AtheroGenics, Inc. hereby establishes this Plan to be called the AtheroGenics,

equity interest in the Company, to make monetary payments to certain employees
based upon the value of the Company's Stock, or based upon achieving certain
goals on a basis mutually advantageous to such employees and the Company and
thus provide an incentive for continuation of the efforts of the employees for
the success of the Company, for continuity of employment and to further the
interests of the shareholders.

                             SECTION 2 GENERAL TERMS

         2.1 Purpose of the Plan. The Plan is intended to (a) provide incentive
to employees of the Company and its affiliates to stimulate their efforts toward
the continued success of the Company and to operate and manage the business in a
manner that will provide for the long-term growth and profitability of the
Company; (b) encourage stock ownership by employees by providing them with a
means to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company by acquiring shares of
Stock or to receive compensation which is based upon appreciation in the value
of Stock; and (c) provide a means of obtaining and rewarding employees,
directors, advisors and consultants.

         2.2 Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to adjustment in accordance with
Section 5.2, 1,484,416 shares of Stock (the "Maximum Plan Shares") are hereby
reserved and subject to issuance under the Plan. At no time shall the Company
have outstanding Awards and shares of Stock issued in respect to Awards in
excess of the Maximum Plan Shares. To the extent permitted by law, the shares of
Stock attributable to the nonvested, unpaid, unexercised, unconverted or
otherwise unsettled portion of any Award that is forfeited, canceled, expired or
terminated for any reason without becoming vested, paid, exercised, converted or
otherwise settled in full shall again be available for purposes of the Plan.

         2.3 Administration of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the
Administrator. The Administrator shall have full authority in its discretion to
determine the employees of the Company or its affiliates to whom Awards shall be
granted and the terms and provisions of Awards, subject to the Plan. Subject to
the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator shall have full and conclusive
authority to interpret the Plan; to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and
regulations relating to the Plan; to determine the terms and provisions of the
respective Equity Ownership Agreements and to make all other determinations
necessary or advisable for the proper administration of the Plan. The
Administrator's determination under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made
by it selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards
under the Plan (whether or not such persons are similarly situated). The
Administrator's decisions shall be final and binding on all Participants.

         2.4 Eligibility and Limits. Participants in the Plan shall be selected
by the Administrator. No Participant may be granted Awards in excess of 30% of
the Maximum Plan Shares. In the case of Incentive Stock Options, the aggregate
Fair Market Value (determined as at the date an Incentive Stock Option is
granted) of Stock with respect to which Stock Options intended to meet the
requirements of Code Section 422 become exercisable for the first time by an
individual during any calendar year under all plans of the Company and its
Parents and Subsidiaries shall not exceed $100,000; provided further, that if
the limitation is exceeded, the Incentive Stock Option(s) which cause the
limitation to be exceeded shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Option(s).

                            SECTION 3 TERMS OF AWARDS

         3.1      Terms and Conditions of All Awards.

                  (a) The number of shares of Stock as to which an Award shall
be granted shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion,
subject to the provisions of Sections 2.2 and 2.4 as to the total number of
shares available for grants under the Plan.

                  (b) Each Award shall be evidenced by an Equity Ownership
Agreement in such form as the Administrator may determine is appropriate,
subject to the provisions of the Plan.

                  (c) The date an Award is granted shall be the date on which
the Administrator has approved the terms and conditions of the Equity Ownership
Agreement and has determined the recipient of the Award and the number of shares
covered by the Award and has taken all such other action necessary to complete
the grant of the Award.

                  (d) The Administrator may provide in any Equity Ownership
Agreement a vesting schedule. The vesting schedule shall specify when such
Awards shall become Vested and thus exercisable. The Administrator may
accelerate the vesting schedule set forth in the Equity Ownership Agreement if
the Administrator determines that it is in the best interests of the Company and
Participant to do so. Notwithstanding any vesting schedule which may be
specified in an Equity Ownership Agreement, or any determination made by the
Administrator, no award will vest if, to do so, would create a situation in
which the exercisability of any such Award would result in an "excess parachute
payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code.

                  (e) Awards shall not be transferable or assignable except by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable, during
the Participant's lifetime, only by the Participant, or in the event of the
Disability of the Participant, by the legal representative of the Participant.

         3.2      Terms and Conditions of Options. At the time any Option is
granted, the Administrator shall determine whether the Option is to be an
Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option, and the Option shall be
clearly identified as to its status as an Incentive Stock Option or a
Non-Qualified Stock Option. At the time any Incentive Stock Option is exercised,
the Company shall be entitled to place a legend on the certificates representing
the shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the Option to clearly identify them as
shares of Stock purchased upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. An
Incentive Stock Option may only be granted within ten (10) years from the date
the Plan, as amended and restated, is adopted or the date such Plan is approved
by the Company's stockholders, whichever is earlier. Incentive stock options may
only be granted to employees of the Company.

                  (a) Option Price. Subject to adjustment in accordance with
Section 5.2 and the other provisions of this Section 3.2, the exercise price
(the "Exercise Price") per share of the

Stock purchasable under any Option shall be as set forth in the applicable
Equity Ownership Agreement. With respect to each grant of an Incentive Stock
Option to a Participant who is not an Over 10% Owner, the Exercise Price per
share shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on the date the Option is
granted. With respect to each grant for an Incentive Stock Option to a
Participant who is an Over 10% Owner, the Exercise Price shall not be less than
110% of the Fair Market Value on the date the Option is granted.

                  (b) Option Term. The Equity Ownership Agreement shall set
forth the term of each option. Any Incentive Stock Option granted to a
Participant who is not an Over 10% Owner shall not be exercisable after the
expiration of ten (10) years after the date the Option is granted. Any Incentive
Stock Option granted to an Over 10% Owner shall not be exercisable after the
expiration of five (5) years after the date the Option is granted. In either
case, the Administrator may specify a shorter term and state such term in the
Equity Ownership Agreement.

                  (c) Payment. Payment for all shares of Stock purchased
pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be made in any form or manner authorized
by the Administrator in the Equity Ownership Agreement or by amendment thereto,
including, but not limited to, cash or, if the Equity Ownership Agreement
provides, (i) by delivery or deemed delivery (based on an attestation to the
ownership thereof) to the Company of a number of shares of Stock which have been
owned by the holder for at least six (6) months prior to the date of exercise
having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the
Exercise Price or (ii) by tendering a combination of cash, and Stock. Payment
shall be made at the time that the Option or any part thereof is exercised, and
no shares shall be issued or delivered upon exercise of an option until full
payment has been made by the Participant. The holder of an Option, as such,
shall have none of the rights of a stockholder.

