    This Note is the promissory note referred to in Section 6.8 of the Stock
    Purchase Agreement dated as of November 28, 2000, among the Debtor and the
    Payee, among others, and is entitled to all of the benefits thereunder. The
    principal of this Note represents U.S. $11,770,000.00 advanced by the Payee
    to the Debtor, together with U.S. $1,779,000.00 in interest accrued thereon
    to the date hereof.

               1.     Subordination.

               The Debtor and the Payee hereby covenant and agree that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, the payment of
the principal of and interest on this Note expressly hereby is subordinated in
right of payment to the prior payment or provision for payment in full of all
present and future Senior Indebtedness of the Debtor and all renewals,
extensions and refundings of any such Senior Indebtedness. As used herein, the
term "Senior Indebtedness" shall mean the principal of, and interest on, and all
other amounts due on or in connection with, any liability of the Debtor for
money borrowed from a bank or other financial institution, whether now existing
or hereafter incurred. The Payee shall take such further actions, including the
execution of additional subordination agreements, as may be required by any bank
or other financial institution in order to provide further assurances of the
subordination of this Note to all Senior Indebtedness.

               In the event of any distribution of assets of the Debtor upon the
dissolution, liquidation, winding up or reorganization of the Debtor, whether
voluntary or involuntary, and whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership
proceedings, or upon the assignment for the benefit of creditors, sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Debtor or the marshalling of the assets
and liabilities of the Debtor, no amount shall be paid by the Debtor hereunder
to the Payee, unless and until all other indebtedness to which this Note is
subordinated shall have been paid in full, or otherwise discharged, or provision
for payment shall have been otherwise made, together with all interest thereon
and all other amounts payable in respect thereof, and the Debtor and any
receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of the Debtor shall make any payments to which
the Payee would otherwise be entitled but for the subordination provisions
hereof directly to the holders of such other indebtedness ratably and to the
extent necessary to pay in full all such other indebtedness, together with
interest thereon and other amounts payable in respect thereof.

               Upon the happening of an event of default (or if an event of
default would result upon any payment with respect to this Note) with respect to
any Senior Indebtedness, as such event of default is defined therein or in the
instrument under which it is outstanding, permitting the holders to accelerate
the maturity thereof, and if the default is other than default in payment of the
principal of or interest on such Senior Indebtedness, upon written notice
thereof given to the undersigned by the

                                     -109-
<PAGE>   3

holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative, then, unless and
until such event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased
to exist, no payment shall be made by the Debtor with respect to the principal
of or interest on this Note.

               In the event the Payee shall receive payment, from any source or
in any manner, of any amount in respect of the principal of or interest on this
Note, or in respect of a transfer or assignment of this Note to the Debtor or
any subsidiary of the Debtor, at a time when, pursuant to the subordination
provisions hereof, the Payee is not entitled to receive payment of such amount,
the Payee shall receive and hold such payment in trust for the holders of all
other indebtedness to which this Note is subordinated and shall on demand pay to
or for the account of the holders of all such other indebtedness ratably and to
the extent necessary to pay in full all such other indebtedness, together with
interest thereon and other amounts payable in receipt thereof, the amount, but
not to exceed the amount, so received.

               Subject to the payment in full of all indebtedness of the Debtor
to which this Note is subordinate, the Payee shall be subrogated to the rights
of the holders of such other indebtedness to receive payment or distribution of
assets of the Debtor applicable to such other indebtedness until this Note shall
be paid in full, and no such payments or distributions to the holders of such
other indebtedness to which this Note is subordinate shall, as between the
Debtor and the Payee, be deemed to be a payment by the Debtor to, or on account
of, this Note, it being understood that the subordination provisions of this
Note are, and are intended solely for the purpose of, defining the relative
rights of the Payee, on the one hand, and the holder of other indebtedness to
which this Note is subordinate, on the other hand, and nothing contained herein
is intended to or shall impair, as between the Debtor and the Payee, the
obligation of the Debtor, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the
Payee the principal of and interest on this Note as and when the same shall
become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof.

               The Payee, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges and agrees that
each holder of indebtedness to which this Note is subordinated shall be deemed
to have acquired such indebtedness in reliance upon the subordination provisions
of this Note.

