reported on Schedule E of form 1040),  (iii) any deduction claimed for depletion
under  Section 611 et seq. of the Code and (iv) any amount by which  income from
long-term  capital  gains has been reduced in arriving at adjusted  gross income
pursuant to the  provisions of Sections 1202 of the Internal  Revenue Code as it
was in effect prior to enactment of the Tax Reform Act of 1986.

                                  Page 3 of 10

      For purposes of this Securities Purchase Agreement,  "joint income" means,
"adjusted gross income," as reported for Federal income tax purposes,  including
any  income  attributable  to a spouse or to  property  owned by a  spouse,  and
increased  by the  following  amounts:  (i) the  amount of any  interest  income
received which is tax-exempt  under Section 103 of the Internal  Revenue Code of
1986,  as amended (the "Code"),  (ii) the amount of losses  claimed as a limited
partner in a limited partnership (as reported on Schedule E of Form 1040), (iii)
any deduction  claimed for  depletion  under Section 611 et seq. of the Code and
(iv) any amount by which income from long-term capital gains has been reduced in
arriving at adjusted gross income  pursuant to the provisions of Section 1202 of
the  Internal  Revenue  Code as it was in effect  prior to  enactment of the Tax
Reform Act of 1986.

      For the purposes of the Securities Purchase  Agreement,  "net worth" means
(except as  otherwise  specifically  defined) the excess of total assets at fair
market value,  including  home and personal  property,  over total  liabilities,
including mortgages and income taxes on unrealized appreciation of assets.

                                    ARTICLE 3

                  No member

        	(a)  	
                General:
                  The persons who shall be eligible to receive Grants shall be directors,
                  officers, employees or consultants to the Company. The term consultant

                  the
                  Company to render services and is compensated for such services.
                  An
                  Optionee may hold more than one Option. Any issuance of a Grant
                  to an
                  officer or director of the Company subsequent to the first registration
                  of
                  any of the securities of the Company under the Exchange Act shall
                  comply
                  with the requirements of Rule
                  16b-3.

              

      

      

      
        	(b)  	
                Incentive
                  Stock Options:
                  Incentive Stock Options may only be issued to employees of the
                  Company.
                  Incentive Stock Options may be granted to officers or directors,
                  provided
                  they are also employees of the Company. Payment of a director's
                  fee shall
                  not be sufficient to constitute employment by the
                  Company.

      The
        Company shall not grant an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan to any employee
        if such Grant would result in such employee holding the right to exercise
        for
        the first time in any one calendar year, under all Incentive Stock Options
        granted under the Plan or any other plan maintained by the Company, with
        respect
        to shares of Stock having an aggregate fair market value, determined as of
        the
        date of the Option is granted, in excess of $100,000. Should it be determined
        that an Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan exceeds such maximum
        for
        any reason other than a failure in good faith to value the Stock subject
        to such
        option, the excess portion of such option shall be considered a Nonstatutory
        Option. To the extent the employee holds two (2) or more such Options which
        become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing
        limitation on the exercisability of such Option as Incentive Stock Options
        under
        the Federal tax laws shall be applied on the basis of the order in which
        such
        Options are granted. If, for any reason, an entire Option does not qualify
        as an
        Incentive Stock Option by reason of exceeding such maximum, such Option shall
        be
        considered a Nonstatutory Option.

      

      
        	(c)  	
                Nonstatutory
                  Option:
                  The provisions of the foregoing Section 3(b) shall not apply to
                  any Option
                  designated as a "Nonstatutory
                  Option"
                  or which sets forth the intention of the parties that the Option
                  be a
                  Nonstatutory Option.

              

      

      

      
        	(d)  	
                Stock
                  Awards and Restricted Stock Purchase Offers:
                  The provisions of this Section 3 shall not apply to any Stock Award
                  or
                  Restricted Stock Purchase Offer under the
                  Plan.

        	(a)  	
                Authorized
                  Stock:
                  Stock subject to Grants may be either unissued or reacquired
                  Stock.

