         the Depositor is a party, or (iv) seeking any determination or ruling
         that would materially and adversely affect the validity or

Certificate.  The Certificate shall not entitle its Holder to any benefit
under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear
on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form
set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee, or the Owner Trustee's
authentication agent, by manual or facsimile signature; such authentication
shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been
duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.  The Certificate shall be dated
the date of its authentication.

                 (b)      The Certificateholder shall be entitled to receive
distributions from the Owner Trust Estate only in accordance with this
Agreement and the Deposit and Administration Agreement.  In no event shall
the Depositor or the Certificateholder be entitled to possession of, or be
permitted to encumber any part of, the Owner Trust Estate.

                 SECTION 3.3.  Execution, Authentication and Delivery of
Certificates.  Concurrently with the initial deposit of the Series
Certificate with the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Owner Trust, pursuant to
the Deposit and Administration Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause the
Certificate to be executed on behalf of the Owner Trust, authenticated and
delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its
chairman of the board, its president or any vice president, without further
action by the Depositor.

                 SECTION 3.4.  Restrictions on Transfer.  To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, the Certificate (or any interest therein)
may not be sold, transferred, assigned, participated, pledged or otherwise
disposed of by the Depositor to any Person.

                 SECTION 3.5.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificate.  If (a) the mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the
Owner Trustee, or if the Owner Trustee shall receive evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the Certificate and (b)
there shall be delivered to the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as
may be required by it to save it harmless, then the Owner Trustee shall
execute and the Owner Trustee, or the Owner Trustee's authenticating agent,
shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate.  In connection with
the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.5, the Owner Trustee

                                       7

<PAGE>

may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.  Any
duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute
conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the Owner Trust, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.  The provisions of this Section 3.5 are exclusive
and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with
respect to the replacement of the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate.

                 SECTION 3.6.  Authenticating Agent.  (a)  The Owner Trustee
may appoint one or more authenticating agents with respect to the Certificate
which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Owner Trustee in
authenticating the Certificate in connection with the issuance, delivery,
registration of transfer, exchange or repayment of the Certificate.  Whenever
reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of the Certificate
by the Owner Trustee or the Owner Trustee's certificate of authentication,
such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the
Owner Trustee by an authenticating agent and a certificate of authentication
executed on behalf of the Owner Trustee by an authenticating agent.  Each
authenticating agent shall be subject to acceptance by the Depositor.

                 (b)      Any institution succeeding to the corporate agency
business of an authenticating agent shall continue to be an authenticating
agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of the Owner Trustee or such authenticating agent.

                 (c)      An authenticating agent may at any time resign by
giving written notice of resignation to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor.
The Owner Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an authenticating
agent by giving notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to the
Depositor.  Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a
termination, or in case at any time an authenticating agent shall cease to be
acceptable to the Owner Trustee or the Depositor, the Owner Trustee promptly
may appoint a successor authenticating agent with the consent of the
Depositor.  Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and
duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named
as an authenticating agent.

                 (d)      The Depositor shall pay the authenticating agent
from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section
3.6.

                 (e)      The provisions of Sections 6.1, 6.3, 6.4, 6.6, 7.1
and 7.2 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent.

                 (f)      Pursuant to an appointment made under this Section
3.6, the Certificate may have endorsed thereon, in lieu of the Owner
Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of
authentication in substantially the following form:

         This is the Certificate referred to in the within-mentioned Trust
Agreement.

request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by the
Certificateholder may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments
of substantially similar tenor signed by the Certificateholder in person or
by agent duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or
instruments are delivered to the Owner Trustee and, when required, to the
Depositor or the Servicer.  Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a
writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Owner Trustee, the Depositor and the
Servicer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 3.7.

                 (b)      The fact and date of the execution by the
Certificateholder of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any
reasonable manner which the Owner Trustee deems sufficient.

                 (c)      The Owner Trustee may require such additional proof
of any matter referred to in this Section 3.7 as it shall deem necessary.

                 SECTION 4.1.  Prior Notice to Certificateholder with Respect
to Certain Matters.  With respect to the following matters, the Owner Trustee
shall not take action unless at least 30 days before the taking of such
action, the Owner Trustee shall have notified the Certificateholder in
writing of the proposed action:

                 (a)      the initiation of any claim or lawsuit on behalf of
the Owner Trust (except claims or lawsuits brought to collect on the Series
Certificate) and the compromise of any material action, claim or lawsuit
brought by or against the Owner Trust or the Owner Trustee (except with
respect to the aforementioned claims or lawsuits to collect on the Series
Certificate);

                 (b)      the amendment of the Indenture by a supplemental
indenture in circumstances where the consent of any Noteholder is required;

                 (c)      the amendment of the Indenture by a supplemental
indenture in circumstances where the consent of any Noteholder is not
required and such amendment materially adversely affects the interest of the
Certificateholder;

                 (d)      the amendment, change or modification of the Deposit
and Administration Agreement, except any amendment where the consent of the
Certificateholder is not required under the terms of the Deposit and
Administration Agreement; or

                 (e)      the appointment pursuant to the Indenture of a
successor Indenture Trustee or the consent to the assignment by the Note

Registrar of its obligations under the Indenture.

