 ("Holder"), is entitled, subject to the  terms set forth below, to  purchase

 this Warrant (the "Purchase  Price") shall initially  be $_____;   provided,
 however, that the  Purchase Price  shall be adjusted  from time  to time  as
 provided herein.

      1.   Certain  Defined  Terms.    Capitalized  terms  used  herein   not
 otherwise defined shall have the meanings  ascribed thereto in that  certain
 Securities Purchase Agreement of even date herewith between the Company  and
 GCA Strategic Investment fund Limited (the  "Purchase Agreement").  As  used
 herein the following terms, unless the context otherwise requires, have  the
 following respective meanings:

           (a)  The term  "Company"  shall  include  Dial-Thru  International
      Corporation and  any  corporation  that shall  succeed  or  assume  the
      obligations of such corporation hereunder.

           (b)  The term  "Common Stock"  includes (a)  the Company's  common
      stock, $.001 par value  per share, (b) any  other capital stock of  any
      class or classes (however designated) of the Company, authorized on  or
      after such date,  the holders of  which shall have  the right,  without
      limitation as to amount, either to all or to a share of the balance  of
      current dividends  and  liquidating  dividends  after  the  payment  of
      dividends and distributions on any  shares entitled to preference,  and
      the holders of which shall ordinarily, in the absence of contingencies,
      be entitled to vote for the election of a majority of directors of  the
      Company (even though  the right so  to vote has  been suspended by  the
      happening of  such a  contingency) and  (c) any  other securities  into
      which or for which any of the securities described in (a) or (b) may be
      converted  or  exchanged  pursuant  to  a  plan  of   recapitalization,
      reorganization, merger, sale of assets or otherwise.

           (c)  The term "Other Securities" refers  to any stock (other  than
      Common Stock) and other securities of  the Company or any other  person
      (corporate or otherwise) that  the Holder of this  Warrant at any  time
      shall be entitled to receive, or  shall have received, on the  exercise
      of this Warrant, in lieu of or in addition to Common Stock, or that  at
      any time shall be issuable or shall have been issued in exchange for or
      in replacement of Common Stock or Other Securities pursuant to  Section
      4 or otherwise.

      1.   Exercise of Warrant.

           2.1  Method of Exercise.

           (a)  This warrant may be exercised in whole or in part (but not as
      to a fractional share of  Common Stock), at any  time and from time  to
      time during the Exercise Period by  the Holder hereof by delivery of  a
      notice of exercise (a "Notice of  Exercise") substantially in the  form
      attached hereto as Exhibit  A via facsimile to  the Company.   Promptly
      thereafter the Holder shall  surrender this Warrant  to the Company  at
      its principal  office, accompanied  by payment  of the  Purchase  Price
      multiplied by  the number  of shares  of Common  Stock for  which  this
      Warrant is  being exercised  (the "Exercise  Price").   Payment of  the
      Exercise Price shall be made, at the option of the Holder, (i) by check
      or bank draft  payable to the  order of the  Company, or  (ii) by  wire
      transfer to the  account of  the Company.   Upon  exercise, the  Holder
      shall be entitled to receive, promptly refund the excess to the Holder.
       Upon exercise, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, promptly after
      payment in full, one or more certificates, issued in the Holder's  name
      or in such  name or  names as  the Holder  may direct,  subject to  the
      limitations on transfer contained herein, for  the number of shares  of
      Common Stock so  purchased.  The  shares of Common  Stock so  purchased
      shall be deemed to be issued as of the close of business on the date on
      which the Company shall have received  from the Holder payment in  full
      of the Exercise Price (the "Exercise Date").