                  (d) Conditions to the Exercise of an Option. Each Option
granted under the Plan shall be exercisable by whom, at such time or times, or
upon the occurrence of such event or events, and in such amounts, as the
Administrator shall specify in the Equity Ownership Agreement; provided,
however, that subsequent to the grant of an Option, the Administrator, at any
time before complete termination of such Option, may accelerate the time or
times at which such Option may be exercised in whole or in part, including,
without limitation, upon a Change in Control and may permit the Participant or
any other designated person acting for the benefit of the Participant to
exercise the Option, or any portion thereof, for all or part of the remaining
Option term notwithstanding any provision of the Equity Ownership Agreement to
the contrary.

                  (e) Termination of Incentive Stock Option. With respect to an
Incentive Stock Option, in the event of Termination of Employment of a
Participant, the Option or portion thereof held by the Participant which is
unexercised shall expire, terminate, and become unexercisable no later than the
expiration of three (3) months after the date of Termination of Employment;
provided, however, that in the case of a holder whose Termination of Employment
is due to death or Disability, one (1) year shall be substituted for such three
(3) month period. For purposes of this Subsection (e), Termination of Employment
of the Participant shall not be deemed to have occurred if the Participant is
employed by another corporation (or a parent or

                                      -7-
<PAGE>   11

subsidiary corporation of such other corporation) which has assumed the
Incentive Stock Option of the Participant in a transaction to which Code Section
424(a) is applicable.

                  (f) Special Provisions for Certain Substitute Options.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.2, any Option issued
in substitution for an option previously issued by another entity, which
substitution occurs in connection with a transaction to which Code Section
424(a) is applicable, may provide for an exercise price computed in accordance
with such Code Section and the regulations thereunder and may contain such other
terms and conditions as the Administrator may prescribe to cause such substitute
Option to contain as nearly as possible the same terms and conditions (including
the applicable vesting and termination provisions) as those contained in the
previously issued option being replaced thereby.

         3.3      Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock
Appreciation Right may be granted in connection with all or any portion of a
previously or contemporaneously granted Award or not in connection with an
Award. A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the Participant to receive the
excess of (1) the Fair Market Value of a specified or determinable number of
shares of the Stock at the time of payment or exercise over (2) a specified
price which, in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection
with an Option, shall be not less than the Exercise Price for that number of
shares. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Award may only
be exercised to the extent that the related Award has not been exercised, paid
or otherwise settled. The exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in
connection with an Award shall result in a pro rata surrender or cancellation of
any related Award to the extent the Stock Appreciation Right has been exercised.

                  (a) Payment. Upon payment or exercise of a Stock Appreciation
Right, the Company shall pay to the Participant the appreciation in cash or
shares of Stock (valued at the aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of
payment or exercise) as provided in the Equity Ownership Agreement or, in the
absence of such provision, as the Administrator may determine.

                  (b) Conditions to Exercise. Each Stock Appreciation Right
granted under the Plan shall be exercisable or payable at such time or times, or
upon the occurrence of such event or events, and in such amounts, as the
Administrator shall specify in the Equity Ownership Agreement; provided,
however, that subsequent to the grant of a Stock Appreciation Right, the
Administrator, at any time before complete termination of such Stock
Appreciation Right, may accelerate the time or times at which such Stock
Appreciation Right may be exercised or paid in whole or in part.

         3.4      Terms and Conditions of Stock Awards. The number of shares of
Stock subject to a Stock Award and restrictions or conditions on such shares, if
any, shall be as the Administrator determines, and the certificate for such
shares shall bear evidence of any restrictions or conditions. Subsequent to the
date of the grant of the Stock Award, the Administrator shall have the power to
permit, in its discretion, an acceleration of the expiration of an applicable
restriction period with respect to any part or all of the shares awarded to a
Participant. The Administrator may require a cash payment from the Participant
in an amount no greater than the aggregate Fair

                                      -8-
<PAGE>   12
Market Value of the shares of Stock awarded determined at the date of grant in
exchange for the grant of a Stock Award or may grant a Stock Award without the
requirement of a cash payment.

         3.5      Treatment of Awards Upon Termination of Employment or
Affiliation. Except as otherwise provided by Plan Section 3.2(e), any award
under this Plan to a Participant who incurs a Termination of Employment or
Affiliation may be canceled, accelerated, paid or continued, as provided in the
Equity Ownership Agreement or, in the absence of such provision, as the
Administrator may determine. The portion of any award exercisable in the event
of continuation or the amount of any payment due under a continued award may be
adjusted by the Administrator to reflect the Participant's period of service
from the date of grant through the date of the Participant's Termination of
Employment or Affiliation or such other factors as the Administrator determines
are relevant to its decision to continue the award.

                         SECTION 4 RESTRICTIONS ON STOCK

         4.1      Escrow of Shares. Any certificates representing the shares of
Stock issued under the Plan shall be issued in the Participant's name, but, if
the Equity Ownership Agreement so provides, the shares of Stock shall be held by
a custodian designated by the Administrator (the "Custodian"). Each Equity
Ownership Agreement providing for transfer of shares of Stock to the Custodian
shall appoint the Custodian as the attorney-in-fact for the Participant for the
term specified in the Equity Ownership Agreement, with full power and authority
in the Participant's name, place and stead to transfer, assign and convey to the
Company any shares of Stock held by the Custodian for such Participant, if the
Participant forfeits the shares under the terms of the Equity Ownership
Agreement. During the period that the Custodian holds the shares subject to this
Section, the Participant shall be entitled to all rights, except as provided in
the Equity Ownership Agreement, applicable to shares of Stock not so held. Any
dividends declared on shares of Stock held by the Custodian shall, as the
Administrator may provide in the Equity Ownership Agreement, be paid directly to
the Participant or, in the alternative, be retained by the Custodian until the
expiration of the term specified in the Equity Ownership Agreement and shall
then be delivered, together with any proceeds, with the shares of Stock to the
Participant or the Company, as applicable.

         4.2      Forfeiture of Shares. Notwithstanding any vesting schedule set
forth in any Equity Ownership Agreement, in the event that the Participant
violates a non competition agreement as set forth in the Equity Ownership
Agreement, all Awards and shares of Stock issued to the holder pursuant to the
Plan shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the Company shall return to the
holder the lesser of any consideration paid by the Participant in exchange for
Stock issued to the Participant pursuant to the Plan for the then Fair Market
Value of the Stock forfeited hereunder.

         4.3      Restrictions on Transfer. The Participant shall not have the
right to make or permit to exist any Disposition of the shares of Stock issued
pursuant to the Plan except as provided in the Plan or the Equity Ownership
Agreement. Any Disposition of the shares of Stock issued under the Plan by the
Participant, not made in accordance with the Plan or the

                                      -9-
<PAGE>   13
Equity Ownership Agreement, including, but not limited to, any right of
repurchase or right of first refusal, shall be void. The Company shall not
recognize, or have the duty to recognize, any Disposition not made in accordance
with the Plan and the Equity Ownership Agreement, and the shares of Stock so
transferred shall continue to be bound by the Plan and the Equity Ownership
Agreement.

