                              ADDENDUM NO 3 TO THE
                      PROTOCOL OF CEREAL PARTNERS WORLDWIDE

                                 ASEAN AGREEMENT

The following sets forth the understanding of General Mills, Inc. ("GMI") and
Nestle S.A. ("Nestle") with respect to the entry of Cereal Partners Worldwide
("CPW") into the breakfast cereal market in the ASEAN countries in accordance
with the document headed "CPW activities in Asia - ASEAN Project". It is
effective as of March 15, 1993:

1)    In view of the requirements of the overall Asean Industrial Joint Venture
      Agreements to which Nestle is a party and which govern a significant part
      of its food activities in that region, the issued and paid-up capital of
      Nestle Asean Philippines Inc. ("NAJPHIL"), the company established in the
      Philippines for the manufacture and sale of breakfast cereals, is
      currently held in the ratio of 40% by several Asean-based investors
      ("Investors") and of 60% by Nestle. Nestle acknowledges that it holds half
      of its 60% interest in trust for GMI, and that GMI is therefore currently
      the beneficial owner of a 30% interest in NAJPHIL. Nestle further
      acknowledges that GMI has to that effect transferred the US$ equivalent of
      Ph. P. 36 million to Nestle for its portion of the initial capital of
      NAJPHIL.

      Nestle and GMI agree that the basic principle regarding the equity in
      NAJPHIL is that Nestle's formal holding in the company, whatever it may
      be, will at all times be held as to 50% on trust for GMI.

      It follows that in the event of Nestle being forced (by law or contractual
      obligations which have been acknowledged and approved by the Supervisory
      Board of CPW) to reduce the ratio of its holding in NAJPHIL, or if the
      issued and paid-up capital of NAJPHIL needs to be increased above its
      present level, or if the ratio of Nestle's holding in NAJPHIL increases at
      any time above 60%, GMI undertakes to surrender such of its shares in
      NAJPHIL, or to make such further contributions to Nestle, as the case may
      be, as will enable GMI to maintain a beneficial interest in 50% of
      Nestle's then shareholding in NAJPHIL.

2)    In regard to the overall Nestle ASEAN breakfast cereal activities,
      involving NAJPHIL as well as the Nestle breakfast cereal selling
      operations in the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, Nestle
      acknowledges and agrees that GMI shall (to the extent that the relevant
      company pays taxes) be entitled to (responsible for) 50% of the total
      profits (losses) attributable to such activities in the respective Nestle
      companies, provided that such entitlement shall be on a net effective
      after-tax basis and shall take into account all minority shareholders and
      correlative commitments therewith, if any. In the event that any of the
      respective Nestle companies does not receive a current tax benefit for
      losses realized from its breakfast cereal operations, the distribution of
      profits by Nestle to GMI or the contribution for losses by GMI to Nestle
      for the year in which any such loss is utilized for tax purposes on a
      carryforward or carryback basis, shall be adjusted to reflect the tax
      benefit from such loss received by any of the respective Nestle companies.

<PAGE>

      To that effect GMI shall, within 30 days of receipt of a summary of the
      annual Profit and Loss statements for all companies concerned in the Asean
      breakfast cereal activities, pay to Nestle its 50% share of any aggregate
      fiscal year loss incurred in the immediately preceding fiscal year.
      Conversely, but to the extent that the same can actually be transferred to
      Switzerland, Nestle shall within the same period remit to GMI 50% of any
      aggregate fiscal year profits. If some or all of such profits can not be
      transferred to Switzerland due to reasons beyond the reasonable control of
      Nestle, they shall be accounted for the credit of General Mills and bear
      interest at the prime borrowing rate in the respective countries, after
      deduction of taxes and minority interests; such interest shall accrue once
      a year. Such profits, or any eligible portion thereof, which are withheld
      from transfer to Switzerland, will be remitted to Switzerland as soon as
      legally possible.

3)    Nestle undertakes regularly to provide GMI with all financial and other
      data regarding NAJPHIL, as well as an Auditor's certificate covering the
      year-end Profit & Loss situation relating to the breakfast cereal
      activities in each of the companies concerned, together with such
      supporting documentation as GMI may reasonably require for its US tax
      return or other mandatory purpose, including in particular an annual tax
      accounting report. Such additional supporting documentation shall be for
      GMI's account.

4)    The CPW-ASEAN understanding shall also include the terms of a technology
      license agreement from Societe des Produits Nestle S.A. ("SPN") to NAJPHIL
      and a letter agreement between SPN and CPW S.A. ("CPW") regarding the
      payment of royalties to CPW.

This understanding shall be deemed Supplementary to the Protocol of Cereal
Partners Worldwide, as amended.

                                       NESTLE S.A

                            1998 EMPLOYEE STOCK PLAN

                         As Amended Through July 1, 2000

<PAGE>

                               GENERAL MILLS, INC.