The Owner Trustee shall notify the Certificateholder in writing of any
appointment of a successor Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent or Certificate
Registrar within five Business Days thereof.

                ARTICLE V.AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF OWNER TRUSTEE

                 SECTION 5.1.  General Authority.  The Owner Trustee is
authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which
the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Owner Trust, is to be a party and each
certificate or other document required to be executed on behalf of the Owner
Trust that is attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Basic
Documents or any amendment thereto or other agreement, in each case, in such
form as the Depositor shall approve as evidenced conclusively by the Owner

                                      10

<PAGE>

Trustee's execution thereof and the Depositor's execution of the related
documents.  In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is authorized,
but shall not be obligated, to take all actions required to be taken on
behalf of the Owner Trust pursuant to the Basic Documents.  The Owner Trustee
is further authorized from time to time to take such action as the
Administrator directs in writing with respect to the Basic Documents, except
to extent that the Basic Documents expressly require the consent of the
Depositor for such action.

                 SECTION 5.2.  General Duties.  It shall be the duty of the
Owner Trustee to discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its
responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Basic
Documents and to administer the Owner Trust in the interest of the
Certificateholder, subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner
Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities
hereunder and under the Basic Documents to the extent the Administrator has
agreed in the Deposit and Administration Agreement to perform any act or to
discharge any duty of the Owner Trustee hereunder or under any other Basic
Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the default or
failure of the Administrator to carry out its obligations under the Deposit
and Administration Agreement.

                 SECTION 5.3.  Action upon Instruction.  (a)  The
Certificateholder may, by written instruction, direct the Owner Trustee in
the management of the Owner Trust.  Such direction may be exercised at any
time by written instruction of the Certificateholder.

                 (b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee
shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Basic
Document if the Owner Trustee shall reasonably determine, or shall have been
advised by counsel in writing, that such action is likely to result in
personal liability to the Owner Trustee (in such capacity or individually),
is contrary to the terms of this Agreement or any other Basic Document or is
contrary to law.

                 (c)      Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide
between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of
this Agreement or any other Basic Document or is unsure as to the application
of any provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document, or if any
such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be,
in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this
Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is
incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to
take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give
notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the
Certificateholder requesting instruction as to the course of action to be

                                      11

<PAGE>

adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance
with any written instruction of the Certificateholder received, the Owner
Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person.  If the
Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten days
of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be
specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may,
but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not
inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, as it shall
deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholder, and shall have no
liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

                 SECTION 5.4.  No Duties Except as Specified in this
Agreement or in Instructions.  The Owner Trustee shall undertake to perform
such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement and the other Basic Documents, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement or the other Basic Documents.
The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any
payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise
deal with the Owner Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking
any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to
which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms
of this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received by the
Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3; and no implied duties or obligations
shall be read into this Agreement or any other Basic Document against the
Owner Trustee.  The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any
financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to
otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien
granted to it hereunder or to prepare or file any filing for the Owner Trust
with the Securities and Exchange Commission or to record this Agreement or
any other Basic Document.  The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it
will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be
necessary to discharge any Liens on any part of the Owner Trust Estate that
result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee, in its
individual capacity, that are not related to the ownership or the
administration of the Owner Trust Estate.

                 SECTION 5.5.  No Action Except under Specified Documents or
Instructions.  The Owner Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell,
dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Owner Trust Estate except
(i) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon
the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the
Basic Documents, and (iii) in accordance with any document or instruction
delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3.

                 SECTION 5.6.  Restrictions.  The Owner Trustee shall not
(a) take any action that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Owner Trust
set forth in Section 2.3 or (b) take any action or amend this Agreement in

                                      12

<PAGE>

any manner that, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the
Owner Trustee, would result in the Owner Trust becoming taxable as a
corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.  The
Certificateholder shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that
would violate the provisions of this Section.

                 SECTION 5.7.  Doing Business in Other Jurisdictions.
(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Owner
Trustee shall not be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other
than in the State of Delaware, other than as set forth in the last sentence
of this Section 5.7, if the taking of such action will (i) require the
consent or approval or authorization or order of or the giving of notice to,
or the registration with or the taking of any other action in respect of, any
state or other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction other
than the State of Delaware; (ii) result in any fee, tax or other governmental
charge under the laws of any jurisdiction or any political subdivisions
thereof in existence on the date hereof other than the State of Delaware
becoming payable by the Owner Trustee; or (iii) subject the Owner Trustee to
personal jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware
for causes of action arising from acts unrelated to the consummation of the
transactions by the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby.
The Owner Trustee shall be entitled to obtain advice of counsel (which advice
shall be an expense of the Depositor) to determine whether any action
required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement results in the consequences
described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence.  In the
event that said counsel advises the Owner Trustee that such action will
result in such consequences, the Owner Trustee will, at the expense of the
Depositor,  appoint an additional trustee pursuant to Section 9.5 to proceed
with such action.