                          SECTION 5 GENERAL PROVISIONS

         5.1      Withholding. The Company shall deduct from all cash
distributions under the Plan any taxes required to be withheld by federal, state
or local government. Whenever the Company proposes or is required to issue or
transfer shares of Stock under the Plan or upon the vesting of any Stock Award,
the Company shall have the right to require the recipient to remit to the
Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding
tax requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate or certificates for
such shares or the vesting of such Stock Award. A Participant may pay the
withholding tax in cash, or, if the Equity Ownership Agreement provides, a
Participant may also elect to have the number of shares of Stock he is to
receive reduced by, or with respect to a Stock Award, tender back to the
Company, the smallest number of whole shares of Stock which, when multiplied by
the Fair Market Value of the shares determined as of the Tax Date (defined
below), is sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local, if any, withholding
taxes arising from exercise or payment of an Award (a "Withholding Election"). A
Participant may make a Withholding Election only if both of the following
conditions are met:

                  (a) The Withholding Election must be made on or prior to the
date on which the amount of tax required to be withheld is determined (the "Tax
Date") by executing and delivering to the Company a properly completed notice of
Withholding Election as prescribed by the Administrator; and

                  (b) Any Withholding Election made will be irrevocable;
however, the Administrator may in its sole discretion approve or give no effect
to the Withholding Election.

         5.2      Changes in Capitalization; Merger; Liquidation.

                  (a) The number of shares of Stock reserved for the grant of
Options, Dividend Equivalent Rights, Performance Unit Awards, Phantom Shares,
Stock Appreciation Rights and Stock Awards; the number of shares of Stock
reserved for issuance upon the exercise or payment, as applicable, of each
outstanding Option, Dividend Equivalent Right, Performance Unit Award, Phantom
Share and Stock Appreciation Right and upon vesting or grant, as applicable, of
each Stock Award; the Exercise Price of each outstanding Option and the
specified number of shares of Stock to which each outstanding Dividend
Equivalent Right, Phantom Share and Stock Appreciation Right pertains may be
proportionately adjusted by the Administrator for any increase or decrease in
the number of issued shares of Stock resulting from a subdivision or combination
of shares or the payment of a stock dividend in shares of Stock to holders of
outstanding shares of Stock or any other increase or decrease in the number of
shares of Stock outstanding effected without receipt of consideration by the
Company.

                  (b) In the event of a merger, consolidation or other
reorganization of the Company or tender offer for shares of Stock, the
Administrator may make such adjustments with respect to awards and take such
other action as it deems necessary or appropriate to reflect or in anticipation
of such merger, consolidation, reorganization or tender offer, including,
without limitation, the substitution of new awards, the termination or
adjustment of outstanding awards,

                                      -11-
<PAGE>   15
the acceleration of awards or the removal of restrictions on outstanding awards.
Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.2 may provide, in the Administrator's
discretion, for the elimination without payment therefore of any fractional
shares that might otherwise become subject to any Award.

                  (c) The existence of the Plan and the Awards granted pursuant
to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to
make or authorize any adjustment, reclassification, reorganization or other
change in its capital or business structure, any merger or consolidation of the
Company, any issue of debt or equity securities having preferences or priorities
as to the Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, any sale or transfer of all or any part of its business or assets, or
any other corporate act or proceeding.

         5.3      Cash Awards. The Administrator may, at any time and in its
discretion, grant to any holder of an Award the right to receive, at such times
and in such amounts as determined by the Administrator in its discretion, a cash
amount which is intended to reimburse such person for all or a portion of the
federal, state and local income taxes imposed upon such person as a consequence
of the receipt of the Award or the exercise of rights thereunder.

         5.4      Compliance with Code. All Incentive Stock Options to be
granted hereunder are intended to comply with Code Section 422, and all
provisions of the Plan and all Incentive Stock Options granted hereunder shall
be construed in such manner as to effectuate that intent.

         5.5      Right to Terminate Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in any
Award shall confer upon any Participant the right to continue as an employee or
officer of the Company or any of its affiliates or affect the right of the
Company or any of its affiliates to terminate the Participant's employment at
any time.

         5.6      Restrictions on Delivery and Sale of Shares; Legends. Each
Award is subject to the condition that if at any time the Administrator, in its
discretion, shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification of
the shares covered by such Award upon any securities exchange or under any state
or federal law is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with
the granting of such Award or the purchase or delivery of shares thereunder, the
delivery of any or all shares pursuant to such Award may be withheld unless and
until such listing, registration or qualification shall have been effected. If a
registration statement is not in effect under the Securities Act of 1933 or any
applicable state securities laws with respect to the shares of Stock purchasable
or otherwise deliverable under Awards then outstanding, the Administrator may
require, as a condition of exercise of any Option or as a condition to any other
delivery of Stock pursuant to an Award, that the Participant or other recipient
of an Award represent, in writing, that the shares received pursuant to the
Award are being acquired for investment and not with a view to distribution and
agree that shares will not be disposed of except pursuant to an effective
registration statement, unless the Company shall have received an opinion of
counsel that such disposition is exempt from such requirement under the
Securities Act of 1933 and any applicable state securities laws. The Company may
include on certificates representing shares delivered pursuant to an Award such
legends referring to the foregoing

                                      -12-
<PAGE>   16
representations or restrictions or any other applicable restrictions on resale
as the Company, in its discretion, shall deem appropriate.

         5.7      Non-alienation of Benefits. Other than as specifically
provided with regard to the death of a Participant, no benefit under the Plan
shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge; and any attempt to do so shall be
void. No such benefit shall, prior to receipt by the Participant, be in any
manner liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements
or torts of the Participant.

         5.8      Termination and Amendment of the Plan. The Board at any time
may amend or terminate the Plan without stockholder approval; provided, however,
that the Board may condition any amendment on the approval of stockholders of
the Company if such approval is necessary or advisable with respect to tax,
securities or other applicable laws. No such termination or amendment without
the consent of the holder of an Award shall adversely affect the rights of the
Participant under such Award.

         5.9      Stockholder Approval. The Plan shall be submitted to the
stockholders of the Company for their approval within twelve (12) months before
the adoption of the Plan by the Board. If such approval is not obtained, any
Award granted hereunder shall be void.

         5.10     Choice of Law. The laws of the State of Georgia shall govern
the Plan, to the extent not preempted by federal law.

