breach is in the best interests of the Company and its affiliated companies

result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness) and which is not
remedied in a reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice from the
Company specifying such breach, or

receive compensation or benefits pursuant to an employment contract or other
agreement or arrangement with the Company or any of its Affiliates. A

      In addition, certain other terms have definitions given to them as they

2.    ADMINISTRATION.

      The Plan shall be administered by the Executive Officer Compensation &
Stock Option Committee of the Board or such other committee of the Board,
composed solely of not less than two Non-Employee Directors, each of whom shall
be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Board. If at any time no such
committee(s) shall be in office, the functions of the Committee specified in the
Plan shall be exercised by the Board.

      The Committee shall have all discretionary authority to administer the
Plan and to grant Stock Options pursuant to the terms of the Plan to senior
executives of the Company and any of its Affiliates.

      Among other things, the Committee shall have the discretionary authority,
subject to the terms of the Plan:

      a.    to select the Eligible Persons to whom Stock Options may from time
to time be granted;

      b.    to determine the number of shares of Stock to be covered by each
Stock Option granted hereunder; and

      c.    to determine the terms and conditions of any Stock Option granted
hereunder including, but not limited to, the option price (subject to Section 5a
of the Plan) and any vesting condition, restriction or limitation based on such
factors as the Committee shall determine.

      The Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such
administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall,
from time to time, deem advisable, to interpret the terms and provisions of the
Plan and any Stock Option issued under the Plan (and any agreement relating
thereto) and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.

      The Committee may act only by a majority of its members then in office,
except that the members thereof may authorize any one or more of their number or
any officer of the Company to execute and deliver documents on behalf of the
Committee.

      Any determination made by the Committee or pursuant to delegated authority
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan with respect to any Stock Option shall be
made in the sole discretion of the Committee or such delegate at the time of the
grant of the Stock Option or, unless in contravention of any express term of the
Plan, at any time thereafter. All decisions made by the Committee or any
appropriately delegated officer pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be

                                       3
<PAGE>

final and binding on all persons, including the Company and plan participants,
and shall be given the maximum deference permitted by law.

3.    STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.

      Subject to adjustment as provided herein, the total number of shares of
Stock available for grant under the Plan shall be two million (2,000,000). No
individual shall be eligible to receive Stock Options to purchase more than
100,000 shares of Stock under the Plan. Shares subject to a Stock Option under
the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or may be treasury shares.

      If any Stock Option terminates without being exercised, shares subject to
such Stock Option shall be available for further grants under the Plan.

      In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation,
recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, or extraordinary distribution
with respect to the Stock or other change in corporate structure affecting the
Stock, the Committee or the Board may make such substitution or adjustments in
the number, kind and option price of shares authorized or outstanding as Stock
Options, and/or such other equitable substitution or adjustments as its may
determine to be appropriate in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the
number of shares subject to any Stock Option shall always be a whole number.

4.    ELIGIBILITY.

      Senior executives who are actively employed on a full-time basis by the
Company or any of its Affiliates, and who are responsible for or contribute to
the management, growth and profitability of the business of the Company or any
of Affiliates, are eligible to be granted Stock Options under the Plan
("Eligible Persons").

5.    STOCK OPTIONS.

      Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in the form attached
hereto as Annex "A", which is incorporated herein and made a part of the Plan,
with such changes as the Committee may from time to time approve which are
consistent with the Plan. None of the Stock Options granted under the Plan shall
be "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

      The grant of a Stock Option shall occur on the date the Committee selects
a Senior Executive of the Company or any of its Affiliates to receive any grant
of a Stock Option, determines the number of shares of Stock to be subject to
such Stock Option to be granted to such Senior Executive, and specifies the
terms and provisions of said Stock Option. Such selection shall be evidenced in
the records of the Company whether in the minutes of the meetings of the
Committee or by their consent in writing. The Company shall notify an Optionee
of any grant of a Stock Option, and a written option agreement or agreements
shall be duly executed and delivered by the Company to the Optionee.

      Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following
terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions as
the Committee shall deem desirable:

                                       4
<PAGE>

      a.    Option Price. The option price per share of Stock purchasable under
a Stock Option shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on the grant
date.

      b.    Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be ten (10) years
from its date of grant, unless earlier terminated.

      c.    Exercisability. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Stock
Option shall be exercisable during its term only if such Stock Option has
vested, and only after the first (1st) anniversary of its date of grant.

      d.    Vesting. Each Stock Option shall have assigned to it by the
Committee a vesting price (the "Vesting Price") which will be used to provide
for accelerated vesting so that such Stock Option will vest immediately if, on
or before the close of business on the fourth (4th) anniversary of its date of
grant, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock shall have been equal to or
greater than the Vesting Price with respect to such Stock Option for ten (10)
trading days in any period of thirty (30) consecutive trading days. Any Stock
Option that has not vested on or before the close of business on the fourth
(4th) anniversary of its date of grant shall vest at the close of business on
the business day immediately preceding the eighth (8th) anniversary of its date
of grant, if such Option has not previously terminated.

      e.    Method of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5 of
the Plan, Stock Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, by giving written
notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares of Stock
subject to the Stock Option to be purchased.