                      ARTICLE VI.CONCERNING OWNER TRUSTEE

                 SECTION 6.1.  Acceptance of Trusts and Duties.  The Owner
Trustee accepts the trusts hereby created and agrees to perform its duties
hereunder with respect to such trusts but only upon the terms of this
Agreement.  The Owner Trustee also agrees to disburse all moneys actually
received by it constituting part of the Owner Trust Estate upon the terms of
the other Basic Documents and this Agreement.  The Owner Trustee shall not be
answerable or accountable hereunder or under any Basic Document under any
circumstances, except (i) for its own willful misconduct, bad faith or gross
negligence or (ii) in the case of the breach of any representation or
warranty contained in Section 6.3 expressly made by the Owner Trustee.  In
particular, but not by way of limitation (and subject to the exceptions set
forth in the preceding sentence):

                                      13

<PAGE>

                 (a)      The Owner Trustee shall not be liable for any error
of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee
unless it is proved that the Owner Trustee was grossly negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts;

                 (b)      The Owner Trustee shall not be liable with respect
to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with the
instructions of the Certificateholder given pursuant to Section 5.3;

                 (c)      No provision of this Agreement or any other Basic
Document shall require the Owner Trustee to expend or risk funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in its own performance of any of its rights or
powers hereunder or under any other Basic Document if the Owner Trustee shall
have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured or provided
to it;

                 (d)      Under no circumstances shall the Owner Trustee be
liable for indebtedness evidenced by or arising under any of the Basic
Documents, including the principal of and interest on the Notes;

                 (e)      The Owner Trustee shall not be responsible for and
makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Agreement or
for the due execution hereof by the Depositor or for the form, character,
genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of any of the Owner Trust Estate
or for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of the Basic Documents,
other than the certificate of authentication on the Certificate, shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of the proceeds from
the Certificate, and the Owner Trustee shall in no event assume or incur any
liability, duty or obligation to any Noteholder or to the Certificateholder,
other than as expressly provided for herein and in the other Basic Documents;

                 (f)      The Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the
default or misconduct of the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator or the
Servicer under any of the Basic Documents or otherwise, and the Owner Trustee
shall have no obligation or liability to perform the obligations to be
performed on behalf of the Owner Trust under this Agreement or the other
Basic Documents that are required to be performed by the Administrator under
the Deposit and Administration Agreement or the Indenture Trustee under the
Indenture;

                 (g)      The Owner Trustee shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to
institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement or otherwise
or in relation to this Agreement or any other Basic Document, at the request,
order or direction of the Certificateholder, unless the Certificateholder has
offered to the Owner Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against

                                      14

<PAGE>

the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by the Owner Trustee
therein or thereby.  The right of the Owner Trustee to perform any
discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement or in any other Basic Document
shall not be construed as a duty, and the Owner Trustee shall not be
answerable for other than its gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct in the performance of any such act; and

                 (h)      The Owner Trustee, upon receipt of any resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to the Owner Trustee that shall be specifically
required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or the
other Basic Documents, shall examine them to determine whether they conform
to the requirements of this Agreement or such other Basic Document; provided,
however, that the Owner Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or
content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report,
document, order or other instrument furnished to the Owner Trustee pursuant
to this Agreement or the other Basic Documents.

                 SECTION 6.2.  Furnishing of Documents.  The Owner Trustee
shall furnish to the Certificateholder promptly upon receipt of a written
request therefor, duplicates or copies of all reports, notices, requests,
demands, certificates, financial statements and any other instruments
furnished to the Owner Trustee under the Basic Documents.

                 SECTION 6.3.  Representations and Warranties.  Wilmington
Trust Company, in its individual capacity, hereby represents and warrants to
the Depositor, for the benefit of the Certificateholder, that:

                 (a)      It is a banking corporation duly organized and
validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and
having an office within the State of Delaware.  It has all requisite
corporate power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under this Agreement.

                 (b)      It has taken all corporate action necessary to
authorize the execution and delivery by it of this Agreement, and this
Agreement will be executed and delivered by one of its officers who is duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement on its behalf.

                 (c)      Neither the execution nor the delivery by it of this
Agreement, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby
nor compliance by it with any of the terms or provisions hereof will
contravene any federal or Delaware law, governmental rule or regulation
governing the banking or trust powers of the Owner Trustee or any judgment,
writ, decree or order applicable to it, or constitute any default under its
charter documents or by-laws or, with or without notice or lapse of time, any

                                      15

<PAGE>

indenture, mortgage, contract, agreement or instrument to which it is a party
or by which any of its properties may be bound.

