WHEREAS, the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Board”), by and through its Compensation

Agreement under the terms and conditions set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual promises and the respective
covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained, the parties intending
to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.             Employment.  The Company hereby agrees to employ the
Executive, and the Executive hereby agrees to serve the Company, on the terms
and conditions set forth herein.

2.             Term.  The Executive’s employment pursuant to this
Agreement shall continue in effect through July 1, 2008; provided, however, that
commencing on July 1, 2008 and each July 1st thereafter, the Executive’s
employment pursuant to this Agreement shall automatically be extended for
additional one (1) year terms unless, not later than ninety (90) calendar days
prior to such date, the Company or the Executive shall have given written
notice that such party does not wish to extend the Executive’s employment
pursuant to this Agreement; and provided, further, that if a Change of Control
(as defined herein) of the Company shall have occurred during the original or
any extended term of the Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement, the
term of the Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement shall continue in
effect for a period of twelve (12) months beyond the month in which such Change
of Control occurred.

3.             Position and Duties.  During the Executive’s employment with the
Company pursuant to this Agreement, (i) the Executive shall serve as the
Executive Chairman of the Company and shall have such responsibilities and
authority as is customary for an Executive Chairman of a company of similar

Director on the Board of Directors of the Company.

4.             Compensation, Benefits and
Related Matters.

During the Executive’s employment with the Company pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Executive a salary at an initial rate
of

Three Hundred Thirty Thousand ($330,000) per annum in equal installments as nearly as
practicable on the normal payroll periods for employees of the Company
generally (the “Base Salary”). 
The Base Salary may be increased from time to time at the discretion of
the Board.

(b)           Performance-Based Bonus.  During the Executive’s employment with the
Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Executive shall be eligible to receive
a bonus following the end of each fiscal year in accordance with the

may deem appropriate to consider.

During the Executive’s employment with the Company pursuant to this
Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for

Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to
participate in all of the employee benefit plans and arrangements generally
provided from time to time to senior executive officers of the Company.  The Company may initiate, change and
discontinue any such plan or arrangement at any time.  Nothing paid to the Executive under any plan
or arrangement presently in effect or made available in the future shall be
deemed to be in lieu of any amounts payable to the Executive pursuant to this Section
4.

(e)           Compensation During Incapacity.  During the Executive’s employment with the
Company pursuant to this Agreement, for any period that the Executive fails to
perform the Executive’s full-time duties with the Company as a result of
incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Company shall pay the
Executive’s Base Salary to the Executive at the rate in effect at the
commencement of any such period, together with all compensation and benefits
payable to the Executive under the terms of any compensation or benefit plan,
program or arrangement maintained by the Company during such period, until the
Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Disability.

5.             Termination.

(a)           The
Executive’s employment with the Company may be terminated by the Company (i) at
any time for Cause or without Cause; or (ii) if, as a result of the Executive’s
incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Executive shall have been
absent from the full-time performance of the Executive’s duties with the
Company for three (3) consecutive months (a “Disability”).  The Executive’s employment with the Company
shall be terminated immediately upon the death of the Executive.  The Executive’s employment with the Company
may be terminated at any time by the Executive for Constructive Termination or
without Constructive Termination.

 2
 

(b)           Any
purported termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or the
Executive (other than by reason of death) shall be communicated by written
Notice of Termination from one party hereto to the other in accordance with Section
19 hereof.

(c)           As
used herein:

(i)            A “Notice
of Termination” shall mean a notice that specifies the Date of Termination
and that, in the case of a termination by the Executive, shall indicate the
specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set
forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a
basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so
indicated and that, in the case of a termination by the Company, shall indicate
whether such termination is for Cause or without Cause.

(ii)           The
“Date of Termination” with respect to any purported termination of the
Executive’s employment shall mean (A) if the Executive’s employment is
terminated for Disability, thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is
given (provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time
performance of the Executive’s duties during such thirty (30) day period), (B)
if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death, then the date
thereof, (C) if the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section
2 hereof, the date on which the Executive’s employment expires pursuant to
such section, and (D) if the Executive’s employment is terminated for any other
reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which, in the case of
a termination by the Executive, shall not be less than thirty (30) nor more
than sixty (60) days from the date such Notice of Termination is given).

6.             Severance
Payments.

(a)           The Company shall pay the Executive the payments and
benefits set forth in this Section 6(a) upon any termination of the
Executive’s employment, including, without limitation, the nonextension of the
Executive’s employment by the Company pursuant to Section 2 hereof,
unless such termination is by the Company for Cause, by the Executive without
Constructive Termination or the nonextension of the Executive’s employment by
the Executive pursuant to Section 2 hereof:

(i)            The
Company shall pay as severance pay to the Executive an amount (the “Cash
Severance Amount”) equal to two (2) times the sum of (x) the Executive’s
Base Salary at the highest rate in effect prior to the Date of Termination,
plus (y) the full amount of the target level bonus for which the Executive is
eligible (or, if no such target level bonus exists, the maximum bonus,
performance and incentive compensation amounts for which the Executive is
eligible), calculated based upon the bonus period in which the Date of
Termination occurs and annualized to the extent that such bonus period does not
reflect a twelve (12) month period.  The
Company shall pay the Cash Severance Amount over the twenty-four (24) month
period immediately following the Date of Termination (the “Severance Period”),
in equal installments as nearly as practicable, on the normal payroll dates for
employees of the Company generally; provided  that, in the event
the aggregate portion of the Cash Severance Amount payable during the first six
(6) months of the Severance Period would exceed an amount (the “Minimum
Amount”) equal to two (2) times the lesser of (i) the Executive’s
annualized compensation as in effect for the calendar year immediately
preceding the calendar year during

 3
 

which the Executive’s termination of
employment occurs, or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account
under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) for the calendar year during which
the Executive’s termination of employment occurs, then (x) the Company shall
pay a portion of the Cash Severance Amount equal to the Minimum Amount over the
first six (6) months of the Severance Period, in equal installments as nearly
as practicable, on the normal payroll dates for employees of the Company
generally and (y) the Company shall pay the remainder of the Cash Severance
Amount over the remaining eighteen (18) months of the Severance Period, in
equal installments as nearly as practicable, on the normal payroll dates for
employees of the Company generally. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company terminates the
Executive’s employment without Cause or elects not to extend the Executive’s
employment pursuant to Section 2 hereof or the Executive resigns after a
Constructive Termination during the time period commencing with a written
agreement for a Change of Control (which transaction is ultimately consummated)
and ending two (2) years thereafter, the Company shall pay the Cash Severance
Amount in cash in a single lump sum payment within five (5) days of the Date of
Termination; provided  that, in the event the Cash Severance
Amount would exceed the Minimum Amount (as defined above), then a portion of
the Cash Severance Amount equal to the Minimum Amount shall be paid no later
than five (5) days after the Date of Termination, and the remainder of the Cash
Severance Amount shall be paid on the date that is one business day after the
date that is six (6) months after the Date of Termination.  In no event shall any payments under this
Section 6(a)(i) be made later than December 31 of the second (2nd) calendar
year following the calendar year during which the Date of Termination occurs.

(ii)           For
a twenty-four (24) month period after the Date of Termination, the Company
shall administer and pay for the Executive’s life, disability, accident and
health insurance benefits substantially similar to those which the Executive is
receiving immediately prior to the Notice of Termination.

(b)           Notwithstanding
any contrary provision in any agreement relating to the grant by the Company or
any of its affiliates of any option to acquire shares of the Company’s or any
affiliate’s capital stock pursuant to such entity’s stock option plans (“Stock
Options”) or the issuance of capital stock or other equity interests of any
such entity pursuant to a restricted stock agreement or similar arrangement (“Restricted
Stock”) (including in each case, without limitation, Stock Options and
Restricted Stock granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated Omnibus 2002
Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)), if such Stock Options or Restricted
Stock held by the Executive are assumed or an equivalent option right
substituted by a successor corporation (or its affiliate) in a Corporate
Transaction (as defined in the Notice of Stock Option Grant or Notice of
Restricted Stock Bonus Award entered into under the Plan) or a Change of
Control (as defined below), then during the period commencing with a written
agreement for such Corporate Transaction or Change of Control (which
transaction is ultimately consummated) and ending two (2) years thereafter the
Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause or elects not to
extend the Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 2 hereof or the Executive
resigns after a Constructive Termination, all Stock Options and all shares of
Restricted Stock which have not yet become vested shall become vested in full
on the Date of Termination.  Stock
Options and Restricted Stock not so assumed or substituted by the successor
corporation in such Corporate Transaction shall be treated as provided in the
Plan or the agreements thereunder

 4
 

(or other plans and agreements applicable to such Stock Options or
Restricted Stock, as the case may be) with respect to Stock Options and
Restricted Stock that are not assumed or substituted in such Corporate
Transaction or Change of Control.