           (b)  Notwithstanding anything to  the contrary  set forth  herein,
      upon exercise of all  or a portion of  this Warrant in accordance  with
      the terms  hereof,  the Holder  shall  not be  required  to  physically
      surrender this Warrant  to the Company.   Rather,  records showing  the
      amount so exercised and the date  of exercise shall be maintained on  a
      ledger substantially in the form of Annex B attached hereto (a copy  of
      which shall be  delivered to the  Company or transfer  agent with  each
      Notice of Exercise).  It is  specifically contemplated that the  Holder
      hereof shall act  as the calculation  agent for all  exercises of  this
      Warrant.  In the  event of any dispute  or discrepancies, such  records
      maintained by the Holders shall be controlling and determinative in the
      absence of manifest error.  The Holder and any assignee, by  acceptance
      of  this  Warrant,  acknowledge  and  agree  that,  by  reason  of  the
      provisions of this  paragraph, following an  exercise of  a portion  of
      this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock represented by  this
      Warrant will be the amount indicated on Annex B attached hereto  (which
      may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof).

           2.2  Regulation D Restrictions.  The Holder hereof represents  and
 warrants to the Company  that it has acquired  this Warrant and  anticipates
 acquiring the shares of Common Stock  issuable upon exercise of the  Warrant
 solely for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to or
 for resale of such  securities unless such resale  has been registered  with
 the Commission or an  applicable exemption is available  therefore.  At  the
 time this Warrant is exercised, the Company may require the Holder to  state
 in the Notice of Exercise such representations concerning the Holder as  are
 necessary or  appropriate  to  assure compliance  by  the  Holder  with  the
 Securities Act.

           2.3  Company Acknowledgment.  The Company will, at the time of the
 exercise of this Warrant, upon request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge  in
 writing its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder the  registration
 rights to  which  such Holder  shall  continue  to be  entitled  after  such
 exercise  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  a  Registration  Rights
 Agreement dated the date hereof (the  "Registration Rights Agreement").   If
 the Holder  shall fail  to make  any such  request, such  failure shall  not
 affect the continuing obligation  of the Company to  afford such Holder  any
 such rights.

           2.4  Limitation on Exercise.   Notwithstanding the  rights of  the
 Holder to exercise  all or a  portion of this  Warrant as described  herein,
 such exercise rights shall be limited, solely to the extent set forth in the
 Purchase Agreement as if such provisions were specifically set forth herein.
  In addition, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
 this Warrant is  subject to reduction  as specified in  Section 10.3 of  the
 Purchase Agreement.

      2.   Delivery of Stock  Certificates, etc., on  Exercise.   As soon  as
 practicable after the  exercise of  this Warrant,  and in  any event  within
 three (3) business days  thereafter, the Company  at its expense  (including
 the payment by  it of any  applicable issue, stamp  or transfer taxes)  will
 cause to be issued in the name of  and delivered to the Holder thereof,  or,
 to the extent permissible hereunder, to such other person as such Holder may
 direct, a  certificate or  certificates for  the number  of fully  paid  and
 nonassessable shares of  Common Stock (or  Other Securities)  to which  such
 Holder shall be entitled on such  exercise, plus, in lieu of any  fractional
 share to which such Holder would  otherwise be entitled, cash equal to  such
 fraction multiplied by the then applicable Purchase Price, together with any
 other  stock  or  other  securities  and  property  (including  cash,  where
 applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant  to
 Section 2 or otherwise.

      3.   Adjustment for Extraordinary  Events.   The Purchase  Price to  be
 paid by the Holder upon exercise  of this Warrant, and the consideration  to
 be received upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be adjusted in case at  any
 time or from time to time pursuant  to Article XI of the Purchase  Agreement
 as if such provisions were specifically set forth herein.

      4.   No Impairment.    The  Company  will  not,  by  amendment  of  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 terms and in the taking of
 all such action as may be necessary  or appropriate in order to protect  the
 rights of the Holder of this  Warrant against impairment.  Without  limiting
 the generality of the foregoing, the  Company (a) will not increase the  par
 value of any  shares of  stock receivable on  the exercise  of this  Warrant
 above the amount payable therefor on  such exercise, (b) will take all  such
 action as may  be necessary  or appropriate in  order that  the Company  may
 validly and legally issue fully paid and unassessable shares of stock on the
 exercise of this Warrant, and (c) will not transfer all or substantially all
 of its properties and assets to  any other person (corporate or  otherwise),
 or consolidate with or merge into any other person or permit any such person
 to consolidate with or  merge into the  Company (if the  Company is not  the
 surviving person),  unless  such  other person  shall  expressly  assume  in
 writing and will be bound by all the terms of this Warrant.