      The option price of Stock to be purchased upon exercise of any Option
shall be paid in full:

      (1)   in cash (by certified or bank check or such other instrument as the
Company may accept),

      (2)   in the discretion of the Committee, in the form of unrestricted
Stock already owned by the Optionee for six (6) months or more and based on the
Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the Stock Option is exercised,

      (3)   in any other form approved in the discretion of the Committee, or

      (4)   by any combination thereof.

      In the discretion of the Committee, payment for any shares subject to a
Stock Option may also be made by delivering a properly executed exercise notice
to the Company, together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to
deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the
purchase price, and, if requested, the amount of any federal, state, local or
foreign withholding taxes. To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may enter
into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms.

      No shares of Stock shall be issued until full payment therefor has been
made. The Optionee shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company
holding the Stock that is subject to such Stock Option (including, if
applicable, the right to vote the share and the right to

                                       5
<PAGE>

receive dividends), only when the Optionee has given written notice of exercise,
has paid in full for such shares and, if requested, has given the representation
described in Section 9a of the Plan.

      f.    Non-transferability of Stock Options. No Stock Option shall be
transferable by the Optionee other than:

            (1)   pursuant to a beneficiary designation satisfactory to the
Committee, or

            (2)   by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

            All Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the Optionee's
lifetime, only by the Optionee or by the guardian or legal representative of the
Optionee, it being understood that the terms "holder" and "Optionee" include the
guardian and legal representative of the Optionee named in the option agreement
and any person to whom an option is transferred by will or the laws of descent
and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. The
Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for an Optionee
to designate a beneficiary to whom any amounts payable in the event of the
Optionee's death are to be paid or by whom any rights of the Optionee, after the
Optionee's death, may be exercised.

      g.    Termination by Death, Disability, Retirement or by the Company
Without Cause. If the Optionee's employment terminates by reason of death,
Disability or Retirement, or if such employment is terminated by the Company
without Cause, in each case prior to the vesting of a Stock Option held by the
Optionee, the following provisions shall apply:

            (1)   if termination occurs by death or Disability, or by the
Company without Cause, such Stock Options shall be exercisable only within
ninety (90) days of such termination, and only if such Stock Options are then
vested;

            (2)   if termination occurs by Retirement or other "voluntary quit,"
such Stock Options shall terminate immediately; and

      h.    Termination by the Company for Cause. If the Optionee's employment
is terminated by the Company for Cause prior to the vesting of a Stock Option,
such Stock Options shall terminate immediately.

      i.    Termination After Vesting. If the Optionee's employment is
terminated for any reason after a Stock Option has vested, such Stock Options
shall be exercisable only within ninety (90) days of such termination,

      j.    Change in Control Cash Out. Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control all outstanding Stock
Options shall immediately vest and become fully exercisable, and during the
ninety (90) day period from and after such Change in Control (the "Exercise
Period"), the Optionee shall have the right, in lieu of the payment of the
exercise price for the shares of Stock being purchased under the Stock Option
and by giving notice to the Company, to elect (within the Exercise Period) to
surrender all or part of the Stock Option to the Company and to receive cash,
within ninety (90) days of such notice, in an amount equal to the amount by
which the Change in Control Price per share of Stock on the date of such
election shall exceed the exercise price per share of Stock under the Stock
Option (the "Spread"), multiplied by

                                       6
<PAGE>

the number of shares of Stock granted under the Stock Option as to which the
right granted under this Section 5j of the Plan shall have been exercised.

6.    CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS.

      a.    Impact of Event. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to
the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control, any Stock Options outstanding
as of the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred, and not
then vested and exercisable, shall become vested and exercisable to the full
extent of the original grant, provided that such accelerated vesting shall occur
only if the Optionee is an active full-time employee of the Company or any of
its Affiliates as of such date.

      b.    Definition of Change in Control. For purposes of the Plan, a "Change
in Control" shall mean the happening of any of the following events:

                  (i)   the acquisition (other than by the Company or by an
            employee benefit plan or related trust sponsored or maintained by
            the Company), directly or indirectly, in one or more transactions,
            by any person or by any group of persons, within the meaning of
            Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act of beneficial ownership
            (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) of
            twenty-five percent or more of either the outstanding shares of
            common stock or the combined voting power of the Company's
            outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally, if the
            acquisition was not previously approved by the existing directors;