               3.     Waivers.

               The Debtor, for itself and its legal representatives, successors
and assigns, expressly waives presentment, protest, demand, notice of dishonor,
notice of nonpayment, notice of maturity, notice of protest, presentment for the
purpose of accelerating maturity, and diligence in collection of every kind and
to the fullest extent permitted by law, the right to plead any statute of
limitations as a defense of any

demand hereunder, and consents that the Payee may extend the time for payment or
otherwise modify the terms of payment of any part or the whole of the debt
evidenced hereby.

               4.     Governing Law.

               This Note in all respects shall be governed by and construed
under the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made and to be
performed wholly within that state.

               5.     Assignment.

               The Payee may assign its right, title and interest in and to this
Note to any person who controls, is controlled by or is under common control
with the Payee in connection with its own liquidation and dissolution, and the
term "Payee" shall be deemed to include any such person.

               Executed at Los Angeles, California as of the 1st day of
December, 2000.

                  4.4 Address of Committee. The Committee's address to which any

                           Attention:    Chief Financial Officer

determine whether such Options shall be Incentive Stock

                                       2
<PAGE>

Options within the meaning of the Code ("ISOs") or Nonqualified Stock Options
("NQSOs"), the number of Shares subject to the Option, the Exercise Price of the
Option, the period during which the Option may be exercised, and all other terms
and conditions of the Option, subject to the following:

                  5.1 Form of Option Grant. Each Option granted under the Plan
shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement which shall expressly identify the
Option as an ISO or NQSO ("Stock Option Agreement"), and be in such form and
contain such provisions (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the
Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, shall from time to time approve,
and which shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan.

                  5.2 Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option shall be the
date on which the Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, makes the
determination to grant such Option, unless otherwise specified by the Board,
upon recommendation of the Committee. The Stock Option Agreement and a copy of
the Plan will be delivered to the Participant within a reasonable time after the
granting of the Option.

                  5.3 Exercise Period. Options shall be exercisable within the
times or upon the events determined by Board, upon recommendation of the
Committee, as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement; provided, however, that
no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the
date the Option is granted, and provided further that no Option granted to a
person who directly or by attribution owns more than ten percent (10%) of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent
or Subsidiary of the Company ("Ten Percent Shareholder") shall be exercisable
after the expiration of five (5) years from the date the Option is granted. The
Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, also may provide for the exercise
of Options to become exercisable at one time or from time to time, periodically
or otherwise, in such number or percentage as the Board, upon recommendation of
the Committee, determines.

                  5.4 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be determined by
the Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, when the Option is granted and
may be not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of the
Shares on the date of grant; provided that (i) the Exercise Price of an ISO
shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of
the Shares on the date of grant; (ii) the Exercise Price of any Option granted
to a Ten Percent Shareholder shall not be less than one hundred ten percent
(110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant; and (iii)
the Exercise Price of any option granted that the Board intends to qualify under
Section 162(m) of the Code, shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of
the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. Payment for the Shares
purchased may be made in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan.

                  5.5 Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised only by
delivery to the Company of a written stock option exercise agreement (the
"Exercise Agreement") in a form approved by the Committee (which need not be the
same for each Participant), stating the number of Shares being purchased, the
restrictions imposed on the Shares, if any, and such representations and
agreements regarding Participant's investment intent and access to information
and other matters, if any, as may be required or desirable by the Company to
comply with applicable securities laws, together with payment in full of the
Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.

                  5.6 Termination. Notwithstanding the exercise periods set
forth in the Stock Option Agreement, exercise of an Option shall always be
subject to the following:

                           (a)  If the Participant is Terminated for any reason
                                except death or Disability, then Participant may
                                exercise such Participant's Options only to the
                                extent that such Options would have been
                                exercisable upon the Termination Date no later
                                than three (3) months after the Termination Date
                                (or such shorter time period as may be specified
                                in the Stock Option Agreement), but in any
                                event, no later than the expiration date of the
                                Options.