              

      

      

      
        	(b)  	
                Number
                  of Shares:
                  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5(i) of the Plan,
                  the total
                  number of shares of Stock which may be purchased or granted directly
                  by
                  Options, Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Purchase Offers, or purchased
                  indirectly through exercise of Options granted under the Plan shall
                  not
                  exceed Two Million (2,000,000). If any Grant shall for any reason
                  terminate or expire, any shares allocated thereto but remaining
                  unpurchased upon such expiration or termination shall again be
                  available
                  for Grants with respect thereto under the Plan as though no Grant
                  had
                  previously occurred with respect to such shares. Any shares of
                  Stock
                  issued pursuant to a Grant and repurchased pursuant to the terms
                  thereof
                  shall be available for future Grants as though not previously covered
                  by a
                  Grant.

              

      

      

      
        	(c)  	
                Reservation
                  of Shares:
                  The Company shall reserve and keep available at all times during
                  the term
                  of the Plan such number of shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy
                  the
                  requirements of the Plan. If, after reasonable efforts, which efforts
                  shall not include the registration of the Plan or Grants under
                  the
                  Securities Act, the Company is unable to obtain authority from
                  any
                  applicable regulatory body, which authorization is deemed necessary
                  by
                  legal counsel for the Company for the lawful issuance of shares
                  hereunder,
                  the Company shall be relieved of any liability with respect to
                  its failure
                  to issue and sell the shares for which such requisite authority
                  was so
                  deemed necessary unless and until such authority is
                  obtained.

                  to the
                  exercise of Options or rights under Stock Purchase Agreements will
                  be used

                No
                  Obligation to Exercise:
                  The issuance of a Grant shall impose no obligation upon the Participant
                  to
                  exercise any rights under such
                  Grant.

                Terms

                  agreements between the Company and the respective Optionees, in
                  such form

                  and
                  conditions:

              

      

      

      
        	(a)  	
                Number
                  of Shares:
                  Each Option shall state the number of shares to which it
                  pertains.

                Exercise
                  Price:
                  Each Option shall state the exercise price, which shall be determined
                  as
                  follows:

              

      

      

      
        	(i)  	
                Any
                  Incentive Stock Option granted to a person who at the time the
                  Option is
                  granted owns (or is deemed to own pursuant to Section 424(d) of
                  the Code)

                  Holder") shall have an exercise price of no less than 110% of the
                  Fair
                  Market Value of the Stock as of the date of grant;
                  and

              

      

      

      
        	(ii)  	
                Incentive
                  Stock Options granted to a person who at the time the Option is
                  granted is
                  not a Ten Percent Holder shall have an exercise price of no less

      For
        the
        purposes of this Section 5(b), the Fair Market Value shall be as determined
        by
        the Board in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive and binding;
        provided however, that if there is a public market for such Stock, the Fair
        Market Value per share shall be the average of the bid and asked prices (or
        the
        closing price if such stock is listed on the NASDAQ National Market System
        or
        Small Cap Issue Market) on the date of grant of the Option, or if listed
        on a
        stock exchange, the closing price on such exchange on such date of
        grant.

      

      
        	(c)  	
                Medium
                  and Time of Payment:
                  The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise of
                  the
                  Option and shall be paid in cash or check made payable to the Company.
                  Should the Company's outstanding Stock be registered under Section
                  12(g)
                  of the Exchange Act at the time the Option is exercised, then the
                  exercise
                  price may also be paid as follows:

        	(i)  	
                in
                  shares of Stock held by the Optionee for the requisite period necessary
                  to
                  avoid a charge to the Company's earnings for financial reporting
                  purposes
                  and valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date,
                  or

              

      

      

      
        	(ii)  	
                through
                  a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee
                  shall concurrently provide irrevocable written instructions (a)
                  to a
                  Company designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale
                  of the
                  purchased shares and remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds
                  available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the
                  aggregate
                  exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable
                  Federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to
                  be
                  withheld by the Company by reason of such purchase and (b) to the
                  Company
                  to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to
                  such
                  brokerage firm in order to complete the sale
                  transaction.

              

      

      

      At
        the
        discretion of the Board, exercisable either at the time of Option grant or
        of
        Option exercise, the exercise price may also be paid (i) by Optionee's delivery
        of a promissory note in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and
        permissible under applicable securities rules and bearing interest at a rate
        determined by the Board in its sole discretion, but in no event less than
        the
        minimum rate of interest required to avoid the imputation of compensation
        income
        to the Optionee under the Federal tax laws, or (ii) in such other form of
        consideration permitted by the Nevada corporations law as may be acceptable
        to
        the Board.

