     from time to time in force. For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive
     and/or his spouse and dependent children are only entitled to the benefits
     under the Scheme insofar as the policy provides for cover and in any such
     cases as the insurance policy provides for and pays for such cover. In the
     event of the Insurer under the policy refusing any claim made under the
     policy, the Company shall not be liable to meet that claim. This insurance
     is a personal taxable benefit. The Company reserves the right to terminate

     rules of the Scheme from time to time in force. For the avoidance of doubt,
     the Executive is only entitled to the benefits under the Scheme insofar as
     the Scheme provides for and pays for such benefits. In the event of the
     insurer under the Scheme refusing any claim made under the Scheme, the
     Company shall not be liable to meet that claim. The Company reserves the
     right to terminate the Executive's membership of the health insurance
     scheme and provide cover under an alternative scheme, provided the benefits
     under the alternative scheme are no less beneficial than the original cover
     provided at the date of this Agreement.

11.  PENSION

11.1 The Group intends to operate a pension scheme for the benefit of the
     Executive ("the Pension Scheme"). Subject to the terms of the Trust Deed,

                                           7
<PAGE>
     take holidays in lieu of public holidays at such time as the Board may

     of his holiday entitlement to the subsequent year without the Board's
     consent.

12.4 The Board may at its discretion require the Executive to take any accrued
     but untaken holiday during any notice period.

13   SICKNESS AND MEDICAL EXAMINATION

13.1 If the Executive is prevented by sickness, injury, accident or other
     physical incapacity from fully and properly performing his duties under
     this Agreement medical evidence of that sickness, injury or other
     incapacity must be furnished to the Board, (or to such persons as the Board
     may direct). In such circumstances the following shall supply:

     13.1.1 during the first six consecutive months of such incapacity or during
            the first six months of aggregate incapacity during a continuous
            period of twelve months the Executive will be entitled to receive
            the salary and benefits due to him under this Agreement at full
            rate, less any tax and national insurance contributions and
            statutory sick pay and/or any state benefits claimed and received by
            way of state sickness benefits and invalidity benefits. The
            Executive will claim all state sickness benefits available to him
            and account to the Company for those during the period in which he
            receives sick pay;

     13.1.2 any further payment to the Executive of salary or benefits under
            this Agreement will be at the sole discretion of the Board or
            otherwise payable in accordance with the terms of the permanent
            health insurance scheme (if any) available to the Executive.

13.2 The Board may at its discretion require the Executive to furnish evidence
     which is satisfactory to it of the Executive's incapacity, injury, illness
     or other physical incapacity.

13.3 The Executive agrees that any time during the continuance of this Agreement
     he shall

                                      8
<PAGE>
          at the request of the Board undergo a medical examination by a doctor
          of the Board's choice, the cost of which will be borne by the Company.
          The Company reserves the right to suspend sick pay and/or institute
          the disciplinary procedure should the Executive unreasonably refuse to
          undergo such an examination. The Executive may be required to give his
          consent to certain details contained in any medical report prepared,
          being disclosed to a senior member of management of the Company in
          confidence.

     13.4 If the Executive is unable to attend work due to sickness, injury,
          accident, or other physical incapacity, he should notify the Group
          Managing Director on the first day of absence and the likely period
          during which he will be absent. He should keep the Group Managing
          Director regularly informed of his progress and of the period during
          which he is likely to remain away from work and provide the necessary
          medical certificates.

     14   DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURE

     14.1 There are no disciplinary rules on the date of this agreement which
          are specifically applicable to the Executive. The Board may however
          amend and introduce such disciplinary rules as it sees fit. The
          Executive is expected to conduct himself in a suitable manner and to
          exhibit the standard of propriety and behaviour commensurate with his
          position and to obey all staff rules in force from time to time. In
          the event of the Executive committing an act of misconduct the Board
          shall follow such disciplinary procedure and take disciplinary action
          as it sees fit.

