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

          (a)  Annual  Meetings  of Stockholders. (1) Nominations of persons for
               ----------------------------------
     election  to  the  Board  of  Directors  of the Company and the proposal of
     business  to  be  considered  by  the Stockholders may be made at an annual
     meeting  of  Stockholders  (a) pursuant to the Company's notice of meeting,
     (b)  by  or  at  the  direction  of  the  Board  of Directors or (c) by any
     Stockholder  of  the Company who was a Stockholder of record at the time of
     giving of notice provided for in this Bylaw, who is entitled to vote at the
     meeting  and  who  complies  with  the  notice procedures set forth in this
     Bylaw.

          (2) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an
     annual  meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of paragraph (a)(1)
     of  this  Bylaw,  the  Stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in
     writing  to  the  Secretary of the Corporation and such other business must
     otherwise  be  a  proper  matter  for  Stockholder  action. To be timely, a
     Stockholder's  notice  shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal
     executive  offices  of  the Company not later than the close of business on
     the  60th  day nor earlier than the close of business on the 90th day prior
     to  the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided,
     however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than
     30  days from such anniversary date, notice by the Stockholder to be timely
     must  be  so delivered not later than the close of business on the 10th day
     following  the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting
     is  first made by the Company. In no event shall the public announcement of
     an  adjournment  of  an  annual  meeting commence a new time period for the
     giving  of  a  Stockholder's  notice as described above. Such Stockholder's
     notice  shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the Stockholder proposes
     to  nominate  for  election  or  re-election  as a director all information
     relating  to  such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations
     of  proxies  for  election  of  directors  in  an  election  contest, or is
     otherwise  required,  in  each  case  pursuant  to Regulation 14A under the
     Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  as  amended  (including such person's
     written  consent  to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to
     serving  as  a  director if elected); (b) as to any other business that the
     Stockholder  proposes  to  bring before the meeting, a brief description of
     the  business  desired  to  be  brought before the meeting, the reasons for
     conducting  such  business at the meeting and any material interest in such
     business  of  such  Stockholder  and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
     behalf  the  proposal  is  made;  and  (c) as to the Stockholder giving the
     notice  and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or
     proposal  is  made  (i)  the  name and address of such Stockholder, as they
     appear  on  the  Company's books, and of such beneficial owner and (ii) the

                                        2
<PAGE>
     class  and number of shares of the Company which are owned beneficially and
     of  record  by  such  Stockholder  and  such  beneficial  owner.

          (b)  General.  (1)  Only  such persons who are nominated in accordance
               --------
     with  the  procedures set forth in this Bylaw shall be eligible to serve as
     directors  and  only  such  business  shall  be  conducted  at a meeting of
     Stockholders  as  shall  have been brought before the meeting in accordance
     with  the  procedures set forth in this Bylaw. Except as otherwise provided
     by  law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, the Chairman of
     the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination
     or  any  business  proposed  to  be  brought before the meeting was made or
     proposed,  as  the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth
     in  this  Bylaw  and,  if  any  proposed  nomination  or business is not in
     compliance  with  this  Bylaw,  to  declare that such defective proposal or
     nomination  shall  be  disregarded.

          (2)  For  purposes  of  this  Bylaw,  "public announcement" shall mean
     disclosure  in  a  press  release  reported  by the Dow Jones News Service,
     Associated  Press,  or  comparable  national  news service or in a document
     publicly  filed  by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission
     pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
     as  amended.

          (3)  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  provisions  of  this  Bylaw,  a
     Stockholder  shall  also  comply  with  all  applicable requirements of the
     Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations
     thereunder  with respect to the matters set forth in this Bylaw. Nothing in
     this  Bylaw  shall  be  deemed  to affect any rights (i) of Stockholders to
     request inclusion of proposals in the Company's proxy statement pursuant to
     Rule  14a-8  under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (ii)
     of  the  holders  of any series of preferred stock to elect directors under
     specified  circumstances.

     3.6     Waiver  of Notice.  Whenever these Bylaws require written notice, a
             -----------------
written  waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before
or  after  the  time  stated therein, shall constitute the equivalent of notice.
Attendance  of  a  person  at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of
such meeting, except when the person attends the meeting for the express purpose
of  objecting,  at  the  beginning  of  the  meeting,  to the transaction of any
business  because  the  meeting  is not lawfully called or convened.  No written
waiver  of  notice  need specify either the business to be transacted at, or the
purpose  or  purposes  of,  any  regular or special meeting of the Stockholders,
directors,  or  members  of  a  committee  of  the  Board.

     3.7     Adjournment of Meeting.  When the Stockholders adjourn a meeting to
             ----------------------
another  time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the
time  and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is
taken.  At  the  adjourned  meeting, the Stockholders may transact any business,
which  they  may have transacted at the original meeting.  If the adjournment is
for  more than 30 days or, if after the adjournment, the Board or a committee of
the  Board  fixes  a  new  record date for the adjourned meeting, the Board or a
committee  of  the  Board  shall  give  notice  of the adjourned meeting to each
Stockholder  of  record  entitled  to  vote  at  the  meeting.

     3.8     Quorum.  Except  as  otherwise  required  by  law, the holders of a
             ------
majority  of  all  of  the  shares of the stock entitled to vote at the meeting,
present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for all purposes at any
meeting  of  the Stockholders.  In the absence of a quorum at any meeting or any
adjournment  thereof,  the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled
to  vote who are present, in person or by proxy, or, in the absence therefrom of
all the Stockholders, any officer entitled to preside at, or to act as secretary
of,  such  meeting  may  adjourn  such  meeting to another place, date, or time.

     3.9     Organization.  Such  person as the Board may have designated or, in
             ------------
the  absence of such a person, the highest ranking officer of the Company who is
present  shall  call  to  order  any  meeting of the Stockholders, determine the
presence of a quorum, and act as chairman of the meeting.  In the absence of the
Secretary  or  an Assistant Secretary of the Company, the chairman shall appoint
someone  to  act  as  the  secretary  of  the  meeting.

<PAGE>
     3.10     Conduct  of Business.  The chairman of any meeting of Stockholders
              --------------------
shall  determine  the  order  of  business  and  the  procedure  at the meeting,
including such regulations of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion
as  he  deems  in  order.