                            1998 EMPLOYEE STOCK PLAN

1.       PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

         The purpose of the General Mills, Inc. 1998 Employee Stock Plan (the
         "Plan") is to attract and retain able employees by rewarding employees
         of General Mills, Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliates (defined as
         entities in which General Mills, Inc. has a significant equity or other
         interest) (collectively, the "Company") and to align the interests of
         employees with those of the stockholders of the Company through
         compensation that is based on the Company's stock. Grants may be made
         to employees under the Plan in lieu of salary increases and certain
         other compensation and benefits.

2.       EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION OF PLAN

         This Plan shall become effective as of September 28, 1998.

3.       ELIGIBLE PERSONS

         Only persons who are employees of the Company shall be eligible to
         receive grants of Stock Options, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock
         Units (each defined below) and become "Participants" under the Plan.

4.       AWARD TYPE

         Under this Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of
         Directors (the "Committee") may award Participants options ("Stock
         Options") to purchase common stock of the Company ($.10 par value)
         ("Common Stock"). The grant of a Stock Option entitles the Participant
         to purchase shares of Common Stock at an "Exercise Price" established
         by the Committee. The Exercise Price for each share of Common Stock
         issuable under a Stock Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair
         Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. "Fair Market
         Value" shall equal the mean of the high and low price of the Common
         Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant. The
         Committee may also grant Participants shares of Common Stock or the
         right to receive shares of Common Stock subject to certain restrictions
         ("Restricted Stock" or "Restricted Stock Units") (Stock Options,
         Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units are sometimes referred to
         as "Awards").

5.       STOCK OPTION TERM AND TYPE

         Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be Non-Qualified Stock
         Options governed by Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
         amended (the "Code"). The term of any Stock Option granted under the
         Plan shall be determined by the Committee, provided that the term of a
         Stock Option shall not exceed 10 years and one month.

                                       -1-
<PAGE>

6.       COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

         a)       Maximum Shares Available for Delivery. Subject to Section
                  6(b), the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available
                  for issuance to Participants under the Plan shall be
                  22,000,000.

                  In addition, any Common Stock covered by a Stock Option
                  granted under the Plan, which is forfeited, cancelled or
                  expires in whole or in part shall be deemed not to be
                  delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of
                  shares of Common Stock available for grants under the Plan.

                  If any Stock Option is exercised by tendering Common Stock,
                  either actually or by attestation, to the Company as full or
                  partial payment in connection with the exercise of the Stock
                  Option under the Plan, only the number of shares of Common
                  Stock issued net of the Common Stock tendered shall be deemed
                  delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of
                  shares available for grants under the Plan. Upon forfeiture or
                  termination of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units
                  prior to vesting, the shares of Common Stock subject thereto
                  shall again be available for Awards under the Plan.

         b)       Adjustments for Corporate Transactions. The Committee may
                  determine that a corporate transaction has occurred affecting
                  the Common Stock such that an adjustment or adjustments to
                  outstanding Awards is required to preserve (or prevent
                  enlargement of) the benefits or potential benefits intended at
                  the time of grant. For this purpose a corporate transaction
                  includes, but is not limited to, any dividend or other
                  distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock,
                  securities of a subsidiary of the Company, other securities or
                  other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock
                  split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up,
                  spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Common Stock
                  or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or
                  other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of
                  the Company, or other similar corporate transaction. In the
                  event of such a corporate transaction, the Committee may, in
                  such manner as the Committee deems equitable, adjust (i) the
                  number and kind of shares which may be awarded under the Plan;
                  (ii) the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding
                  Awards; and (iii) the exercise price of outstanding Stock
                  Options.

         c)       Limits on Distribution. Distribution of shares of Common Stock
                  or other amounts under the Plan shall be subject to the
                  following:

                  (i)      The total number of shares of Common Stock that shall
                           be available for Restricted Stock and Restricted
                           Stock Unit Awards under the Plan shall be limited to
                           15% of the total shares authorized for Awards
                           hereunder.

                  (ii)     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the
                           Company shall have no liability to deliver any shares
                           of Common Stock under the Plan or make any other
                           distribution of benefits under the Plan unless such
                           delivery or distribution would comply with all
                           applicable laws (including, without limitation, the
                           requirements of the Securities Act of 1933), and the
                           applicable requirements of any securities exchange or
                           similar entity.

                                       -2-
<PAGE>

                  (iii)    To the extent that the Plan provides for issuance of
                           stock certificates to reflect the issuance of shares
                           of Common Stock or Restricted Stock, the issuance may
                           be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the
                           extent not prohibited by applicable law or the
                           applicable rules of any stock exchange.

         d)       The Committee, in its discretion, may require as a condition
                  to the grant of Awards, the deposit of Common Stock owned by
                  the Participant receiving such grant, and the forfeiture of
                  such grants, if such deposit is not made or maintained during
                  the required holding period. Such shares of deposited Common
                  Stock may not be otherwise sold or disposed of during the
                  applicable holding period or restricted period. The Committee
                  may also determine whether any shares issued upon exercise of
                  a Stock Option shall be restricted in any manner.