      

      
        	(d)  	
                Term
                  and Exercise of Options:
                  Any Option granted to an employee of the Company shall become exercisable
                  over a period of no longer than five (5) years. In no event shall
                  any
                  Option be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from
                  the date
                  it is granted, and no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent
                  Holder shall, by its terms, be exercisable after the expiration
                  of five
                  (5) years from the date of the Option. Unless otherwise specified
                  by the
                  Board or the Committee in the resolution authorizing such Option,
                  the date
                  of grant of an Option shall be deemed to be the date upon which
                  the Board
                  or the Committee authorizes the granting of such Option.
                  

              

      

      

      Each
        Option shall be exercisable to the nearest whole share, in installments or
        otherwise, as the respective Option agreements may provide. During the lifetime
        of an Optionee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and
        shall
        not be assignable or transferable by the Optionee, and no other person shall
        acquire any rights therein. To the extent not exercised, installments (if
        more
        than one) shall accumulate, but shall be exercisable, in whole or in part,
        only
        during the period for exercise as stated in the Option agreement, whether
        or not
        other installments are then exercisable.

      

      
        	(e)  	
                Termination
                  of Status as Employee, Consultant or Director:
                  If
                  Optionee's status as an employee shall terminate for any reason
                  other than
                  Optionee's disability or death, then Optionee (or if the Optionee
                  shall
                  die after such termination, but prior to exercise, Optionee's personal
                  representative or the person entitled to succeed to the Option)
                  shall have
                  the right to exercise the portions of any of Optionee's Incentive
                  Stock
                  Options which were exercisable as of the date of such termination,
                  in
                  whole or in part, within 30 days after such termination (or, in
                  the event
                  of "termination
                  for good cause"
                  as that term is defined in Nevada case law related thereto, or
                  by the
                  terms of the Plan or the Option Agreement or an employment agreement,
                  the
                  Option shall automatically terminate as of the termination of employment
                  as to all shares covered by the Option).

              

      

      

      
        
          
          

        

        
          -5-

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      With
        respect to Nonstatutory Options granted to employees, directors or consultants,
        the Board may specify such period for exercise, not less than 30 days (except
        that in the case of "termination
        for cause"
        or
        removal of a director), the Option shall automatically terminate as of the
        termination of employment or services as to shares covered by the Option,
        following termination of employment or services as the Board deems reasonable
        and appropriate. The Option may be exercised only with respect to installments
        that the Optionee could have exercised at the date of termination of employment
        or services. Nothing contained herein or in any Option granted pursuant hereto
        shall be construed to affect or restrict in any way the right of the Company
        to
        terminate the employment or services of an Optionee with or without
        cause.

      

      
        	(f)  	
                Disability
                  of Optionee:
                  If
                  an Optionee is disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3)
                  of the
                  Code) at the time of termination, the three (3) month period set
                  forth in
                  Section 5(e) shall be a period, as determined by the Board and
                  set forth
                  in the Option, of not less than six months nor more than one year
                  after
                  such termination. 

              

      

      

      
        	(g)  	
                Death
                  of Optionee:
                  If
                  an Optionee dies while employed by, engaged as a consultant to,
                  or serving
                  as a Director of the Company, the portion of such Optionee's Option
                  which
                  was exercisable at the date of death may be exercised, in whole
                  or in
                  part, by the estate of the decedent or by a person succeeding to
                  the right
                  to exercise such Option at any time within (i) a period, as determined
                  by
                  the Board and set forth in the Option, of not less than six (6)
                  months nor
                  more than one (1) year after Optionee's death, which period shall
                  not be
                  more, in the case of a Nonstatutory Option, than the period for
                  exercise
                  following termination of employment or services, or (ii) during
                  the
                  remaining term of the Option, whichever is the lesser. The Option
                  may be
                  so exercised only with respect to installments exercisable at the
                  time of
                  Optionee's death and not previously exercised by the
                  Optionee.

              

      

      

      
        	(h)  	
                Nontransferability
                  of Option:
                  No
                  Option shall be transferable by the Optionee, except by will or
                  by the
                  laws of descent and distribution.