     3.11     List  of  Stockholders.  At  least 10 days before every meeting of
              ----------------------
Stockholders, the Secretary shall prepare a list of the Stockholders entitled to
vote  at the meeting or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order,
showing  the  address of each Stockholder and the number of shares registered in
the  name  of  each  Stockholder.  The Company shall make the list available for
examination  by  any  Stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting, during
ordinary  business hours, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting,
either  at  a  place within the city where the meeting will take place or at the
place  designated in the notice of the meeting.  The Secretary shall produce and
keep the list at the time and place of the meeting during the entire duration of
the  meeting,  and  any  Stockholder  who is present may inspect the list at the
meeting.  The  list  shall  constitute  presumptive proof of the identity of the
Stockholders  entitled  to  vote  at  the  meeting and the number of shares each
Stockholder  holds.  A  determination  of  Stockholders  entitled to vote at any
meeting  of Stockholders pursuant to this Section shall apply to any adjournment
thereof.

     3.12     Fixing  of  Record  Date.  For  the  purpose  of  determining
              ------------------------
Stockholders  entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Stockholders or
any  adjournment  thereof,  or  Stockholders  entitled to receive payment of any
dividend,  or  in  order  to  make a determination of Stockholders for any other
proper  purpose, the Board or a committee of the Board may fix in advance a date
as  the  record  date  for any such determination of Stockholders.  However, the
Board  shall  not fix such date, in any case, more than 60 days nor less than 10
days prior to the date of the particular action.  If the Board or a committee of
the  Board  does  not  fix  a  record date for the determination of Stockholders
entitled  to  notice of or to vote at a meeting of Stockholders, the record date
shall  be  at  the  close of business on the day next preceding the day on which
notice is given or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next
preceding  the  day  on which the meeting is held or the date on which the Board
adopts  the  resolution  declaring  a  dividend.

     3.13     Voting  of Shares.  Each Stockholder shall have one vote for every
              -----------------
share  of  stock  having voting rights registered in his name on the record date
for the meeting.  The Company shall not have the right to vote treasury stock of
the  Company,  nor shall another corporation have the right to vote its stock of
the  Company  if  the  Company  holds, directly or indirectly, a majority of the
shares  entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation.
Persons  holding  stock  of  the  Company in a fiduciary capacity shall have the
right  to  vote such stock.  Persons who have pledged their stock of the Company
shall  have  the right to vote such stock unless in the transfer on the books of
the  Company the pledgor expressly empowered the pledgee to vote such stock.  In
that  event,  only  the pledgee, or his proxy, may represent such stock and vote
thereon.  A  plurality  of  the  votes  of  the  shares  present  in  person  or
represented  by  proxy  at  the meeting and entitled to vote shall determine all
elections  of Directors and, except when the law or Certificate of Incorporation
requires  otherwise, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in
person  or  represented  by  proxy  at  the  meeting  and entitled to vote shall
determine  all  other  matters.  Where  a separate vote by a class or classes is
required, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes, present
in  person  or  represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take
action  with respect to that vote on that matter and the affirmative vote of the
majority  of shares of such class or classes present in person or represented by
proxy  at  the  meeting  shall  be  the  act  of  such  class.  Upon demand by a
Stockholder  entitled  to  vote,  or  his  proxy, the Stockholders shall vote by
ballot.  In  that  event, each ballot shall state the name of the Stockholder or
proxy  voting,  the  number  of  shares  voted and such other information as the
Company  may  require  under  the  procedure  established  for  the  meeting.

     3.14     Inspectors.  At  any  meeting  in  which  the Stockholders vote by
              ----------
ballot,  the  chairman may appoint one or more inspectors.  Each inspector shall
take  and  sign  an  oath  to  execute  the  duties of inspector at such meeting
faithfully,  with strict impartiality, and according to the best of his ability.
The  inspectors  shall ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting
power of each; determine the shares represented at a meeting and the validity of
proxies  and  ballots;  count  all votes and ballots; determine and retain for a
reasonable  period  a  record  of  the disposition of any challenges made to any
determination  by  the inspectors; and certify their determination of the number
of  shares represented at the meeting, and their count of all votes and ballots.

                                        4
<PAGE>
The  certification  required herein shall take the form of a subscribed, written
report prepared by the inspectors and delivered to the Secretary of the Company.
An  inspector  need  not be a Stockholder of the Company, and any officer of the
Company  may  be an inspector on any question other than a vote for or against a
proposal  in  which  he  has  a  material  interest.

     3.15     Proxies.  Every  person  entitled to vote for directors, or on any
              -------
other  matter,  shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more
agents  authorized  by  a  written proxy signed by the person and filed with the
secretary  of  the Company, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after
three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.  A
proxy  shall  be  deemed signed if the Stockholder's name is placed on the proxy
(whether  by  manual  signature,  typewriting,  telegraphic  transmission  or
otherwise)  by  the  Stockholder  or  the  Stockholder's  attorney-in-fact.  The
provisions  of  Section  212(e) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware shall
govern  the  revocability  of  a  proxy  that  states  on  its  face  that it is
irrevocable.

     3.16     Action  by Consent.  Any action required to be taken at any annual
              ------------------
or  special  meeting  of  Stockholders of the Company or any action which may be
taken  at  any  annual  or  special  meeting  of such Stockholders, may be taken
without  a  meeting,  without  prior  notice and without a vote, if a consent or
consents  in  writing  setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the
holders  of  outstanding  stock having not less than the minimum number of votes
that  would  be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which
all  shares  entitled  to  vote  thereon  were  present  and  voted and shall be
delivered  to  the  Company  by delivery to its registered office, its principal
place  of  business, or an officer or agent of the Company having custody of the
book  in  which  proceedings of meetings of Stockholders are recorded.  Delivery
made  to  the  Company's  registered  office shall be by hand or by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested.  Every written consent shall bear the
date  of  signature  of  each  stockholder who signs the consent, and no written
consent  shall  be  effective  to  take the corporate action referred to therein
unless,  within  60  days  of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner
required by this section to the Company, written consents signed by a sufficient
number of holders to take action are delivered to the Company by delivery to its
registered office, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the
Company  having  custody  of  the  book  in  which  proceedings  of  meetings of
Stockholders  are  recorded.  Delivery  made  to the Company's registered office
shall  be  by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
Prompt  notice  of  the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less
than unanimous written consent shall be given to those Stockholders who have not
consented  in  writing.

resignation  shall  not  depend  upon  its  acceptance.

