Exhibit 4.2 

CENTRAL EUROPEAN MEDIA ENTERPRISES LTD. 

1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN 

As Amended as of September 4, 2003 

(share numbers as of November 4, 2003) 

1.         Purpose 

The purpose of the 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") is to induce employees, nonemployee consultants and directors who are not employees of the Company or a Subsidiary ("nonemployee directors") to retain their association with Central European Media Enterprises Ltd (the "Company"), its affiliates and its present and future subsidiaries (each a "Subsidiary"), as defined in Section 424(f) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to attract new employees, nonemployee consultants and directors who are not employees and to encourage such employees, nonemployee consultants and directors who are not employees to secure or increase on reasonable terms their stock ownership in the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") believes that the granting of stock options (the "Options") under the Plan will promote continuity of management and increased incentive and personal interest in the welfare of the Company by those who are or may become primarily responsible for shaping and carrying out the long range plans of the Company and securing its continued growth and financial success. Options granted hereunder are intended to be either (a) "incentive stock options" (which term, when used herein, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto by the provisions of Section 422(b) of the Code) or (b) options which are not incentive stock options ("non-incentive stock options") or (c) a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee (the "Committee") referred to in Section 5 hereof at the time of the grant thereof. 

	 
	 	 	 
	

	 

2.          Adoption of the Plan 

The Plan was adopted by resolution of the Board on August 2, 1995 and ratified by a majority of the votes cast by holders of outstanding Common Shares, $.08 par value, of the Company (the "Common Shares"), at the Company's annual general meeting of shareholders held on May 3, 1996, amended several times thereafter and further amended by the Board on March 27, 2003. The amendment adopted at by the Board on March 27, 2003 shall become effective upon ratification thereof by a majority of the votes cast at a duly constituted meeting of the holders of the Common Shares. 

 

3.          Common Shares Subject to Plan 

3,624,000 of the authorized but unissued shares of the Class A Common Shares (the "Class A Common Shares") and 362,400 of the authorized but unissued shares of the Class B Common Shares (the "Class B Common Shares"), are hereby reserved for issue upon the exercise of Options granted under the Plan; provided, however, that the aggregate number of Common Shares that may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed 3,624,000; provided further, however, that the number of shares so reserved may from time to time be reduced to the extent that a corresponding number of issued and outstanding shares of the Class A Common Shares or Class B Common Shares are purchased by the Company and set aside for issue upon the exercise of Options; and provided further, however, that the number of Class A Common Shares reserved shall be reduced by the number of Class B Common Shares that are delivered pursuant to the exercise of Options hereunder. If any Options expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased shares subject thereto shall again be available for the purposes of the Plan. 

	 
	 	 	 
	

	 

4.          Administration 

The Plan shall be administered by the Committee referred to in Section 5 hereof. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have complete authority, in its discretion, to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to it, to determine the terms and provisions of the respective option agreements or certificates (which need not be identical), to determine the individuals (each a "Participant") to whom and the times and the prices at which Options shall be granted, the period during which each Option shall be exercisable and the vesting schedule therefor (which may vary with each optionee and may be granted on a basis less favourable to the optionee than that provided in Section 10 hereof), the number of Class A Common Shares or of Class B Common Shares to be subject to each Option and whether such Option shall be an incentive stock option or a non-incentive stock option and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan; provided, however, that Options on Class B Common Shares shall be granted only to persons eligible to be a holder of Class B Common Shares pursuant to the Company's Bye-laws; and provided further, however, that only the Board shall grant Options to nonemployee directors, other than Options granted to nonemployee directors pursuant to Section 20.B. hereof, and to determine the terms thereof. In making such determinations, the Committee or the Board, as the case may be, may take into account the nature of the services rendered by the respective employees, nonemployee consultants and nonemployee directors, their present and potential contributions to the success of the Company or any Subsidiary and such other factors as the Committee or the Board in its discretion shall deem relevant. The Committee's or Board's determination on the matters referred to in this Section 4 shall be conclusive. Any dispute or disagreement which may arise under or as a result of or with respect to any Option shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and any interpretations by the Committee of the terms of any Option shall be final, binding and conclusive. 

	 
	 	 	 
	

	 

5.          Committee 

The Committee shall mean the Compensation Committee of the Company as constituted by the Board of Directors from time to time and acting in accordance with its duly adopted charter. 

 

6.          Eligibility 

An Option may be granted only to a key employee or nonemployee consultant of the Company or a Subsidiary. A director of the Company or a Subsidiary who is not an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary shall be eligible to receive an Option, but only as provided in Sections 4 and 20 hereof. 

 

7.          Option Prices 

A.          The initial per share option price of an Option which is an incentive stock option shall be the price determined by the Committee, but not less than the fair market value of a Class A Common Share or Class B Common Share on the date of grant; provided, however, that, in the case of a Participant who owns, or is deemed to own, shares of stock representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company, determined pursuant to rules applicable to Section 422(b)(6) of the Code (a "Ten-Percent Holder"), at the time an Option which is an incentive stock option is granted to him, the initial per share option price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of a Class A Common Share or Class B Common Share on the date of grant. 

	 
	 	 	 
	

	 

B.         The initial per share option price of any Option which is a non-incentive stock option granted to an employee or nonemployee consultant shall be the price determined by the Committee, but not less than either the fair market value of a Class A Common Share on the date of grant or the average fair market value of a Class A Common Share over a period specified in the grant following the date the Option is granted not to exceed 20 business days. The Committee may provide that the option price per share will increase to reflect the cost of the capital or any other objective measure or may set the initial exercise price at an amount in excess of the fair market value at the time of grant. The per share option price of any Option granted to a nonemployee director pursuant to Section 20.A. shall be determined in the same manner as the per share option price for options granted to employees and nonemployee consultants, and the per share option price of an Option granted to a nonemployee director pursuant to Section 20.B. shall be determined as provided in Section 20.B. 

 

C.          For all purposes of the Plan, the fair market value of a Class A Common Share or a Class B Common Share on any date shall be equal to (i) if, on such day, the Class A Common Shares shall be traded on a national securities exchange, the closing sales price of a Class A Common Share as published by such national securities exchange or if there is no sale of the Class A Common Shares on such date, the average of the bid and asked price on such exchange at the close of trading on such date, or (ii) if the Class A Common Shares are not listed on a national securities exchange on such date, and are traded on a national securities market, the average of the bid and asked price in the over-the-counter market at the close of trading on such date, or (iii) if the provisions of clause (i) and clause (ii) shall not be applicable, such amount as shall be determined in good faith by the Board. 

	 
	 	 	 
	

	 

8.          Option Term 

Participants shall be granted Options for such term as the Committee shall determine, not in excess of ten years from the date of the granting thereof; provided, however, that, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a Ten-Percent Holder, the term with respect to such Option shall not be in excess of five years from the date of the granting thereof. The Committee may provide that the length of the term of an Option will vary with the length of the period over which the Option first becomes exercisable. 