                  (ii)  the acquisition (other than by the Company or by an
            employee benefit plan or related trust sponsored or maintained by
            the Company), directly or indirectly, in one or more transactions,
            by any such person or by any group of persons of beneficial
            ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) of
            fifty percent or more of either the outstanding shares of common
            stock or the combined voting power of the Company's outstanding
            voting securities entitled to vote generally, whether or not the
            acquisition was approved by the existing directors, other than an
            acquisition that complies with clause (x) and (y) of paragraph
            (iii);

                  (iii) consummation of a reorganization, merger or
            consolidation of the Company or the sale or other disposition of all
            or substantially all of the Company's assets unless, immediately
            following such event, (x) all or substantially all of the
            stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such event own,
            directly or indirectly, seventy-five percent or more of the then
            outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally of the
            resulting corporation (including without limitation, a corporation
            which as a result of such event owns the Company or all or
            substantially all of the Company's assets either directly or through
            one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as
            their ownership of the Company's outstanding voting securities
            entitled to vote generally immediately prior to such event and (y)
            the securities of the surviving or resulting corporation received or
            retained by the stockholders of the Company is publicly traded;

                                       7
<PAGE>

                  (iv)  approval by the stockholders of the complete liquidation
            or dissolution of the Company; or

                  (v)   a greater than one-third change in the composition of
            the Board of Directors within 24 months if not approved by a
            majority of the pre-existing directors.

      c.    Change in Control Price. For purposes of the Plan, "Change in
Control Price" means the higher of:

            (1)   the highest reported sales price, regular way, of a share of
Stock in any transaction reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape
or other national securities exchange on which such shares are listed or on
Nasdaq, as applicable, during the ninety (90) day period prior to and including
the date of a Change in Control, and or

            (2)   if the Change in Control is the result of a tender or exchange
offer or a Business Combination, the highest price per share of Stock paid in
such tender or exchange offer or Business Combination; provided, however, that
in the case of a Stock Option which:

                  (a)   is held by an Optionee who is an officer of the Company
and is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and

                  (b)   was granted within two hundred and forty (240) days of
the Change in Control, then the Change in Control Price for such Stock Option
shall be the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date such Stock Option is
exercised or canceled. To the extent that the consideration paid in any such
transaction described above consists all or in part of securities or other
non-cash consideration, the value of such securities or other non-cash
consideration shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board.

7.    TERM, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

      The Plan will terminate on December 11, 2011. Stock Options outstanding as
of December 11, 2011 shall not be affected or impaired by the termination of the
Plan.

      The Committee shall have authority to amend the Plan without the approval
of the Company's stockholders to take into account changes in law and tax and
accounting rules, including Rule 16b-3 and Section 162(m) of the Code; provided
that no amendment shall be made without the Optionee's consent which would
impair the rights of an Optionee under a Stock Option theretofore granted.

8.    UNFUNDED STATUS OF PLAN.

      It is presently intended that the Plan constitute an "unfunded" plan for
incentive and deferred compensation. The Committee may authorize the creation of
trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to
deliver Stock or make payments; provided, however, that, unless the Committee
otherwise determines, the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is
consistent with the "unfunded" status of the Plan.

                                       8
<PAGE>

9.    GENERAL PROVISIONS.

      a.    The Committee may require each person purchasing shares pursuant to
a Stock Option to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such
person is acquiring the shares without a view to the distribution thereof. The
certificates for such shares may include any legend which the Committee deems
appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

      Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or agreements made
pursuant thereto, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any
certificate or certificates for shares of Stock under the Plan prior to
fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

            (1)   the listing or approval for listing

            (2)   any registration or other qualification

            (3)   the obtaining of any other consent, approval, or permit from
any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its
absolute discretion after receiving the advice of counsel, determine to be
necessary or advisable.

      b.    Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any of
its Affiliates from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for
any Optionee.

      c.    The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any
right to continued employment, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right
of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any
Optionee with or without cause at any time whatsoever absent a written
employment contract to the contrary.

      d.    No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes
includable in the gross income of the Optionee for federal income tax purposes
with respect to any Stock Option under the Plan, and prior to the delivery of
any shares of Stock to any Optionee, the Optionee shall pay to the Company, or
make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any
federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld by the Company with respect to such amount. In the discretion of the
Committee, withholding obligations may be settled with Stock in an amount having
a Fair Market Value not exceeding the minimum withholding tax payable by the
Optionee with respect to the income recognized, including Stock that is subject
to the Stock Option that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The
obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment
or arrangements, and the Company and any of its Affiliates shall, to the extent
permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment
otherwise due to the Optionee. The Committee shall establish such procedures as
it deems appropriate, including the making of irrevocable elections, for the