     4.5     Removal. Unless otherwise restricted by statute, by the Certificate
             -------
of  Incorporation,  or  by  these  Bylaws,  any  director or the entire Board of

shares  then  entitled  to  vote  at  an  election  of  directors.

     4.6     Vacancies.  A  majority  of  the remaining directors, although less

Company proper evidence of his authority to make the transfer and shall properly
endorse  and surrender for cancellation his existing certificate or certificates

certificate,  upon  the  receipt  of an affidavit from such holder to such fact.

certificate  give the Company a bond of indemnity in such form and amount as the
Board  may  direct.

despite  any knowledge or notice to the contrary or any description indicating a
representative,  pledge  or  other  fiduciary  relation, or any reference to any
other  instrument or to the rights of any other person appearing upon its record
or  upon  the  share  certificate.  However,  the  Company  may treat any person
furnishing  proof  of his appointment as a fiduciary as if he were the holder of
record  of  the  shares.

threatened  to  be  made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit  or  proceeding,  whether  civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other  than  an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact
that  he  is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is
or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or
agent  of  another  corporation,  partnership,  joint  venture,  trust  or other
enterprise,  against  expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with  such  action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner
he  reasonably  believed  to  be  in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company,  and,  with  respect  to  any  criminal  action  or  proceeding, had no
reasonable  cause  to  believe his conduct was unlawful.  The termination of any
action,  suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a
plea  of  nolo  contendere  or  its  equivalent,  shall not, of itself, create a

                                       10
<PAGE>
presumption  that  the person did not act in good faith and in a manner in which
he  reasonably  believed  to  be  in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company,  and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable
cause  to  believe  that  his  conduct  was  unlawful.

     10.2     The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened  to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit  by  or  in  the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason  of  the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the  Company,  or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer,  employee  or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust  or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually
and  reasonably  incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of
such  action  or  suit  if  he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and except
that  no  indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter
as  to  which  such  person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company
unless  and  only  to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was
brought  shall  determine  upon  application  that,  despite the adjudication of
liability  but  in  view  of  all  the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly  and  reasonably  entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court
shall  deem  proper.

     10.3     To  the  extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action,
suit  or proceeding referred to in subsections 10.1 and 10.2 of this Article, or
in  defense  of  any  claim,  issue  or  matter therein, he shall be indemnified
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him  in  connection  therewith.

     10.4     Any  indemnification  under  subsections  10.1  and  10.2  of this
Article  (unless  ordered  by  a  court)  shall  be  made by the Company only as
authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the
director,  officer,  employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he
has  met  the  applicable  standard of conduct set forth in subsections 10.1 and
10.2  of  this  Article.  Such  determination  shall be made (a) by the Board of
Directors  by  a  majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not
parties  to  such  action,  suit  or  proceeding,  or  (b) if such quorum is not
obtainable,  or,  even  if  obtainable  a  quorum  of disinterested directors so
directs,  by  independent  legal  counsel  in  a  written opinion, or (c) by the
stockholders.

     10.5     Expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees)  incurred by an officer or
director  in  defending  in  a  civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
action,  suit  or  proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by
or  on  behalf  of  such  director  or  officer to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately  be  determined  that  he  is  not  entitled to be indemnified by the
Company  as  authorized  by  this  Article.  Such expenses (including attorneys'
fees)  incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and
conditions,  if  any,  as  the  Board  of  Directors  deems  appropriate.

     10.6     The  indemnification  and  advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted  pursuant  to, the other subsections of this Article shall not be deemed
exclusive  of  any  other  rights  to  which  those  seeking  indemnification or
advancement  of  expenses  may  be  entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders  or  disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his
official  capacity  and  as  to  action  in  another capacity while holding such
office.

insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent  of  the  Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director,  officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture,  trust  or  other enterprise against any liability asserted against him
and  incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such,
whether  or  not  the Company would have the power to indemnify him against such
liability  under  this  Article.

     10.8     For  purposes  of  this  section references to "the Company" shall
include,  in  addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation
(including  any  constituent  of  a  constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or
merger  which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and

advance  the best interests of the Company, its Affiliates, and its stockholders
by  providing  those  persons  who  have  substantial  responsibility  for  the
management  and  growth  of  the  Company  and  its  Affiliates  with additional
incentives  and  an opportunity to obtain or increase their proprietary interest

16b-3  without  the  consent  of  the  shareholders  of  the  Company.

               ARTICLE IV - GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO AWARDS

     4.1     AUTHORITY  TO  GRANT  AWARDS.   The  Committee  may  grant to those
             -----------------------------
Eligible  Persons of the Company or any of its Affiliates, as it shall from time
to  time  determine,  Awards  under  the terms and conditions of this Plan.  The
Committee  shall determine subject only to any applicable limitations set out in
this  Plan,  the  number  of  shares  of  Stock to be covered by any Award to be
granted  to  an  Eligible  Person.

     4.2     DEDICATED  SHARES.   The  total  number  of  shares  of  Stock with
             ------------------
respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan shall be 1,000,000 shares.
The shares may be treasury shares or authorized but unissued shares.  The number
of  shares  stated  in  this  Section  4.2  shall  be  subject  to adjustment in
accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Section  4.5.  In  the  event  that  any
outstanding  Award  shall  expire  or  terminate  for any reason or any Award is

Eligible  Person  otherwise  than  by  will  or  under  the  laws of descent and
distribution,  and  shall be exercisable, during the Eligible Person's lifetime,
only  by him.  Restricted Stock shall be purchased by and/or become vested under
a Restricted Stock Agreement during the Eligible Person's lifetime, only by him.
Any  attempt to transfer an Award other than under the terms of the Plan and the
Agreement  shall  terminate  the  Award and all rights of the Eligible Person to
that  Award.