                                       3
<PAGE>

                           (b)  If the Participant is terminated because of
                                death or Disability (or the Participant dies
                                within three (3) months of such termination),
                                then Participant's Options may be exercised only
                                to the extent that such Options would have been
                                exercisable by Participant on the Termination
                                Date and must be exercised by Participant (or
                                Participant's legal representative or authorized
                                assignee) no later than twelve (12) months after
                                the Termination Date (or such shorter time
                                period as may be specified in the Stock Option
                                Agreement), but in any event no later than the
                                expiration date of the Options; provided,
                                however, that in the event of termination due to
                                Disability other than as defined in Section
                                22(e)(3) of the Code, any ISO that remains
                                exercisable after ninety (90) days after the
                                date of termination shall be deemed a NQSO.

                  5.7 Limitations on Exercise. The Committee may specify a
reasonable minimum number of Shares that may be purchased on any exercise of an
Option, provided that such minimum number will not prevent Participant from
exercising the Option for the full number of Shares for which it is then
exercisable.

                  5.8 Limitations on ISOs. The aggregate Fair Market Value
(determined as of the date of grant) of Shares with respect to which ISOs are
exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under
the Plan or under any other incentive stock option plan of the Company or any
Affiliate, Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) shall not exceed One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000). If the Fair Market Value of Shares on the date of
grant with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a
Participant during any calendar year exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000), the Options for the first One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000)
worth of Shares to become exercisable in such calendar year shall be ISOs and
the Options for the amount in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000)
that become exercisable in that calendar year shall be NQSOs. In the event that
the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder are amended after the
Effective Date of the Plan to provide for a different limit on the Fair Market
Value of Shares permitted to be subject to SOs, such different limit shall be
automatically incorporated herein and shall apply to any Options granted after
the effective date of such amendment.

                  5.9 Modification. Extension or Renewal. The Board, upon
recommendation of the Committee, may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options
and authorize the grant of new Options in substitution therefor, provided that
any such action may not without the written consent of Participant, impair any
of Participant's rights under any Option previously granted. Any outstanding ISO
that is modified, extended, renewed or otherwise altered shall be treated in
accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code. The Committee may reduce the
Exercise Price of outstanding Options without the consent of Participants
affected by a written notice to them; provided, however, that the Exercise Price
may not be reduced below the minimum Exercise price that would be permitted
under Section 5.4 of the Plan for Options granted on the date the action is
taken to reduce the Exercise Price.

                  5.10 No Disqualification. Notwithstanding any other provision
in the Plan, no term of the Plan relating to ISOs shall be interpreted,
amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan
be exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code or,
without the consent of the Participant affected, to disqualify any ISO under
Section 422 of the Code.

         6. Restricted Stock. A Restricted Stock Award is an offer by the
Company to sell to an eligible person Shares that are subject to restrictions.
The Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, shall determine to whom an
offer will be made, the number of Shares the person may purchase, the price to
be paid (the "Purchase Price"), the restrictions to which the Shares shall be
subject, and all other terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Award,
subject to the following:

                  6.1 Form of Restricted Stock Award. All purchases under a
Restricted Stock Award made pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award
Agreement ("Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement") that shall be in such form
(which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Board, upon
recommendation of the

                                       4
<PAGE>

Committee, shall from time to time approve, and shall comply with and be subject
to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The offer of Restricted Stock shall be
accepted by the Participant's execution and delivery of the Restricted Stock
Purchase Agreement and full payment for the shares to the Company within thirty
(30) days from the date the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement is delivered to
the person. If such person does not execute and deliver the Restricted Stock
Purchase Agreement along with full payment for the Shares to the Company within
thirty (30) days, then the offer shall terminate, unless otherwise determined by
the Committee.

                  6.2 Purchase Price. The Purchase Price of Shares sold pursuant
to a Restricted Stock Award shall be determined by the Board, upon
recommendation of the Committee, and shall be at least eighty-five percent (85%)
of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Restricted Stock Award is
granted, except in the case of a sale to a Ten Percent Shareholder, in which
case the Purchase Price shall be one hundred percent (110%) of the Fair Market
Value. Payment of the Purchase Price may be made in accordance with Section 8 of
the Plan.