(c)           The payments provided in Section
6(a) shall be in addition to the payments and benefits set forth in Section
7 hereof.

7.             Compensation Other than
Severance Payments.  If the Executive’s
employment shall be terminated by him or the Company for any reason, the
Company shall (i) pay the Executive’s normal post-termination compensation and
benefits under, and in accordance with, the Company’s retirement, insurance and
other compensation or benefit plans or programs during such period, (ii) pay the Executive, no later than five (5)
days after the Date of Termination, an amount in cash equal to (A) the
Executive’s accrued but unpaid Base Salary through the Date of Termination,
plus (B) the amount of any unpaid bonus, performance and incentive compensation
which has been earned by the Executive for any fiscal period preceding the Date
of Termination in respect of which such compensation is paid or payable.

8.             Certain Definitions.

(a)           Cause.  “Cause” shall mean the following:

(i)            A good faith finding by the Board
that the Executive (w) has been convicted of a felony, (x) has been
convicted of a misdemeanor (excluding traffic violations) to the extent such
conviction could reasonably be considered to compromise the best interests of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or render the Executive unfit or unable
to perform his services and duties hereunder, (y) has committed any other
act or omission involving dishonesty, disloyalty or fraud with respect to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their customers or suppliers, or
(z) has committed an act involving unlawful or disreputable conduct in the
context of Executive’s employment which is likely to be harmful to the Company
or its reputation;

(ii)           The continued failure by the
Executive to perform his duties in all material respects for the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries continuing for a period of 45 days following a demand for
such performance by the Board or a material breach by the Executive of his
obligations under this Agreement continuing uncured (if curable) for a period
of 45 days following notice from the Board (other than any such failure or
breach resulting from the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental
illness), which demand shall identify in reasonable detail the manner that that
Executive has not performed his duties or has breached his obligations (as
applicable) and give the Executive an opportunity to respond.  The foregoing shall not be construed to
include the Executive’s failure to achieve financial or operating objectives and
goals established by the Board; or

(iii)          A good faith finding by the Board that
the Executive engaged in (x) misconduct materially injurious to the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries or their reputation or (y) gross negligence or willful
misconduct which has a material adverse effect on the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.

 5
 

(b)           Change
of Control.  A “Change of Control”
shall be deemed to occur if (i) there shall be consummated (x) any
consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the
continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of the Company’s
Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other
than a merger of the Company in which the holders of the Company’s Common Stock
immediately prior to the merger hold more than fifty percent (50%) of the
voting power of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger, or (y)
any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of
related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the
Company, or (ii) the stockholders of the Company shall approve any plan or
proposal for liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (iii) any person (as
such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”))  shall become the beneficial owner (within the
meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of fifty percent (50%) or more of
the Company’s outstanding Common Stock other than pursuant to a plan or
arrangement entered into by such person and the Company, or (iv) within any
twenty-four (24) month period, the following individuals cease for any reason
to constitute a majority of the number of directors then serving on the Board:
individuals who, on the date hereof, constitute the Board and any new director
(other than a director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with
an actual or threatened election contest, including but not limited to a
consent solicitation relating to the election of directors of the Company)
whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination for election by the
Company’s shareholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least
two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors
on the date hereof or whose appointment, election or nomination for election
was previously so approved or recommended.

(c)           Common
Stock.  “Common Stock” shall
mean the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share.

(d)           Constructive
Termination.  “Constructive
Termination” shall mean the occurrence, without the Executive’s written
consent, of any of the following circumstances unless such circumstances are
fully corrected prior to the Date of Termination specified in the Notice of
Termination given in respect thereof:

(i)            The
assignment to the Executive of any duties materially inconsistent with the
Executive’s position, authority, duties or responsibilities (including status,
offices, effective titles and reporting structures) in effect immediately prior
to such assignment, or any other action by the Company which results in the
material diminishment of such position, authority, duties or status as Chief
Executive Officer of the Company or a substantial adverse alteration in the
nature or status of the Executive’s responsibilities;

(ii)           The
relocation of the Executive’s principal place of employment to a location
outside of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area or the Company’s requiring
the Executive to be based anywhere other than such principal place of
employment (or permitted relocation thereof) except for required travel on the
Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the Executive’s
present business travel obligations; or

(iii)          A
material breach of this Agreement by the Company (which shall in any event
include, without limitation, the failure by the Company to pay to the Executive
any

 6
 

portion of the Executive’s then Base Salary or allocated bonus,
incentive or other form of compensation or to pay to the Executive any portion
of an installment of deferred compensation under any deferred compensation
program of the Company, within seven (7) days of the date such compensation is
due, and any reduction in the Base Salary).

The Executive’s
right to terminate the Executive’s employment as a result of Constructive
Termination shall not be affected by the Executive’s incapacity due to physical
or mental illness.  The Executive’s
termination of employment shall not be considered to be for Constructive
Termination unless the
Executive first provides written notice to the Company within ninety (90) days
following the effective date of such event, and the Company has been provided a
period of at least thirty (30) days after receipt of the Executive’s notice
during which to rescind or otherwise remedy the actions, events, or
circumstances described in the Executive’s notice.

(e)           Subsidiary.  “Subsidiary” shall mean
any corporation of which the Company owns securities having a majority of the
ordinary voting power in electing the board of directors directly or through
one or more subsidiaries.

9.             D&O
Insurance; Indemnification.

(a)           To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify the
Executive against all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments,
fines, and amounts paid in settlement, as actually and reasonably incurred by
the Executive in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit, or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative that the
Executive is made a party to by reason of the fact that he is or was performing
services as an officer or director of the Company.  Such indemnification shall continue as to the
Executive even if he has ceased to be an employee, officer, or director of the
Company and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs and estate.

(b)           Any
costs, fees or expenses incurred by the Executive relating to indemnification
under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or the Company’s
Bylaws, as amended, shall be paid by the Company in advance as soon as
practicable but not later than three business days after receipt of written
request of the Executive; provided that the Executive shall undertake to repay
such amount to the extent that it is ultimately determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that the Executive is not entitled to
indemnification.  Subject to applicable
law, the Executive’s right to indemnification or advances from the Company
shall be enforceable by the Executive in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The burden of proving that indemnification or
advances are not appropriate shall be on the Company.

(c)           The provisions of this Section 9
are in addition to, and not in derogation of, the indemnification provisions of
the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, the Company’s Bylaws,
as amended, and the Indemnification Agreement between the Company and the
Executive (the “Indemnification Agreement”).

10.           No Mitigation.  The Company agrees that, if the Executive’s
employment is terminated hereunder, the Executive is not required to seek other
employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the
Executive by the Company.  Furthermore,
the

 7
 

amount of any payment
provided hereunder shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the
Executive.

11.           Confidential Information.  The Executive acknowledges that the
information, observations and data obtained by him while employed by the
Company or any Subsidiary (including those obtained prior to the date of this
Agreement concerning the business or affairs of the Company, or any of its
Subsidiaries (collectively, “Confidential Information”)) are the
property of the Company and such Subsidiaries. 
Therefore, the Executive agrees that he shall not (during his employment
with the Company or at any time thereafter) disclose to any unauthorized person
or use for his own purposes any Confidential Information without the express
prior written consent of the Board, unless and to the extent that the
aforementioned matters: (a) become generally known to and available for use by
the public other than as a result of the Executive’s acts or omissions or (b)
are required to be disclosed by judicial process or law.  The Executive shall deliver to the Company at
the termination of his employment, or at any other time the Company may
request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes,
printouts and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof)
relating to the Confidential Information, Work Product (as defined below) or the
business of the Company or any Subsidiary which he may then possess or have
under his control.