     4.4     REQUIREMENTS  OF LAW.  The Company shall not be required to sell or
             --------------------
issue any Stock under any Award if issuing that Stock would constitute or result
in  a  violation  by  the Eligible Person or the Company of any provision of any
law,  statute,  or  regulation  of  any governmental authority. Specifically, in
connection  with  any  applicable  statute  or  regulation  relating  to  the
registration  of  securities,  upon  exercise  of  any Option or pursuant to any
Award, the Company shall not be required to issue any Stock unless the Committee
has  received  evidence satisfactory to it to the effect that the holder of that
Option or Award will not transfer the Stock except in accordance with applicable
law,  including  receipt of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to
the  effect  that  any  proposed  transfer  complies  with  applicable law.  The
determination  by  the  Committee  on  this  matter shall be final, binding, and
conclusive. The Company may, but shall in no event be obligated to, register any
Stock covered by this Plan pursuant to applicable securities laws of any country
or any political subdivision.  In the event the Stock issuable on exercise of an
Option or pursuant to an Award is not registered, the Company may imprint on the
certificate  evidencing  the  Stock  any  legend  that  counsel  for the Company
considers  necessary  or  advisable  to  comply with applicable law. The Company

                                        3
<PAGE>
shall  not  be  obligated to take any other affirmative action in order to cause
the  exercise  of an Option or vesting under an Award, or the issuance of shares
pursuant  thereto,  to  comply  with  any  law or regulation of any governmental
authority.

     4.5     CHANGES  IN  THE  COMPANY'S  CAPITAL  STRUCTURE.
             ------------------------------------------------

     (a)     The  existence of outstanding Options or Awards shall not affect in
any  way  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 Stock or its rights, or the
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any
part  of  its  assets  or  business,  or  any other corporate act or proceeding,
whether  of  a  similar  character  or otherwise.  If the Company shall effect a
subdivision  or  consolidation  of  shares  or  other  capital readjustment, the
payment  of  a  Stock  dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of
shares of the Stock outstanding, without receiving compensation for it in money,
services  or property, then (a) the number, class, and per share price of shares
of  Stock  subject to outstanding Options under this Plan shall be appropriately
adjusted  in  such  a  manner  as  to entitle an Eligible Person to receive upon
exercise of an Option, for the same aggregate cash consideration, the equivalent
total  number  and  class  of shares he would have received had he exercised his
Option  in full immediately prior to the event requiring the adjustment; and (b)
the  number  and  class  of shares of Stock then reserved to be issued under the
Plan  shall be adjusted by substituting for the total number and class of shares
of Stock then reserved, that number and class of shares of Stock that would have
been  received  by  the  owner  of an equal number of outstanding shares of each
class  of  Stock  as  the  result  of  the  event  requiring  the  adjustment.

     (b)     If  the  Company is merged or consolidated with another corporation
and  the  Company  is  not  the  surviving  corporation,  or  if  the Company is
liquidated  or sells or otherwise disposes of substantially all its assets while
unexercised  Options  remain  outstanding under this Plan (each of the foregoing
referred  to  as  a  "Corporate  Transaction"):

     (i)     Subject  to  the  provisions  of clause (ii) below, in the event of
such  a  Corporate  Transaction,  any  unexercised  Options  shall automatically
accelerate so that they shall, immediately prior to the specified effective date
for  the  Corporate  Transaction  become  100% vested and exercisable; provided,
however,  that any unexercised Options shall not accelerate, as described above,
if  and  to  the  extent  such  Option  is,  in  connection  with  the Corporate
Transaction, either to be assumed by the successor corporation or parent thereof
(the  "Successor Corporation") or to be replaced with a comparable award for the
purchase  of  shares of the capital stock of the Successor Corporation.  Whether
or  not any unexercised Option is assumed or replaced shall be determined by the
Company  and  the  Successor  Corporation  in  connection  with  the  Corporate
Transaction.  The  Board  of  Directors  shall  make  the  determination of what
constitutes  a comparable award to the unexercised Option, and its determination
shall  be  conclusive  and  binding.  The unexercised Option shall terminate and
cease  to  remain  outstanding  immediately  following  the  consummation of the
Corporate  Transaction,  except  to  the  extent  assumed  by  the  Successor
Corporation.

     (ii)     All  outstanding Options may be canceled by the Board of Directors
as  of  the  effective  date  of  any  Corporate  Transaction,  if (i) notice of
cancellation  shall be given to each holder of an Option and (ii) each holder of
an  Option  shall have the right to exercise that Option in full (without regard
to any limitations set out in or imposed under this Plan or the Option Agreement
granting  that  Option)  during a period set by the Board of Directors preceding
the  effective  date  of  the  Corporate  Transaction  and,  if in the event all
outstanding  Options  may  not  be exercised in full under applicable securities
laws  without  registration  of  the shares of Stock issuable on exercise of the
Options,  the  Board  of  Directors may limit the exercise of the Options to the
number  of  shares of Stock, if any, as may be issued without registration.  The
method  of  choosing which Options may be exercised, and the number of shares of
Stock  for which Options may be exercised, shall be solely within the discretion
of  the  Board  of  Directors.

     (c)     In each situation described in this Section 4.5, the Committee will
make  similar  adjustments,  as  appropriate,  in outstanding Stock Appreciation
Rights.

     (d)     The  issuance  by  the  Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities  convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or property,
or  for labor or services either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights
or  warrants  to subscribe for them, or upon conversion of shares or obligations

                                        4
<PAGE>
of  the  Company  convertible into shares or other securities, shall not affect,
and  no adjustment by reason of such issuance shall be made with respect to, the
number,  class,  or price of shares of Stock then subject to outstanding Awards.

     4.6     ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(B) OF THE CODE.  No Eligible Person shall
             ----------------------------------------
exercise  the election permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code without written
approval  of  the  Committee.  Any  Eligible  Person  doing so shall forfeit all
Awards  issued  to  him  under  this  Plan.