                  6.3 Restrictions. Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to
such restrictions as the Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, may
impose. The Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, may provide for the
lapse of such restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such
restrictions, in whole or in part, based on length of service, performance or
such other factors or criteria as the Board, upon recommendation of the
Committee, may determine. Restricted Stock Awards which the Board intends to
qualify under Code section 162(m) shall be subject to a performance-based goal.
Restrictions on such stock shall lapse based on one (1) or more of the following
performance goals: stock price, market share, sales increases, earning per
share, return on equity, cost reductions, or any other similar performance
measure established by the Board, upon recommendation of the Committee. Such
performance measures shall be established by the Board, upon recommendation of
the Committee, in writing, no later than the earlier of (a) ninety (90) days
after the commencement of the performance period with respect to which the
Restricted Stock award is made; and (b) the date as of which twenty-five percent
(25%) of such performance period has elapsed.

         7.       Stock Bonuses.

                  7.1 Awards of Stock Bonuses. A Stock Bonus is an award of
Shares (which may consist of Restricted Stock) for services rendered to the
Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company. A Stock Bonus may
be awarded for past services already rendered to the Company, or any Parent,
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company pursuant to an Award Agreement (the
"Stock Bonus Agreement") that shall be in such form (which need not be the same
for each Participant) as the Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, shall
from time to time approve, and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan subject to Section 7.2 herein. A Stock Bonus may be
awarded upon satisfaction of such performance goals as are set out in advance in
Participant's individual Award Agreement (the "Performance Stock Bonus
Agreement") that shall be in such form (which need not be the same for each
Participant) as the Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, shall from time
to time approve, and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan. Stock Bonuses may vary from Participant to Participant
and between groups of Participants, and may be based upon such other criteria as
the Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, may determine; provided,
however, that performance-based bonuses shall be restricted to individuals
earning at least Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000) per year and of adequate
sophistication and sufficiently empowered to achieve the performance goals.

                  7.2 Code Section 162(m). A Stock Bonus that the Board intends
to qualify for the performance-based exception under Code section 162(m) shall
only be awarded based upon the attainment of one (1) or more of the following
performance goals: stock price, market share, sales increases, earning per
share, return on equity, cost reductions, or any other similar performance
measure established by the Board, upon recommendation of the Committee. Such
performance measures shall be established by the Board, upon recommendation of
the Committee, in writing, no later than the earlier of (a) ninety (90) days
after the commencement of the performance period with respect to which the Stock
Bonus award is made; and (b) the date as of which twenty-five percent (25%) of
such performance period has elapsed.

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  7.3 Terms of Stock Bonuses. The Board, upon recommendation of
the Committee, shall determine the number of Shares to be awarded to the
Participant and whether such Shares shall be Restricted Stock. If the Stock
Bonus is being earned upon the satisfaction of performance goals pursuant to a
Performance Stock Bonus Agreement, then the Board, upon recommendation of the
Committee, shall determine: (a) the nature, length and starting date of any
period during which performance is to be measured (the "Performance Period") for
each Stock Bonus; (b) the performance goals and criteria to be used to measure
the performance, if any; (c) the number of Shares that may be awarded to the
Participant; and (d) the extent to which such Stock Bonuses have been earned.
Performance Periods may overlap and Participants may participate simultaneously
with respect to Stock Bonuses that are subject to different Performance Periods
and different performance goals and other criteria. The number of Shares may be
fixed or may vary in accordance with such performance goals and criteria as may
be determined by the Board, upon recommendation of the Committee. The Board,
upon recommendation of the Committee, may adjust the performance goals
applicable to the Stock Bonuses to take into account changes in law and
accounting or tax rules and to make such adjustments as the Board, upon
recommendation of the Committee, deems necessary or appropriate to reflect the
impact of extraordinary or unusual items, events or circumstances to avoid
windfalls or hardships.

                  7.4 Form of Payment. The earned portion of a Stock Bonus may
be paid currently or on a deferred basis with such interest or dividend
equivalent, if any, as the Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, may
determine. Payment may be made in the form of cash, Shares, including Restricted
Stock, or a combination thereof, either in a lump sum payment or in
installments, all as the Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, shall
determine.

                  7.5 Termination During Performance Period. If a Participant is
Terminated during a Performance Period for any reason, then such Participant
shall be entitled to payment (whether in Shares, cash or otherwise) with respect
to the Stock Bonus only to the extent earned as of the date of Termination in
accordance with the Performance Stock Bonus Agreement, unless the Board, upon
recommendation of the Committee, shall determine otherwise.