12.           Inventions and Patents.  The Executive hereby assigns to the Company
all right,-title and interest to all patents and patent applications, all
inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs,
analyses, drawings, reports and all similar or related information (in each
case whether or not patentable), all copyrights and copyrightable works, all
trade secrets, confidential information and know-how, and all other
intellectual property rights that are conceived, reduced to practice, developed
or made by the Executive while employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries and
that (i) relate to the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s actual or anticipated
business, research and development or existing or future products or services;
or (ii) are conceived, reduced to practice, developed or made using any
material equipment, supplies, facilities, assets or resources of the Company or
any Subsidiary (including but not limited to any intellectual property rights)
(“Work Product”).  The Executive
shall promptly disclose such Work Product to the Board and perform all actions
reasonably requested by the Board (whether during his employment with the
Company or at any time thereafter) to establish and confirm the Company’s
ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of
attorney, applications and other instruments).

13.           Noncompetition.  In further consideration of the compensation
to be paid to the Executive hereunder, the Executive acknowledges that in the
course of his employment with the Company he has become and shall become
familiar with the Company’s trade secrets and with other Confidential
Information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries and that his services
have been and shall be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the
Company and its Subsidiaries.  Therefore,
the Executive agrees that, during the Executive’s employment with the Company
and for six (6) months thereafter (collectively the “Noncompete Period”),
he shall not, without prior express written consent of the Board, directly or
indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise) own or hold any interest in,
manage, operate, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, or
in any manner participate in any business engaged in any of the businesses or
services provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries during the employment with
the Company or the Noncompete Period (a “Competing Company”) or otherwise
competing

 8
 

with the businesses of
the Company or its Subsidiaries, either as a general or limited partner,
proprietor, common or preferred shareholder, officer, director, agent,
employee, consultant, trustee, affiliate or otherwise.  The Executive acknowledges that the Company’s
and its affiliates’ businesses are conducted nationally and internationally and
agrees that the provisions in this Section 13 shall operate throughout
the United States and the world.  Nothing
herein shall prohibit the Executive from being a passive owner of not more than
five percent (5%) of the outstanding securities of any publicly traded company
that constitutes a Competing Company, so long as the Executive has no active
participation in the business of such company.

14.           Non-Solicitation.  During the Executive’s employment with the
Company and for twelve (12) months thereafter (collectively the “Nonsolicit
Period”), the Executive shall not directly or indirectly through another
entity (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company or any
Subsidiary to leave the employ of the Company or such Subsidiary, or in any way
interfere with the relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary and any
employee thereof, (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the Company or
any Subsidiary at any time during the twenty-four (24) months preceding the
Date of Termination of the Executive, or (iii) induce or attempt to induce
any customer, developer, client, member, supplier, licensee, licensor,
franchisee or other business relation of the Company or any Subsidiary to cease
doing business with the Company or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere
with the relationship between any such customer, developer, client, member,
supplier, licensee or business relation and the Company or any Subsidiary
(including, without limitation, making any negative statements or
communications about the Company or any Subsidiary).

15.           Enforcement.  If, at the time of enforcement of any of Sections
11 through 14, a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area
restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing,
the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under
such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area
and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein
to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law.  Because the Executive’s services are unique
and because he has access to Confidential Information and Work Product, the
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that money damages would not be an
adequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement.  Therefore, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or its successors or assigns
may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to
any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive
or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions
hereof (without posting a bond or other security).  In addition, in the event of an alleged
breach or violation by the Executive of any of Sections 11 through 14,
the Noncompete Period and the Nonsolicit Period shall be tolled until such
breach or violation has been duly cured.  The Executive agrees that the restrictions
contained in Sections 11 through 14 are reasonable.

16.           Successors; Binding Agreement.

(a)           Successors.  The Company will require any successor
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise)
to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Executive, to
expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to
the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such

 9
 

succession had taken place.  As
used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore
defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which
executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 16 or
which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement
by operation of law.

(b)           Binding
Agreement.  This Agreement and all
rights of the Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors,
administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.  If the Executive should die while any amounts
would still be payable to him hereunder if he had continued to live, all such
amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee
or, if there be no such designee, to the Executive’s estate.

17.           Representations.  The Executive hereby represents and warrants
to the Company that: (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by the Executive and the execution of the Company’s business plan by
the Executive do not and will not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a
default under any agreement, contract or instrument to which the Executive is a
party or any judgment, order or decree to which the Executive is subject, (b)
this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms, (c) the Executive has not

Consulting Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), by
resolution of its Board of Directors, hereby adopts the First Consulting Group,
Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan will become effective upon the
approval of the Company’s stockholders (the “Effective Date”).

The
purpose of the Plan is to promote the success and enhance the value of the
Company by linking the personal interests of the members of the Board,
Employees, and Consultants to those of the Company’s stockholders and by
providing such individuals with an incentive for outstanding performance to
generate superior returns to the Company’s stockholders.  The Plan is further intended to provide
flexibility to the Company in its ability to motivate, attract, and retain the
services of members of the Board, Employees, and Consultants upon whose
judgment, interest, and special effort the successful conduct of the Company’s
operation is largely dependent.

ARTICLE I.

Board, such new Director shall, for purposes of this definition, be considered
as a member of the Incumbent Board.

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a merger, consolidation or reverse merger described in subsection
(b) or (c) shall not be a “Change in Control,” if such merger, consolidation or
reverse merger results in the Common Stock outstanding immediately before the
merger, consolidation or reverse merger continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the
Company or the person that, as a result of the merger, consolidation or reverse
merger, controls, directly or indirectly, the Company or otherwise succeeds to

Plan.

1.41.        “Subsidiary” means any entity

Plan, the Company or any Subsidiary has an absolute and unrestricted right to
terminate a Consultant’s service at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or
without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in
writing.  For purposes of the Plan, the

including, without limitation, a termination by resignation, discharge, death,
disability or retirement; but excluding: 
(a) terminations where there is a simultaneous reemployment or
continuing employment of a Holder by the Company or any Subsidiary, and (b)
terminations which are followed by the simultaneous establishment of a consulting
relationship by the Company or a Subsidiary with the former employee.  The Administrator, in its discretion, shall
determine the effect of all matters and questions relating to Termination of
Employment, including, without limitation, the question of whether a
Termination of Employment resulted from a discharge for cause; provided, however, that, with respect to
Incentive Stock Options, unless the Administrator otherwise provides in the
terms of the Award Agreement or otherwise, a leave of absence, change in status
from an employee to an independent contractor or other change in the
employee-employer relationship shall constitute a Termination of Employment if,
and to the extent that, such leave of absence, change in status or other change
interrupts employment for the purposes of Section 422(a)(2) of the Code and the
then applicable regulations and revenue rulings under said Section.  For purposes of the Plan, a Holder’s employee-employer relationship
shall be deemed to be terminated in the event that the Subsidiary employing
such Holder ceases to remain a Subsidiary following any merger, sale of
stock or other corporate transaction or event (including, without limitation, a
spin-off).

ARTICLE II.

SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN

2.1.          Shares Subject to Plan.

(a)           Subject to Section 11.3 and Section
2.1(b), the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or
transferred pursuant to Awards under the Plan initially shall be equal to the
1,600,000 shares (the “Initial Authorized Shares”).  In addition, in the event of any
cancellation, termination, expiration or forfeiture of any Prior Award on or
after the Effective Date and during the term of the Plan (including any
unvested shares of Common Stock that are forfeited by the holder or repurchased
by the Company pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement at a
price not greater than the original purchase price paid by the holder), the
number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or transferred pursuant to
Awards under the Plan shall be automatically increased by one share for each
share subject to such Prior Award that is so cancelled, terminated, expired,
forfeited or repurchased (collectively, the “Cancelled Prior Award Shares”).  The aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall
be reduced by 1.5 shares for each share of Common Stock delivered in settlement
of any Full Value Award.  In no event,
however, shall the aggregate number of Initial Authorized Shares and Cancelled
Prior Award Shares made available for issuance under the Plan exceed 2,000,000.