         5.11     Effective Date of Plan.  The Plan shall be effective as of
July 30, 1997.

         THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 to the ATHEROGENICS, INC. EQUITY OWNERSHIP PLAN
(the "Plan"), made by ATHEROGENICS, INC. (the "Company"), effective as of the
2nd day of February, 2000 (subject to the approval of the Company's
shareholders, as provided below):

                                  WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has
previously adopted the Plan, and pursuant to Section 5.8 thereof, the Board has
the right to amend the Plan at any time (subject to certain restrictions not
applicable in this case); and

         WHEREAS, at its meeting on February 2, 2000, the Board approved and
recommended to the shareholders of the Company an increase the number of shares
of the Company's common stock available for issuance upon the exercise of stock
options which may be granted under the Plan;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is amended as follows, effective as stated
above:

1.       Section 2.2 of the Plan shall be amended in its entirety as follows:

                  "2.2     Stock Subject to the Plan.  Subject to adjustment in
         accordance with Section 5.2, 3,724,416 shares of Stock (the "Maximum
         Plan Shares") are hereby reserved and subject to issuance under the
         Plan. At no time shall the Company have outstanding Awards and shares
         of Stock issued in respect to Awards in excess of the Maximum Plan
         Shares. To the extent permitted by law, the shares of Stock
         attributable to the nonvested, unpaid, unexercised, unconverted or
         otherwise unsettled portion of any Award that is forfeited, canceled,
         expired or terminated for any reason without becoming vested, paid,
         exercised, converted or otherwise settled in full shall again be
         available for purposes of the Plan."

                             EQUITY OWNERSHIP PLAN

         THIS AMENDMENT NO. 2 to the ATHEROGENICS, INC. EQUITY OWNERSHIP PLAN
(the "Plan"), made by ATHEROGENICS, INC. (the "Company"), effective as stated
in Section 2 below:

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has
previously adopted the Plan, and pursuant to Section 5.8 thereof, the Board has
the right to amend the Plan at any time (subject to certain restrictions not
applicable in this case); and

         WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it would be consistent with the
purposes of the AtheroGenics, Inc. 1997 Equity Ownership Plan (the "Plan") and
in the Company's best interest to amend the Plan to permit the grant of
non-qualified stock options to an entity of which a Director is an affiliate
(the "Alternate Grantee") in circumstances under which the Director, by reason
of his/her relationship to the Alternate Grantee, may be contractually or
otherwise barred from receiving, in his/her individual capacity, option grants
made to him by reason of his service as a Director;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is amended as follows, effective as stated
below:

1.       Section 2.4 of the Plan shall be amended in its entirety as follows:

                  "2.4     Eligibility and Limits.

                           "(a)  Participants in the Plan shall be selected by
                  the Administrator from among the classes of recipients
                  specified in Section 2.1(c), provided, however, that (i) only
                  individuals who are employees of the Company on the date of
                  grant may receive Incentive Stock Options and (ii) under the
                  circumstances specified below in this subsection (a), an
                  Alternate Grantee who is an affiliate of a Director may, at
                  the discretion of the Administrator, be granted Non-Qualified
                  Stock Options even if such entity does not meet the criteria
                  of Section 2.1(c). A grant of Non-Qualified Stock Options may
                  be made to an Alternate Grantee if the Administrator in its
                  discretion determines that (i) a Director to whom an option
                  grant would normally be made is barred from receiving or
                  retaining such grant by contractual or legal restrictions
                  applicable to him/her by virtue of his/her relationship to an
                  entity of which he/she is an affiliate (the "Alternate
                  Grantee"), (ii) the Director has refused or waived the grant
                  originally intended for him/her (and such grant has been
                  cancelled) and has informed the Administrator of the identity
                  of the Alternate Grantee; (iii) there is an appropriate
                  exemption under the Securities Act of 1933

<PAGE>   19

         pursuant to which a grant to the Alternate Payee may be made without
         meeting the registration requirements of such act; and (iv) it would
         be consistent with the purposes of the Plan and in the Company's best
         interest to make such a grant of Non-Qualified Stock Options to
         Alternate Grantee.

                           "(b)     In the case of Incentive Stock Options, the
         aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the date an Incentive Stock
         Option is granted) of Stock with respect to which Stock Options
         intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 422 become
         exercisable for the first time by an individual during any calendar
         year under all plans of the Company and its Parents and subsidiaries
         shall not exceed $100,000; provided further, that if the limitation is
         exceeded, the Incentive Stock Option(s) which cause the limitation to

     c. The Purchaser understands that the Common Stock, the Stock Purchase
Warrants and the Warrant Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance
upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States
federal securities laws, and that the Company is relying upon the truth and
accuracy of the Purchaser's representations and warranties, and the
Purchaser's compliance with its agreements, each as set forth herein in order
to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the
Purchaser to acquire the Common Stock, the Stock Purchase Warrants and the
Warrant Shares.

     d.  The Purchaser: (i) has been provided with sufficient information with
respect to the business of the Company and such documents relating to the
Company as the Purchaser has requested and Purchaser has carefully reviewed

transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly and validly
authorized by the Purchaser; and such agreements, when executed and delivered
by each of the Purchaser and the Company will each be a valid and binding
agreement of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their respective

authority to enter into this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement,
and to issue and deliver the Common Stock, the Stock Purchase Warrants and the
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Stock Purchase Warrants.

     g.   Transaction Agreements.  This Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement, and the Stock Purchase Warrants (collectively, the "Primary
Documents"), and the transactions contemplated thereby, have been duly and
validly authorized by the Company; this Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Company and this Agreement is, and the other Primary

their respective terms, except to the extent that enforcement of each of the
Primary Documents may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in
effect relating to creditors' rights generally and to general principles of
equity.

     h.   Non-contravention.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement and
each of the other Primary Documents, and the consummation by the Company of

having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties or assets.

governmental body, regulatory agency, self-regulatory organization, stock
exchange or market or the stockholders of the Company is required to be
obtained by the Company for the entry into or the performance of this
Agreement and the other Primary Documents.