         8.       Payment For Share Purchases.

                  8.1 Payment. Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to the Plan
may be made in cash (by check) or, where expressly approved for the Participant
by the Board and where permitted by law:

                           (a)  by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company
                                to the Participant;

                           (b)  by transfer of Shares that either (1) have been
                                owned by Participant for more than six (6)
                                months and have been paid for within the meaning
                                of SEC Rule 144; or (2) were obtained by
                                Participant in the public market;

                           (c)  by waiver of compensation due or accrued to
                                Participant for services rendered;

                           (d)  by tender of property;

                           (e)  with respect only to purchases upon exercise of
                                an Option, and provided that a public market for
                                the Company's stock exists:

                           (f)  through a "same day sale" commitment from
                                Participant and a broker-dealer that is a member
                                of the National Association of Securities
                                Dealers (an "NASD Dealer") whereby the
                                Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the
                                Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so
                                purchased to pay for the Exercise Price, and
                                whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon
                                receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise
                                Price directly to the Company; or

                                       6
<PAGE>

                           (g)  through a "margin" commitment from Participant
                                and an NASD Dealer whereby Participant
                                irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to
                                pledge the Shares so purchased to the NASD
                                Dealer in a margin account as security for a
                                loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the
                                Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer
                                irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares
                                to forward the exercise price directly to the
                                Company; or

                           (h)  by any combination of the foregoing.

         9. Stock Appreciation Rights. All options granted pursuant to the Plan
shall include a stock appreciation right. Such stock appreciation right shall be
subject to the following express terms and conditions and to such other terms
and conditions as the Committee may deem appropriate:

                  (1)  The stock appreciation right shall be exercisable to the
                       extent, and only to the extent, the option is
                       exercisable.

                  (2)  The stock appreciation right shall entitle the optionee
                       to surrender to the Company unexercised the option in
                       which it is included, or any portion thereof, and to
                       receive from the Company in exchange therefor that number
                       of shares which is equal to the following:

                       (i)   from the fair market value, at the time of exercise
                             of the stock appreciation right, of one share of
                             Common Stock, SUBTRACT the purchase price specified
                             in such option; then

                       (ii)  MULTIPLY the result obtained in subparagraph (I) by
                             the number of shares called for by the option, or
                             portion thereof, which is so surrendered; then

                       (iii) DIVIDE the product obtained in subparagraph (ii) by
                             the fair market value, at the time of exercise of
                             the stock appreciation right, of one share of
                             Common Stock.

         10.      Withholding Taxes.

                  10.1 Withholding Generally. Whenever Shares are to be issued
in satisfaction of Awards granted under the Plan, the Company may require the
Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal,
state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any
certificate or certificates for such Shares. Whenever, under the Plan, payments
in satisfaction of Awards are to be made in cash, such payment shall be net of
an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax
requirements.

                  10.2 Stock Withholding. When, under applicable tax laws, a
Participant incurs tax liability in connection with the exercise or vesting of
any Award that is subject to tax withholding and the Participant is obligated to
pay the Company the amount required to be withheld, the Board may allow the
Participant to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation by electing to
have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued that number of Shares
having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld,
determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined
(the "Tax Date"). All elections by a Participant to have Shares withheld for
this purpose shall be made in writing in a form acceptable to the Board and
shall be subject to the following restrictions:

                           (a)  the election must be made on or prior to the
                                applicable Tax Date;

                           (b)  once made, then except as provided below, the
                                election shall be irrevocable as to

                                       7
<PAGE>

                                    the  particular Shares as to which the
                                    election is made;

                           (c)  all elections shall be subject to the consent or
                                disapproval of the Board;

                           (d)  if the Participant is an Insider and if the
                                Company is subject to Section 1 6(b) of the
                                Exchange Act: (1) the election may not be made
                                within six (6) months of the date of grant of
                                the Award, except as otherwise permitted by SEC
                                Rule 1 6b-3(e) under the Exchange Act, and (2)
                                either (A) the election to use stock withholding
                                must be irrevocably made at least six (6) months
                                prior to the Tax Date (although such election
                                may be revoked at any time at least six (6)
                                months prior to the Tax Date) or (B) the
                                exercise of the Option or election to use stock
                                withholding must be made in the ten (10) day
                                period beginning on the third day following the
                                release of the Company's quarterly or annual
                                summary statement of sales or earnings; and