                 (d)      The execution, delivery and performance by
Wilmington Trust Company of this Agreement does not require the
authorization, consent, or approval of, the giving of notice to, the filing
or registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any
governmental authority or agency of the State of Delaware or the United
States of America regulating the corporate trust activities of Wilmington
Trust Company.

                 (e)      This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by Wilmington Trust Company and shall constitute the legal,
valid, and binding agreement of Wilmington Trust Company, not in its
individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee for the Chase Credit Card
Owner Trust 2000-1, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and
other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and by general
principles of equity regardless of whether enforcement is pursuant to a
proceeding in equity or at law.

                 SECTION 6.4.  Reliance; Advice of Counsel.  (a)  The Owner
Trustee shall incur no liability to anyone in acting upon any signature,
instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report,
opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine and
believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties.  The Owner
Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors
or other governing body of any corporate party as conclusive evidence that
such resolution has been duly adopted by such body *and that the same is in
full force and effect.  As to any fact or matter the method of the
determination of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Owner
Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the
president or any vice president or by the treasurer, secretary or other
authorized officers of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and
such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance
thereon.

                 (b)      In the exercise or administration of the trusts
hereunder and in the performance of its duties and obligations under this
Agreement or the other Basic Documents, the Owner Trustee (i) may act
directly or through its agents or attorneys pursuant to agreements entered
into with any of them, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the
conduct or misconduct of such agents or attorneys if such agents or attorneys
shall have been selected by the Owner Trustee with due care and (ii) may
consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons knowledgeable in
the relevant area to be selected with reasonable care and employed by it.

                                      16

<PAGE>

The Owner Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted
in good faith by it in accordance with the written opinion or advice of any
such counsel, accountants or other such persons and not contrary to this
Agreement or any other Basic Document.

                 SECTION 6.5.  Not Acting in Individual Capacity.  Except as
provided in this Article VI, in accepting the trusts hereby created,
Wilmington Trust Company, not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner
Trustee for the Chase Credit Card Owner Trust 2000-1, acts solely as the
Owner Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity and all Persons
having any claim against the Owner Trustee by reason of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any other Basic Document shall look only to
the Owner Trust Estate for payment or satisfaction thereof.

                 SECTION 6.6.  Owner Trustee May Own Notes.  The Owner
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of the Notes and may deal with the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee
and the Servicer in banking transactions with the same rights as it would
have if it were not the Owner Trustee.

                   ARTICLE VII.COMPENSATION OF OWNER TRUSTEE

                 SECTION 7.1.  Owner Trustee's Fees and Expenses.  The Owner
Trustee shall receive as compensation for its services hereunder such fees as
have been separately agreed upon before the date hereof between the Depositor
and the Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to be
reimbursed by the Depositor for its other reasonable expenses hereunder,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of such
agents, representatives, experts and counsel as the Owner Trustee may employ
in connection with the exercise and performance of its rights and its duties
hereunder except any such expenses as may arise from its gross negligence,
wilful misfeasance, or bad faith or that is the responsibility of the
Certificateholder under this Agreement.

                 SECTION 7.2.  Indemnification.  The Depositor shall be
liable as primary obligor for, and shall indemnify the Owner Trustee (in such
capacity or individually) and its successors, assigns, agents and servants
(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against, any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, taxes, claims, actions and suits,
and any and all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever
(collectively, "Expenses") which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by,
or asserted against the Owner Trustee or any Indemnified Party in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Basic Documents, the
Owner Trust Estate, the administration of the Owner Trust Estate or the
action or inaction of the Owner Trustee hereunder, except only that the

Depositor shall not be liable for or required to indemnify the Owner Trustee
from and against Expenses arising or resulting from any of the matters
described in the third sentence of Section 6.1.  The indemnities contained in
this Section shall survive the resignation or termination of the Owner
Trustee or the termination of this Agreement.  If any suit, action,
proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or
demand shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnified Party in respect
of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 7.2, such
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Depositor in writing, and the
Depositor upon request of the Indemnified Party shall retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party (or, with the consent of the
Depositor, counsel selected by the Indemnified Party acceptable to the
Depositor) to represent the Indemnified Party and any others the Depositor
may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and
expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding.  The Depositor shall not
be liable for any settlement of any claim or proceeding effected without its
written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff, the Depositor agrees to indemnify any Indemnified
Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment.  The Depositor shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a
party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified
Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such
Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such proceeding.

                 SECTION 7.3.  Payments to Owner Trustee.  Any amounts paid
to the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Article VII shall be deemed not to be a
part of the Owner Trust Estate immediately after such payment.