 

9.          Limitations on Amount of Incentive Stock Options Granted 

The aggregate fair market value of the Class A Common Shares or the Class B Common Shares for which any Participant may be granted incentive stock options which are exercisable for the first time in any calendar year (whether under the terms of the Plan or any other stock option plan of the Company) shall not exceed $100,000. 

 

10.          Exercise of Options 

A.          Each Option shall be exercisable and the total number of shares subject thereto shall be purchasable in installments, which need not be equal, as specified in the Option. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, the first installment shall not become exercisable during the period commencing on the date of the granting of such Option and ending on the day next preceding the first anniversary of such date. An installment once exercisable shall remain exercisable until the Option expires or is terminated. 

 

B.          Except as hereinbefore otherwise set forth, an Option may be exercised either in whole at any time or in part from time to time. 

	 
	 	 	 
	

	 

C.          An Option may be exercised only by a written notice of intent to exercise such Option with respect to a specific number of Class A Common Shares or Class B Common Shares and payment to the Company of the amount of the option price for the number of Class A Common Shares or the Class B Common Shares so specified; provided, however, that all or any portion of such payment may be made in kind by the delivery of Class A Common Shares or Class B Common Shares, as the case may be, having a fair market value equal to the portion of the option price so paid; provided, further, however, that, subject to the requirements of Regulation T (as in effect from time to time) promulgated under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Committee may implement procedures to allow a broker chosen by a Participant to make payment of all of any portion of the option price payable upon the exercise of an Option and receive, on behalf of such Participant, all or any portion of the Class A Common Shares or Class B Common Shares issuable upon such exercise; provided, further, however, that any such exercise shall not violate Section 402 of the United States Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. 

 

D.          Notwithstanding the terms of this Section 10, the Board may, in its discretion, permit any Option to be exercised, in whole or in part, prior to the time when it would otherwise be exercisable. 

 

11.          Transferability 

No Option shall be assignable or transferable except by will and/or by the laws of descent and distribution and, during the life of any Participant, each Option granted to him may be exercised only by him; provided, however that the Board or Committee may provide that a Participant may transfer a non-incentive stock option for no consideration to any Family Member of such Participant. For this purpose, "Family Member" shall mean any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law of a Participant (including adoptive relationships); any person sharing the Participant’s household (other than a tenant or employee); any trust in which the Participant and any of these persons have all of the beneficial interest; any foundation in which the Participant and any of these persons control the management of the assets; any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity in which the Participant and any of these other persons are the direct and beneficial owners of all of the equity interests (provided the Participant and these other persons agree in writing to remain the direct and beneficial owners of all such equity interests); and any personal representative of the Participant upon the Participant’s death for purposes of administration of the Participant’s estate or upon the Participant’s incomopetency for purposes of the protection and management of the assets of the Participant. 

	 
	 	 	 
	

	 

12.          Termination of Employment or Service 

In the event a Participant leaves the employ of the Company and the Subsidiaries, or the services or the contract of a nonemployee consultant to the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated or a Participant ceases to serve as a nonemployee director (a "Termination"), an Option may thereafter be exercised only as hereinafter provided: 

 

(a)          If Termination occurs by reason of (i) disability, (ii) death or (iii) retirement at or after age 65, each Option theretofore granted to him which shall not have theretofore expired or otherwise been cancelled shall become exercisable in full and shall, to the extent not theretofore exercised, terminate upon the earlier to occur of the expiration of one (1) year after the date of such Termination and the date of termination specified in such Option; 

	 
	 	 	 
	

	 

(b)          If Termination occurs by reason of (i) termination by the Company or a Subsidiary other than for Cause or (ii) the Participant's voluntary termination, each Option theretofore granted to him which shall not have theretofore expired or otherwise have been cancelled shall, to the extent not theretofore exercised, terminate upon the earlier to occur of the expiration of ninety (90) days after the date of Termination and the date of termination specified in such Option; and 

 

(c)          If Termination occurs by reason of termination by the Company for Cause, each Option theretofore granted to him which shall not have theretofore expired or otherwise been cancelled shall immediately terminate. 

 

"Cause" shall mean (i) the commission by a Participant of any act or omission that would constitute a felony under United States federal, state or equivalent foreign law, or an indictable offense under Bermuda law, (ii) a Participant's gross negligence, recklessness, dishonesty, fraud, disclosure of trade secrets or confidential information, willful malfeasance or willful misconduct in the performance of services to the Company or its Subsidiaries, (iii) willful misrepresentation to shareholders or directors which is injurious to the Company; (iv) a willful failure without reasonable justification to comply with reasonable directions of a Participant's supervisor; or (v) a willful and material breach of a Participant's duties or obligations under any agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary. 

 

	 
	 	 	 
	

	 

 

13.          Adjustment of Number of Shares 

A.          In the event that a dividend shall be declared upon the Class A Common Shares payable in Class A Common Shares, the number of Class A Common Shares then subject to any Option, the number of Class A Common Shares reserved for issuance in accordance with the provisions of the Plan but not yet covered by an Option and the number of Class A Common Shares referred to in Section 20.B. hereof shall be adjusted by adding to each share the number of shares which would be distributable thereon if such shares had been outstanding on the date fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to receive such stock dividend. 

 

B.          In the event that the outstanding Class A Common Shares shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation, whether through reorganization, stock split-up, combination of shares, sale of assets, merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, then there shall be substituted for each Class A Common Share then subject to any Option, for each Class A Common Share reserved for issuance in accordance with the provisions of the Plan but not yet covered by an Option and for each Class A Common Share referred to in Section 20.B. hereof, the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities into which each outstanding Class Common Share shall be so changed or for which each such share shall be exchanged. 

 

C.          In the event that there shall be any change, other than as specified in this Section 13, in the number or kind of outstanding Class A Common Shares, or of any stock or other securities into which the Class A Common Shares shall have been changed, or for which it shall have been exchanged, then, if the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in the number or kind of shares then subject to any Option, the number or kind of shares reserved for issuance in accordance with the provisions of the Plan but not yet covered by an Option and the number or kind of shares referred to in Section 20.B. hereof, such adjustment shall be made by the Committee and shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan and of each stock option agreement or certificate entered into in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. 

	 
	 	 	 
	

	 

D.          In the case of any substitution or adjustment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13, the option price in each stock option agreement or certificate for each share covered thereby prior to such substitution or adjustment shall be the option price for all shares of stock or other securities which have been substituted for such share or to which such share shall have been adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13. 

 

E.          No adjustment or substitution provided for in this Section 13 shall require the Company to sell a fractional share under any stock option agreement or certificate. 

 

F.          In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or a merger, reorganization or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, then, except as otherwise provided in second sentence of this Section 13, each Option, to the extent not theretofore exercised, shall be immediately exercisable in full. 