                           (e)  in the event that the Tax Date is deferred until
                                six (6) months after the delivery of Shares
                                under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Participant
                                shall receive the full number of Shares with
                                respect to which the exercise occurs, but such
                                Participant shall be unconditionally obligated
                                to tender back to the Company the proper number
                                of Shares on the Tax Date.

         11.      Privileges of Stock Ownership.

                  11.1 Voting and Dividends. No Participant shall have any of
the rights of a shareholder with respect to any Shares until the Shares are
issued to the Participant. After Shares are issued to the Participant, the
Participant shall be a shareholder and have all the rights of a shareholder with
respect to such Shares, including the right to vote and receive all dividends or
other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares; provided, that if
such Shares are Restricted Stock, then any new, additional or different
securities the Participant may become entitled to receive with respect to such
Shares by virtue of a stock dividend, stock split or any other change in the
corporate or capital structure of the Company shall be subject to the same
restrictions as the Restricted Stock.

                  11.2 Financial Statements. The Company shall provide financial
statements to each Participant prior to such Participant's purchase of Shares
under the Plan, and to each Participant annually during the period such
Participant has Awards outstanding; provided, however, the Company shall not be
required to provide such financial statements to Participants whose services in
connection with the Company assure them access to equivalent information.

         12. Transferability. Awards granted under the Plan, and any interest
therein, shall not be transferable or assignable by Participant, and may not be
made subject to execution, attachment or similar process, otherwise than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution or as consistent with the specific
Plan and Award Agreement provisions relating thereto. During the lifetime of the
Participant an Award shall be exercisable only by the Participant, and any
elections with respect to an Award, may be made only by the Participant.

         13. Restrictions on Shares. At the discretion of the Board, the Company
may reserve to itself and/or its assignee(s) in the Award Agreement a right of
first refusal to purchase all Shares that a Participant (or a subsequent
transferee) may propose to transfer to a third party.

         14. Certificates. All certificates for Shares or other securities
delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock transfer orders, legends
and other restrictions as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable,
including restrictions under any applicable federal, state or foreign securities
law, or any rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC or any stock
exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may be listed.

                                       8
<PAGE>

         15. Escrow; Pledge of Shares. To enforce any restrictions on a
Participant's Shares, the Committee may require the Participant to deposit all
certificates representing Shares, together with stock powers or other
instruments of transfer approved by the Committee, appropriately endorsed in
blank, with the Company or an agent designated by the Company to hold in escrow
until such restrictions have lapsed or terminated, and the Committee may cause a
legend or legends referencing such restrictions to be placed on the
certificates.

         16. Exchange and Buy out of Awards. The Board, upon recommendation of
the Committee, may, at any time or from time to time, authorize the Company,
with the consent of the respective Participants, to issue new Awards in exchange
for the surrender and cancellation of any or all outstanding Awards. The Company
may at any time buy from a Participant an Award previously granted with payment
in cash, Shares (including Restricted Stock) or other consideration, based on
such terms and conditions as the Company and the Participant shall agree.

         17. Securities Law and Other Regulatory Compliance. An Award shall not
be effective unless such Award is in compliance with all applicable federal and
state securities laws, rules and regulations of any governmental body, and the
requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the
Shares may then be listed, as they are in effect on the date of grant of the
Award and also on the date of exercise or other Issuance. Notwithstanding any
other provision in the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or
deliver certificates for Shares under the Plan prior to (a) obtaining any
approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary
or advisable, and/or (b) completion of any registration or other qualification
of such shares under any state or federal law or ruling of any governmental body
that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable. The Company shall be
under no obligation to register the Shares with the SEC or to effect compliance
with the registration, qualification or listing requirements of any state
securities laws, stock exchange or automated quotation system, and the Company
shall have no liability for any inability or failure to do so.