                  ARTICLE VIII.TERMINATION OF TRUST AGREEMENT

                 SECTION 8.1.  Termination of Trust Agreement.  (a)  The
Owner Trust shall terminate upon the final distribution by the Owner Trustee
of all moneys or other property or proceeds of the Owner Trust Estate in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Deposit and Administration
Agreement; provided, that in no event will the Owner Trust continue more than
21 years after the date hereof.  Any money or other property held as part of
the Owner Trust Estate following such distribution shall be distributed to
the Certificateholder.  The bankruptcy, death, incapacity, liquidation,
dissolution or termination of the Depositor or Certificateholder (or any
other beneficiary) shall not (x) operate to revoke or terminate this
Agreement or the Owner Trust, or (y) entitle the Certificateholder's (or any
other beneficiary) legal representatives to claim an accounting or to take
any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or

                                      18

<PAGE>

any part of the Owner Trust or Owner Trustee Estate or (z) otherwise affect
the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.

                 (b)      Except as provided in Section 8.1(a), neither the
Depositor nor the Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or terminate
the Owner Trust.

                 (c)      This Agreement shall be irrevocable.  Except as
provided in this Section 8.1(c), neither the Depositor nor the
Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or terminate the Owner Trust or
this Agreement.  The Depositor and the Owner Trustee acknowledge that the
Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, is a third-party beneficiary
of this Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this
Agreement to the same extent as if they were signitaries hereto.  For so long
as the Notes are outstanding, neither the Owner Trust nor this Agreement
shall be revoked without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee.
The Depositor and the Owner Trustee acknowledge that the Indenture Trustee,
as an agent of the Noteholders, maintains a legitimate interest in ensuring
that the Owner Trust is not revoked prior to the fulfillment of the Owner
Trust objectives.  In no event may this Agreement be amended without the
prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee if the effect of such
amendment is the revocation or termination of this Owner Trust other than in
accordance with this Section 8.1.

       ARTICLE IX.SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES AND ADDITIONAL OWNER TRUSTEES

                 SECTION 9.1.  Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee.
The Owner Trustee shall at all times be a corporation authorized to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authorities; and having (or having a parent) which has a rating of at least
Baa3 by Moody's, at least BBB- by Standard & Poor's and, if rated by Fitch,
at least BBB- by Fitch, or if not rated, otherwise satisfactory to each Note
Rating Agency.  If such corporation shall publish reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published.  In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified
in Section 9.2.

                 SECTION 9.2.  Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee.  The
Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created by giving written notice thereof to the Administrator.  Upon

                                      19

<PAGE>

receiving such notice of resignation, the Administrator shall promptly
appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee
and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee.  If no successor Owner Trustee
shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days
after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Owner Trustee.

                 If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1 and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Administrator, or if at any time the
Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt
or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner
Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Administrator may remove the Owner
Trustee.  If the Administrator shall remove the Owner Trustee under the
authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrator shall
promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing
Owner Trustee so removed and one copy of which shall be delivered to the
successor Owner Trustee, and payment of all fees owed to the outgoing Owner
Trustee shall be made to the outgoing Owner Trustee.

                 Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and
appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of
this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by
the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.3 and payment of all fees
and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.  The Administrator shall
provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of
the Note Rating Agencies.

                 SECTION 9.3.  Successor Owner Trustee.  Any successor Owner
Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 9.2 shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Administrator and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become
effective and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if
originally named as the Owner Trustee.  The predecessor Owner Trustee shall
upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee
all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and
the Administrator and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver
such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for

                                      20

<PAGE>

fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all
such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

                 No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as
provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor
Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1.

                 Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee
pursuant to this Section, the Administrator shall mail notice of the
successor of such Owner Trustee to the Certificateholder, the Indenture
Trustee, the Noteholders and the Note Rating Agencies.  If the Administrator
shall fail to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment
by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such
notice to be mailed at the expense of the Administrator.

                 SECTION 9.4.  Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee.  Any
corporation into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or
any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee
hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section
9.1, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided further that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of
such merger or consolidation to the Note Rating Agencies.

                 SECTION 9.5.  Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Owner Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Administrator
and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute
and deliver all instruments to appoint at the expense of the Depositor one or
more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with
the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any
part of the Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity,
such title to the Owner Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and
trusts as the Administrator and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or
desirable.  If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment
within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner
Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment.  No co-trustee
or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms
of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 9.1 and no notice
of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required
pursuant to Section 9.3.

                                      21

<PAGE>

                 Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions
and conditions:

                 (i)  all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
         imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised
         or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-
         trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or
         co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner
         Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law
         of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be
         performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
         perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties
         and obligations (including the holding of title to the Owner Trust or
         any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
         performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely
         at the direction of the Owner Trustee;

                 (ii)  no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally
         liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under
         this Agreement; and

                 (iii)  the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting
         jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any
         separate trustee or co-trustee.

                 Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner
Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate
trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them.  Every
instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this
Agreement and the conditions of this Article.  Each separate trustee and co-
trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with
the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either
jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein,
subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every
provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the
liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such
instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to
the Administrator.