(b)           To the extent that an Award
terminates, expires, lapses or is forfeited for any reason, any shares of
Common Stock then subject to such Award shall again be

 7
 

available for the grant of an Award pursuant
to the Plan; provided, however, that the number of shares that shall again be
available for the grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan shall be increased by
1.5 shares for each share of Common Stock subject to a Full Value Award at the
time such Full Value Award terminates, expires, lapses or is forfeited for any
reason.  To the extent permitted by
applicable law or any exchange rule, shares of Common Stock issued in
assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity
acquired in any form of combination by the Company or any Subsidiary shall not
be counted against shares of Common Stock available for grant pursuant to this
Plan.  If any shares of Restricted Stock
are surrendered by the Holder or repurchased by the Company pursuant to Section
7.4 or 7.5 hereof, such shares may again be granted or awarded hereunder,
subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(a). 
To the extent exercised, the full number of shares subject to an Option
or Stock Appreciation Right shall be counted for purposes of calculating the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
available for issuance under the Plan as set forth in Section 2.1(a) and
for purposes of calculating the share limitation set forth in Section 2.3,
regardless of the actual number of shares issued or transferred upon any net
exercise of an Option (in which Common Stock is withheld to satisfy the
exercise price or taxes) or upon exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right for
Common Stock or cash.  The payment of
Dividend Equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding Awards shall
not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the Plan.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 2.1(b), no shares of Common Stock may again be optioned, granted or
awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Stock Option to fail to qualify
as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code.

2.2.          Stock Distributed.  Any Common Stock distributed pursuant to an
Award shall consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Common
Stock, shares of Common Stock held in treasury or shares of Common Stock
purchased on the open market.

2.3.          Limitation on Number of Shares Subject to
Awards.  Notwithstanding any
provision in the Plan to the contrary, and subject to Article XI, the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock with respect to one or more Awards that may be
granted to any one Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director during any
calendar year shall not exceed the Award Limit. 
To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code, shares subject to
Awards which are canceled shall continue to be counted against the Award Limit.

ARTICLE III.

GRANTING OF AWARDS

3.1.          Award Agreement.  Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award
Agreement.  Award Agreements evidencing
Awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation (as described in
Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code) shall contain such terms and conditions as
may be necessary to meet the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the
Code.  Award Agreements evidencing
Incentive Stock Options shall contain such terms and conditions as may be
necessary to meet the applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code.

 8
 

3.2.          Provisions Applicable to Covered
Employees.

(a)           The Committee, in its discretion, may
determine whether an Award is to qualify as performance-based compensation (as
described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code).

(b)           Notwithstanding anything in the Plan
to the contrary, the Committee may grant any Award to a Covered Employee,
including Restricted Stock the restrictions with respect to which lapse upon
the attainment of specified Performance Goals and any performance or incentive
award described in Article VIII that vests or becomes exercisable or payable
upon the attainment of one or more specified Performance Goals.

(c)           To the extent necessary to comply
with the performance-based compensation requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of
the Code, with respect to any Award granted under Articles VII and VIII which
may be granted to one or more Covered Employees, no later than ninety (90) days
following the commencement of any Fiscal Year in question or any other
designated fiscal period or period of service (or such earlier time as may be
required under Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, in writing,
(i) designate one or more Covered Employees, (ii) select the Performance
Criteria applicable to the Fiscal Year or other designated fiscal period or
period of service (including any applicable adjustments), (iii) establish the
various performance targets, in terms of an objective formula or standard, and
amounts of such Awards, as applicable, which may be earned for such Fiscal Year
or other designated fiscal period or period of service, and (iv) specify the
relationship between Performance Criteria and the performance targets and the
amounts of such Awards, as applicable, to be earned by each Covered Employee
for such Fiscal Year or other designated fiscal period or period of
service.  Following the completion of
each Fiscal Year or other designated fiscal period or period of service, the
Committee shall certify in writing whether the applicable performance targets
have been achieved for such Fiscal Year or other designated fiscal period or
period of service.  In determining the
amount earned by a Covered Employee, the Committee shall have the right to
reduce (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance
to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant to
the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the Fiscal Year or
other designated fiscal period or period of service.

(d)           Furthermore, notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan, any Award which is granted to a Covered Employee
and is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation (as described in
Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code) shall be subject to any additional
limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code (including any amendment to
Section 162(m) of the Code) or any regulations or rulings issued thereunder
that are requirements for qualification as performance-based compensation (as
described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code), and the Plan shall be deemed
amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.

3.3.          Limitations Applicable to Section
16 Persons.  Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any
individual who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be
subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive
rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any

 9
 

amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange
Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule.  To the extent permitted by applicable law,
the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the
extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

3.4.          Full Value Award Vesting
Limitations.

(a)           Full Value Awards made under the Plan
shall become vested over a period of not less than (i) three years from the
grant date of the Award for all Full Value Awards that vest based solely on
employment or service with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) one
year following the commencement of the Performance Period, for Full Value
Awards that vest based upon the attainment of Performance Goals or other
performance-based objectives; provided, however,
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, an aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock equal to 5% of the sum of the Initial Authorized Shares and the Cancelled
Prior Award Shares may be granted subject to Full Value Awards granted under
the Plan without respect to the minimum vesting provisions of this Section
3.4(a).

(b)           Following the grant of an Award, the
Administrator, in its discretion and on such terms and conditions it
determines, may provide that the period during which an Award vests or becomes
exercisable shall accelerate, in whole or in part, in connection with a change
in ownership or control of the Company or any Subsidiary (including without
limitation, a Change in Control) or a Holder’s Termination of Employment,
Termination of Directorship or Termination of Consultancy, as applicable, by
reason of the Holder’s retirement, death, disability or termination without
cause.  In addition, the Administrator
may accelerate the vesting or exercisability of Awards with respect to an
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock not exceeding five percent of the
sum of the Initial Authorized Shares and the Cancelled Prior Award Shares at
any time and for any reason.  Except as
permitted under this Section 3.4(b), the Administrator shall not accelerate the
vesting or exercisability of any Award after the grant date of such Award.

3.5.          At-Will Employment.  Nothing in the Plan or in any Award Agreement
hereunder shall confer upon any Holder any right to continue in the employ of,
or as a Consultant for, the Company or any Subsidiary, or as a Director of the
Company, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company
and any Subsidiary, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge
any Holder at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except
to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written employment agreement
between the Holder and the Company and any Subsidiary.

ARTICLE IV.

GRANTING OF OPTIONS TO EMPLOYEES,

CONSULTANTS AND NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

4.1.          Eligibility.  Any Employee or Consultant selected by the
Administrator pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(i) shall be eligible to be
granted an Option.  Each Non-Employee
Director of the Company shall be eligible to be granted Options at the times
and in the manner set forth in Section 4.5 and as provided in Section 4.6.

 10
 

4.2.          Disqualification for Stock
Ownership.  No person may be granted
an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan if such person, at the time the
Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock possessing more than 10% of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any then
existing Subsidiary Corporation or parent corporation (as defined in Section
424(e) of the Code) unless such Incentive Stock Option conforms to the
applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code.

4.3.          Qualification of Incentive Stock
Options.  No Incentive Stock Option
shall be granted to any person who is not an Employee of the Company or a
Subsidiary Corporation.

4.4.          Granting of Options to Employees
and Consultants.

(a)           The Administrator shall from time to
time, in its discretion, and, subject to applicable limitations of the Plan:

(i)            Select from among the Employees or
Consultants (including Employees or Consultants who have previously received
Awards under the Plan) such of them as in its opinion should be granted
Options;

(ii)           Subject to the Award Limit, determine
the number of shares to be subject to such Options granted to the selected
Employees or Consultants;

(iii)          Subject to Section 4.2 and Section
4.3, determine whether such Options are to be Incentive Stock Options or
Non-Qualified Stock Options and whether such Options are to qualify as
performance-based compensation (as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the
Code); and

(iv)          Determine the terms and conditions of
such Options, consistent with the Plan; provided, however,
that the terms and conditions of Options intended to qualify as
performance-based compensation (as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the
Code) shall include, but not be limited to, such terms and conditions as may be
necessary to meet the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code.