 

G.          This Section 13 shall apply, pari passu, with respect to Class B Common Shares. 

 

14.          Purchase for Investment, Withholding and Waivers. 

Unless the shares to be issued upon the exercise of an Option by a Participant shall be registered prior to the issuance thereof under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, such Participant will, as a condition of the Company's obligation to issue such shares, be required to give a representation in writing that he is acquiring such shares for his own account as an investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any thereof. In the event of the death of a Participant, a condition of exercising any Option shall be the delivery to the Company of such tax waivers and other documents as the Committee shall determine. In the case of each stock option, a condition of exercising the same shall be the entry by the person exercising the same into such arrangements with the Company with respect to all federal, state, local and foreign withholding tax requirements as the Committee may determine. 

	 
	 	 	 
	

	 

15.          No Stockholder Status. 

Neither any Participant nor his legal representatives, legatees or distributees shall be or be deemed to be the holder of any Class A Common Share or Class B Common Share covered by an Option unless and until a certificate for such share has been issued. Upon payment of the purchase price thereof, a share issued upon exercise of an Option shall be fully paid and non-assessable. 

 

16.          No Restrictions on Corporate Acts. 

Neither the existence of the Plan nor any Option shall in any way affect the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Class A Common Shares or Class B Common Shares or the rights thereof, or 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. 

	 
	 	 	 
	

	 

17.          No Employment Right or Right to Continued Service. 

Neither the existence of the Plan nor the grant of any Option shall require the Company or any Subsidiary to continue any Participant in the employ of the Company or such Subsidiary, as a nonemployee consultant to the Company or a Subsidiary or as a director of the Company. 

 

18.          Termination and Amendment of the Plan. 

The Board may at any time terminate the Plan or make such modifications of the Plan as it shall deem advisable; provided, however, that the Board may not without further approval of the holders of a majority of the Common Shares voting as a single class as provided in the Company's Bye-Laws present in person or by proxy at any special or annual meeting of the stockholders, increase the number of shares as to which Options may be granted under the Plan (as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 hereof), or change the manner of determining the option prices, or extend the period during which an Option may be granted or exercised or otherwise amend the Plan in contravention of any applicable rules or regulations, including the rules of any national securities exchange or market on which the Common Shares of the Company may be listed. Except as otherwise provided in Section 13 hereof, no termination or amendment of the Plan may, without the consent of the Participant to whom any Option shall theretofore have been granted, adversely affect the rights of such Participant under such Option. 

 

19.          Expiration and Termination of the Plan. 

The Plan shall terminate on the business day preceding the tenth anniversary of May 22, 2003 or at such earlier time as the Board may determine. Options may be granted under the Plan at any time and from time to time prior to its termination. Any Option outstanding under the Plan at the time of the termination of the Plan shall remain in effect until such Option shall have been exercised or shall have expired in accordance with its terms. 

	 
	 	 	 
	

	 

20.          Options for Outside Directors. 

A.          A nonemployee director shall be eligible to receive Options. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 20, each such Option shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan. 

 

B.          I. At each annual meeting of the Company, each nonemployee director who shall have served as a nonemployee director since the immediately preceding annual meeting "and any other non-employee director as determined by a vote of a majority of the members of the Board (excluding any such other non-employee director)" shall be granted a non-incentive stock option to purchase 16,000 Common Shares, which shall be Class B Common Shares in the case of a nonemployee director who is eligible to be a holder of Class B Common Shares pursuant to the Company's Bye-laws or otherwise shall be Class A Common Shares. 

 

II.          The initial per share option price of each Option granted to a nonemployee director pursuant to this Section 20.B. shall be equal to the average fair market value of a Class A Common Share for the ten (10) consecutive business days immediately following the date the Option is granted, or 105% of the ten (10) consecutive business day average thereof, in the case of a grant of an Option on Class B Common Shares. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Committee may provide that the option price per share will increase to reflect the cost of capital or any other objective measure or may set the initial exercise price at an amount in excess of the fair market value at the time of grant. 

	 
	 	 	 
	

	 

III.          The term of each Option granted to a nonemployee director pursuant to this Section 20.B. shall be ten years from the date of the granting thereof. The Board shall determine by a majority vote the number of installments in which an Option granted pursuant to this Section 20 shall be exercisable; provided, that the first installment shall not become exercisable during the period commencing on the date of the granting of such Option and ending on the day immediately preceding the first anniversary of such date. An installment once exercisable shall remain exercisable until such Option expires or is terminated. 

 

IV.          All or any portion of the payment required upon the exercise of an Option granted to a nonemployee director may be made in kind by the delivery of Class A Common Shares or Class B Common Shares, as the case may be, having a fair market value on the date the Option is exercised equal to the portion of the option price so paid. 

 

C.          The provisions of this Section 20 may not be amended except by the vote of a majority of the members of the Board and by the vote of a majority of the members of the Board who are nonemployee directors. 

 

21. Miscellaneous. 

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

 

B.          Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for its employees. 

	 
	 	 	 
	

	 

C.          Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any withholding obligations may be settled with Common Shares, including Common Shares that are part of the award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Participant. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for the settlement of withholding obligations with Common Shares. 

 

D.          The Committee shall establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for a Participant to designate a beneficiary to whom any amounts payable in the event of the Participant’s death are to be paid. 

 

E.          Any amounts owed to the Company or a Subsidiary by the Participant of whatever nature may be offset by the Company from the value of any Common Shares, cash or other thing of value under this Plan or an agreement or certificate to be transferred to the Participant, and no Common Shares, cash or other thing of value under this Plan or an agreement or certificate shall be transferred unless and until all disputes between the Company and the Participant have been fully and finally resolved and the Participant has waived all claims against the Company or a Subsidiary in respect thereof. 

 

F.          To the extent that the Committee determines that the restrictions imposed by the Plan preclude the achievement of the material purposes of the awards in jurisdictions outside the United States of America, the Committee may in its discretion modify those restrictions as it determines to be necessary or appropriate to conform to applicable requirements or practices of such jurisdictions. 

	 
	 	 	 
	

	 

G.          The headings contained in the Plan are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Plan. 

 

H.          If any provision of this Plan shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereby, and this Plan shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted. 

 

I.          This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on each successor and assign of the Company. All obligations imposed on a Participant, and all rights granted to the Company hereunder, shall be binding on the Participant’s heirs, legal representatives and successors. 

 

J.          This Plan and each agreement or certificate granting an award constitute the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, that in the event of any inconsistency between this Plan and such agreement or certificate, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall control. 

 

K.          None of the Company, any Subsidiary or the Committee shall have any duty or obligation to disclose affirmatively to a record or beneficial holder of Common Shares or an Option, and such holder shall have no right to be advised of, any material non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiary at any time prior to, upon or in connection with, the receipt or exercise of an Option. 