                 Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint
the Owner Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or
in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name.  If any separate
trustee or co-trustee shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed,
all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and

                                      22

<PAGE>

be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without
the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

                            ARTICLE X.MISCELLANEOUS

                 SECTION 10.1.  Supplements and Amendments.  This Agreement
may be amended by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee, with prior written
notice to the Note Rating Agencies, without the consent of the Indenture
Trustee, any of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder, to cure any
ambiguity or defect, to correct or supplement any provisions in this
Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or of modifying
in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder;
provided, however, that such amendment will not (i) as evidenced by an
Officer's Certificate of the Depositor addressed and delivered to the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, materially and adversely affect the
interest of any Noteholder or the Owner Trust and (ii) as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel addressed and delivered to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee, cause the Owner Trust to be classified as an association
(or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal
income tax purposes; provided, further, that the Depositor shall deliver
written notice of such amendments to each Note Rating Agency prior to the
execution of any such amendment.

                 This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor and the Owner Trustee, with prior written notice to the Note Rating
Agencies, with the prior written consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing
not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights
of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder; provided that no such amendment
shall (a) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or
delay the timing of, collections of payments in respect of the Series
Certificate or distributions that shall be required to be made for the
benefit of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder, or (b) reduce the
aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Holders of
which are required to consent to any such amendment.

                                      23

amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall
approve the substance thereof.

                 Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement,
the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of
Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or
permitted by this Agreement.  The Owner Trustee may, but shall not be

part of the Owner Trust Estate.  No transfer, by operation of law or
otherwise, of any right, title or interest of the Certificateholder to and in

this Agreement or the trusts hereunder or entitle any transferee to an
accounting or to the transfer to it of legal title to any part of the Owner
Trust Estate.

                 SECTION 10.3.  Limitations on Rights of Others.  The
provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Owner Trustee,

other Person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim in the Owner Trust
Estate or under or in respect of this Agreement or any covenants, conditions
or provisions contained herein.

such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice
to each other party.

                 SECTION 10.5.  Severability.  Any provision of this
Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and
any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

agreements contained herein shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit
of, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and its successors and the
Certificateholder and its successors and permitted assigns, all as herein
provided.  Any request, notice, direction, consent, waiver or other
instrument or action by the Certificateholder shall bind the successors and
assigns of the Certificateholder.

                 SECTION 10.8.  Nonpetition Covenants.  Notwithstanding any
prior termination of the Owner Trust or this Agreement, each of the Owner
Trustee (not in its individual capacity) and the Certificateholder, by its
acceptance of the Certificate, covenants and agrees that it shall not at any
time with respect to the Owner Trust or the Master Trust, acquiesce, petition
or otherwise invoke or cause the Owner Trust or the Master Trust to invoke
the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of
commencing or sustaining a case against the Owner Trust or the Master Trust
under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or
appointing a receiver, conservator, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator or other similar official of the Owner Trust or the Master Trust
or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or
liquidation of the affairs of the Owner Trust or the Master Trust; provided,
however, that this Section 10.8 shall not operate to preclude any remedy
described in Article V of the Indenture.

                 SECTION 10.9.  No Recourse.  The Certificateholder by
accepting the Certificate acknowledges that the Certificate does not
represent an interest in or obligation of the Depositor, the Administrator,
the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity), the Indenture Trustee or any
Affiliate thereof, and no recourse may be had against such parties or their

                            1996 STOCK OPTION PLAN

          1.   Purpose of the Plan.  The purposes of this Stock Option Plan
are to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of
substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to Employees and
Consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to promote the success of
the Company's business.  Options granted under the Plan may be Incentive
Stock Options (as defined under Section 422 of the Code) or Non statutory
Stock Options, as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant of an
option and subject to the applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code,
as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

     leave, military leave, or any other personal leave; provided, however,
     that for purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed

     is guaranteed by contract (including certain Company policies) or
     statute; provided, further, that on the ninety-first (91st) day of any
     such leave (where reemployment is not guaranteed by contract or statute)
     the Optionee's Incentive Stock Option shall cease to be treated as an
     Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Non

          recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported,
          the Fair Market Value shall be the mean between the high bid and
          low asked prices for the Common Shares or;

               (iii)  In the absence of an established market for the
          Common Shares, the Fair Market Value thereof shall be determined in
          good faith by the Administrator.

          (l)  "Incentive Stock Option" means an Option intended to qualify
     as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the

Section 12 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be
optioned and sold under the Plan is 8,000,000 Common Shares.  The shares may
be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Shares.

          If an Option should expire or become unexercisable for any reason
without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased Shares which were
subject thereto shall, unless the Plan shall have been terminated, become
available for future grant under the Plan; provided, however, that Shares
that have actually been issued under the Plan shall not be returned to the
Plan and shall not become available for future distribution under the Plan,
except that if unvested Shares are repurchased by the Company at their
original purchase price, and the original purchaser of such Shares did not
receive any benefits of ownership of such Shares, such Shares shall become
available for future grant under the Plan.  For purposes of the preceding
sentence, voting rights shall not be considered a benefit of Share ownership.