4.   CERTAIN COVENANTS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

     a.     Transfer Restrictions.  The Purchaser acknowledges that, except as
provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, neither the Common Stock, the
Stock Purchase Warrants, nor the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Stock Purchase Warrants, have been, or are being, registered under the
Securities Act, and such securities may not be transferred unless (i)
subsequently registered thereunder; or (ii) they are transferred pursuant to
an exemption from such registration; and any sale of such securities made in
reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be made only in accordance
with the terms of said Rule.  The provisions of Section 4(a) and 4(b) hereof,

Primary Documents, shall be binding upon any subsequent transferee of the
Common Stock, the Stock Purchase Warrants and the Warrant Shares.

     b.     Restrictive Legend.  The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that,
until such time as the Common Stock, the Stock Purchase Warrants and/or the
Warrant Shares shall have been registered under the Securities Act or the
Purchaser demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company and its
counsel that such registration shall no longer be required, such securities
may be subject to a stop-transfer order placed against the transfer thereof,
and such securities shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the
following form:

          THESE SECURITIES (INCLUDING ANY UNDERLYING SECURITIES)
          HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
          AS AMENDED.  THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE,

          AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR AN OPINION OF
          COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO
          THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION SHALL NO LONGER BE
          REQUIRED.

     c.     Filings. The Company undertakes and agrees that it will make all
required filings in connection with the sale of the securities to the
Purchaser as required by United States laws and regulations, or by any

of a Notice on Form D (at such time and in such manner as required by the
Rules and Regulations of the Commission), and to provide copies thereof to the
Purchaser promptly upon request.

     d.   Reporting Status.  So long as the Purchaser beneficially owns the
Common Stock, the Stock Purchase Warrants or any of the Warrant Shares
issuable upon conversion thereof and is not eligible to make use of the
exemption from registration provided by Rule 144(k) of the Commission, the
Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the Commission
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and shall not terminate
its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even
if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such
termination.

     e.     Reservation of Common Stock.  The Company will at all times have
authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance a sufficient number of
shares of common stock to provide for the exercise of the Stock Purchase
Warrants.

     f.     Return of Certificates on Partial Exercise of Stock Purchase
Warrants.  Upon any partial exercise by Purchaser of Stock Purchase Warrants,
the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to Purchaser a new
Stock Purchase Warrant or Stock Purchase Warrants representing the number of
adjusted Shares covered thereby, in accordance with the terms thereof.

5.   TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS

     a.     The Company warrants that no instruction, other than the
instructions referred to in this Section 5 and stop transfer instructions to
give effect to Sections 4(a) and 4(b) hereof prior to the registration and
sale under the Securities Act of the Warrant Shares issuable upon conversion
of the Stock Purchase Warrants, will be given by the Company to the transfer
agent and that the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Stock Purchase
Warrants shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of
the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement, the Registration
Rights Agreement and applicable law.  Nothing in this Section shall affect in
any way the Purchaser's obligations and agreement to comply with all
applicable securities laws upon resale of the Common Stock, the Stock Purchase
Warrants and/or the Warrant Shares.

     b.     Purchaser shall exercise its right to exercise the Stock Purchase
Warrants by tendering to the Company the appropriate exercise price by wire
transfer, cash, check, bank draft or other method acceptable to the Company,
and by faxing an executed and completed Subscription Form to the Company, and
delivering within five business days thereafter, the original Subscription
Form (and the related original Stock Purchase Warrants) to the Company by
hand delivery or by express courier, duly endorsed.  Each date on which a
Subscription Form is faxed in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be
deemed an "Exercise Date."  The Company will cause to be transmitted the
certificates representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of any
Stock Purchase Warrants to the Purchaser via express courier as soon as
practicable after the Exercise Date relating to such Stock Purchase Warrants
(each such delivery date is referred to herein as a "Delivery Date").  For

this Warrant, on any Business Day, for all or any part of the number of shares
of Common Stock purchasable hereunder.

     In order to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, Holder shall
deliver to the Company at the office or agency designated by the Company
pursuant to Section 12: (i) a written notice of Holder's election to exercise
this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock
to be purchased; (ii) payment by cash, check or bank draft payable to the
Company of the Warrant Price in cash or by wire transfer or cashier's check
drawn on a United States bank; and (iii) this Warrant.  Such notice shall be
substantially in the form of the subscription form appearing at the end of
this Warrant as Annex A, duly executed by Holder or its agent or attorney.
Upon receipt of the items referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above,
the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, execute or cause to be executed
and deliver or cause to be delivered to Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the aggregate number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as
hereinafter provided.  The stock certificate or certificates so delivered
shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as
Holder shall request in the notice and shall be registered in the name of
Holder or, subject to Section 9, such other name as shall be designated in the
notice.  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such
certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or
any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have
become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the
Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Warrant Price.  If
this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time
of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Stock,
deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase
the unpurchased shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new
Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

     2.2. Payment of Taxes and Charges.  All shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and without any preemptive
rights.  The Holder shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes
and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issue
or delivery thereof.

     2.3. Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue a
fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrant.  As to any
fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon
such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such
final fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price per
share of Common Stock on the relevant exercise date.

3.   TRANSFER, DIVISION AND COMBINATION

     3.1. Transfer.  Subject to compliance with Section 9, transfer of this
Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be registered on
the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of
this Warrant at the principal office of the Company referred to in Section 2.1
or the office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 12,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form
of Annex B hereto duly executed by Holder or its agent or attorney.  Upon such
surrender, the Company shall, subject to Section 9, execute and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the
denomination specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to
the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so
assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled.  A Warrant, if properly
assigned in compliance with Section 9, may be exercised by a new Holder for
the purchase of shares of Common Stock without having a new Warrant issued.

     3.2.  Division and Combination.  Subject to Section 9, this Warrant may
be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the
aforesaid office or agency of the Company, together with a written notice
specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued,
signed by Holder or its agent or attorney.  Subject to compliance with Section
3.1 and with Section 9, as to any transfer which may be involved in such
division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant
or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined
in accordance with such notice.

     3.3. Expenses.  The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at Holder's
expense the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 3.

     3.4. Maintenance of Books.  The Company agrees to maintain, at its
aforesaid office or agency, books for the registration and the registration of
transfer of the Warrants.

4.   ADJUSTMENTS

     The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable, or the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise
of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth
in this Section 4.  The Company shall give Holder notice of any event
described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 at the
time of such event.

     4.1. Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations.  If at any time the
Company shall:

     (a)  take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of
entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of,
Additional Shares of Common Stock;

     (b)  subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares of Common Stock; or

     (c)  combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number
of shares of Common Stock;

     then (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be
adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder
of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be
entitled to receive after the happening of such event; and (ii) the Current
Warrant Price shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Current Warrant Price
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of
shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such
adjustment.

     4.2. Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments under this Section.  The
following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the
Current Warrant Price provided for in this Section 4:

     (a)  When Adjustments to Be Made.  The adjustments required by this
Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring
an adjustment shall occur.  For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified
event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of
its occurrence.

     (b)  Fractional Interests.  In computing adjustments under this Section
4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the
nearest 1/10th of a share.

     4.3.  Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or
Disposition of Assets.  In case the Company shall reorganize its capital,
reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another
corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there
is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the
Company), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all
its property, assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the
terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or
disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of
any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase
rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or
acquiring corporation ("Other Property"), are to be received by or distributed
to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then Holder shall have the
right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, the number of
shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the
Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable
upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such
event.  In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation
(if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual
observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this
Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations
and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed
appropriate, subject to the Holder's consent, in order to provide for
adjustments of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided
for in this Section 4.  For purposes of this Section 4.3, "common stock of the
successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of
any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other
class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and
shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other
securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock,
either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of
a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or
purchase any such stock.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3 shall
similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers,
consolidations or dispositions of assets.