 

22.          Governing Law. 

The Plan shall be governed by the laws of Bermuda.EXHIBIT 4.1

            -------------------

     1.1     Purpose.  This  Stock  Incentive  Plan  (the "Plan") is intended to
             -------
allow  designated officers and employees (all of whom are sometimes collectively
referred  to  herein  as  the "Employees," or individually as the "Employee") of
American  Fire  Retardant  Corp.,  a  Nevada corporation (the "Company") and its
Subsidiaries  (as  that  term is defined below) which they may have from time to

Company,  par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), and to receive grants
of  the Common Stock subject to certain restrictions (the "Awards").  As used in
this  Plan,  the  term  "Subsidiary"  shall  mean  each  corporation  which is a
"subsidiary  corporation" of the Company within the meaning of Section 424(f) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  The purpose of this
Plan  is  to  provide  the  Employees,  who  make  significant and extraordinary
contributions  to  the  long-term  growth  and  performance of the Company, with

     1.2     Administration.
             --------------

     1.2.1     The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (the
"Committee")  of,  or  appointed  by, the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Board").  The  Committee  shall select one of its members as Chairman and shall
act  by  vote  of  a  majority  of a quorum, or by unanimous written consent.  A
majority  of  its  members  shall  constitute  a quorum.  The Committee shall be
governed  by the provisions of the Company's Bylaws and of Nevada law applicable
to  the  Board,  except as otherwise provided herein or determined by the Board.

     1.2.2     The  Committee  shall  have  full  and complete authority, in its
discretion,  but  subject  to the express provisions of this Plan (a) to approve
the Employees nominated by the management of the Company to be granted Awards or
Stock  Options;  (b)  to  determine  the number of Awards or Stock Options to be
granted  to  an  Employee; (c) to determine the time or times at which Awards or
Stock Options shall be granted; to establish the terms and conditions upon which
Awards  or  Stock  Options  may  be  exercised;  (d)  to  remove  or  adjust any
restrictions and conditions upon Awards or Stock Options; (e) to specify, at the
time  of  grant,  provisions  relating to exercisability of Stock Options and to
accelerate  or otherwise modify the exercisability of any Stock Options; and (f)
to  adopt such rules and regulations and to make all other determinations deemed
necessary or desirable for the administration of this Plan.  All interpretations
and  constructions  of  this  Plan  by  the  Committee,  and  all of its actions
hereunder,  shall  be  binding  and  conclusive on all persons for all purposes.

     1.2.3     The  Company  hereby  agrees  to indemnify and hold harmless each
Committee  member  and each Employee, and the estate and heirs of such Committee
member  or  Employee,  against  all  claims,  liabilities,  expenses, penalties,
damages  or  other  pecuniary losses, including legal fees, which such Committee
member  or  Employee,  his  estate  or  heirs  may  suffer  as  a  result of his
responsibilities,  obligations  or  duties  in connection with this Plan, to the
extent  that  insurance,  if  any, does not cover the payment of such items.  No
member  of  the  Committee  or  the  Board  shall  be  liable  for any action or
determination made in good faith with respect to this Plan or any Award or Stock
Option  granted  pursuant  to  this  Plan.

     1.3     Eligibility  and  Participation.  The Employees eligible under this
             -------------------------------
Plan shall be approved by the Committee from those Employees who, in the opinion
of  the  management  of  the Company, are in positions which enable them to make
significant  contributions  to  the  long-term  performance  and  growth  of the
Company.  In  selecting  the  Employees  to  whom  Award or Stock Options may be
granted,  consideration  shall  be given to factors such as employment position,
duties  and  responsibilities, ability, productivity, length of service, morale,
interest  in  the  Company  and  recommendations  of  supervisors.

     1.4     Shares  Subject  to this Plan.  The maximum number of shares of the
             -----------------------------
Common  Stock  that  may  be  issued  pursuant to this Plan shall be 700,000,000
subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 4.1.  If shares of
the Common Stock awarded or issued under this Plan are reacquired by the Company
due  to a forfeiture

                                        1
<PAGE>
or  for  any  other  reason, such shares shall be cancelled and thereafter shall
again  be  available  for  purposes  of  this  Plan.  If a Stock Option expires,
terminates or is cancelled for any reason without having been exercised in full,
the shares of the Common Stock not purchased thereunder shall again be available
for  purposes  of  this  Plan.

     2.     Provisions  Relating  to  Stock  Options.
            ----------------------------------------

     2.1    Grants  of Stock Options.  The  Committee may grant Stock Options in
            ------------------------
such amounts, at such times, and to the Employees nominated by the management of
the  Company  as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine.  Stock Options
granted  under  this  Plan shall constitute "incentive stock options" within the
meaning  of  Section  422  of the Code, if so designated by the Committee on the
date  of  grant.  The  Committee  shall  also have the discretion to grant Stock
Options  which  do  not  constitute  incentive stock options, and any such Stock
Options  shall be designated non-statutory stock options by the Committee on the
date  of  grant.  The  aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time an
incentive  stock  option  is  granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which
incentive  stock  options  are  exercisable  for  the first time by any Employee
during  any  one calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any parent or
subsidiary  of  the  Company)  may not exceed the maximum amount permitted under
Section  422  of the Code (currently, $100,000.00).  Non-statutory stock options
shall  not  be  subject  to  the limitations relating to incentive stock options
contained  in the preceding sentence.  Each Stock Option shall be evidenced by a
written  agreement (the "Option Agreement") in a form approved by the Committee,
which shall be executed on behalf of the Company and by the Employee to whom the
Stock  Option is granted, and which shall be subject to the terms and conditions
of  this  Plan.  In  the  discretion of the Committee, Stock Options may include
provisions  (which  need  not  be  uniform),  authorized by the Committee in its
discretion,  that  accelerate  an  Employee's  rights  to exercise Stock Options
following  a  "Change in Control," upon termination of the Employee's employment
by  the  Company  without  "Cause" or by the Employee for "Good Reason," as such
terms  are  defined in Paragraph 3.1 hereof.  The holder of a Stock Option shall
not  be  entitled  to  the privileges of stock ownership as to any shares of the
Common  Stock  not  actually  issued  to  such  holder.

     2.2     Purchase  Price.  The  purchase  price  (the  "Exercise  Price") of
             ---------------
shares  of  the  Common Stock subject to each Stock Option (the "Option Shares")
shall  not  be less than 85 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
on the date of exercise.  For an Employee holding greater than 10 percent of the
total  voting power of all stock of the Company, either Common or Preferred, the
Exercise Price of an incentive stock option shall be at least 110 percent of the
Fair  Market  Value  of the Common Stock on the date of the grant of the option.
As  used  herein,  "Fair  Market  Value"  means the mean between the highest and
lowest  reported sales prices of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange
Composite  Tape  or,  if  not  listed  on  such  exchange, on any other national
securities  exchange  on which the Common Stock is listed or on The Nasdaq Stock
Market,  or,  if  not so listed on any other national securities exchange or The
Nasdaq  Stock  Market,  then  the  average  of the bid price of the Common Stock
during  the  last  five  trading  days  on  the  OTC  Bulletin Board immediately
preceding  the last trading day prior to the date with respect to which the Fair
Market  Value  is  to  be  determined.  If the Common Stock is not then publicly
traded,  then  the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock shall be the book value
of  the  Company  per  share  as  determined  on  the  last  day of March, June,
September, or December in any year closest to the date when the determination is
to  be  made.  For  the  purpose of determining book value hereunder, book value
shall  be  determined  by adding as of the applicable date called for herein the
capital,  surplus,  and  undivided  profits  of  the  Company,  and after having
deducted  any  reserves theretofore established; the sum of these items shall be
divided by the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding as of said date,
and  the  quotient thus obtained shall represent the book value of each share of
the  Common  Stock  of  the  Company.