      5.   Accountant's Certificate as to Adjustments.  In each  case of  any
 adjustment  or  readjustment  in  the  shares  of  Common  Stock  (or  Other
 Securities) issuable on  the exercise of  this Warrant, the  Company at  its
 expense will  promptly cause  independent  certified public  accountants  of
 national standing  selected by  the Company  to compute  such adjustment  or
 readjustment in accordance  with the  terms of  this Warrant  and prepare  a
 certificate setting forth  such adjustment  or readjustment  and showing  in
 detail the  facts  upon which  such  adjustment or  readjustment  is  based,
 including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the
 Company for  any additional  shares of  Common Stock  (or Other  Securities)
 issued or sold  or deemed to  have been issued  or sold, (b)  the number  of
 shares of Common  Stock (or Other  Securities) outstanding or  deemed to  be
 outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price  and the number of shares of  Common
 Stock to be received  upon exercise of this  Warrant, in effect  immediately
 prior to such issue or  sale and as adjusted  and readjusted as provided  in
 this Warrant.    The  Company  will  forthwith mail  a  copy  of  each  such
 certificate to the Holder of this Warrant, and will, on the written  request
 at any time of  the Holder of this  Warrant, furnish to  such Holder a  like
 certificate setting  forth the  Purchase Price  at the  time in  effect  and
 showing how it was calculated.

      6.   Notices of Record Date, etc.  In the event of

                (a)  any taking by the Company of a record of the holders  of
      any  class or securities  for the  purpose of  determining the  holders
      thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution,
      or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares
      of stock  of any  class or  any  other securities  or property,  or  to
      receive any other right, or

                (b)  any  capital   reorganization   of  the   Company,   any
      reclassification    or recapitalization  of the  capital stock  of  the
      Company  or any transfer of all  or substantially all the assets of the
      Company to or consolidation or merger  of the Company with or  into any
      other person, or

                (c)  any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
      winding-up of the Company,

 then and in each such event the Company will  mail or cause to be mailed  to
 the Holder of this  Warrant a notice  specifying (i) the  date on which  any
 such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or
 right, and stating the amount and  character of such dividend,  distribution
 or  right,   and  (ii)   the  date   on  which   any  such   reorganization,
 reclassification,   recapitalization,   transfer,   consolidation,   merger,
 dissolution, liquidation or winding-up  is to take place,  and the time,  if
 any, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
 shall be  entitled  to exchange  their  shares  of Common  Stock  (or  Other
 Securities) for then and in each such  event the Company will mail or  cause
 to be mailed to the Holder of this Warrant a notice specifying (i) the  date

 distribution or right, and stating the amount of character of such dividend,
 distribution or right, and (ii) the  date on which any such  reorganization,

 reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation,
 merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.  Such notice shall be mailed
 at least 20 days  prior to the date  specified in such  notice on which  any
 action is to be taken.

      7.   Reservation of Stock, etc.  Issuable on Exercise of Warrant.   The
 Company will at all  times reserve and keep  available, solely for  issuance
 and delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock (or
 Other Securities)  from  time to  time  issuable  on the  exercise  of  this
 Warrant.

      8.   Exchange of Warrant.

           (a)  On surrender for exchange of this Warrant, properly  endorsed
 and in compliance with the restrictions on transfer set forth in the  legend
 on the face of this Warrant, to the Company, the Company at its expense will

 Holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default  by

 authorized to represent himself as absolute owner hereof and is empowered to
 transfer absolute title hereto by endorsement and delivery hereof to a  bona
 fide purchaser  hereof   for value;  each prior  taker or  owner waives  and
 renounces all of his  equities or rights  in this Warrant  in favor of  such
 bona fide  purchaser,  and  each such  bona  fide  purchaser  shall  acquire

 Company, at the  request of Holder,  shall redeem  all outstanding  Warrants
 that remain unexercised at a redemption price equal to the greater of (x) an
 appraised value of the Warrants, as determined by Black Sholes,  on the date
 they are called for redemption and (y) the number of Warrants being redeemed
 multiplied by the excess of (A) the average Closing Bid Price of the  Common
 Stock for  the five  Trading Days  immediately prior  to the  date that  the
 Warrants are  called for  redemption  over (B)  the  exercise price  of  the
 Warrants.