(b)           Upon the selection of an Employee or
Consultant to be granted an Option, the Administrator shall instruct the
Secretary of the Company to issue the Option and may impose such conditions on
the grant of the Option as it deems appropriate.

(c)           Any Incentive Stock Option granted
under the Plan may be modified by the Administrator, with the consent of the
Holder, to disqualify such Option from treatment as an “incentive stock option”
under Section 422 of the Code.

 11
 

4.5.          Granting of Options to Non-Employee
Directors.  The Administrator shall
from time to time, in its discretion, and subject to applicable limitations of
the Plan:

(a)           Select from among the Non-Employee
Directors (including Non-Employee Directors who have previously received Awards
under the Plan) such of them as in its opinion should be granted Options;

(b)           Subject to the Award Limit, determine
the number of shares to be subject to such Options granted to the selected
Non-Employee Directors; and

(c)           Subject to the provisions of Article
V, determine the terms and conditions of such Options, consistent with the
Plan.

ARTICLE V.

TERMS OF OPTIONS

5.1.          Option Price.  The price per share of Common Stock subject
to each Option granted to Employees, Non-Employee Directors and Consultants
shall be set by the Administrator; provided, however,
that:

(a)           In the case of Incentive Stock
Options, such price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a
share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted (or the date the Option
is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code);

(b)           In the case of Incentive Stock
Options granted to an individual then owning (within the meaning of Section
424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary Corporation or parent
corporation thereof (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code), such price
shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock
on the date the Option is granted (or the date the Option is modified, extended
or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code); and

(c)           In the case of Non-Qualified Stock
Options, such price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a
share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted.

5.2.          Option Term.  The term of an Option granted to an Employee,
Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be set by the Administrator in its
discretion; provided, however, that the term shall
not be more than ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted, or five
(5) years from the date the Option is granted if the Option is an Incentive
Stock Option granted to an individual then owning (within the meaning of
Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary Corporation or parent
corporation thereof (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code).  Except as limited by requirements of Section
409A or Section 422 of the Code and regulations and rulings thereunder, the Administrator
may extend the term of any outstanding Option in connection with any
Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship or Termination of
Consultancy of

 12
 

the Holder, or amend any other term or
condition of such Option relating to such a Termination of Employment,
Termination of Directorship or Termination of Consultancy.

5.3.          Option Vesting.

(a)           The period during which the right to
exercise, in whole or in part, an Option vests in the Holder shall be set by
the Administrator and the Administrator may determine that an Option may not be
exercised in whole or in part for a specified period after it is granted; provided, however, that, unless the Administrator otherwise
provides in the terms of the Award Agreement or otherwise, no Option granted to
a person subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be exercisable until
at least six months have elapsed following the date on which the Option was
granted.  At any time after grant of an
Option, the Administrator may, in its discretion and subject to whatever terms
and conditions it selects, accelerate the period during which an Option vests,
subject to Section 3.4(b).

(b)           No portion of an Option granted to an
Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director which is unexercisable at
Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship or Termination of
Consultancy, as applicable, shall thereafter become exercisable, except as may
be otherwise provided by the Administrator either in the Award Agreement or by
action of the Administrator following the grant of the Option, subject to
Section 3.4(b).

(c)           To the extent that the aggregate fair
market value of stock with respect to which “incentive stock options” (within
the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, but without regard to Section 422(d) of
the Code) are exercisable for the first time by a Holder during any calendar
year under the Plan, and all other plans of the Company and any Subsidiary
Corporation or parent corporation thereof (as defined in Section 424(e) of the
Code), exceeds $100,000, the Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock
Options to the extent required by Section 422 of the Code.  The rule set forth in the preceding sentence
shall be applied by taking Options and other “incentive stock options” into
account in the order in which they were granted.  For purposes of this Section 5.3(c), the fair
market value of stock shall be determined as of the time the Option or other “incentive
stock options” with respect to such stock is granted.

5.4.          Substitute Awards.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Article V to the contrary, in the case of an Option that is a Substitute
Award, the price per share of the shares subject to such Option may be less
than the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant, provided,
that the excess of:  (a) the aggregate
Fair Market Value (as of the date such Substitute Award is granted) of the
shares subject to the Substitute Award, over (b) the aggregate exercise price
thereof does not exceed the excess of: 
(x) the aggregate fair market value (as of the time immediately
preceding the transaction giving rise to the Substitute Award, such fair market
value to be determined by the Administrator) of the shares of the predecessor
entity that were subject to the grant assumed or substituted for by the
Company, over (y) the aggregate exercise price of such shares.

 13

ARTICLE VI.

EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

6.1.                              Partial
Exercise.  An exercisable Option may
be exercised in whole or in part. 
However, an Option shall not be exercisable with respect to fractional
shares and the Administrator may require that, by the terms of the Option, a
partial exercise be with respect to a minimum number of shares.

6.2.                              Manner
of Exercise.  All or a portion of an
exercisable Option shall be deemed exercised upon delivery of all of the
following to the Secretary of the Company, or such other person or entity
designated by the Administrator, or his, her or its office, as applicable:

(a)                                  A
written notice complying with the applicable rules established by the
Administrator stating that the Option, or a portion thereof, is exercised.  Such rules may provide that for
administrative convenience an Option may not be exercised during such period
(not exceeding 10 days) as is specified in advance by the Administrator.  The notice shall be signed by the Holder or
other person then entitled to exercise the Option or such portion of the
Option;

(b)                                 Such
representations and documents as the Administrator, in its discretion, deems
necessary or advisable to effect compliance with all applicable provisions of
the Securities Act and any other federal, state or foreign securities laws or
regulations.  The Administrator may, in
its discretion, also take whatever additional actions it deems appropriate to
effect such compliance including, without limitation, placing legends on share
certificates and issuing stop-transfer notices to agents and registrars;

(c)                                  In
the event that the Option shall be exercised pursuant to Section 11.1 by any
person or persons other than the Holder, appropriate proof of the right of such
person or persons to exercise the Option; and

(d)                                 Full
cash payment to the Secretary of the Company for the shares with respect to
which the Option, or portion thereof, is exercised.  However, the Administrator may, in its
discretion, (i)  allow payment, in whole or in part, through the delivery
of shares of Common Stock which have been owned by the Holder for at least six
months, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company with a Fair Market Value on
the date of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or
exercised portion thereof; (ii) allow payment, in whole or in part,
through the surrender of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of
the Option having a Fair Market Value on the date of Option exercise equal to
the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised portion thereof;
(iii) allow payment, in whole or in part, through the delivery of property
of any kind which constitutes good and valuable consideration; (iv) allow
payment, in whole or in part, through the delivery of a notice that the Holder
has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to shares of Common
Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and the broker timely pays a
sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in
satisfaction of the Option exercise price; or 

 14
 

(v) allow payment through any combination of the consideration
provided in the foregoing subparagraphs (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv); provided, however, that the payment in the manner prescribed
in the preceding paragraphs shall not be permitted to the extent that the
Administrator determines that payment in such manner shall result in an
extension or maintenance of credit, an arrangement for the extension of credit,
or a renewal or an extension of credit in the form of a personal loan to or for
any Director or executive officer of the Company that is prohibited by Section
13(k) of the Exchange Act or other applicable law.

6.3.                              Conditions
to Issuance of Stock Certificates. 
The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or
certificates for shares of stock purchased upon the exercise of any Option or
portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

(a)                                  The
admission of such shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such class
of stock is then listed;

(b)                                 The
completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any
federal, state or foreign law, or under the rulings or regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body
which the Administrator shall, in its discretion, deem necessary or advisable;

(c)                                  The
obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any federal, state or foreign
governmental agency which the Administrator shall, in its discretion, determine
to be necessary or advisable;

(d)                                 The
lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as
the Administrator may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative
convenience; and

(e)                                  The
receipt by the Company of full payment for such shares, including payment of
any applicable withholding tax, which in the discretion of the Administrator
may be in the form of consideration used by the Holder to pay for such shares
under Section 6.2(d).