     2.3     Option Period.  The Stock Option period (the "Term") shall commence
             -------------
on  the  date of grant of the Stock Option and shall be 10 years or such shorter
period  as is determined by the Committee.  Each Stock Option shall provide that
it  is  exercisable over its term in such periodic installments as the Committee
may  determine,  subject to the provisions of Paragraph 2.4.1.  Section 16(b) of
the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") exempts
persons  normally  subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the
Exchange  Act  (the  "Section  16  Reporting  Persons")  pursuant to a qualified
employee  stock  option plan from the normal requirement of not selling until at
least six months and one day from the date the Stock Option is granted.

                                        2
<PAGE>
     2.4     Exercise  of  Options.
             ---------------------

     2.4.1     Each  Stock  Option may be exercised in whole or in part (but not
as  to  fractional  shares) by delivering it for surrender or endorsement to the
Company,  attention  of  the Corporate Secretary, at the principal office of the
Company,  together with payment of the Exercise Price and an executed Notice and
Agreement of Exercise in the form prescribed by Paragraph 2.4.2.  Payment may be
made  (a)  in  cash,  (b)  by  cashier's or certified check, (c) by surrender of
previously owned shares of the Common Stock valued pursuant to Paragraph 2.2 (if
the Committee authorizes payment in stock in its discretion), (d) by withholding
from  the  Option  Shares which would otherwise be issuable upon the exercise of
the Stock Option that number of Option Shares equal to the exercise price of the
Stock  Option,  if  such  withholding  is  authorized  by  the  Committee in its
discretion,  or  (e)  in the discretion of the Committee, by the delivery to the
Company  of the optionee's promissory note secured by the Option Shares, bearing
interest  at  a  rate  sufficient  to  prevent  the imputation of interest under
Sections  483 or 1274 of the Code, and having such other terms and conditions as
may  be  satisfactory  to  the  Committee.  Subject  to  the  provisions of this
Paragraph  2.4  and Paragraph 2.5, the Employee has the right to exercise his or
her  Stock Options at the rate of at least 20% per year over five years from the
date  the  Stock  Option  is  granted.

     2.4.2     Exercise  of  each Stock Option is conditioned upon the agreement
of  the  Employee  to  the  terms  and conditions of this Plan and of such Stock
Option  as  evidenced  by  the Employee's execution and delivery of a Notice and
Agreement  of  Exercise  in  a  form  to  be  determined by the Committee in its
discretion.  Such Notice and Agreement of Exercise shall set forth the agreement
of  the Employee that (a) no Option Shares will be sold or otherwise distributed
in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or
any  other  applicable  federal  or state securities laws, (b) each Option Share
certificate  may be imprinted with legends reflecting any applicable federal and
state  securities  law  restrictions  and conditions, (c) the Company may comply
with  said securities law restrictions and issue "stop transfer" instructions to
its  Transfer  Agent  and  Registrar without liability, (d) if the Employee is a
Section  16 Reporting Person, the Employee will furnish to the Company a copy of
each  Form  4  or Form 5 filed by said Employee and will timely file all reports
required  under  federal  securities  laws, and (e) the Employee will report all
sales  of  Option  Shares  to the Company in writing on a form prescribed by the
Company.

     2.4.3     No  Stock  Option  shall  be  exercisable  unless  and  until any
applicable  registration  or  qualification  requirements  of  federal and state
securities  laws,  and  all  other  legal requirements, have been fully complied
with.  At no time shall the total number of securities issuable upon exercise of
all  outstanding  options  under  this  Plan, and the total number of securities
provided  for under any bonus or similar plan or agreement of the Company exceed
a  number of securities which is equal to 30% of the then outstanding securities
of  the  Company,  unless  a  percentage higher than 30% is approved by at least
two-thirds of the outstanding securities entitled to vote.  The Company will use
reasonable  efforts  to  maintain  the effectiveness of a Registration Statement
under  the  Securities Act for the issuance of Stock Options and shares acquired
thereunder,  but  there may be times when no such Registration Statement will be
currently effective.  The exercise of Stock Options may be temporarily suspended
without  liability  to  the  Company  during  times  when  no  such Registration
Statement  is  currently  effective,  or  during  times  when, in the reasonable
opinion  of the Committee, such suspension is necessary to preclude violation of
any requirements of applicable law or regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over
the  Company.  If any Stock Option would expire for any reason except the end of
its term during such a suspension, then if exercise of such Stock Option is duly
tendered  before  its  expiration,  such  Stock  Option shall be exercisable and
exercised (unless the attempted exercise is withdrawn) as of the first day after
the  end  of  such suspension.  The Company shall have no obligation to file any
Registration  Statement  covering  resales  of  Option  Shares.

     2.5     Continuous  Employment.  Except as provided in Paragraph 2.7 below,
             ----------------------
an Employee may not exercise a Stock Option unless from the date of grant to the
date of exercise the Employee remains continuously in the employ of the Company.
For  purposes  of  this Paragraph 2.5, the period of continuous employment of an
Employee with the Company shall be deemed to include (without extending the term
of the Stock Option) any period during which the Employee is on leave of absence
with  the  consent of the Company, provided that such leave of absence shall not
exceed  three  months and that the Employee returns to the employ of the Company
at  the expiration of such leave of absence.  If the Employee fails to return to
the  employ  of  the  Company  at  the  expiration of such leave of absence, the
Employee's employment with the Company shall be deemed terminated as of the date
such  leave of absence commenced.  The continuous employment of an Employee with
the Company shall also be deemed to include any period during which the Employee
is  a  member  of  the  Armed  Forces  of  the  United  States,

                                        3
<PAGE>
provided  that  the Employee returns to the employ of the Company within 90 days
(or  such  longer period as may be prescribed by law) from the date the Employee
first becomes entitled to a discharge from military service. If an Employee does
not return to the employ of the Company within 90 days (or such longer period as
may be prescribed by law) from the date the Employee first becomes entitled to a
discharge  from  military  service,  the  Employee's employment with the Company
shall  be  deemed  to  have  terminated  as  of the date the Employee's military
service  ended.

     2.6     Restrictions  on  Transfer.  Each  Stock  Option granted under this
             --------------------------
Plan shall be transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
No  interest  of  any  Employee  under this Plan shall be subject to attachment,
execution, garnishment, sequestration, the laws of bankruptcy or any other legal
or  equitable  process.  Each  Stock  Option  granted  under  this Plan shall be
exercisable  during  an  Employee's  lifetime  only  by  the  Employee or by the
Employee's  legal  representative.