     15   GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

     15.1 If the Executive is dissatisfied with any disciplinary action taken
          against him or has any grievance relating to his employment he may
          apply for redress to the Chairman of the Board whose decision shall be
          final and binding, subject to any recourse to law which the Executive
          may have.

          senior position he

      The aggregate number of Shares reserved which may be issued to
Participants pursuant to Sections 4 or 5 of the Plan shall not exceed three
hundred thousand (300,000) Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section

Shares that have been reacquired by the Company. Any Shares subject to issuance
upon exercise of Options, but which are not issued because of a surrender,
lapse, expiration, forfeiture or termination of any such Option prior to
issuance of the Shares shall once again be available for issuance to

4.    Grants of Shares.

      An individual who is a Participant on the day following the Annual meeting

receive on such day and for such Plan Year a grant of a number of Shares,
increased to the nearest whole Share, having an aggregate Fair Market Value
equal to the dollar amount designated by the Board from time to time for
purposes of this Plan as part of the Board remuneration policy of the Company.
An individual who becomes a Participant at any later time during a Plan Year
shall receive a prorated grant of Shares for that Plan Year in which he or she
becomes a Participant. The grant shall be prorated based on the date the
Participant becomes eligible under the Plan through the end of the Plan Year.

5.    Options.

<PAGE>

during a Plan Year, commencing in 2004, shall receive an Option on the terms set
forth in this Section 5.

      (a)   Grant of Options. On the day following each Annual Stockholders'
Meeting, commencing in 2004, each person who is a Participant immediately after
such meeting shall automatically be granted an Option to purchase 2,000 Shares.
All such Options shall be Non-Qualified Stock Options. The price at which each
Share covered by such Options shall be purchased shall be the greater of (i)
100% of the Fair Market Value of the Company's common stock on the date the
Option is granted, or (ii) the par value of the Company's common stock subject
to the Option.

      (b)   Exercise of Options.

            (1)   Except as otherwise provided herein, including, without
      limitation, the vesting provisions set forth below, an Option granted to
      the Participant may be exercised only after six months of continued
      service as a Director of the Company following the date the Option is
      granted, and only during the continuance of the Participant serving on the
      Board and such additional period as is provided for below. The Option may
      be exercised by the Participant or his or her guardian or legal
      representative(s) during the period that the Participant remains a member
      of the Board and with respect to vested Options for a period of three
      years thereafter, subject to the conditions of exercise set forth below in
      subsection 5(c) and, provided further, that in no event shall the Option
      be exercisable more than ten years after the date of grant.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Participant is removed as a
      member for cause (as defined by the Board) all outstanding Options shall
      be forfeited and canceled. Subject to the foregoing, unless determined
      otherwise by the Board, the Options will vest on the earlier of (i)
      twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of Shares subject to an
      Option will vest and become exercisable on the first four anniversary
      dates of the grant, and (ii) as to 50% of the Shares subject to the
      Option, if the fair market value of the Shares is at or above 125% of the
      exercise price on each of at least ten consecutive Trading Days and, as to
      the remaining 50% of the Shares if, at any time at or after the initial
      50% of the Shares becomes exercisable, the fair market value of the Shares
      is at or above 150% of the exercise price on each of at least ten
      consecutive Trading Days.

            (2)   Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the provisions of
      Section 5(d), upon the Participant's service as a Director of the Company
      terminating at any time for any reason, all outstanding Options granted
      within the last six months prior to the Participant's termination shall
      thereupon be forfeited by the Participant and canceled by the Company.

                                       4

      (c)   Exercise of Rights Under Options.

            (1)   Notice of Exercise. A Participant entitled to exercise an
      Option shall do so by delivery of a written notice to that effect
      specifying the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being
      exercised and any other relevant information the Committee may require.
      The notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price
      of any Shares to be purchased, which payment may be made in cash or, with
      the Committee's approval, in Shares held by the Participant for at least
      six months and that are held free and clear of all liens and encumbrances
      valued at Fair Market Value at the time of exercise or a combination
      thereof. No Shares shall be issued upon exercise of an Option until full
      payment has been made therefor. All notices or requests provided for
      herein shall be delivered to the Company's Secretary, or such other person
      as the Committee may designate.

            (2)   Cashless Exercise Procedures. The Company, in its sole
      discretion, may establish procedures whereby a Participant, subject to the
      requirements of Rule 16b-3, Regulation T, federal income tax laws, and
      other federal, state and local tax and securities laws, can exercise an
      Option or a portion thereof without making a direct payment of the
      exercise price to the Company; provided, however, that these cashless
      exercise procedures shall not apply to any Option granted to a Participant
      where the utilization of the cashless exercise procedure would be deemed a
      violation of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act. If the Company so elects
      to establish a cashless exercise program, the Company shall determine, in
      its sole discretion, and from time to time, such administrative procedures
      and policies as it deems appropriate and such procedures and policies
      shall be binding on any Participant wishing to utilize the cashless
      exercise program.