              

      

      

      
        	(i)  	
                Recapitalization:
                  Subject to any required action of shareholders, the number of shares
                  of
                  Stock covered by each outstanding Option, and the exercise price
                  per share
                  thereof set forth in each such Option, shall be proportionately
                  adjusted
                  for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of
                  Stock of
                  the Company resulting from a stock split, stock dividend, combination,
                  subdivision or reclassification of shares, or the payment of a
                  stock
                  dividend, or any other increase or decrease in the number of such
                  shares
                  affected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided,
                  however, the conversion of any convertible securities of the Company
                  shall
                  not be deemed to have been "effected
                  without receipt of consideration"
                  by the Company.

              

      

      

      In
        the
        event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a merger or
        consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a sale
        of all
        or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of the Company
        (collectively, a "Reorganization"),
        unless otherwise provided by the Board, this Option shall terminate immediately
        prior to such date as is determined by the Board, which date shall be no
        later
        than the consummation of such Reorganization. In such event, if the entity
        which
        shall be the surviving entity does not tender to Optionee an offer, for which
        it
        has no obligation to do so, to substitute for any unexercised Option a stock
        option or capital stock of such surviving of such surviving entity, as
        applicable, which on an equitable basis shall provide the Optionee with
        substantially the same economic benefit as such unexercised Option, then
        the
        Board may grant to such Optionee, in its sole and absolute discretion and
        without obligation, the right for a period commencing thirty (30) days prior
        to
        and ending immediately prior to the date determined by the Board pursuant
        hereto
        for termination of the Option or during the remaining term of the Option,
        whichever is the lesser, to exercise any unexpired Option or Options without
        regard to the installment provisions of Paragraph 6(d) of the Plan; provided,
        that any such right granted shall be granted to all Optionees not receiving
        an
        offer to receive substitute options on a consistent basis, and provided further,
        that any such exercise shall be subject to the consummation of such
        Reorganization.

      Subject
        to any required action of shareholders, if the Company shall be the surviving
        entity in any merger or consolidation, each outstanding Option thereafter
        shall
        pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of shares of Stock
        equal to the shares subject to the Option would have been entitled by reason
        of
        such merger or consolidation.

      

      In
        the
        event of a change in the Stock of the Company as presently constituted, which
        is
        limited to a change of all of its authorized shares without par value into
        the
        same number of shares with a par value, the shares resulting from any such
        change shall be deemed to be the Stock within the meaning of the
        Plan.

      

      To
        the
        extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to stock or securities of the
        Company, such adjustments shall be made by the Board, whose determination
        in
        that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly
        provided in this Section 5(i), the Optionee shall have no rights by reason
        of
        any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class or the payment
        of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of
        shares
        of stock of any class, and the number or price of shares of Stock subject
        to any
        Option shall not be affected by, and no adjustment shall be made by reason
        of,
        any dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or sale of assets or
        capital
        stock, or any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class or securities
        convertible into shares of stock of any class.

      

      The
        Grant
        of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or
        power
        of the Company to make any adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations
        or
        changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve,
        or liquidate or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or
        assets.

                  An
                  Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to
                  any shares
                  covered by an Option until the effective date of the issuance of
                  the
                  shares following exercise of such Option by Optionee. No adjustment
                  shall
                  be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash,
                  securities or other property) or distributions or other rights
                  for which
                  the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is
                  issued,
                  except as expressly provided in Section 5(i) hereof.

                Modification,
                  Acceleration, Extension, and Renewal of Options:
                  Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations
                  of the
                  Plan, the Board may modify an Option, or, once an Option is exercisable,
                  accelerate the rate at which it may be exercised, and may extend
                  or renew
                  outstanding Options granted under the Plan or accept the surrender
                  of
                  outstanding Options (to the extent not theretofore exercised) and
                  authorize the granting of new Options in substitution for such
                  Options,
                  provided such action is permissible under Section 422 of the Code
                  and
                  applicable state securities laws. Notwithstanding the provisions
                  of this
                  Section 5(k), however, no modification of an Option shall, without
                  the
                  consent of the Optionee, alter to the Optionee's detriment or impair
                  any
                  rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted under
                  the
                  Plan.