                ARTICLE V - OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

     5.1     TYPE  OF  OPTION.  The Committee shall specify at the time of grant
             ----------------
whether  a  given  Option shall constitute an Incentive Option or a Nonqualified
Option.  Incentive  Stock  Options  may  only  be  granted  to  Employees.

     5.2     OPTION  PRICE.  The  price at which Stock may be purchased under an
             -------------
Incentive  Option  shall  not be less than the greater of:  (a) 100% of the Fair
Market Value of the shares of Stock on the date the Option is granted or (b) the
aggregate  par  value  of the shares of Stock on the date the Option is granted.
The  Committee  in  its discretion may provide that the price at which shares of
Stock may be purchased under an Incentive Option shall be more than 100% of Fair
Market  Value.  In the case of any 10% Stockholder, the price at which shares of
Stock  may be purchased under an Incentive Option shall not be less than 110% of
the  Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the Incentive Option is granted.
The  price at which shares of Stock may be purchased under a Nonqualified Option
shall  be  such  price  as  shall  be  determined  by  the Committee in its sole
discretion  but  in  no event lower than the par value of the shares of Stock on
the  date  the  Option  is  granted.

     5.3     DURATION  OF  OPTIONS  AND  SARS.  No  Option  or  SAR  shall  be
             --------------------------------
exercisable  after  the expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Option or
SAR  is granted.  In the case of a 10% Stockholder, no Incentive Option shall be
exercisable  after  the expiration of five (5) years from the date the Incentive
Option  is  granted.

     5.4     AMOUNT  EXERCISABLE  --  INCENTIVE  OPTIONS.   Each  Option  may be
             --------------------------------------------
exercised  from  time to time, in whole or in part, in the manner and subject to
the  conditions the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide in the Option
Agreement,  as  long as the Option is valid and outstanding.  To the extent that
the  aggregate  Fair Market Value (determined as of the time an Incentive Option
is  granted)  of  the Stock with respect to which Incentive Options first become
exercisable  by  the  optionee during any calendar year (under this Plan and any
other  incentive  stock  option plan(s) of the Company or any Affiliate) exceeds
$100,000,  the  portion  in  excess of $100,000 of the Incentive Option shall be
treated  as  a  Nonqualified  Option.  In  making  this determination, Incentive
Options  shall  be  taken  into account in the order in which they were granted.

     5.5     EXERCISE  OF  OPTIONS.  Each  Option  shall  be  exercised  by  the
             ---------------------
delivery  of  written notice to the Committee setting forth the number of shares
of  Stock  with  respect  to which the Option is to be exercised, together with:

     (a)     cash, certified check, bank draft, or postal or express money order
payable  to  the order of the Company for an amount equal to the option price of
the  shares;

     (b)     stock at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise (if approved
in  advance  in  writing  by  the  Committee);

     (c)     an  election  to  make  a  cashless  exercise  through a registered
broker-dealer  (if  approved  in  advance  in  writing  by  the  Committee);

     (d)     an  election  to  have  shares  of  Stock, which otherwise would be
issued  on  exercise,  withheld in payment of the exercise price (if approved in
advance  in  writing  by  the  Committee);  and/or

     (e)     any  other  form  of  payment which is acceptable to the Committee.

                                        5
<PAGE>
     As  promptly  as  practicable  after  receipt  of  written notification and
payment,  the  Company shall deliver to the Eligible Person certificates for the
number  of shares with respect to which the Option has been exercised, issued in
the  Eligible  Person's  name.  If  shares  of  Stock  are  used in payment, the
aggregate  Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock tendered must be equal to or
less  than  the  aggregate  exercise  price  of  the shares being purchased upon
exercise  of  the  Option,  and  any  difference must be paid by cash, certified
check,  bank draft, or postal or express money order payable to the order of the
Company.  Delivery  of the shares shall be deemed effected for all purposes when
a  stock  transfer agent of the Company shall have deposited the certificates in
the  United  States  mail,  addressed  to  the  Eligible  Person, at the address
specified  by  the  Eligible  Person.

     Whenever  an Option is exercised by exchanging shares of Stock owned by the
Eligible  Person,  the Eligible Person shall deliver to the Company certificates
registered in the name of the Eligible Person representing a number of shares of
Stock  legally and beneficially owned by the Eligible Person, free of all liens,
claims,  and  encumbrances  of  every  kind,  accompanied  by  stock powers duly
endorsed  in  blank  by  the  record  holder  of  the  shares represented by the
certificates (with signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company or
by  a  brokerage  firm  having  a  membership  on  a  registered  national stock
exchange).  The delivery of certificates upon the exercise of Options is subject
to the condition that the person exercising the Option provides the Company with
the  information  the  Company  might reasonably request pertaining to exercise,
sale  or  other  disposition.

     5.6     STOCK  APPRECIATION RIGHTS.  All Eligible Persons shall be eligible
             --------------------------
to  receive Stock Appreciation Rights.  The Committee shall determine the SAR to
be  awarded  from time to time to any Eligible Person.  The grant of a SAR to be
awarded  from  time to time shall neither entitle such person to, nor disqualify
such  person  from,  participation  in any other grant of awards by the Company,
whether  under  this  Plan  or  any  other plan of the Company.  If granted as a
stand-alone  SAR  Award,  the  terms  of  the Award shall be provided in a Stock
Appreciation  Rights  Agreement.

     5.7     STOCK  APPRECIATION  RIGHTS  IN  TANDEM  WITH  OPTIONS.  Stock
             ------------------------------------------------------
Appreciation Rights may, at the discretion of the Committee, be included in each
Option  granted  under  the  Plan to permit the holder of an Option to surrender
that  Option, or a portion of the part which is then exercisable, and receive in
exchange,  upon  the  conditions and limitations set by the Committee, an amount
equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Stock covered by the Option,
or  the  portion  of  it  that  was  surrendered,  determined  as of the date of
surrender,  over the aggregate exercise price of the Stock.  In the event of the
surrender  of  an Option, or a portion of it, to exercise the Stock Appreciation
Rights,  the  shares  represented  by  the  Option  or  that part of it which is
surrendered,  shall  not be available for reissuance under the Plan.  Each Stock
Appreciation  Right  issued  in  tandem with an Option (a) will expire not later
than  the  expiration of the underlying Option, (b) may be for no more than 100%
of  the  difference  between the exercise price of the underlying Option and the
Fair  Market  Value of a share of Stock at the time the Stock Appreciation Right
is  exercised,  (c)  is  transferable  only  when  the  underlying  Option  is
transferable,  and under the same conditions, and (d) may be exercised only when
the  underlying  Option  is  eligible  to  be  exercised.