     4.4.  No Voting Rights.  This Warrant shall not entitle its Holder to any
voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company.

5.   NOTICES TO HOLDER

     5.1.  Notice of Adjustments.  Whenever the number of shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, or whenever the price at which a
share of such Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants,
shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4, the Company shall forthwith prepare a
certificate to be executed by an executive officer of the Company setting
forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method
by which such adjustment was calculated, specifying the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and (if such adjustment was
made pursuant to Section 4.3) describing the number and kind of any other
shares of stock or Other Property for which this Warrant is exercisable, and
any change in the purchase price or prices thereof, after giving effect to
such adjustment or change.  The Company shall promptly cause a signed copy of
such certificate to be delivered to the Holder in accordance with Section
14.1.  The Company shall keep at its office or agency designated pursuant to
Section 12 copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available
for inspection at said office during normal business hours by the Holder, its
representatives, or any prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by the
Holder.

     5.2.  Notice of Corporate Action.  If at any time:

     (a)  the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution,
or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness,
any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to
receive any other right;

     (b)  there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or
any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or
other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business
of the Company to, another corporation; or

     (c)  there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the company;

then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i)
at least 30 Business Days' prior written notice of the date on which a record
date shall be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for
determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer,
disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 30 Business
Days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place.  Such
notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date
on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and
character thereof; and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any
such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other
property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up.  Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed
to Holder at the last address of Holder appearing on the books of the Company
and delivered in accordance with Section 14.1.

6.   NO IMPAIRMENT

     The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such term and in the
taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the
rights of Holder against impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of
Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount
payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par
value; (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant; and (c) use its best
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any
public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to
enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

7.   RESERVATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF COMMON STOCK

     From and after the date hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve
and keep available for issue upon the exercise of Warrants such number of its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit
the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants.  All shares of Common Stock
which shall be so issuable, when issued upon exercise of any Warrant and
payment therefor in accordance with the terms of such Warrant, shall be duly
and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to
preemptive rights.

     Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or in
the Current Warrant Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or
exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public
regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

8.   TAKING OF RECORD; STOCK AND WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS

     In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the Company to the
holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4
refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in each
such case take such a record as of the close of business on a Business Day.
The Company will not at any time close its stock transfer books or Warrant
transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or
transfer of any Warrant.

9.   RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY

     The Warrants and the Warrant Stock shall not be transferred, hypothecated
or assigned before satisfaction of the conditions specified in this Section 9,
which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the Transfer of any Warrant or any Warrant
Stock.  Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to be bound by the
provisions of this Section 9.

     9.1.  Restrictive Legend.  The Holder by accepting this Warrant and any
Warrant Stock agrees that this Warrant and the Warrant Stock issuable upon
exercise hereof may not be assigned or otherwise transferred unless and until
(i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel for the Holder that such
securities may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act; or (ii) a registration statement relating to such securities
has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the Commission.

     (a)  Each certificate for Warrant Stock issuable hereunder shall bear a
legend substantially worded as follows unless such securities have been sold
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act:

          "The securities represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") or any
state securities laws.  The securities may not be offered for sale, sold,
assigned, offered, transferred or otherwise distributed for value except (i)
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or any state
securities laws or (ii) pursuant to an exemption from registration or
prospectus delivery requirements under the Act or any state securities laws in
respect of which the Company  has received an opinion of counsel satisfactory
to the Company to such effect. Copies of the agreement covering both the
purchase of the securities and restricting their transfer may be obtained at
no cost by written request made by the holder of record of this certificate to
the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the
Company."

     (b)  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9, the Warrant shall be
stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:

          "This Warrant and the securities represented hereby have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state
securities laws and may not be transferred in violation of such Act, the rules
and regulations thereunder or any state securities laws or the provisions of
this  Warrant."

     9.2. Notice of Proposed Transfers.  Prior to any Transfer or attempted
Transfer of any warrants or any shares of Restricted Common Stock, the Holder
shall give five days' prior written notice (a "Transfer Notice") to the
Company of Holder's intention to effect such Transfer, describing the manner
and circumstances of the proposed Transfer, and obtain from counsel to Holder
an opinion that the proposed Transfer of such Warrants or such Restricted
Common
Stock may be effected without registration under the Securities Act or state
securities laws.  After the Company's receipt of the Transfer Notice and
opinion, such Holder shall thereupon be entitled to Transfer such Warrants or
such Restricted Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the Transfer
Notice.  Each certificate, if any, evidencing such shares of Restricted Common
Stock issued upon such Transfer and the Warrant issued upon such Transfer
shall bear the restrictive legends set forth in Section 9.1, unless in the
opinion of such counsel such legend is not required in order to ensure
compliance with the Securities Act.

     9.3. Required Registration.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file
with the Commission as soon as practicable, a Registration Statement relating
to the offer and sale of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants and shall use its best efforts to cause the Commission to declare
such Registration Statement effective in accordance with the terms set forth
in Section 2 of the Registration Rights Agreement.

     9.4. Termination of Restrictions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of Section 9, the restrictions imposed by this Section upon the
transferability of the Warrants, the Warrant Stock and the Restricted Common
Stock (or Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants) and the
legend requirements of Section 9.1 shall terminate as to any particular
Warrant or share of Warrant Stock or Restricted Common Stock (i) when and so
long as such security shall have been effectively registered under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and disposed of pursuant
thereto or (ii) when the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel
that such shares may be transferred without registration thereof under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.  Whenever the
restrictions imposed by Section 9 shall terminate as to this Warrant, as
hereinabove provided, the Holder hereof shall be entitled to receive from the
Company upon written request of the Holder, at the expense of the Holder, a
new Warrant bearing the following legend in place of the restrictive legend
set forth hereon:

          "THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY OF THE WITHIN
     WARRANT CONTAINED IN SECTION 9 HEREOF TERMINATED ON ________,
     20__, AND ARE OF NO FURTHER FORCE AND EFFECT."

All Warrants issued upon registration of transfer, division or combination of,
or in substitution for, any Warrant or Warrants entitled to bear such legend
shall have a similar legend endorsed thereon.  Whenever the restrictions
imposed by this Section shall terminate as to any share of Restricted Common
Stock, as hereinabove provided, the holder thereof shall be entitled to
receive from the Company, at the Holder's expense, a new certificate
representing such Common Stock not bearing the restrictive legends set forth
in Section 9.1.

10.  SUPPLYING INFORMATION

     The Company shall cooperate with Holder in supplying such information as
may be reasonably necessary for Holder to complete and file any information
reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a
condition to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the
sale of any Warrant or Restricted Common Stock.