      (d)   Acceleration of Options. In the event of a consolidation or merger
in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or of a Change in Control
including, but not limited to, Changes in Control in which the Company is the
surviving corporation, the Board may, in its discretion terminate each Option
outstanding under the provisions of this Section 5 upon consummation of the
merger, consolidation or Change in Control, provided that prior to the effective
date of any such consolidation, merger, or "Change in Control", the Participant
shall be entitled to exercise any outstanding Options in full without regard to
any vesting limitations.

      (e)   Nontransferability. No Option granted hereunder shall be
transferable other than: (i) by will or the laws of descent and distribution,
and an Option subject to exercise may be exercised, during the lifetime of the
holder of the Option, only by the holder of the Option or in the event of death,
the holder's successor, or in the event of disability, the holder's personal
representative, (ii) as otherwise permitted under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange
Act from time to time and allowed by the Board, or (iii) pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order, as defined in the Code or ERISA or the rules
thereunder.

      (f)   Rights of Holders. The holder of an Option shall not have any rights
as a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to purchase under an Option
except that stockholder rights with respect to any Option shall arise at the
time and to the extent that one or more certificates for such Shares shall be
delivered to the holder upon the due exercise of the Option.

6.    Effect of Certain Changes.

      In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange
of shares, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation,
separation, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation, or similar events,
or in the event of extraordinary cash or non-cash dividends being declared with
respect to the Shares, or other similar transaction having the same effect of
the foregoing, the number and kind of shares available for grant under the Plan
or any Option granted hereunder may be equitably adjusted by the Board, in its
sole discretion, to reflect such event.

7.    No Rights to Continuance as Director.

      Nothing in the Plan or in any grant made pursuant hereto shall confer upon
any Participant the right to continue to serve as a member of the Board or to be
entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in the Plan, provided,
however, that each Participant shall be entitled to fees for meetings attended,
in accordance with the Board remuneration policy of the Company.

8.    Administration.

      The Board shall be invested with the responsibility for the administration
of the Plan; provided, however, the Board may appoint a Committee which shall be
invested with the responsibility for the administration of the Plan. The
Committee shall have the authority to make such interpretations and
constructions of the Plan as are necessary to administer the Plan in accordance
with, and subject to, the Plan's provisions. All determinations of the Committee
shall be made by a majority of its members either present in person or
participating by conference telephone at a meeting or by unanimous written
consent. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Committee
shall be final and binding on all persons, including the Company, the
Participant (or any person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through
any Participant) and any stockholder of the Company.

9.    Taxes.

      (a)   Right to Withhold Required Taxes. The Company shall have the right
to require a person entitled to receive Shares pursuant to the exercise of an
Option under the Plan to pay the Company the amount of any taxes which the
Company is or will be required to withhold with respect to such Shares before
the certificate for such Shares is delivered pursuant to the Option.
Furthermore, the Company may elect to deduct such taxes from any other amounts
then payable in cash or in Shares or from any other amounts payable any time
thereafter to the Participant.

      (b)   Participant Election to Withhold Shares. Subject to Board approval,
a Participant may elect to satisfy his tax liability with respect to the
exercise of an Option by having the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable
upon exercise of the Option; provided, however, that if a Participant is subject
to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, such election must satisfy the
requirements of Rule 16b-3.

                                       6

10.   Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

      The Board at any time and from time to time may suspend, terminate, modify
or amend the Plan, provided, however, no amendment to the Plan or any Option may
be made without stockholder approval that increases the maximum number of Shares
subject to the Plan, decreases the price at which Options may be granted, or
increases or decreases any option price after the date of grant and provided
further, that an amendment which requires stockholder approval in order for the
Plan to comply with any law, regulation or stock exchange requirement shall not
be effective unless approved by the requisite vote of stockholders of the
Company. Except as provided in Section 6 hereof, no suspension, termination,
modification or amendment of the Plan may adversely affect any grant previously
made, unless the written consent of the Participant is obtained.

11.   Governing Law.

      The Plan and the rights of all persons claiming hereunder shall be
construed and determined in accordance with the laws of Illinois without giving
effect to the choice of law principles thereof, except to the extent that such
law is preempted by federal law.

12.   Term.

      The Plan shall take effect upon approval by the stockholders of the
Company, and shall remain in effect until January 20, 2009 or on such earlier
date if suspended or terminated by the Board, as permitted by law.