     5.8     CONDITIONS  OF  STOCK  APPRECIATION RIGHTS.  All Stock Appreciation
             ------------------------------------------
Rights  shall  be subject to such terms, conditions, restrictions or limitations
as  the Committee deems appropriate, including by way of illustration but not by
way  of  limitation,  restrictions  on transferability, requirement of continued
employment,  individual  performance,  financial  performance of the Company, or
payment  of  any  applicable  employment  or  withholding  taxes.

     5.9     PAYMENT  OF  STOCK  APPRECIATION  RIGHTS.  The amount of payment to
             ----------------------------------------
which  the  Eligible  Person  who  reserves  an  SAR  shall be entitled upon the
exercise  of  each  SAR  shall  be equal to the amount, if any by which the Fair
Market  Value  of the specified shares of Stock on the exercise date exceeds the
Fair  Market  Value of the specified shares of Stock on the date of grant of the
SAR.  The  SAR  shall  be  paid  in  either  cash or Stock, as determined in the
discretion  of  the Committee as set forth in the SAR agreement.  If the payment
is in Stock, the number of shares to be paid shall be determined by dividing the
amount of such payment by the Fair Market Value of Stock on the exercise date of
such  SAR.

     5.10     EXERCISE  ON  TERMINATION  OF  EMPLOYMENT.  Unless it is expressly
              -----------------------------------------
provided  otherwise in the Option or SAR agreement, Options and SAR's granted to
Employees  shall  terminate  three  months  after severance of employment of the
Employee  from  the  Company  and all Affiliates for any reason, with or without
cause,  other  than  death,  retirement  under the then established rules of the
Company,  or  severance  for  disability.  The Committee shall determine whether

                                        6
<PAGE>
authorized  leave  of absence or absence on military or government service shall
constitute  severance  of  the  employment  of  the  Employee  at  that  time.

     5.11     DEATH.  If,  before  the  expiration  of  an  Option  or  SAR, the
              -----
Eligible Person, whether in the employ of the Company or after he has retired or
was  severed for disability, or otherwise dies, the Option or SAR shall continue
until the earlier of the Option's or SAR's expiration date or one year following
the  date  of his death, unless it is expressly provided otherwise in the Option
or  SAR  agreement.  After  the  death  of  the  Eligible Person, his executors,
administrators,  or  any persons to whom his Option or SAR may be transferred by
will  or  by  the  laws of descent and distribution shall have the right, at any
time  prior  to  the  Option's  or SAR's expiration or termination, whichever is
earlier,  to  exercise it, to the extent to which he was entitled to exercise it
immediately prior to his death, unless it is expressly provided otherwise in the
Option  or  SAR's  agreement.

     5.12     RETIREMENT.  Unless  it  is  expressly  provided  otherwise in the
              ----------
Option or SAR Agreement, before the expiration of an Option or SAR, the Employee
shall  be retired in good standing from the employ of the Company under the then
established  rules  of  the  Company, the Option or SAR shall continue until the
earlier  of  the  Option's  or SAR's expiration date or six months following the
date  of his retirement, unless it is expressly provided otherwise in the Option
or  SAR  agreement.

     5.13     DISABILITY.  If,  before  the  expiration of an Option or SAR, the
              ----------
Employee  shall  be  severed  from the employ of the Company for disability, the
Option or SAR shall terminate on the earlier of the Option's or SAR's expiration
date  or one year after the date he was severed because of disability, unless it
is  expressly  provided  otherwise  in  the  Option  or  SAR  agreement.

     5.14     SUBSTITUTION OPTIONS.  Options may be granted under this Plan from
              --------------------
time  to  time  in  substitution  for  stock  options held by employees of other
corporations who are about to become employees of or affiliated with the Company
or  any  Affiliate  as  the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing
corporation with the Company or any Affiliate, or the acquisition by the Company
or  any Affiliate of the assets of the employing corporation, or the acquisition
by  the  Company  or  any Affiliate of stock of the employing corporation as the
result  of  which  it  becomes  an  Affiliate  of  the  Company.  The  terms and
conditions  of  the  substitute  Options  granted  may  vary  from the terms and
conditions  set  out  in  this  Plan to the extent the Committee, at the time of
grant,  may  deem appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions
of  the  stock  options  in  substitution  for  which  they  are  granted.

     5.15     NO  RIGHTS  AS  STOCKHOLDER.  No  Eligible  Person  shall have any
              ---------------------------
rights  as  a  stockholder with respect to Stock covered by his Option until the
date  a  stock  certificate  is  issued  for  the  Stock.

                              ARTICLE VI - AWARDS

     6.1     RESTRICTED  STOCK  AWARDS.  The Committee may issue shares of Stock

other encumbrance and generally will be subject to vesting over a period of time
specified  in the Restricted Stock Agreement.  The Committee shall determine the

more  frequent installments, at the time of the death, disability, or retirement
of  the  holder  of  such  shares,  or  otherwise);

                                        7
<PAGE>
     (b)     a  requirement  that  the  holder  of  shares  of  Restricted Stock
forfeit, or in the case of shares sold to an Eligible Person, resell back to the
Company at his cost, all or a part of such shares in the event of termination of
the  Eligible  Person's  employment during any period in which the shares remain
subject  to  restrictions;

     (c)     a  prohibition against employment of the holder of Restricted Stock

     (d)     unless  stated otherwise in the Restricted Stock Agreement, (i)  if
restrictions  remain at the time of severance of employment with the Company and
all  Affiliates,  other  than  for reason of disability or death, the Restricted
Stock  shall  be forfeited; and (ii)  if severance of employment is by reason of
disability or death, the restrictions on the shares shall lapse and the Eligible
Person  or his heirs or estate shall be 100% vested in the shares subject to the
Restricted  Stock  Agreement.