          4.   Administration of the Plan.

          (a)  Plan Procedure.

               (i)    Administration with Respect to Directors and Officers.
          With respect to grants of Options to Employees who are also
          Officers or directors of the Company, the Plan shall be
          administered by (A) the Board if the Board may administer the Plan
          in compliance with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act or
          any successor thereto ("Rule 16b-3") with respect to a plan
          intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary plan, or (B) a
          Committee designated by the Board to administer the Plan, which
          Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to permit the
          Plan to comply with Rule 16b-3 with respect to a plan intended to
          qualify thereunder as a discretionary plan. Once appointed, such
          Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until
          otherwise directed by the Board.  From time to time the Board may
          increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members
          thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new
          members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies, however caused,
          and remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly
          administer the Plan, all to the extent permitted by Rule 16b-3 with
          respect to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary
          plan.

               (ii)   Multiple Administrative Bodies.  If permitted by Rule
          16b-3, the Plan may be administered by different bodies with
          respect to directors, non-director Officers and Employees who are
          neither directors nor Officers.

               (iii)  Administration With Respect to Consultants and Other
          Employees.  With respect to grants of Options to Employees or
          Consultants who are neither directors nor Officers of the Company,
          the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a committee
          designated by the Board, which committee shall be constituted in
          such a manner as to satisfy all applicable legal requirements
          relating to the administration of incentive stock option plans,
          including, without limitation, those of the Code, and of any
          applicable stock exchange (the "Applicable Laws").  Once appointed,
          such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity
          until otherwise directed by the Board.  From time to time the Board
          may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional
          members thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint
          new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies, however
          caused, and remove all members of the Committee and thereafter
          directly administer the Plan, all to the extent permitted by the
          Applicable Laws.

          (b)  Powers of the Administrator.  Subject to the provisions of the
Plan and, in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the
Board to such Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant
authorities, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

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

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

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

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

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

               (vi)   to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent
          with the terms of the Plan, of any award granted hereunder.  Such
          terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise
          price, the time or times when Options may be exercised (which may
          be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or
          waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or
          limitation regarding any Option or the Common Shares relating
          thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator,
          in its sole discretion, shall determine;

               (vii)  to determine whether and under what circumstances an
          Option may be settled in cash under subsection 9(f) instead of
          Common Shares;

               (viii) with the prior approval of The Toronto Stock
          Exchange, to reduce the exercise price of any Option to the then
          current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common
          Shares covered by such Option has declined since the date the
          Option was granted;

               (ix)   to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and
          awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

               (x)    to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
          relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to
          sub-plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred
          tax treatment under foreign tax laws;

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

               (xi)   to modify or amend each Option (subject to Section 13(b)
          of the Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend the
          post-termination exercisability period of options longer than is
          otherwise provided for in the Plan but in no event shall the
          exercised period of any Option be greater than 10 years from the
          date of grant thereof;

               (xii)  to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the
          Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Option
          previously granted by the Administrator;

               (xiii) to determine, and make rules and restrictions
          regarding, the transferability of Options; and

               (xiv)  to make all other determinations deemed necessary or
          advisable for administering the Plan.

          (c)  Effect of Administrator's Decision.  All decisions,
determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and
binding on all Optionees and any other holders of any Options.

          5.   Eligibility.

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

          (b)  Each Option shall be designated in the written option
agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option.
However, notwithstanding such designations, to the extent that the aggregate
Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by any Optionee during any calendar year
(under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) in excess of
$100,000, such excess shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.

          (c)  For purposes of Section 5(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be
taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair
market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with
respect to such Shares is granted.

          (d)  The Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any right with
respect to continuation of employment or consulting relationship with the
Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the
Company's right to terminate his or her employment or consulting relationship
at any time, with or without cause.

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

          6.   Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective upon the
earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by
the shareholders of the Company, as described in Section 17 of the Plan.  It
shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner
terminated under Section 11 of the Plan.

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

          8.   Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

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

               (i)    In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

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

                      B.    granted to any Employee other than an Employee
                            described in the preceding paragraph, the per
                            Share exercise price shall be no less than 100%
                            of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date
                            of grant.

               (ii)   In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share
          exercise price shall be determined by the Administrator.

          (b)  The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined
by the Administrator.

          9.   Exercise of Option.  (a)  Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a
Shareholder.  Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times
and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator, including

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

performance criteria with respect to the Company and/or the Optionee, and as
shall be permissible under the terms of the Plan.

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

          An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of
such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of
the Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for
the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by
the Company.  Full payment may, as authorized by the Administrator, consist
of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8(b) of
the Plan.  Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the
books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company)
of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive
dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to
the Optioned Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.  The Company
shall issue (or cause to be issued) such stock certificate promptly upon
exercise of the Option.  No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other
right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is
issued, except as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.