6.4.                              Rights
as Stockholders.  Holders shall not
be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, stockholders of the Company in
respect of any shares purchasable upon the exercise of any part of an Option
unless and until certificates representing such shares have been issued by the
Company to such Holders.

6.5.                              Ownership
and Transfer Restrictions.  The
Administrator, in its discretion, may impose such restrictions on the ownership
and transferability of the shares purchasable upon the exercise of an Option as
it deems appropriate.  Any such
restriction shall be set forth in the respective Award Agreement and may be
referred to on the certificates evidencing such shares.  The Holder shall give the Company prompt
notice of any disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired by exercise of an
Incentive Stock Option within (a) two years from the date of granting
(including the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of
Section 424(h) 

 15
 

of the Code) such Option to such Holder, or
(b) one year after the transfer of such shares to such Holder.

6.6.                              Additional
Limitations on Exercise of Options. 
Holders may be required to comply with any timing or other restrictions
with respect to the settlement or exercise of an Option, including a
window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Administrator.

ARTICLE VII.

AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK

7.1.                              Eligibility.  Subject to the Award Limit, Restricted Stock
may be awarded to any Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director who the
Administrator determines should receive such an Award.

7.2.                              Award
of Restricted Stock.

(a)                                  The
Administrator may from time to time, in its discretion:

(i)                                     Select
from among the Employees, Non-Employee Directors or Consultants (including
Employees, Non-Employee Directors or Consultants who have previously received
Awards under the Plan) such of them as in its opinion should be awarded
Restricted Stock; and

(ii)                                  Determine
the purchase price, if any, and other terms and conditions applicable to such
Restricted Stock, consistent with the Plan.

(b)                                 The
Administrator shall establish the purchase price, if any, and form of payment
for Restricted Stock; provided, however,
that such purchase price shall be no less than the par value of the Common
Stock to be purchased, unless otherwise permitted by applicable state law.  In all cases, legal consideration shall be
required for each issuance of Restricted Stock.

(c)                                  Upon
the selection of an Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director to be awarded
Restricted Stock, the Administrator shall instruct the Secretary of the Company
to issue such Restricted Stock and may impose such conditions on the issuance
of such Restricted Stock as it deems appropriate.

7.3.                              Rights
as Stockholders.  Subject to Section
7.4, upon delivery of the shares of Restricted Stock to the escrow holder
pursuant to Section 7.6, the Holder shall have, unless otherwise provided by
the Administrator, all the rights of a stockholder with respect to said shares,
subject to the restrictions in his or her Award Agreement, including the right
to receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect to
the shares; provided, however,
that, in the discretion of the Administrator, any extraordinary distributions
with respect to the Common Stock shall be subject to the restrictions set forth
in Section 7.4.

 16
 

7.4.                              Restriction.  All shares of Restricted Stock issued under
the Plan (including any shares received by Holders thereof with respect to
shares of Restricted Stock as a result of stock dividends, stock splits or any
other form of recapitalization) shall, in the terms of each individual Award
Agreement, be subject to such restrictions as the Administrator shall provide,
which restrictions may include, without limitation, restrictions concerning
voting rights and transferability and restrictions based on duration of
employment, directorship or consultancy with the Company, Company performance
and individual performance; provided,
however, by action taken after the Restricted Stock is issued, the
Administrator may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine to be
appropriate, remove any or all of the restrictions imposed by the terms of the
Award Agreement.  Restricted Stock may
not be sold or encumbered until all restrictions are terminated or expire.  If no consideration was paid by the Holder
upon issuance, a Holder’s rights in unvested Restricted Stock shall lapse, and
such Restricted Stock shall be surrendered to the Company without
consideration, upon Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship, or
Termination of Consultancy, as applicable; provided,
however, that the Administrator in its discretion may provide that
such rights shall not lapse in the event of a Termination of Employment,
Termination of Directorship or Termination of Consultancy, as applicable,
following a Change in Control or because of the Holder’s retirement, death or
disability or termination without cause, or otherwise, subject to Section
3.4(b).

7.5.                              Repurchase
of Restricted Stock.  The
Administrator shall provide in the terms of each individual Award Agreement
that the Company shall have the right to repurchase from the Holder the
Restricted Stock then subject to restrictions under the Award Agreement
immediately upon a Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship, or
Termination of Consultancy, as applicable, at a cash price per share equal to
the price paid by the Holder for such Restricted Stock; provided, however, that the Administrator
in its discretion may provide that such rights shall not lapse in the event of
a Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship or Termination of
Consultancy, as applicable, following a Change in Control or because of the
Holder’s retirement, death or disability or termination without cause, or
otherwise, subject to Section 3.4(b).

7.6.                              Escrow.  The Secretary of the Company or such other
escrow holder as the Administrator may appoint shall retain physical custody of
each certificate representing Restricted Stock until all of the restrictions
imposed under the Award Agreement with respect to the shares evidenced by such
certificate expire or shall have been removed.

7.7.                              Legend.  In order to enforce the restrictions imposed
upon shares of Restricted Stock hereunder, the Administrator shall cause a
legend or legends to be placed on certificates representing all shares of
Restricted Stock that are still subject to restrictions under Award Agreements,
which legend or legends shall make appropriate reference to the conditions
imposed thereby.

7.8.                              Section
83(b) Election.  If a Holder makes an
election under Section 83(b) of the Code, or any successor section thereto, to
be taxed with respect to the Restricted Stock as of the date of transfer of the
Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates upon which the Holder
would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, the Holder shall
deliver a copy of such election to the Company immediately after filing such
election with the Internal Revenue Service.

(a)                                  Any
Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director selected by the Administrator may
be granted one or more Performance Awards. 
The value of such Performance Awards may be linked to any one or more of
the Performance Criteria or other specific performance criteria determined
appropriate by the Administrator, in each case on a specified date or dates or
over any period or periods determined by the Administrator.  In making such determinations, the
Administrator shall consider (among such other factors as it deems relevant in
light of the specific type of award) the contributions, responsibilities and
other compensation of the particular Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee
Director.

(b)                                 Without
limiting Section 8.2(a), the Administrator may grant Performance Awards to any
Covered Employee in the form of a cash bonus payable upon the attainment of
objective Performance Goals which are established by the Administrator, in each
case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by
the Administrator.  Any such bonuses paid
to Covered Employees shall be based upon objectively determinable bonus
formulas established in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2.  The maximum aggregate amount of all
Performance Awards granted to a Covered Employee under this Section 8.2(b)
during any calendar year  shall not
exceed the Award Limit.  Unless otherwise
specified by the Administrator at the time of grant, the Performance Criteria
with respect to a Performance Award payable to a Covered Employee shall be
determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles.

8.3.                              Dividend
Equivalents.  Any Employee,
Consultant or Non-Employee Director selected by the Administrator may be
granted Dividend Equivalents based on the dividends declared on Common Stock,
to be credited as of dividend payment dates, during the period between the date
a Full Value Award is granted and the date such Full Value Award vests, is
exercised, is distributed or expires, as determined by the Administrator.  Such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted
to cash or additional shares of Common Stock by such formula and at such time
and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Administrator.

8.4.                              Stock
Payments.  Any Employee, Consultant
or Non-Employee Director selected by the Administrator may receive Stock
Payments in the manner determined from time to time by the Administrator.  The number of shares shall be determined by
the Administrator and may be based upon the Performance Criteria or other
specific performance criteria determined appropriate by the Administrator,
determined on the date such Stock Payment is made or on any date thereafter.

 18
 

8.5.                              Deferred
Stock.  Any Employee, Consultant or
Non-Employee Director selected by the Administrator may be granted an award of
Deferred Stock in the manner determined from time to time by the
Administrator.  The number of shares of
Deferred Stock shall be determined by the Administrator and may be linked to
the satisfaction of one or more Performance Goals or other specific performance
goals as the Administrator determines to be appropriate at the time of grant,
in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods
determined by the Administrator.  Common
Stock underlying a Deferred Stock award will not be issued until the Deferred
Stock award has vested, pursuant to a vesting schedule or performance criteria
set by the Administrator.  Unless
otherwise provided by the Administrator, a Holder of Deferred Stock shall have
no rights as a Company stockholder with respect to such Deferred Stock until
such time as the Award has vested and the Common Stock underlying the Award has
been issued.