      14.  Notices, etc..   All  notices and  other communications  from  the
 Company to  the  Holder of  this  Warrant shall  be  mailed by  first  class
 registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,  at such address as may  have

 Holder furnishes to the Company any address, then to, and at the address of,
 the last Holder  of this  Warrant who  has so  furnished an  address to  the
 Company.

      15.  Miscellaneous.  This Warrant and any  term hereof may be  changed,
 waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed  by
 the party against  which enforcement of  such change,  waiver, discharge  or
 termination is sought.   This   Warrant shall be  construed and enforced  in

     3.    ADMINISTRATION.

           3.01  Option Committee.  The Plan shall ultimately be administered
by the Board's Compensation and Stock Option Committee (the "Option
Committee"). The Option Committee shall consist of 2 or more non-employee
directors.  The Committee, in its discretion, may delegate to officers of the
Company the authority, within parameters established from time to time by the
Option Committee, to make decisions and to take actions which otherwise would
be in the discretion of the Option Committee under the Plan.

          3.02  Evidence of Grant.  The Option Committee shall grant Options
to employees chosen by the Option Committee to participate in the Plan. Each
grant shall be made under, and in accordance with, the provisions of the
Plan.  Each Option granted shall be evidenced by a written stock option
agreement in a form and containing provisions which are not inconsistent with
this Plan.

          3.03  Committee Authority.  The Option Committee has full and final
authority and discretion to interpret provisions of the Plan, to determine
from time to time the individuals in the group eligible for Options and the
number of shares to be affected by each Option; to determine the purchase
price of the shares affected by each Option and the time or

                                   3

times at which Options shall be granted; to determine the conditions for
grant, exercise, expiration or forfeiture of Options; to make, amend and
rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; to determine the terms
and provisions of the instruments by which Options shall be evidenced; and to
make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration
of the Plan.  The Option Committee may, from time to time, adopt and change
rules and regulations of general application for the Plan's administration.
The Option Committee's interpretation of the Plan and its rules and
regulations, and all actions taken and determinations made by the plan
administrator pursuant to the Plan, shall be conclusive and binding on all
those who are involved or affected.

     4.   ELIGIBILITY.  Subject to the following sentence, the persons
eligible to participate in the Plan as recipients of Options are the
employees of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company (the
"employees").   Notwithstanding the foregoing, any person who is a
participant in the CBRL Group Long Term Incentive Plan shall not be eligible
to participate in or receive options under the Plan.  Nothing contained in
this Plan, nor in any Option granted pursuant to the Plan, shall confer upon
any employee any right to continue in the employment of the Company or any
Subsidiary nor limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to
terminate any employee's employment at any time.

     5.   SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

          5.01  Shares Affected.  The shares to be granted and delivered by
the Company upon exercise of Options are shares of Common Stock, which may be
either authorized but unissued shares, or so-called "treasury shares"
reacquired by the Company, in the discretion of the Option Committee.

          5.02  Number of Shares.  The aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock which may be granted under this Plan shall not exceed 4,750,000 shares.
However, that number shall be adjusted as provided in Section 8 of this Plan
for stock splits, stock dividends, exchanges of shares, or the like occurring
after the Effective Date.  No Option may be granted under this Plan which at
the time could cause the maximum limit of shares to be exceeded.

          5.03  Effect of Expired Options.  Shares covered by an Option which
is no longer exercisable with respect to those shares shall again be
available to support grants of Options under this Plan.