11.  LOSS OR MUTILATION

     Upon receipt by the Company from Holder of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Warrant and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it
being understood that the written agreement of the Holder shall be sufficient
indemnity), and in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation hereof,
the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like
tenor to Holder; provided, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be
required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company
for cancellation.

12.  OFFICE OF THE COMPANY

     As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall
maintain an office or agency (which may be the principal executive offices of
the Company) where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration of
transfer, division or combination as provided in this Warrant, such office to
be initially located at: American Registrar & Transfer Company, Inc., 342

however, that the Company shall provide prior written notice to Holder of a
change in address no less than 30 days prior to such change.

13.  LIMITATION OF RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES

     No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by Holder to
purchase shares of Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or
privileges of Holder hereof, shall give rise to any right or liability of
Holder as a stockholder of the Company.

                                  EXHIBIT C

                        REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated as of May 26, 2000
(the "Agreement"), is made by and between GALTECH SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIALS
CORPORATION, a Utah corporation (the "Company") and VERITY GLOBAL FINANCIAL,
LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the "Purchaser").

                             W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the
date hereof among the Purchaser and the Company (the "Securities Purchase
Agreement"), the Company has agreed to issue and sell to the Purchaser:(i)
800,000 "unregistered" and "restricted" shares of the Company's $0.00025 par
value common stock at an aggregate price of $200,000 (the "Common Stock");
(ii) warrants (the "Initial Warrants") to purchase 600,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at an aggregate price of $150,000 (the "Initial Warrant
Shares"); and (ii) warrants (the "Supplemental Warrants") to purchase 400,000
shares of the Company's common stock at an aggregate price of $100,000 (the
"Supplemental Warrant Shares") (the Initial Warrants and the Supplemental
Warrants shall be referred to collectively as the "Stock Purchase Warrants;"
and the Initial Warrant Shares and the Supplemental Warrant Shares shall be
referred to collectively as the "Warrant Shares");

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Warrants, upon
exercise of the Stock Purchase Warrants, the Company will issue to the
Purchaser Warrant Shares; and

     WHEREAS, to induce the Purchaser to execute and deliver the Securities
Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration
rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
and applicable state securities laws.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Purchaser
hereby agree as follows:

1.   Definitions.

     (a)  As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:

     (i)  "Registration Statement" means a registration statement or
registration statements of the Company filed under the Securities Act covering
the Warrant Shares.

     (ii)  "Register," "Registered," and "Registration" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing a Registration Statement or
Statements in compliance with the Securities Act and pursuant to Rule 415
under the Securities Act or any successor rule providing for offering
securities on a continuous basis ("Rule 415"), and the declaration or ordering
of effectiveness of such Registration Statement by the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").

     Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

2.   Registration.

     (i)  Registration Statement. The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as
practicable, file with the Commission a Registration Statement or Registration
Statements (as necessary) on Form SB-2, covering the resale of all of the
Warrant Shares.  In the event that Form SB-2 is unavailable for such a
registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available for such a
registration.  Any Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall
register for resale all of the Warrant Shares.  Such Registration Statement
shall state that, in accordance with Rule 416 under the Securities Act, it
also covers such indeterminate number of additional Shares as may become
issuable upon exercise of the Stock Purchase Warrants (i) resulting from any
adjustment in the Exercise Price of such Stock Purchase Warrants or (ii) to
prevent dilution resulting from stock splits or stock dividends.  The Company
shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared
effective within the earliest to occur of (i) 120 days following the date
hereof; or (ii) if the Commission elects not to conduct a review of the
Registration Statement, the date which is five business days after the date
upon which either the Company or its counsel is so notified, whether orally or
in writing.  The Company shall at all times use its best efforts to file
each required Registration Statement or amendment to a Registration Statement
as soon as practicable after the date the Company becomes obligated to file
such Registration Statement or amendment, as the case may be, and to cause
each such Registration Statement or amendment to become effective as soon as
possible thereafter.

     (ii)     The Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective
pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until such date as is the earlier of (i) the
date on which all of the Warrant Shares have been sold; (ii) the date on which
the Warrant Shares (in the opinion of counsel to the Purchaser) may be
immediately sold without restriction (including without limitation as to
volume by each holder thereof) without registration under the Securities Act
and; (iii) the date which is 24 months following the date on which the
Registration Statement was declared effective (the "Registration Period").

3.   Obligations of the Company.  In connection with the registration of the
Warrant Shares, the Company shall do each of the following:

     (a)  Prepare and file with the Commission the Registration Statement
required by Section 2 of this Agreement and such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement and
the prospectuses used in connection with the Registration Statement, each in
such form as to which the Purchaser and its counsel shall not have objected,
as may be necessary to keep the Registration effective at all times during the
Registration Period, and, during the Registration Period, comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all of the
Warrant Shares covered by the Registration Statement until such time as all of
such Warrant Shares have been disposed of in accordance with the intended
methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in the
Registration Statement;

     (b)  Furnish to the Purchaser, promptly after the Registration Statement
is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the Commission, or received
by the Company, a copy of the Registration Statement, each preliminary
prospectus, each final prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto
and such other documents as the Purchaser may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the disposition of its Warrant Shares;

     (c)  Use all best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Warrant Shares
covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or blue sky
laws of such jurisdictions as the Purchaser may reasonably request; (ii)
prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and
qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof at
all times during the Registration Period; and (iii) take such other actions as
may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect
at all times during the Registration Period;

     (d)  As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event,
notify the Purchaser of the occurrence of any event of which the Company has
knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact
or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein in order to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, and to use its best efforts to promptly prepare a
supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement or other appropriate
filing with the Commission to correct such untrue statement or omission, and
to deliver a number of copies of such supplement or amendment to the Purchaser
as the Purchaser may reasonably request;

     (e)  As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event,
notify the Purchaser who holds Warrant Shares being sold (or, in the event of
an underwritten offering, the underwriters) of the issuance by the Commission
of any stop order or other suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement at the earliest possible time, and to use its best efforts to
promptly obtain the withdrawal of such stop order or other suspension of
effectiveness;

     (f)  If the offering is underwritten, at the request of the Purchaser, to
furnish on the date that Warrant Shares are delivered to the underwriters for
sale pursuant to such registration: (i) an opinion dated such date of counsel
representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to
the underwriters and to any Purchaser selling Warrant Shares in connection
with such underwriting, stating that such registration statement has become
effective under the Securities Act and that (A) to the best knowledge of such
counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued
and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or
contemplated under the Securities Act and (B) the registration statement, the
related prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereof comply as to form
in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act (except
that such counsel need not express any opinion as to financial statements or
other financial data contained therein); and (ii) a letter dated such date
from the Company's independent public accountants addressed to the
underwriters and to the Purchaser, stating that they are independent public
accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and that, in the opinion
of such accountants, the financial statements of the Company included in the
registration statement or the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereof, comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable
accounting requirements of the Securities Act, and such letter shall
additionally cover such other financial matters (including information as to
the period ending no more than five (5) business days prior to the date of
such letter) with respect to such registration as such underwriters may
reasonably request; and

     (g)  Cooperate with the Purchaser to facilitate the timely preparation
and delivery of certificates for the Warrant Shares to be offered pursuant to
the Registration Statement and to enable such certificates for the Warrant
Shares to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the
Purchaser may reasonably request, and registered in such names as the
Purchaser may request.