8.6.                              Restricted
Stock Units.  Any Employee, Consultant
or Non-Employee Director selected by the Administrator may be granted an award
of Restricted Stock Units in the manner determined from time to time by the
Administrator.  The Administrator is
authorized to make awards of Restricted Stock Units in such amounts and subject
to such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator.  The Administrator shall specify the date or
dates on which the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested and
nonforfeitable, and may specify such conditions to vesting as it deems
appropriate, and may specify that such Restricted Stock Units become fully
vested and nonforfeitable pursuant to the satisfaction of one or more
Performance Goals or other specific performance goals as the Administrator
determines to be appropriate at the time of the grant, in each case on a
specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the
Administrator.  The Administrator shall
specify the distribution dates applicable to each award of Restricted Stock
Units which shall be no earlier than the vesting dates or events of the award
and may be determined at the election of the Employee, Consultant or
Non-Employee Director, subject to compliance with Section 409A of the
Code.  On the distribution dates, the
Company shall issue to the Holder one unrestricted, fully transferable share of
Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit distributed.

8.7.                              Term.  The term of a Performance Award, Dividend
Equivalent Award, Deferred Stock Award, Stock Payment Award and/or Restricted
Stock Unit Award shall be set by the Administrator in its discretion.

8.8.                              Exercise
or Purchase Price.  The Administrator
may establish the exercise or purchase price of a Performance Award, shares of
Deferred Stock, shares distributed as a Stock Payment Award or shares
distributed pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Award; provided, however, that such price shall
not be less than the par value of a share of Common Stock, unless otherwise
permitted by applicable state law.

8.9.                              Exercise
upon Termination of Employment, Termination of Consultancy or Termination of
Directorship.  A Performance Award,
Dividend Equivalent Award, Deferred Stock Award, Stock Payment Award and/or
Restricted Stock Unit Award is exercisable or distributable only while the
Holder is an Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director, as applicable; provided, however, that the Administrator
in its discretion may provide that the Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent
Award, Deferred Stock Award, Stock Payment Award and/or Restricted Stock Unit
Award may be exercised or distributed subsequent to a Termination 

 19
 

of Employment, Termination of Directorship or
Termination of Consultancy following a “change of control or ownership” (within
the meaning of Section 1.162-27(e)(2)(v) or any successor regulation thereto)
of the Company; and, provided, further,
that, except with respect to Performance Awards granted to Covered Employees,
the Administrator in its discretion may provide that Performance Awards may be
exercised or paid following a Termination of Employment, Termination of
Directorship or Termination of Consultancy, as applicable, following a Change
in Control, or because of the Holder’s retirement, death or disability or
termination without cause, or otherwise, subject to Section 3.4(b).

8.10.                        Form of
Payment.  Payment of the amount
determined under Section 8.2 or 8.3 above shall be in cash, in Common Stock or
a combination of both, as determined by the Administrator.  To the extent any payment under this Article

all provisions of Section 6.3.

ARTICLE IX.

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

9.1.                              Grant
of Stock Appreciation Rights.  A
Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to any Employee, Consultant or
Non-Employee Director selected by the Administrator.  A Stock Appreciation Right may be
granted:  (a) in connection and
simultaneously with the grant of an Option, or (b) independent of an
Option.  A Stock Appreciation Right shall
be subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the
Administrator shall impose and shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.

9.2.                              Coupled
Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a)                                  A
Coupled Stock Appreciation Right (“CSAR”) shall be related to a
particular Option and shall be exercisable only when and to the extent the
related Option is exercisable.

(b)                                 A
CSAR may be granted to the Holder for no more than the number of shares subject
to the simultaneously granted Option to which it is coupled.

(c)                                  A
CSAR shall entitle the Holder (or other person entitled to exercise the Option
pursuant to the Plan) to surrender to the Company unexercised a portion of the
Option to which the CSAR relates (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to
its terms) and to receive from the Company in exchange therefor an amount
determined by multiplying (i) the difference obtained by subtracting the
exercise price per share of the CSAR from (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share
of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the CSAR by the number of shares of
Common Stock with respect to which the CSAR shall have been exercised, subject
to any limitations the Administrator may impose.

9.3.                              Independent
Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a)                                  An
Independent Stock Appreciation Right (“ISAR”) shall be unrelated to any
Option and shall have a term set by the Administrator in its discretion; provided,

 20
 

however, that the
term shall not be more than ten (10) years from the date the ISAR is
granted.  An ISAR shall be exercisable in
such installments as the Administrator may determine.  An ISAR shall cover such number of shares of
Common Stock as the Administrator may determine; provided,
however, that unless the Administrator otherwise provides in the
terms of the Award Agreement or otherwise, no ISAR granted to a person subject
to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be exercisable until at least six
months have elapsed following the date on which the ISAR was granted.  The exercise price per share of Common Stock
subject to each ISAR shall be set by the Administrator; provided,
that such exercise price per share shall not be less than 100% of the Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the ISAR is granted.  An ISAR is exercisable only while the Holder
is an Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director; provided,
that the Administrator may provide that ISARs may be exercised following a
Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship or Termination of
Consultancy, as applicable, or following a Change in Control, or because of the
Holder’s retirement, death or disability or termination without cause, or
otherwise, subject to Section 3.4(b).

(b)                                 An
ISAR shall entitle the Holder (or other person entitled to exercise the ISAR
pursuant to the Plan) to exercise all or a specified portion of the ISAR (to
the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the
Company an amount determined by multiplying (i) the difference obtained by
subtracting the exercise price per share of the ISAR from the Fair Market Value
of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the ISAR by (ii) the
number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the ISAR shall have been
exercised, subject to any limitations the Administrator may impose.

9.4.                              Payment
and Limitations on Exercise.

(a)                                  Payment
of the amounts determined under Section 9.2(c) and 9.3(b) above shall be in
cash, shares of Common Stock (based on its Fair Market Value as of the date the
Stock Appreciation Right is exercised), or a combination of both, as determined
by the Administrator.  The Company shall
not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for shares
of stock issuable upon the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right prior to
fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 6.3 above.

(b)                                 Holders
of Stock Appreciation Rights may be required to comply with any timing or other
restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of a Stock Appreciation
Right, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the
discretion of the Administrator.

protected by the Company in respect of any such action, determination or
interpretation.

of Authority to Grant Awards.  To the
extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may, but need not, delegate
from time to time some or all of its authority to grant Awards under the Plan
to a committee or committees consisting of one or more members of the Board
and/or one or more officers of the Company; provided,
however, that the authority to grant awards to the following
individuals may not be delegated:  (a)
individuals who are subject to the reporting rules under Section 16(a) of the

Award has been exercised, or the shares underlying such Award have been issued,
and all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed;

(ii)                                  No
Award or interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or

attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except
to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence; and

(iii)                               During
the lifetime of the Holder, only the Holder may exercise an Option or other
Award (or any portion thereof) granted to him under the Plan, unless it has
been disposed of pursuant to a DRO; after the death of the Holder, any
exercisable portion of an Option or other Award may, prior to the time when
such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Award
Agreement, be exercised by his personal representative or by any person
empowered to do so under the deceased Holder’s will or under the then

Permitted Transferee shall continue to be subject to all the terms and
conditions of the Non-Qualified Stock Option as applicable to the original
Holder (other than the ability to further transfer the Non-Qualified Stock

any time or from time to time by the Board, or the Compensation Committee of
the Board.  However, without approval of
the Company’s stockholders given within twelve (12) months before or after the
action by the Administrator, no action of the Administrator may, except as
provided in Section 11.3, (i) increase the limits imposed in Section 2.1 on the
maximum number of shares which may be issued under the Plan, (ii) decrease,
directly or indirectly, the exercise price of any outstanding Option or Stock
Appreciation Right granted under the Plan (including any action having the same
effect, such as a cancellation of an underwater Option or Stock Appreciation
Right and regrant of a new Award at a lesser exercise price or the repurchase
of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right for an amount greater than the
intrinsic value of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right), or (iii) result in
a material change in eligibility requirements. 
Except as provided in Section 11.12, no amendment, suspension or
termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Holder, alter or
impair any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted or
awarded, unless the Award itself otherwise expressly so provides.  No Awards may be granted or awarded during
any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan, and in no event may
any Award be granted under the Plan after the first to occur of the following

in Common Stock or Assets of the Company, Acquisition or Liquidation of the
Company and Other Corporate Events.