     6.   TERMS OF OPTIONS.  Options shall include the following terms and
conditions:

          a. Option Price.  The Option price per share shall be the Fair
Market Value of the Company's Common Stock.

          b. Time and Issuance of Options.  From time to time the Option
Committee shall select, from among those who are eligible, the individuals to
whom Options shall be granted and shall determine the number of shares to be
affected by each Option.  The date of the grant shall be determined by the
date on which the Option recommendation is approved, or

                                     4

selection of an employee as a participant in any grant under the Plan is
made, by the Option Committee.  Participation in the Plan or management's
recommendation of a grant shall not, and shall not be deemed to, entitle the
employee to any Option prior to the time it is actually granted by the Option
Committee; and the granting of any Option under the Plan shall not, and shall
not be deemed to, entitle an employee to, or to disqualify the employee from,
any participation in any other grant of Options under the Plan.  In making
any determination as to individuals to whom Options shall be granted and as
to the number of shares to be affected by the Options, the Option Committee
shall take into account the duties of the respective individuals, their
present and potential contributions to the success of the Company, and any
other factors the Option Committee deems relevant in accomplishing the
purposes of the Plan.

          c. Period Within Which Option May be Exercised.  Each Option shall
specify the rate at which the Option vests or becomes exercisable, which rate
shall be in the discretion of the Option Committee.  Each Option also shall
specify that the Option shall expire at the end of a specified period, which
shall not exceed ten (10) years.

          d. Limited Transferability.  No Option may be assigned, pledged or
transferred by an Optionee other than by will or by the applicable laws of
descent and distribution. The Option Committee, in its sole discretion, may
permit an Optionee to designate a beneficiary who may exercise the Option
after the Optionee's death but any affected Option shall remain subject to
all the same terms and conditions contained in the instrument evidencing the
Option.

          e. Amendment of Options.  Material amendments to an outstanding
Option require approval by the Option Committee and must be agreed upon by
the Optionee.

          f. Exercise After Termination of Service.  If an Optionee's
employment with the Company is terminated, then in the following described
circumstances, the Optionee shall have the specified time periods within
which to exercise the Optionee's unexercised options, or portions of them:

              (1) Death or Disability.  If an Optionee dies (i) while an
employee of the Company or of a Subsidiary or (ii) within 90 days after
termination of that employment, other than termination for Just Cause, the
Options may be exercised, to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to do
so at the date of termination of employment, by the person or persons to whom
the Optionee's rights under the Option pass by will or applicable law, or if
no person has that right, by the executors or administrators, at any time, or
from time to time, for a period of one year after the date of the Optionee's
death, but no Option may ever be exercised later than its specified
expiration date.  If an Optionee's employment with the Company is terminated
as a result of Disability, the Optionee may exercise Options, to the extent
the Optionee was entitled to do so at the date of termination of employment,
for a period of one year, but no Option may ever be exercised later than its
specified expiration date.

              (2) Termination of Employment.  If an Optionee's employment
with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than
Disability, Retirement, death or Just Cause, he or she may exercise Options,
to the extent that he or she was entitled to do so at the date of termination
of employment, at any time, or from time to time, for a period of 90 days

                                  5

after the date of termination, but no Option may ever be exercised later than
its specified expiration date. Absences for military service for 180 days or
less shall not constitute termination of employment. In all other cases, the
Option Committee shall determine whether authorized leaves of absence for
military or governmental service shall constitute termination of employment
for purposes of this Plan.  If an Optionee's employment with the Company or
any Subsidiary is terminated for Just Cause, all the employee's Options shall
be terminated as of the date of the employee's termination and will no longer
be exercisable.

              (3) Retirement.  If an Optionee ceases to be an employee by
Retirement, the former employee may exercise Options, to the extent the
Optionee was entitled to do so at the date of termination, at any time during
the remaining life of the Options, but no Option may ever be exercised later
than its specified expiration date.

          g.   Shareholder Rights.  The Optionee shall have no rights as a
shareholder with respect to any shares covered by Options until the issuance
of a stock certificate to the Optionee for the affected shares.  No
adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record
date is prior to the issuance of the stock certificate, except as provided in
Section 8 of this Plan.

          h. Partial Exercise.  Unless specifically stated otherwise in the
option grant, any exercise of an Option may be made in whole or in part.