                Exercise
                  Before Exercise Date:
                  At
                  the discretion of the Board, the Option may, but need not, include
                  a
                  provision whereby the Optionee may elect to exercise all or any
                  portion of
                  the Option prior to the stated exercise date of the Option or any
                  installment thereof. Any shares so purchased prior to the stated
                  exercise
                  date shall be subject to repurchase by the Company upon termination
                  of
                  Optionee's employment as contemplated by Section 5(n) hereof prior
                  to the
                  exercise date stated in the Option and such other restrictions
                  and
                  conditions as the Board or Committee may deem
                  advisable.

                Other
                  Provisions:
                  The Option agreements authorized under the Plan shall contain such
                  other
                  provisions, including, without limitation, restrictions upon the
                  exercise
                  of the Options, as the Board or the Committee shall deem advisable.
                  Shares
                  shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option, if the
                  exercise
                  of such Option or the issuance of shares thereunder would violate,
                  in the
                  opinion of legal counsel for the Company, the provisions of any
                  applicable
                  law or the rules or regulations of any applicable governmental
                  or
                  administrative agency or body, such as the Code, the Securities
                  Act, the
                  Exchange Act, applicable state securities laws, Nevada corporation
                  law,
                  and the rules promulgated under the foregoing or the rules and
                  regulations
                  of any exchange upon which the shares of the Company are listed.
                  Without
                  limiting the generality of the foregoing, the exercise of each
                  Option
                  shall be subject to the condition that if at any time the Company
                  shall
                  determine that (i) the satisfaction of withholding tax or other
                  similar
                  liabilities, or (ii) the listing, registration or qualification
                  of any
                  shares covered by such exercise upon any securities exchange or
                  under any
                  state or federal law, or (iii) the consent or approval of any regulatory
                  body, or (iv) the perfection of any exemption from any such withholding,
                  listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval is necessary
                  or
                  desirable in connection with such exercise or the issuance of shares
                  thereunder, then in any such event, such exercise shall not be
                  effective
                  unless such withholding, listing registration, qualification, consent,
                  approval or exemption shall have been effected, obtained or perfected
                  free
                  of any conditions not acceptable to the
                  Company.

                Repurchase
                  Agreement:
                  The Board may, in its discretion, require as a condition to the
                  Grant of
                  an Option hereunder, that an Optionee execute an agreement with
                  the
                  Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Board in its
                  discretion
                  ("Repurchase
                  Agreement"),
                  (i) restricting the Optionee's right to transfer shares purchased
                  under
                  such Option without first offering such shares to the Company or
                  another
                  shareholder of the Company upon the same terms and conditions as
                  provided
                  therein; and (ii) providing that upon termination of Optionee's
                  employment
                  with the Company, for any reason, the Company (or another shareholder
                  of
                  the Company, as provided in the Repurchase Agreement) shall have
                  the right
                  at its discretion (or the discretion of such other shareholders)
                  to
                  purchase and/or redeem all such shares owned by the Optionee on
                  the date
                  of termination of his or her employment at a price equal to: (A)
                  the fair
                  value of such shares as of such date of termination; or (B) if
                  such
                  repurchase right lapses at 20% of the number of shares per year,
                  the
                  original purchase price of such shares, and upon terms of payment
                  permissible under the applicable state securities laws; provided
                  that in
                  the case of Options or Stock Awards granted to officers, directors,
                  consultants or affiliates of the Company, such repurchase provisions

                  under a
                  Stock Award Agreement or Restricted Stock Purchase Offer under

                  forfeiture provisions it is referred to as "Restricted

                  Further, with Board or Committee approval, Stock Awards or Restricted
                  Stock Purchase Offers may be deferred, either in the form of installments
                  or a future lump sum distribution. The Board or Committee may permit
                  selected Participants to elect to defer distributions of Stock
                  Awards or
                  Restricted Stock Purchase Offers in accordance with procedures
                  established

                  Participants, the capability to make further deferrals for distribution
                  after retirement. Any deferred distribution, whether elected by
                  the
                  Participant or specified by the Stock Award Agreement, Restricted
                  Stock
                  Purchase Offers or by the Board or Committee, may require the payment
                  be
                  forfeited in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(c). Dividends
                  or