(a)                                  Subject

to Sections 11.3(c) and 11.3(e), in the event of any transaction or event
described in Section 11.3(a) or any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or
events affecting the Company, any affiliate of the Company, or the financial
statements of the Company or any affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws,
regulations or accounting principles, the Administrator, in its discretion, and
on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of
the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or
event and either automatically or upon the Holder’s request, is hereby
authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the
Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent

laws, regulations or principles:

realization of the Holder’s rights had such Award been currently exercisable or
payable or fully vested;

(ii)                                  To
provide for the replacement of such Award with other rights or property

provide that the Award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such
event;

provide that such Award shall be exercisable as to all shares covered thereby,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.3 or the provisions of
such Award;

(v)                                 To
provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or

rights or awards covering the stock of the 

 25
 

successor or survivor
corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as
to the number and kind of shares and prices;

(vi)                              To

the event of a Change in Control, then: (i) any surviving or acquiring
corporation shall assume the Awards outstanding under the Plan or shall
substitute similar Awards (including an option to acquire the same
consideration paid to the stockholders of the Company in the Change in Control
transaction) for those outstanding under the Plan, (ii) in the event that any
surviving or acquiring corporation does assume such Awards or substitute
similar Awards for those outstanding under the Plan, then, with respect to a
Holder’s Award, upon such Holder’s Voluntary Termination with Good Reason (as
defined below) or such Holder’s Involuntary Termination without Cause (as
defined below), the vesting of such Award and the time during which such Award
may be exercised shall be accelerated upon the occurrence of such event, or
(iii) in the event any surviving or acquiring corporation refuses to assume
such Awards or to substitute similar Awards for those outstanding under the
Plan, then, with respect to Awards held by persons then performing services as
Employees, Directors or Consultants, the vesting of such Awards and the time
during which such Awards may be exercised shall be accelerated prior to such
event and the Awards terminated if not exercised after such acceleration and at

(d)                                 Subject
to Sections 11.3(e) and 3.2, the Administrator may, in its discretion, include
such further provisions and limitations in any Award, agreement or certificate,
as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company.

(e)                                  With
respect to Awards which are granted to Covered Employees and are intended to
qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m)(4)(C), no
adjustment or action described in this Section 11.3 or in any other provision
of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action
would cause such Award to fail to so qualify under Section 162(m)(4)(C), or any
successor provisions thereto.  No
adjustment or action described in this Section 11.3 or in any other provision
of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action
would cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code.  Furthermore, no such adjustment or action

short-swing profits liability under Section 16 or violate the exemptive
conditions of Rule 16b-3 unless the Administrator determines that the Award is
not to comply with such exemptive conditions.

be rounded down to the next whole number.

(f)                                    The
existence of the Plan, the Award Agreement and the Awards granted hereunder
shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Company or
the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment,
recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital
structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any
issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds,
debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to
or 

 27
 

affect the Common Stock or the rights thereof
or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the
dissolution or liquidation of the company, or any sale or transfer of all or
any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding,
whether of a similar character or otherwise.

(g)                                 No
action shall be taken under this Section 11.3 which shall cause an Award to
fail to comply with Section 409A of the Code or the Treasury Regulations
thereunder, to the extent applicable to such Award.

11.4.                        Approval
of Plan by Stockholders.  The Plan
will be submitted for the approval of the Company’s stockholders within twelve
(12) months after the date of the Board’s initial adoption of the Plan.  No Awards may be granted or awarded prior to
such stockholder approval.  In addition,
if the Board determines that Awards other than Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights which may be granted to Covered Employees should continue to be eligible
to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the
Code, the Performance Criteria must be disclosed to and approved by the Company’s
stockholders no later than the first stockholder meeting that occurs in the
fifth year following the year in which the Company’s stockholders previously
approved the Plan.

11.5.                        Tax
Withholding.  The Company or any
Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or
require a Holder to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy
federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including the Holder’s FICA
obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning
a Holder arising as a result of this Plan. 
The Administrator may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the
foregoing requirement allow a Holder to elect to have the Company withhold
shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the return
of shares of Common Stock) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums
required to be withheld.  Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock which may
be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any
Award (or which may be repurchased from the Holder of such Award within six
months (or such other period as may be determined by the Administrator) after
such shares of Common Stock were acquired by the Holder from the Company) in
order to satisfy the Holder’s federal, state, local and foreign income and
payroll tax liabilities with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or
payment of the Award shall be limited to the number of shares which have a Fair
Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate
amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for
federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are
applicable to such supplemental taxable income.

11.6.                        Prohibition
on Repricing.  Subject to Section
11.3, the Administrator shall not, without the approval of the stockholders of
the Company, authorize the amendment of any outstanding Award to reduce its
price per share.  Furthermore, no Award
shall be canceled and replaced with the grant of an Award having a lesser price
per share without the further approval of stockholders of the Company.  Subject to Section 11.2, the Administrator
shall have the authority, without the approval of the stockholders of the
Company, to amend any outstanding award to increase the price per share or to
cancel and replace an Award with the grant of an Award having a price per share
that is greater than or equal to the price per share of the original Award.

 28
 

11.7.                        Forfeiture
Provisions.  Pursuant to its general
authority to determine the terms and conditions applicable to Awards under the
Plan, the Administrator shall have the right to provide, in the terms of Awards
made under the Plan, or to require a Holder to agree by separate written
instrument, that:  (a)(i) any proceeds,
gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by the
Holder upon any receipt or exercise of the Award, or upon the receipt or resale
of any Common Stock underlying the Award, must be paid to the Company, and (ii)
the Award shall terminate and any unexercised portion of the Award (whether or
not vested) shall be forfeited, if (b)(i) a Termination of Employment,
Termination of Directorship or Termination of Consultancy occurs prior to a
specified date, or within a specified time period following receipt or exercise
of the Award, or (ii) the Holder at any time, or during a specified time
period, engages in any activity in competition with the Company, or which is
inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company, as further
defined by the Administrator or (iii) the Holder incurs a Termination of
Employment, Termination of Directorship or Termination of Consultancy for “cause”
(as such term is defined in the discretion of the Administrator, or as set
forth in a written agreement relating to such Award between the Company and the
Holder).

11.8.                        Effect
of Plan upon Other Compensation Plans. 
The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other compensation or
incentive plans in effect for the Company or any Subsidiary.  Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to
limit the right of the Company or any Subsidiary:  (a) to establish any other forms of
incentives or compensation for Employees, Directors or Consultants of the Company
or any Subsidiary, or (b) to grant or assume options or other rights or
awards otherwise than under the Plan in connection with any proper corporate
purpose including without limitation, the grant or assumption of options in
connection with the acquisition by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or
otherwise, of the business, stock or assets of any corporation, partnership,
limited liability company, firm or association.

11.9.                        Compliance
with Laws.  The Plan, the granting
and vesting of Awards under the Plan and the issuance and delivery of shares of
Common Stock and the payment of money under the Plan or under Awards granted or
awarded hereunder are subject to compliance with all applicable federal, state,
local and foreign laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to
federal, state and foreign securities law and margin requirements) and to such
approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection
therewith.  Any securities delivered
under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the person acquiring
such securities shall, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and
representations to the Company as the Company may deem necessary or desirable
to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements.  To the extent permitted by applicable law,
the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the
extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

11.10.                  Titles.  Titles are provided herein for convenience
only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of the
Plan.

11.11.                  Governing Law.  The Plan and any agreements hereunder shall
be administered, interpreted and enforced under the internal laws of the State
of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws thereof.

 29
 

11.12.                  Section
409A.  To the extent that the
Administrator determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to
Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall
incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be
interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of
Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder,
including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be
issued after the Effective Date. 
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event
that following the Effective Date the Administrator determines that any Award
may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury
guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after
the Effective Date), the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan
and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures
(including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or
take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or
appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or
preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to
the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and
related Department of Treasury guidance.