     2.7     Termination  of  Employment.
             ---------------------------

     2.7.1     Upon  an  Employee's  Retirement,  Disability  (both  terms being
defined  below)  or  death,  (a)  all Stock Options to the extent then presently
exercisable  shall remain in full force and effect and may be exercised pursuant
to  the  provisions thereof, and (b) unless otherwise provided by the Committee,
all  Stock  Options to the extent not then presently exercisable by the Employee
shall  terminate  as of the date of such termination of employment and shall not
be  exercisable  thereafter.  Unless  employment  is  terminated  for  cause, as
defined  by applicable law, the right to exercise in the event of termination of
employment,  to the extent that the optionee is entitled to exercise on the date
the  employment  terminates  as  follows:

          (i)     At  least 6 months from the date of termination if termination
was  caused  by  death  or  disability.

          (ii)     At  least 30 days from the date of termination if termination
was  caused  by  other  than  death  or  disability.

     2.7.2     Upon  the  termination  of  the employment of an Employee for any
reason other than those specifically set forth in Paragraph 2.7.1, (a) all Stock
Options  to  the  extent then presently exercisable by the Employee shall remain
exercisable  only  for a period of 90 days after the date of such termination of
employment  (except that the 90 day period shall be extended to 12 months if the
Employee  shall die during such 90 day period), and may be exercised pursuant to
the  provisions  thereof,  including  expiration  at  the  end of the fixed term
thereof,  and  (b) unless otherwise provided by the Committee, all Stock Options
to  the extent not then presently exercisable by the Employee shall terminate as
of  the  date  of  such  termination  of employment and shall not be exercisable
thereafter.

     2.7.3     For  purposes  of  this  Plan:

          (a)     "Retirement"  shall  mean  an  Employee's  retirement from the
employ of the Company on or after the date on which the Employee attains the age
of  65  years;  and

          (b)     "Disability"  shall  mean total and permanent incapacity of an
Employee, due to physical impairment or legally established mental incompetence,
to perform the usual duties of the Employee's employment with the Company, which
disability  shall  be determined (i) on medical evidence by a licensed physician
designated  by  the  Committee, or (ii) on evidence that the Employee has become
entitled  to  receive  primary  benefits as a disabled employee under the Social
Security  Act  in  effect  on  the  date  of  such  disability.

     3.     Provisions  Relating  to  Awards.
            --------------------------------

     3.1     Grant  of  Awards.  Subject  to  the  provisions  of this Plan, the
             -----------------
Committee shall have full and complete authority, in its discretion, but subject
to  the  express  provisions  of this Plan, to (1) grant Awards pursuant to this
Plan,  (2)  determine  the  number of shares of the Common Stock subject to each
Award  (the  "Award Shares"), (3) determine the terms and conditions (which need
not  be  identical)  of  each  Award,  including  the  consideration  (if

                                        4
<PAGE>
any)  to  be  paid  by the Employee for such the Common Stock, which may, in the
Committee's  discretion,  consist  of  the delivery of the Employee's promissory
note  meeting  the  requirements  of  Paragraph  2.4.1, (4) establish and modify
performance  criteria  for  Awards,  and  (5)  make  all  of  the determinations
necessary  or advisable with respect to Awards under this Plan. Each Award under
this  Plan  shall  consist of a grant of shares of the Common Stock subject to a
restriction  period (after which the restrictions shall lapse), which shall be a
period  commencing  on  the date the Award is granted and ending on such date as
the  Committee  shall  determine  (the  "Restriction Period"). The Committee may
provide  for  the lapse of restrictions in installments, for acceleration of the
lapse  of  restrictions  upon  the  satisfaction  of  such  performance or other
criteria or upon the occurrence of such events as the Committee shall determine,
and for the early expiration of the Restriction Period upon an Employee's death,
Disability  or  Retirement as defined in Paragraph 2.7.3, or, following a Change
of  Control, upon termination of an Employee's employment by the Company without
"Cause" or by the Employee for "Good Reason," as those terms are defined herein.
For  purposes  of  this  Plan:

     "Change  of  Control"  shall be deemed to occur (a) on the date the Company
first  has  actual  knowledge  that any person (as such term is used in Sections
13(d)  and  14(d)(2)  of  the  Exchange Act) has become the beneficial owner (as
defined  in  Rule  13(d)-3  under  the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing 40 percent or more of the combined voting
power  of  the  Company's  then  outstanding  securities, or (b) on the date the
stockholders of the Company approve (i) a merger of the Company with or into any
other  corporation  in  which the Company is not the surviving corporation or in
which  the  Company  survives  as  a  subsidiary  of another corporation, (ii) a
consolidation  of  the  Company with any other corporation, or (iii) the sale or
disposition  of  all  or  substantially all of the Company's assets or a plan of
complete  liquidation.

     "Cause,"  when  used  with reference to termination of the employment of an
Employee by the Company for "Cause," shall mean:

               (a)     The  Employee's continuing willful and material breach of
his duties to the Company after he receives a demand from the Chief Executive of
the  Company  specifying  the  manner  in  which he has willfully and materially
breached  such  duties, other than any such failure resulting from Disability of
the  Employee  or  his  resignation  for  "Good  Reason,"  as defined herein; or

               (b)     The  conviction  of  the  Employee  of  a  felony;  or

               (c)     The  Employee's  commission of fraud in the course of his
employment  with  the  Company,  such  as  embezzlement  or  other  material and
intentional  violation  of  law  against  the  Company;  or

               (d)     The  Employee's gross misconduct causing material harm to
the  Company.

     "Good  Reason"  shall  mean  any  one  or  more of the following, occurring
following  or in connection with a Change of Control and within 90 days prior to
the  Employee's resignation, unless the Employee shall have consented thereto in
writing:

               (a)     The  assignment  to  the  Employee of duties inconsistent
with his executive status prior to the Change of Control or a substantive change
in  the  officer  or officers to whom he reports from the officer or officers to
whom he reported immediately prior to the Change of Control; or

               (b)     The  elimination  or  reassignment  of  a majority of the
duties and responsibilities that were assigned to the Employee immediately prior
to  the  Change  of  Control;  or

               (c)     A  reduction by the Company in the Employee's annual base
salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control; or

               (d)     The  Company  requiring the Employee to be based anywhere
outside  a  35-mile radius from his place of employment immediately prior to the
Change  of  Control,  except for required travel on the Company's business to an
extent  substantially consistent with the Employee's business travel obligations
immediately  prior  to  the  Change  of  Control;  or

                                        5
<PAGE>
               (e)     The  failure  of  the  Company  to  grant  the Employee a
performance  bonus  reasonably  equivalent  to the same percentage of salary the
Employee  normally  received  prior  to  the Change of Control, given comparable
performance  by  the  Company  and  the  Employee;  or

               (f)     The  failure  of  the  Company  to  obtain a satisfactory
Assumption  Agreement  (as  defined  in  Paragraph  4.13  of  this  Plan) from a
successor,  or  the  failure  of  such  successor  to  perform  such  Assumption
Agreement.