4.   Obligations of the Purchaser.  In connection with the registration of the
Warrant Shares, the Purchaser shall have the following obligations:

     (a)  Take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and
facilitate the disposition by the Purchaser of the Warrant Shares pursuant to
the Registration Statement.

     (b)  Furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the
Warrant Shares held by it, and the intended method of disposition of the
Warrant Shares held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the
registration of such Warrant Shares, and the Purchaser shall execute such
documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably
request.

     (c)  The Purchaser, by its acceptance of the Stock Purchase Warrants or
the Warrant Shares, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably
requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any
Registration Statement hereunder.

     (d)  The Purchaser agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the
Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d) or
3(e) above, it will immediately discontinue disposition of its Warrant Shares
pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Warrant Shares until such
copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(d)
or 3(e) shall be furnished to the Purchaser.

5.   Expenses of Registration.  All expenses, other than underwriting
discounts and commissions and other fees and expenses of investment bankers
and other than brokerage commissions, incurred in connection with
registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 3, with
respect to each Registration Statement filed pursuant hereto, shall be borne
by the Company.

6.   Indemnification.  In the event any Warrant Shares are included in a
Registration Statement under this Agreement:

     (a)  The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, each of
its officers, directors, shareholders and members, and each person, if any,
who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses (joint or several) incurred (collectively,
"Claims") to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims (or actions or
proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment thereof or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the
effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final
prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto with the Commission) or the omission to state
therein any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state or foreign securities law or any
rule or regulation under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state or
foreign securities law (the matters in foregoing clauses (i) through (iii)
being, collectively, "Violations").

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a) shall not: (i) apply
to any Claim arising out of or based upon a modification which occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the
Company by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person expressly for use in
connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such
amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (ii) with respect to any preliminary
prospectus, inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the person
asserting any such Claim purchased the Warrant Shares that are the subject
thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the
untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the preliminary
prospectus was corrected in the final prospectus, as then amended or
supplemented, if such final prospectus was timely made available by the
Company pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof; (iii) be available to the extent that
such Claim is based upon a failure of the Purchaser to deliver or to cause to
be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus
was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof; or
(iv) apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement
is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Purchaser will indemnify the Company
and its officers and directors against any Claims arising out of or based upon
a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company, by or on behalf of the Purchaser,
expressly for use in connection with the reparation of the Registration
Statement, subject to such limitations and conditions as are applicable to the
Indemnification provided by the Company in this Section 6.

     (b)  Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 6
of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental
action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be
made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the
indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and to the extent
that the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly notified, to assume control of the defense thereof with
counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified
Person, provided, however, that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to
retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the
indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the
indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified
Person and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other
party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  In such event, the
Company shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Purchaser, and
such legal counsel shall be selected by the Purchaser.  The failure to deliver
written notice to an indemnifying party within a reasonable time after the
commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of
any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 6, except to the
extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced in its ability to
such action.

     (c)  No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent
to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include
as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to
such Indemnified Person of an unconditional and irrevocable release from all
liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

7.   Contribution.  To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party
is prohibited or limited under applicable law, the indemnifying party agrees
to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the
one hand and the Indemnified Person on the other hand in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such Claim, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the indemnifying
party and the Indemnified Person shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or the omission
to state a material fact on which such Claim is based relates to information
supplied by the indemnifying party or by the Indemnified Person, and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission.  Notwithstanding the forgoing:
(i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the payor would
not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth
in Section 6; (ii) no seller of Warrant Shares guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Warrant Shares who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and (iii) contribution by any
seller of Warrant Shares shall be limited in amount to the net proceeds
received by such seller from the sale of such Warrant Shares.  The Company and
the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro-rata allocation (even if
the Purchaser and any other party were treated as one entity for such purpose)
or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in this Section.

8.   Reports Under Exchange Act.

     With a view to making available to the Purchaser the benefits of Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation
of the Commission that may at any time permit the Purchaser to sell securities
of the Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company
agrees, for so long as the Purchaser is not eligible to use Rule 144(k) for
the resale of the Warrant Shares, to:

     (i)  make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144;

     (ii) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act; and

     (iii) furnish to the Purchaser so long as the Purchaser owns Warrant
Shares, promptly upon request: (i) a written statement by the Company that it
has complied with the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act; (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or periodic report of the
Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company; and
(iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the
Purchaser to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

9.   Assignment of the Registration Rights.  The rights to have the Company
register Warrant Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be automatically
assigned by Purchaser to any transferee of all or any portion of the Stock
Purchase Warrants or the underlying Warrant Shares held by Purchaser if: (a)
Purchaser agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such
rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a
reasonable time after such assignment; (b) the Company is, within a reasonable
time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of: (i)
the name and address of such transferee or assignee; and (ii) the securities
with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or
assigned; (c) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice
contemplated by clause (b) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees
in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained
herein; and (d) the transfer of the relevant securities complies with the
restrictions set forth in Section 4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

10.  Amendment of Registration Rights.  Any provision of this Agreement may be
amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a
particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the
written consent of the Company and the Purchaser.  Any amendment or waiver
effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon Purchaser
and the Company.

11.  Miscellaneous.

     (a)  A person or entity is deemed to be a holder of Stock Purchase
Warrants or Warrant Shares whenever such person or entity owns of record such
Stock Purchase Warrants or Warrant Shares.  If the Company receives
conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more persons or
entities with respect to the same Stock Purchase Warrants or Warrant Shares,
the Company shall act upon the basis of the instructions, notice or election
received from the registered owner of such Stock Purchase Warrants or Warrant
Shares.

     (b)  Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing
(unless otherwise specified herein) and shall be effective upon personal
delivery, via facsimile (upon receipt of confirmation of error-free
transmission and mailing a copy of such confirmation postage prepaid by
certified mail, return receipt requested) or two business days following
deposit of such notice with an internationally recognized courier service,
with postage prepaid and addressed to each of the other parties thereunto
entitled at the following addresses, or at such other addresses as a party may
designate by 10 days advance written notice to each of the other parties
hereto.