                  Unless the Stock Award Agreement or Restricted Stock Purchase Offer
                  specifies otherwise, the Board or Committee, as applicable, may
                  cancel any
                  unexpired, unpaid, or deferred Grants at any time if the Participant
                  is

                  Award
                  Agreement or Restricted Stock Purchase Offer, the Plan and with
                  the

        	(i)  	
                A
                  Participant shall not render services for any organization or engage
                  directly or indirectly in any business which, in the judgment of
                  the chief
                  executive officer of the Company or other senior officer designated
                  by the
                  Board or Committee, is or becomes competitive with the Company,
                  or which
                  organization or business, or the rendering of services to such
                  organization or business, is or becomes otherwise prejudicial to
                  or in
                  conflict with the interests of the Company. For Participants whose
                  employment has terminated, the judgment of the chief executive
                  officer
                  shall be based on the Participant's position and responsibilities
                  while
                  employed by the Company, the Participant's post-employment
                  responsibilities and position with the other organization or business,
                  the
                  extent of past, current and potential competition or conflict between
                  the
                  Company and the other organization or business, the effect on the
                  Company's customers, suppliers and competitors and such other
                  considerations as are deemed relevant given the applicable facts
                  and
                  circumstances. A Participant who has retired shall be free, however,
                  to
                  purchase as an investment or otherwise, stock or other securities
                  of such
                  organization or business so long as they are listed upon a recognized
                  securities exchange or traded over-the-counter, and such investment
                  does
                  not represent a substantial investment to the Participant or a
                  greater
                  than ten percent (10%) equity interest in the organization or
                  business.

                  than the

                  or
                  development work of the Company and shall do anything reasonably
                  necessary
                  to enable the Company to secure a patent where appropriate in the

        	(iv)  	
                Upon
                  exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to a Grant, the Participant
                  shall
                  certify on a form acceptable to the Committee that he or she is
                  in
                  compliance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. Failure to
                  comply
                  with all of the provisions of this Section 6(c) prior to, or during
                  the
                  six months after, any exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to
                  a Grant
                  shall cause such exercise, payment or delivery to be rescinded.
                  The
                  Company shall notify the Participant in writing of any such rescission
                  within two years after such exercise, payment or delivery. Within
                  ten days
                  after receiving such a notice from the Company, the Participant
                  shall pay
                  to the Company the amount of any gain realized or payment received
                  as a
                  result of the rescinded exercise, payment or delivery pursuant
                  to a Grant.
                  Such payment shall be made either in cash or by returning to the
                  Company
                  the number of shares of Stock that the Participant received in
                  connection
                  with the rescinded exercise, payment or
                  delivery.

                  6(d)(ii),
                  no Grant or any other benefit under the Plan shall be assignable
                  or
                  transferable, or payable to or exercisable by, anyone other than
                  the
                  Participant to whom it was granted.

                  in its
                  discretion and to the extent permitted by law, may authorize a
                  third party

                  Section
                  6(e), all unexercised, deferred and unpaid Stock Awards or Restricted

                Retirement
                  Under a Company Retirement Plan.
                  When a Participant's employment terminates as a result of retirement
                  in
                  accordance with the terms of a Company retirement plan, the Board
                  or
                  Committee may permit Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Purchase
                  Offers to
                  continue in effect beyond the date of retirement in accordance
                  with the
                  applicable Grant Agreement and the exercisability and vesting of
                  any such
                  Grants may be accelerated.

                Rights
                  in the Best Interests of the Company.
                  When a Participant resigns from the Company and, in the judgment
                  of the
                  Board or Committee, the acceleration and/or continuation of outstanding
                  Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Purchase Offers would be in the
                  best
                  interests of the Company, the Board or Committee may (i) authorize,
                  where
                  appropriate, the acceleration and/or continuation of all or any
                  part of
                  Grants issued prior to such termination and (ii) permit the exercise,
                  vesting and payment of such Grants for such period as may be set
                  forth in
                  the applicable Grant Agreement, subject to earlier cancellation
                  pursuant
                  to Section 9 or at such time as the Board or Committee shall deem
                  the
                  continuation of all or any part of the Participant's Grants are
                  not in the
                  Company's best interest.

                  the event of a Participant's death, the Participant's estate or
                  beneficiaries shall have a period up to the expiration date specified
                  in
                  the Grant Agreement within which to receive or exercise any outstanding
                  Grant held by the Participant under such terms as may be specified
                  in the
                  applicable Grant Agreement. Rights to any such outstanding Grants
                  shall
                  pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution in the following
                  order: (a) to beneficiaries so designated by the Participant; if
                  none,
                  then (b) to a legal representative of the Participant; if none,
                  then (c)
                  to the persons entitled thereto as determined by a court of competent
                  jurisdiction. Grants so passing shall be made at such times and
                  in such
                  manner as if the Participant were
                  living.