         18. No Obligation to Employ. Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted
under the Plan shall confer or be deemed to confer on any Participant any right
to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the
Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or limit in any
way the right of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the
Company to terminate Participant's employment or other relationship at any time,
with or without cause.

         19.      Corporate Transactions.

                  19.1 Assumption or Replacement of Awards by Successor. In the
event of (a) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving
corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned
subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or
other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the shareholders of
the company and the Awards granted under the Plan are assumed or replaced by the
successor corporation, which assumption shall be binding on all Participants);
(b) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (c) the sale of substantially
all of the assets of the Company; or (d) any other transaction which qualifies
as a "corporate transaction" under Section 424(a) of the Code wherein the
shareholders of the Company give up all of their equity interest in the Company
(except for the acquisition, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
outstanding shares of the Company), any or all outstanding Awards may, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be replaced by the successor corporation (if
any), which replacement shall be binding on all Participants. In the
alternative, the successor corporation may substitute equivalent Awards or
provide substantially similar consideration to Participants as was provided to
shareholders (after taking into account the existing provisions of the Awards).
The successor corporation may also issue, in place of outstanding Shares of the
Company held by the Participant, substantially similar shares or other property
subject to repurchase restrictions no less favorable to the Participant.

                           In the event such successor corporation (if any)
refuses to substitute Options, as provided above, pursuant to a transaction
described in this Subsection 1 8.1, such Options shall expire on such
transaction at such time and on such conditions as the Board shall determine.

                                       9

                  19.2 Other Treatment of Awards. Subject to any greater rights
granted to Participants under the foregoing provisions of this Section 18, in
the event of the occurrence of any transaction described in Section 18.1, any
outstanding Awards shall be treated as provided in the applicable agreement or
plan of merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, sale of assets or other
"corporate transaction."

                  19.3 Assumption of Awards by the Company. The Company, from
time to time, also may grant Awards identical to awards granted by another
company, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other company or
otherwise, by granting an Award under the Plan in replacement of such other
company's award. Such replacement shall be permissible if the holder of the
replaced award would have been eligible to be granted an Award under the Plan if
the other company had applied the rules of the Plan to such grant. In the event
the Company grants Awards identical to an award granted by another company, the
terms and conditions of such award shall remain unchanged (except that the
exercise price and the number and nature of Shares issuable upon exercise of any
such option will be adjusted approximately pursuant to Section 424(a) of the
Code).

         20. Adoption and Shareholder Approval. The Plan shall become effective
on the date that it is adopted by the Board (the "Effective Date"). The Plan
shall be approved by the shareholders of the Company (excluding Shares issued
pursuant to this Plan), consistent with applicable laws, within twelve months
before or after the Effective Date. Upon the Effective Date, the Board may grant
Awards pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that: (a) no Option may be
exercised prior to initial shareholder approval of the Plan; (b) no Option
granted pursuant to an increase in the number of Shares approved by the Board
shall be exercised prior to the time such increase has been approved by the
shareholders of the Company; and (C) in the event that shareholder approval is
not obtained within the time period provided herein, all Awards granted
hereunder shall be canceled, any Shares issued pursuant to any Award shall be
canceled and any purchase of Shares hereunder shall be rescinded. After the
Company becomes subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company will
comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (or its successor), as amended, with
respect to shareholder approval.

         21. Term of Plan. The Plan will terminate ten (10) years from the
Effective Date or, if earlier, the date of shareholder approval of the Plan.

         22. Amendment or Termination of Plan. The Board may at any time
terminate or amend the Plan in any respect, including without limitation
amendment of any form of Award Agreement or instrument to be executed pursuant
to the Plan; provided, however, that the Board shall not, without the approval
of the shareholders of the Company, amend the Plan in any manner that requires
such shareholder approval pursuant to the Code or the regulations promulgated
thereunder as such provisions apply to ISO plans or pursuant to the Exchange Act
or Rule 16b-3 (or its successor), as amended, thereunder.

         23. Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the
Board, the submission of the Plan to the shareholders of the Company for
approval, nor any provision of the Plan shall be construed as creating any
limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such additional compensation
arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the
granting of stock options and bonuses otherwise than under the Plan, and such
arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific
cases.