     6.3     STOCK CERTIFICATE.   Shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered
             ------------------
in  the  name  of  the  Eligible Person receiving the Restricted Stock Award and
deposited, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company. Each
such  certificate  shall  bear  a  legend  in  substantially the following form:

     "The  transferability  of  this  certificate  and  the shares of Stock

     Rockport  Healthcare  Group,  Inc.,  2002  Stock  Option  Plan, and an
     agreement entered into between the registered owner and the Company. A

     Secretary  of  the  Company."

     6.4     RIGHTS  AS STOCKHOLDER.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the
             ----------------------
Plan and unless otherwise provided in the Restricted Stock Award agreement, each
Eligible  Person receiving a certificate for Restricted Stock shall have all the
rights  of  a  stockholder  with  respect to the shares of Stock included in the
Restricted  Stock  Award  during  any period in which such shares are subject to
forfeiture and restrictions on transfer, including without limitation, the right
to  vote such shares.  Dividends paid with respect to shares of Restricted Stock
in  cash  or property other than Stock in the Company or rights to acquire stock
in  the  Company shall be paid to the Eligible Person currently.  Dividends paid
in Stock in the Company or rights to acquire Stock in the Company shall be added
to  and  become  a  part  of  the  Restricted  Stock.

     6.5     LAPSE  OF RESTRICTIONS.  At the end of the time period during which
             ----------------------
any  shares  of  Restricted  Stock are subject to forfeiture and restrictions on
sale, transfer, alienation, pledge, or other encumbrance, such shares shall vest
and  will  be  delivered  in  a  certificate,  free  of all restrictions, to the
Eligible Person or to the Eligible Person's legal representative, beneficiary or
heir;  provided the certificate shall bear such legend, if any, as the Committee
determines is reasonably required by applicable law.  By accepting a Stock Award
and  executing a Restricted Stock Agreement, the Eligible Person agrees to remit
when  due  any  federal  and  state  income  and employment taxes required to be
withheld.

     6.6     RESTRICTION PERIOD.  No Restricted Stock Award may provide for

                          ARTICLE VII - ADMINISTRATION

     The  Committee  shall administer the Plan.  All questions of interpretation
and  application of the Plan and Awards shall be subject to the determination of
the  Committee.  A  majority  of the members of the Committee shall constitute a
quorum.  All  determinations of the Committee shall be made by a majority of its
members.  Any  decision  or  determination  reduced  to  writing and signed by a
majority  of  the  members  shall  be  as  effective as if it had been made by a
majority  vote  at  a  meeting  properly  called  and  held.  This Plan shall be
administered  in such a manner as to permit the Options, which are designated to
be  Incentive  Options,  to  qualify  as Incentive Options.  In carrying out its
authority under this Plan, the Committee shall have full and final authority and
discretion,  including  but  not  limited  to  the  following rights, powers and
authorities,  to:

                                        8
<PAGE>
     (a)     determine  the  Eligible  Persons  to whom and the time or times at
which  Options  or  Awards  will  be  made;

     (b)     determine  the  number  of  shares  and the purchase price of Stock
covered  in  each  Option  or  Award,  subject  to  the  terms  of  the  Plan;

     (c)     determine  the terms, provisions, and conditions of each Option and
Award,  which  need  not  be  identical;

     (d)     accelerate  the  time at which any outstanding Option or SAR may be
exercised,  or  Restricted  Stock  Award  will  vest;

     (e)     define  the  effect,  if  any,  on an Option or Award of the death,
disability,  retirement,  or  termination  of  employment  of  the  Employee;

     (f)     prescribe,  amend  and  rescind  rules  and regulations relating to
administration  of  the  Plan;  and

     (g)     make  all  other  determinations  and take all other actions deemed
necessary, appropriate, or advisable for the proper administration of this Plan.

     The  actions  of the Committee in exercising all of the rights, powers, and
authorities  set  out  in this Article and all other Articles of this Plan, when
performed in good faith and in its sole judgment, shall be final, conclusive and
binding  on  all  parties.

                ARTICLE VIII - AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN

     The  Board of Directors of the Company may amend, terminate or suspend this
Plan  at  any time, in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that
to  the  extent required to qualify this Plan under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, no amendment that
would  (a)  materially increase the number of shares of Stock that may be issued
under  this  Plan,  (b) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for
participation  in  this  Plan, or (c) otherwise materially increase the benefits
accruing  to participants under this Plan, shall be made without the approval of
the  Company's  stockholders;  provided  further,  however,  that  to the extent
required  to  maintain  the  status  of  any Incentive Option under the Code, no
amendment  that  would  (a) change the aggregate number of shares of Stock which
may  be  issued  under  Incentive  Options,  (b)  change  the class of employees
eligible  to  receive  Incentive  Options,  or (c) decrease the Option price for
Incentive  Options  below  the  Fair Market Value of the Stock at the time it is
granted,  shall  be  made  without  the  approval of the Company's stockholders.
Subject  to  the preceding sentence, the Board of Directors shall have the power
to  make  any  changes  in  the  Plan  and in the regulations and administrative
provisions  under it or in any outstanding Incentive Option as in the opinion of
counsel  for  the  Company  may be necessary or appropriate from time to time to
enable any Incentive Option granted under this Plan to continue to qualify as an
incentive  stock  option  or such other stock option as may be defined under the
Code  so  as  to  receive  preferential  federal  income  tax  treatment.

                           ARTICLE IX - MISCELLANEOUS

     9.1     NO  ESTABLISHMENT OF A TRUST FUND.   No property shall be set aside
             ---------------------------------
nor  shall  a  trust fund of any kind be established to secure the rights of any
Eligible  Person  under this Plan.  All Eligible Persons shall at all times rely
solely  upon  the  general  credit of the Company for the payment of any benefit
which  becomes  payable  under  this  Plan.

     9.2     NO  EMPLOYMENT  OBLIGATION.  The  granting  of  any Option or Award
             --------------------------
shall not constitute an employment contract, express or implied, nor impose upon
the  Company or any Affiliate any obligation to employ or continue to employ any
Eligible  Person.  The  right  of  the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the
employment  of  any  person shall not be diminished or affected by reason of the
fact  that  an  Option  or  Award  has  been  granted  to  him.