     3.2     Incentive  Agreements.  Each Award granted under this Plan shall be
             ---------------------
evidenced  by  a written agreement (an "Incentive Agreement") in a form approved
by  the Committee and executed by the Company and the Employee to whom the Award
is  granted.  Each  Incentive  Agreement  shall  be  subject  to  the  terms and
conditions of this Plan and other such terms and conditions as the Committee may
specify.

     3.3     Amendment,  Modification and Waiver of Restrictions.  The Committee
             ---------------------------------------------------
may  modify  or  amend  any  Award  under this Plan or waive any restrictions or
conditions  applicable  to  the Award; provided, however, that the Committee may
not  undertake  any  such  modifications,  amendments  or  waivers if the effect
thereof  materially increases the benefits to any Employee, or adversely affects
the  rights  of  any  Employee  without  his  consent.

     3.4     Terms and Conditions of Awards.  Upon receipt of an Award of shares
             ------------------------------
of  the  Common  Stock  under  this Plan, even during the Restriction Period, an
Employee  shall  be  the  holder  of record of the shares and shall have all the
rights  of  a  stockholder with respect to such shares, subject to the terms and
conditions  of  this  Plan  and  the  Award.

     3.4.1     Except  as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 3.4, no shares of
the  Common  Stock  received  pursuant  to  this  Plan shall be sold, exchanged,
transferred,  pledged,  hypothecated  or  otherwise  disposed  of  during  the
Restriction Period applicable to such shares.  Any purported disposition of such
the  Common  Stock  in  violation  of this Paragraph 3.4 shall be null and void.

     3.4.2     If  an Employee's employment with the Company terminates prior to
the expiration of the Restriction Period for an Award, subject to any provisions
of  the Award with respect to the Employee's death, Disability or Retirement, or
Change  of Control, all shares of the Common Stock subject to the Award shall be
immediately  forfeited  by  the  Employee and reacquired by the Company, and the
Employee  shall  have  no  further  rights  with  respect  to the Award.  In the
discretion  of  the Committee, an Incentive Agreement may provide that, upon the
forfeiture  by  an  Employee  of  Award  Shares,  the Company shall repay to the
Employee the consideration (if any) which the Employee paid for the Award Shares
on  the  grant  of  the Award.  In the discretion of the Committee, an Incentive
Agreement  may also provide that such repayment shall include an interest factor
on  such  consideration  from  the date of the grant of the Award to the date of
such  repayment.

     3.4.3     The  Committee  may require under such terms and conditions as it
deems  appropriate  or  desirable that (a) the certificates for the Common Stock
delivered  under  this Plan are to be held in custody by the Company or a person
or  institution  designated by the Company until the Restriction Period expires,
(b)  such  certificates shall bear a legend referring to the restrictions on the
Common Stock pursuant to this Plan, and (c) the Employee shall have delivered to
the  Company  a  stock  power  endorsed  in  blank relating to the Common Stock.

     4.     Miscellaneous  Provisions.
            -------------------------

     4.1     Adjustments  Upon  Change  in  Capitalization.
             ---------------------------------------------

     4.1.1     The  number and class of shares subject to each outstanding Stock
Option, the Exercise Price thereof (but not the total price), the maximum number
of  Stock  Options  that  may  be granted under this Plan, the minimum number of
shares  as  to  which  a  Stock Option may be exercised at any one time, and the
number  and  class  of  shares  subject  to  each  outstanding  Award,  shall be
proportionately  adjusted in the event of any increase or decrease in the number
of  the  issued  shares  of  the  Common  Stock which results from a split-up or
consolidation  of  shares,  payment of a stock dividend or dividends exceeding a
total of five percent for which the record dates occur in any one fiscal year, a
recapitalization  (other than the conversion of convertible securities according
to  their

                                        6
<PAGE>
terms),  a  combination  of shares or other like capital adjustment, so that (a)
upon  exercise  of  the  Stock Option, the Employee shall receive the number and
class  of  shares  the  Employee  would  have received had the Employee been the
holder of the number of shares of the Common Stock for which the Stock Option is
being  exercised  upon  the  date  of such change or increase or decrease in the
number  of  issued shares of the Company, and (b) upon the lapse of restrictions
of  the  Award Shares, the Employee shall receive the number and class of shares
the  Employee  would  have  received if the restrictions on the Award Shares had
lapsed  on  the  date  of  such  change or increase or decrease in the number of
issued  shares  of  the  Company.

     4.1.2     Upon  a  reorganization,  merger  or consolidation of the Company
with  one  or  more  corporations  as  a  result of which the Company is not the
surviving  corporation  or  in  which  the  Company  survives  as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of another corporation, or upon a sale of all or substantially all of
the  property  of  the  Company  to  another  corporation,  or  any  dividend or
distribution  to  stockholders  of more than 10 percent of the Company's assets,
adequate  adjustment  or  other provisions shall be made by the Company or other
party  to  such transaction so that there shall remain and/or be substituted for
the  Option  Shares and Award Shares provided for herein, the shares, securities
or assets which would have been issuable or payable in respect of or in exchange
for  such  Option Shares and Award Shares then remaining, as if the Employee had
been  the  owner  of  such  shares as of the applicable date.  Any securities so
substituted  shall  be  subject  to  similar  successive  adjustments.

     4.2     Withholding Taxes.  The Company shall have the right at the time of
             -----------------
exercise  of  any  Stock  Option,  the  grant  of  an  Award,  or  the  lapse of
restrictions on Award Shares, to make adequate provision for any federal, state,
local  or  foreign  taxes  which it believes are or may be required by law to be
withheld  with  respect  to  such  exercise (the "Tax Liability"), to ensure the
payment  of  any such Tax Liability.  The Company may provide for the payment of
any  Tax Liability by any of the following means or a combination of such means,
as  determined  by  the  Committee  in  its  sole and absolute discretion in the
particular  case  (1)  by requiring the Employee to tender a cash payment to the
Company,  (2) by withholding from the Employee's salary, (3) by withholding from
the  Option  Shares which would otherwise be issuable upon exercise of the Stock
Option,  or  from  the  Award  Shares  on  their  grant  or  date  of  lapse  of
restrictions,  that  number of Option Shares or Award Shares having an aggregate
Fair  Market  Value (determined in the manner prescribed by Paragraph 2.2) as of
the  date  the  withholding tax obligation arises in an amount which is equal to
the  Employee's  Tax  Liability or (4) by any other method deemed appropriate by
the  Committee.  Satisfaction  of  the  Tax  Liability of a Section 16 Reporting
Person  may  be made by the method of payment specified in clause (3) above only
if  the  following  two  conditions  are  satisfied:

               (a)     The  withholding of Option Shares or Award Shares and the
exercise  of  the  related  Stock  Option  occur at least six months and one day
following the date of grant of such Stock Option or Award; and

               (b)     The  withholding of Option Shares or Award Shares is made
either (i) pursuant to an irrevocable election (the "Withholding Election") made
by  the  Employee  at  least six months in advance of the withholding of Options
Shares  or  Award  Shares,  or  (ii)  on  a  day within a 10-day "window period"
beginning  on  the  third  business  day  following  the  date of release of the
Company's quarterly or annual summary statement of sales and earnings.