     7.   EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.

          7.01  Determination of Procedures.  The Option Committee has the
right to determine the manner in which Options may be exercised pursuant to
this Plan.  The exercise procedures shall be stated in each stock option
agreement.  The manner of exercising Options may vary from grant to grant, at
the discretion of the Option Committee.

          7.02  Method of Exercise.  Unless specified otherwise in the
applicable stock option agreement, an Option granted under this Plan may be
exercised by written notice to the Company, signed by the Optionee, or by any
other person entitled to exercise the Option.  The notice of exercise shall
be delivered to the Company at its principal office (Attention: Corporate
Secretary), shall state the number of shares with respect to which the Option
is being exercised, and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option
price for the affected shares.  Upon the exercise of an Option and full
payment for it, as soon as practicable the Company shall cause a certificate
or certificates for the number of shares with respect to which the Option is
properly exercised  to be delivered to the exercising Optionee. The shares of
Common Stock shall be registered in the name of the exercising Optionee, or
in any name jointly with him or her that the Optionee directs in the written
notice of exercise.  It is a condition to the obligation of the Company to
issue or transfer shares of Common Stock upon exercise of an Option that the
Optionee pay to the Company, upon its demand, all amounts requested by the
Company for the purpose of satisfying its liability to withhold federal,
state or local income or other taxes incurred because of the exercise of the
Option or the transfer of the affected shares.  If the amount requested is
not paid, the Company may refuse to issue or transfer shares of stock upon
exercise

                                      6

of an Option.  All shares issued upon the proper exercise of the Option, with
full payment as required, shall be fully paid and nonassessable.

          7.03 Payment of Purchase Price.  Shares purchased by exercising an
Option shall be paid for in full by delivery to the Company of consideration
equal to the product of each option price and the number of shares purchased,
plus applicable taxes.  The consideration shall be paid in cash or by check.
 In addition, in the sole discretion of the Option Committee (or any
authorized person designated by that Committee), a combination of cash, check
and one or more of the following alternatives may be used as payment for the
exercise of an Option:

              a. tendering (either actually or, if and so long as the Common
Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, by
attestation) or constructively surrendering Common Stock already owned by the
Optionee for at least 6 months having a Fair Market Value on the exercise
date equal to the total Option exercise price; or

              b. if and so long as the Common Stock is registered under
Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, delivery of a properly executed
exercise notice, together with irrevocable instructions, to a brokerage firm
designated by the Company (which will promptly deliver to the Company the
aggregate amount of sale or loan proceeds needed to pay the exercise price
and any withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the
exercise), and to the Company (which will cause its transfer agent to deliver
the certificates for purchased shares directly to the brokerage firm), all in
accordance with the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board; or

              c. any other consideration the Option Committee may permit.

          7.04 Withholding.  The Company's obligation to deliver shares on
the exercise of any Option is subject to satisfaction of any applicable
United States federal, state and local tax withholding requirements.
Applicable withholding obligations shall be determined as of the exercise
date of any Option, i.e., the later of the date the Company receives a notice
of exercise or the full payment of the exercise price.  The Option Committee
may, in its sole discretion, permit the Optionee to satisfy withholding
obligations, in whole or in part, by paying cash or by transferring to the
Company shares of Common Stock already owned by the Optionee for at least 6
months, in amounts based on Fair Market Value equal to the withholding
obligation.

     8.   ADJUSTMENTS TO REFLECT CAPITAL CHANGES.  The following adjustments
shall be made to reflect changes in the capitalization of the Company:

          a. Recapitalization.  The number and kinds of shares subject to
outstanding Options, the exercise prices for those shares, and the number and
kinds of shares available for Options subsequently granted under the Plan
shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split,
combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other change in
capitalization with a similar substantive effect upon the number of shares of
Common Stock then issued and outstanding and the number of shares available
to be delivered upon exercise of Options.  The Option Committee shall have
the power to determine the amount of the adjustment to be made in each case.