              

      

      

      
        	(2)  	
                In
                  the event a Participant is deemed by the Board or Committee to
                  be unable
                  to perform his or her usual duties by reason of mental disorder
                  or medical
                  condition which does not result from facts which would be grounds
                  for
                  termination for cause, Grants and rights to any such Grants may
                  be paid to
                  or exercised by the Participant, if legally competent, or a committee
                  or
                  other legally designated guardian or representative if the Participant
                  is
                  legally incompetent by virtue of such
                  disability.

                  the death or disability of a Participant, the Board or Committee
                  may in
                  its sole discretion at any time (1) terminate restrictions in Grant
                  Agreements; (2) accelerate any or all installments and rights;
                  and (3)
                  instruct the Company to pay the total of any accelerated payments
                  in a
                  lump sum to the Participant, the Participant's estate, beneficiaries
                  or
                  representative; notwithstanding that, in the absence of such termination
                  of restrictions or acceleration of payments, any or all of the
                  payments
                  due under the Grant might ultimately have become payable to other
                  beneficiaries.

                  subject to the Plan are registered under the Securities Act or

                  Stock
                  thereunder shall be for investment purposes and not with a view
                  to, or for

                  issuance and sale of the Stock have been registered under the Securities
                  Act, each Grant shall provide that no shares shall be purchased

                  exercise of the rights under such Grant unless and until (i) all
                  then
                  applicable requirements of state and federal laws and regulatory
                  agencies
                  shall have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the
                  Company and

                  person
                  exercising the rights under the Grant shall (i) give written assurances
                  as
                  to knowledge and experience of such person (or a representative
                  employed
                  by such person) in financial and business matters and the ability
                  of such
                  person (or representative) to evaluate the merits and risks of
                  exercising
                  the Option, and (ii) execute and deliver to the Company a letter

                  a Grant
                  without registration under the Securities Act, subsequent registration
                  of

                  restrictions or representations made upon the exercise of such

                Amendment,

                  insofar as permitted by law, from time to time, with respect to
                  any shares
                  at the time not subject to outstanding Grants, suspend or terminate
                  the
                  Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever, except that
                  without
                  the approval of the shareholders of the Company, no such revision
                  or
                  amendment shall (i) increase the number of shares subject to the

                  (ii) decrease the price at which Grants may be granted, (iii) materially
                  increase the benefits to Participants, or (iv) change the class
                  of persons
                  eligible to receive Grants under the Plan; provided, however, no
                  such
                  action shall alter or impair the rights and obligations under any
                  Option,
                  or Stock Award, or Restricted Stock Purchase Offer outstanding
                  as of the

                  No
                  Grant may be issued while the Plan is suspended or after it is
                  terminated,
                  but the rights and obligations under any Grant issued while the
                  Plan is in
                  effect shall not be impaired by suspension or termination of the
                  Plan.

              

      

      

      In
        the
        event of any change in the outstanding Stock by reason of a stock split,
        stock
        dividend, combination or reclassification of shares, recapitalization, merger,
        or similar event, the Board or the Committee may adjust proportionally (a)
        the
        number of shares of Stock (i) reserved under the Plan, (ii) available for
        Incentive Stock Options and Nonstatutory Options and (iii) covered by
        outstanding Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Purchase Offers; (b) the Stock
        prices related to outstanding Grants; and (c) the appropriate Fair Market
        Value
        and other price determinations for such Grants. In the event of any other
        change
        affecting the Stock or any distribution (other than normal cash dividends)
        to
        holders of Stock, such adjustments as may be deemed equitable by the Board
        or
        the Committee, including adjustments to avoid fractional shares, shall be

                  taxes
                  from any Grant payment and withhold, at the time of delivery or

                  is
                  required to be made.