     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, a Withholding Election may
be  disapproved  by  the  Committee  at  any  time.

     4.3     Relationship  to  Other  Employee Benefit Plans.  Stock Options and
             -----------------------------------------------
Awards  granted hereunder shall not be deemed to be salary or other compensation
to  any  Employee  for  purposes  of  any pension, thrift, profit-sharing, stock
purchase  or any other employee benefit plan now maintained or hereafter adopted
by  the  Company.

     4.4     Amendments and Termination.  The Board of Directors may at any time
             --------------------------
suspend,  amend  or  terminate  this  Plan.  No amendment, except as provided in
Paragraph  3.3,  or  modification of this Plan may be adopted, except subject to
stockholder  approval, which would (1) materially increase the benefits accruing
to  the  Employees  under  this  Plan,  (2)  materially  increase  the number of
securities  which may be issued under this Plan (except for adjustments pursuant
to  Paragraph  4.1  hereof),  or  (3)  materially  modify the requirements as to
eligibility  for  participation  in  this  Plan.

     4.5     Successors  in  Interest.  The  provisions  of  this  Plan  and the
             ------------------------
actions of the Committee shall be binding upon all heirs, successors and assigns
of  the  Company  and  of  the  Employees.

     4.6     Other  Documents.  All documents prepared, executed or delivered in
             ----------------
connection  with this Plan (including, without limitation, Option Agreements and
Incentive  Agreements)  shall  be,  in  substance  and  form, as established and
modified  by  the Committee; provided, however, that all such documents shall be
subject in every respect to the provisions of this Plan, and in the event of any
conflict between the terms of any such document and this Plan, the provisions of
this  Plan  shall  prevail.

     4.7     Fairness  of  the  Repurchase Price.  In the event that the Company
             -----------------------------------
repurchases  securities  upon  termination  of employment pursuant to this Plan,
either:  (a)  the  price  will  not  be  less  than the fair market value of the
securities  to  be repurchased on the date of termination of employment, and the
right to repurchase will be exercised for cash or cancellation of purchase money
indebtedness  for the securities within 90 days of termination of the employment
(or  in the case of securities issued upon exercise of options after the date of
termination,  within  90  days  after  the  date of the exercise), and the right
terminates  when the Company's securities become publicly traded, or (b) Company
will  repurchase  securities  at  the original purchase price, provided that the
right  to  repurchase  at  the  original purchase price lapses at the rate of at
least 20% of the securities per year over five years from the date the option is
granted  (without  respect  to  the  date  the  option  was  exercised or became
exercisable)  and  the  right  to  repurchase  must  be  exercised  for  cash or
cancellation of purchase money indebtedness for the securities within 90 days of
termination  of  employment  (or  in  case of securities issued upon exercise of
options  after  the  date  of  termination, within 90 days after the date of the
exercise).

     4.8     No  Obligation  to  Continue  Employment.  This Plan and the grants
             ----------------------------------------
which  might be made hereunder shall not impose any obligation on the Company to
continue  to  employ  any  Employee.  Moreover, no provision of this Plan or any
document executed or delivered pursuant to this Plan shall be deemed modified in
any  way  by any employment contract between an Employee (or other employee) and
the  Company.

     4.9     Misconduct  of an Employee.  Notwithstanding any other provision of
             --------------------------
this  Plan,  if  an  Employee  commits fraud or dishonesty toward the Company or
wrongfully  uses  or  discloses  any  trade  secret,  confidential data or other
information  proprietary to the Company, or intentionally takes any other action
which  results  in material harm to the Company, as determined by the Committee,
in  its  sole and absolute discretion, the Employee shall forfeit all rights and
benefits  under  this  Plan.

     4.10     Term  of  Plan.  No  Stock  Option  shall be exercisable, or Award
              --------------
granted,  unless  and until the Directors of the Company have approved this Plan
and  all  other  legal requirements have been met.  This Plan was adopted by the
Board  effective  December  4,  2003.  No Stock Options or Awards may be granted
under  this  Plan  after  December  3,  2013.

     4.11     Governing  Law.  This  Plan and all actions taken thereunder shall
              --------------
be  governed  by,  and  construed  in  accordance with, the laws of the State of
Nevada.

     4.12     Approval.  This  Plan  must  be  approved  by  a  majority  of the
              --------
outstanding  securities  entitled  to vote within 12 months before or after this
Plan  is  adopted  or  the  date  the agreement is entered into.  Any securities
purchased  before  security  holder  approval  is  obtained must be rescinded if
security  holder  approval is not obtained within 12 months before or after this
Plan  is  adopted  or  the  date the agreement is entered into.  Such securities
shall  not  be  counted  in  determining  whether  such  approval  is  obtained.

     4.13     Assumption  Agreements.  The  Company will require each successor,
              ----------------------
(direct  or  indirect, whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise),
to  all  or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, prior to
the  consummation  of  each such transaction, to assume and agree to perform the
terms  and  provisions  remaining  to  be  performed  by  the Company under each
Incentive  Agreement  and  Stock  Option  and  to  preserve  the benefits to the
Employees  thereunder.  Such  assumption  and  agreement shall be set forth in a
written  agreement  in  form  and  substance  satisfactory  to the Committee (an
"Assumption  Agreement"),  and  shall  include  such adjustments, if any, in the
application  of the provisions of the Incentive Agreements and Stock Options and
such  additional provisions, if any, as the Committee shall require and approve,
in  order  to  preserve  such  benefits  to  the

                                        8
<PAGE>
Employees.  Without  limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may
require  an  Assumption  Agreement  to  include  satisfactory  undertakings by a
successor:

               (a)     To  provide  liquidity to the Employees at the end of the
Restriction  Period  applicable  to  the Common Stock awarded to them under this
Plan,  or  on  the  exercise  of  Stock  Options;

               (b)     If  the  succession  occurs  before the expiration of any
period  specified  in  the  Incentive Agreements for satisfaction of performance
criteria  applicable  to  the  Common  Stock awarded thereunder, to refrain from
interfering  with  the Company's ability to satisfy such performance criteria or
to  agree  to  modify  such  performance criteria and/or waive any criteria that
cannot  be  satisfied  as  a  result  of  the  succession;

               (c)     To  require  any  future  successor  to  enter  into  an
Assumption  Agreement;  and

               (d)     To  take or refrain from taking such other actions as the
Committee  may  require  and  approve,  in  its  discretion.

     4.14     Compliance  with  Rule  16b-3.  Transactions  under  this Plan are
              -----------------------------
intended  to  comply  with  all  applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated
under the Exchange Act.  To the extent that any provision of this Plan or action
by  the  Committee  fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the
extent  permitted  by  law  and  deemed  advisable  by  the  Committee.

     4.15     Information to Shareholders.  The Company shall furnish to each of
              ---------------------------
its  stockholders  financial  statements  of  the  Company  at  least  annually.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Plan has been executed effective as of December 4,
2003.