                                     7

          b. Certain Reorganizations. After any reorganization, merger or
consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, each
Optionee shall, at no additional cost, be entitled to exercise all of his or
her Options, whether vested or not, and (subject to any required action by
shareholders) upon any exercise of any Option, to receive in lieu of the
number of shares of the Common Stock exercisable pursuant to the Option, the
number and class of shares of stock or other securities to which that
Optionee would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the
reorganization, merger or consolidation if, at the time of the reorganization
or other action, that Optionee had been the holder of record of a number of
shares of stock equal to the total number of shares covered by all his or her
Options.  Comparable rights shall accrue to each Optionee in the event of
successive reorganizations, mergers or consolidations in which the then
existing corporation is not the surviving corporation.

          c. Effect of Change in Control.  In the event of any Change in
Control, notwithstanding other provisions of this Plan or any contrary
vesting schedule in any Option  grant and agreement, unless the applicable
Option agreement specifically provides that this provision shall not apply,
all Options then outstanding under the Plan shall be deemed to be fully
vested and immediately exercisable (without regard to any limitation imposed
by the Plan or the Board at the time the Options were granted which permits
all or any part of the Options to be exercised only after the lapse of time),
as of the effective date of the Change in Control.

     9.   AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN.  The Board may from time to
time, with respect to any Common Stock on which Options have not been
granted, amend in any respect, suspend or discontinue the Plan. However, no
action may alter or impair an Optionee's rights under any outstanding Options
without the Optionee's consent.

     10.  INDEMNIFICATION OF OPTION COMMITTEE.  In addition to all other
rights of indemnification they may have as members of the Board or as members
of the Option Committee, the members of the Option Committee shall be
indemnified by the Company against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred
by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which they or
any of them may be party by reason of any action taken, or failure to act,
under or in connection with the Plan, or any Option withheld or granted under
the Plan, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement of those matters
(provided the settlement is approved by legal counsel selected by the
Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action,
suit or proceeding, except a judgment based upon a finding of bad faith.
Upon the institution of any action, suit or proceeding, the affected Option
Committee member shall notify the Company in writing, giving the  Company an
opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the matter before the
Option Committee member undertakes to handle it on his or her own behalf.

     11.  NO RIGHT TO RECEIVE OPTIONS.  Neither the adoption of the Plan nor
any action of the Option Committee shall, or shall be deemed to, give any
person any right to be granted an Option, or any other right under this Plan,
unless and until the Option Committee specifically acts to grant a person an
Option, and then his or her rights shall be only those prescribed in the
grant and agreement evidencing the Option.

                                     8

     12.  COMPANY RESPONSIBILITY.  All expenses of this Plan, including the
cost of maintaining records, shall be borne by the Company.  The Company
shall have no responsibility or liability (other than under applicable
securities laws) for any act or thing done or left undone with respect to the
price, time, quantity, or other conditions and circumstances of the grant of
Options or the sale and purchase of Common Stock under the terms of the Plan,
so long as the Company acts in good faith.

     13.  SECURITIES LAWS.  The Board shall take all necessary or appropriate
actions to ensure that all Option grants are, and that all exercises of
Options under this Plan may be made, in compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities laws.  The Company, however, assumes no
responsibility for compliance with any federal or state securities laws
affecting the resale of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.

     14.  NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION.  The granting of an Option
imposes no obligation upon any Optionee to exercise any Option at any time.

     15.  TERM OF PLAN.  This Plan shall be effective as of the date of
adoption of the Plan by the Board, and unless extended by specific action of
the Board, this Plan shall expire on July 29, 2005 (except as to Options
vested and outstanding on that date), and no Options shall be granted under
the Plan on or after the expiration date of the Plan.

     16.  GENERAL.  The Plan and any Options granted under this Plan shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Tennessee and any specifically applicable federal tax, securities or employee
benefit laws.

     17.  EFFECTIVE DATE.  This Plan was adopted by the Board on July 27,
2000.  This Plan was amended to add 2,500,000 shares to make the total
authorized number of shares 4,750,000 by action of the Board of Directors on
July 26, 2001.