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

          (b)  Termination of Employment or Consulting Relationship.  If an
Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant terminates (but not
in the event of a change of status from Employee to Consultant (in which case
an Employee's Incentive Stock Option shall automatically convert to a
Nonstatutory Stock Option on the date three months and one day from the date
of such change of status) or from Consultant to Employee), other than upon
the Optionee's death or disability; the Optionee may exercise his or her
Option, but only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it
at the date of termination and in no event later than the expiration of the
term of such Option.  If, at the date of termination, the Optionee is not
entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the
unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.  If, after
termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time
specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares
covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

          (c)  Disability of Optionee.  In the event of termination of an
Optionee's consulting relationship or Continuous Status as an Employee as a
result of his or her disability, Optionee may, but only within six months
from the date of such termination if such termination occurs after completion
by the Company of an IPO (and in no event later than the expiration date of

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise the
Option to the extent otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such
termination; provided, however, that if the Company completes an IPO after
such termination such Option shall terminate on the date which is the later
of the date of the IPO and the 180th day after the date of termination of
Optionee's consulting relationship or Continuous Status as an Employee as a
result of his or her disability.  If such disability is not a "disability" as
such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option such Incentive Stock Option shall automatically
convert to a Nonstatutory Stock Option on the day three months and one day
following such termination.  To the extent that Optionee is not entitled to
exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if Optionee does not
exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified
herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option
shall revert to the Plan.

          (d)  Death of Optionee.  In the event of the death of an Optionee,
the Option may be exercised at any time, but only within twelve (12) months
following the date of death where such date is after completion by the
Company of an IPO (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of
such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee's estate or
by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
inheritance, but only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to
exercise the Option at the date of death; provided, however, that if the
Company completes an IPO after such death such Option shall terminate on the
date which is the later of the date of the IPO and the first anniversary of
the date of death.  If, at the time of death, the Optionee was not entitled
to exercise his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable
portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan.  If, after death,
the Optionee's estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the
Option by bequest or inheritance does not exercise the Option within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such
Option shall revert to the Plan.

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

          (f)  Buyout Provisions.  The Administrator may at any time offer to
buy out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted, based
on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and
communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.

          10.  Non-Transferability of Options.  Subject to any rules to the
contrary established by the Administrator, Options may not be sold, pledged,

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than
by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised,
during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.

          11.  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization or Merger.

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

          (b)  Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, to the extent that an Option has
not been previously exercised, it will terminate immediately prior to the
consummation of such proposed action.  The Administrator may, in the exercise
of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that any Option shall
terminate as of a date fixed by the Administrator and give each Optionee the
right to exercise his or her Option as to all or any part of the Optioned
Shares, including shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be
exercisable.

          (c)  Merger.  In the event of a merger of the Company with or into
another corporation, the Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option
shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary
of such successor corporation.  If, in such event, the Option is not assumed
or substituted, the Option shall terminate as of the date of the closing of
the merger.  For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option shall be
considered assumed if, following the merger, the option confers the right to
purchase, for each Optioned Share subject to the Option immediately prior to
the merger, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or
property) received in the merger by holders of Common Shares for each Common
Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were

                                     -10-

<PAGE>

offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the
holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares); provided, however,
that if such consideration received in the merger was not solely common stock
of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the
consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be
received upon the exercise of the Option for each Optioned Share subject to
the Option to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its
Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by
holders of Common Shares in the merger.

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

          13.  Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

          (a)  Amendment and Termination.  The Board may at any time amend,
alter, suspend or discontinue, or terminate the Plan.  To the extent
necessary and desirable to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or
with Section 422 of the Code (or any other applicable law or regulation,
including the requirements of any exchange or quotation system on which the
Common Shares are listed or quoted), the Company shall obtain shareholder
approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as
required by the applicable law, rule or regulation.

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

          14.  Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.  Shares shall not be
issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such
Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall
comply with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock
exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed, and shall be further
subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.

          As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may
require the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the
time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for

                                     -11-

<PAGE>

investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such
Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation
is required by any applicable laws, rules or regulations.

          15.  Reservation of Shares.  The Company, during the term of this
Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as
shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

          If the Optioned Shares covered by an Option exceeds, as of the date
of grant, the number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan without
additional shareholder approval, such Option shall be void with respect to
such excess Optioned Shares, unless shareholder approval of an amendment
sufficiently increasing the number of Shares subject to the Plan is timely
obtained in accordance with Section 13(a) of the Plan.

          The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any
regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the
Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any
Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of
the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority
shall not have been obtained.

          16.  Agreements.  Options shall be evidenced by written agreements
in such form as the Administrator shall approve from time to time.

          17.  Shareholder Approval.  Continuance of the plan shall be
subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve months
before or after the date the Plan is adopted.  Such shareholder approval
shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under applicable law and
the rules of any stock exchange upon which the Common Shares are listed.