                                        9
<PAGE>
     9.3     FORFEITURE.  Notwithstanding  any other provisions of this Plan, if
             ----------
the  Committee  finds  by  a majority vote after full consideration of the facts
that  an Eligible Person, before or after termination of his employment with the
Company  or  an  Affiliate  for  any  reason  (a) committed or engaged in fraud,
embezzlement,  theft, commission of a felony, or proven dishonesty in the course
of  his  employment  by  the  Company or an Affiliate, which conduct damaged the
Company or Affiliate, or disclosed trade secrets of the Company or an Affiliate,
or (b) participated, engaged in or had a material, financial, or other interest,
whether  as an employee, officer, director, consultant, contractor, stockholder,
owner,  or  otherwise,  in any commercial endeavor in the United States which is
competitive with the business of the Company or an Affiliate without the written
consent  of  the  Company  or  Affiliate,  the Eligible Person shall forfeit all
outstanding  Options  and  all  outstanding  Awards, and including all exercised
Options and other situations pursuant to which the Company has not yet delivered
a  stock  certificate.  Clause  (b)  shall  not  be deemed to have been violated
solely  by  reason  of the Eligible Person's ownership of stock or securities of
any  publicly  owned corporation, if that ownership does not result in effective
control  of  the  corporation.

     The  decision  of the Committee as to the cause of an Employee's discharge,
the  damage  done  to the Company or an Affiliate, and the extent of an Eligible
Person's  competitive  activity  shall  be final.  No decision of the Committee,
however,  shall  affect  the  finality  of  the discharge of the Employee by the
Company  or  an  Affiliate  in  any  manner.

     9.4     TAX WITHHOLDING.  The Company or any Affiliate shall be entitled to
             ----------------
deduct from other compensation payable to each Eligible Person any sums required
by  federal, state, or local tax law to be withheld with respect to the grant or
exercise  of an Option or SAR, or lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock.  In
the  alternative,  the  Company may require the Eligible Person (or other person
exercising  the  Option,  SAR or receiving the Stock) to pay the sum directly to
the employer corporation. If the Eligible Person (or other person exercising the
Option  or  SAR  or  receiving  the  Stock) is required to pay the sum directly,
payment  in cash or by check of such sums for taxes shall be delivered within 10
days after the date of exercise or lapse of restrictions. The Company shall have
no  obligation  upon  exercise  of  any Option or lapse of restrictions on Stock
until  payment  has  been received, unless withholding (or offset against a cash
payment)  as  of  or  prior  to the date of exercise or lapse of restrictions is
sufficient to cover all sums due with respect to that exercise.  The Company and
its  Affiliates  shall  not  be  obligated  to  advise an Eligible Person of the
existence  of  the  tax  or  the  amount  which the employer corporation will be
required  to  withhold.

     9.5     WRITTEN  AGREEMENT.  Each  Option  and Award shall be embodied in a
             -------------------
written  agreement  which  shall  be subject to the terms and conditions of this
Plan and shall be signed by the Eligible Person and by a member of the Committee
on  behalf  of  the  Committee  and  the  Company or an executive officer of the
Company,  other  than  the  Eligible  Person,  on  behalf  of  the Company.  The
agreement  may contain any other provisions that the Committee in its discretion
shall  deem  advisable  which  are not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan.

     9.6     INDEMNIFICATION  OF THE COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.  With
             ------------------------------------------------------------
respect  to  administration  of  this  Plan,  the  Company  shall indemnify each
present  and  future member of the Committee and the Board of Directors against,
and  each  member  of the Committee and the Board of Directors shall be entitled
without  further act on his part to indemnity from the Company for, all expenses
(including  attorney's fees, the amount of judgments, and the amount of approved
settlements  made  with  a view to the curtailment of costs of litigation, other
than  amounts  paid  to  the  Company  itself)  reasonably  incurred  by  him in
connection  with  or  arising out of any action, suit, or proceeding in which he
may  be involved by reason of his being or having been a member of the Committee
and/or the Board of Directors, whether or not he continues to be a member of the
Committee  and/or  the Board of Directors at the time of incurring the expenses,
including,  without limitation, matters as to which he shall be finally adjudged
in  any  action, suit or proceeding to have been found to have been negligent in
the  performance  of  his  duty  as  a  member  of the Committee or the Board of
Directors.  However,  this  indemnity shall not include any expenses incurred by
any  member of the Committee and/or the Board of Directors in respect of matters
as  to  which  he shall be finally adjudged in any action, suit or proceeding to
have been guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of
his duty as a member of the Committee and the Board of Directors.  This right of
indemnification  shall  inure  to  the  benefit  of  the  heirs,  executors  or
administrators  of  each  member of the Committee and the Board of Directors and
shall  be in addition to all other rights to which a member of the Committee and
the  Board  of  Directors  may  be  entitled  as  a  matter of law, contract, or
otherwise.

             ------
this  Plan  shall  include  the  others and words used in the singular or plural
shall  include  the  other.

     9.8     HEADINGS.  Headings  of  Articles  and  Sections  are  included for

convenience  of  reference only and do not constitute part of the Plan and shall
not  be  used  in  construing  the  terms  of  the  Plan.

     9.9     OTHER  COMPENSATION  PLANS.  The  adoption  of  this Plan shall not
             --------------------------
affect  any other stock option, incentive or other compensation or benefit plans
in  effect  for  the  Company  or any Affiliate, nor shall the Plan preclude the
Company from establishing any other forms of incentive or other compensation for
employees  of  the  Company  or  any  Affiliate.

     9.10     OTHER  OPTIONS  OR  AWARDS.  The grant of an Option or Award shall
              --------------------------
not  confer  upon  the  Eligible Person the right to receive any future or other
Options  or  Awards  under  this  Plan,  whether or not Options or Awards may be
granted  to  similarly situated Eligible Persons, or the right to receive future
Options  or  Awards  upon  the  same  terms or conditions as previously granted.

     9.11     GOVERNING  LAW.  The  provisions  of this Plan shall be construed,
              --------------
administered, and governed under the laws of the State of Delaware.