7.       EXERCISE OF STOCK OPTIONS

         a)       Exercise. Except as provided in Sections 11 and 12 (Change of
                  Control and Termination of Employment), each Stock Option may
                  be exercised only in accordance with the terms and conditions
                  of the Stock Option grant and during the periods as may be
                  established by the Committee. Twenty percent of each Stock
                  Option granted under the Plan in lieu of salary increases and
                  certain other compensation and benefits may be exercised
                  immediately upon granting and, subject to the Participant's
                  continued employment with the Company, additional 20% portions
                  of such Stock Option shall become exercisable each year
                  thereafter. All other Stock Options granted hereunder may be
                  exercised only after three years of the Participant's
                  continued employment with the Company following the date of
                  the Stock Option grant.

                  A Participant exercising a Stock Option shall give notice to
                  the Company of such exercise and of the number of shares
                  elected to be purchased prior to 4:30 P.M. CST/CDT on the day
                  of exercise, which must be a business day at the executive
                  offices of the Company.

         b)       Payment. The Exercise Price shall be paid to the Company at
                  the time of such exercise, subject to any applicable rule or
                  regulation adopted by the Committee:

                  (i)      in cash (including check, draft, money order or wire
                           transfer made payable to the order of the Company);

                  (ii)     through the tender of shares of Common Stock owned by
                           the Participant (by either actual delivery or
                           attestation); or

                  (iii)    by a combination of (i) and (ii) above.

                  For determining the amount of the payment, Common Stock
                  delivered pursuant to (ii) or (iii) shall have a value equal
                  to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of
                  exercise.

         c)       Deferrals. The Committee may permit or require Participants to
                  defer receipt of any Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a
                  Stock Option, subject to such rules and procedures as it may
                  establish, which may include provisions for the payment or
                  crediting of interest,

                                       -3-
<PAGE>

                  or dividend equivalents, including converting such credits
                  into deferred Common Stock equivalents.

8.       RESTRICTED STOCK AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

         With respect to Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units,
         the Committee shall:

         a)       select Participants to whom Awards will be made, provided that
                  Restricted Stock Units may only be awarded to those employees
                  of the Company who are employed in a country other than the
                  United States;

         b)       determine the number of shares of Restricted Stock or the
                  number of Restricted Stock Units to be awarded;

         c)       determine the length of the restricted period, which shall be
                  no less than one year;

         d)       determine the purchase price, if any, to be paid by the
                  Participant for Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units;
                  and

         e)       determine any restrictions other than those set forth in this
                  Section 8.

         Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 8, each
         Participant who receives Restricted Stock shall have all rights as a
         stockholder with respect to such shares, including the right to vote
         the shares and receive dividends and other distributions.

         Each Participant who receives Restricted Stock Units shall be eligible
         to receive, at the expiration of the applicable restricted period, one
         share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit awarded, and the
         Company shall issue to each such Participant that number of shares of
         Common Stock. Participants who receive Restricted Stock Units shall
         have no rights as stockholders with respect to such Restricted Stock
         Units until such time as share certificates for Common Stock are issued
         to the Participants; provided, however, that quarterly during the
         applicable restricted period for all Restricted Stock Units awarded
         hereunder, the Company shall pay to each such Participant an amount
         equal to the sum of all dividends and other distributions paid by the
         Company during the prior quarter on that equivalent number of shares of
         Common Stock.

9.       TRANSFERABILITY OF STOCK OPTIONS

         Except as otherwise provided by rules of the Committee, no Stock
         Options shall be transferable by a Participant otherwise than (i) by
         the Participant's last will and testament or (ii) by the applicable
         laws of descent and distribution, and such Stock Options shall be
         exercised during the Participant's lifetime only by the Participant or
         his or her guardian or legal representative. Except as otherwise
         provided in Section 8, no shares of Restricted Stock and no Restricted
         Stock Units shall be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged or otherwise
         disposed of during the restricted period.

                                       -4-
<PAGE>

10.      TAXES

         Whenever the Company issues Common Stock under the Plan, the Company
         may require the recipient to remit to the Company an amount sufficient
         to satisfy any Federal, state or local tax withholding requirements
         prior to the delivery of such Common Stock, or, in the discretion of
         the Committee, upon the election of the Participant, the Company may
         withhold from the shares to be delivered shares sufficient to satisfy
         all or a portion of such tax withholding requirements.

11.      CHANGE OF CONTROL

         Each outstanding Stock Option shall become immediately and fully
         exercisable for a period of one (1) year following the date of the
         following occurrences, each constituting a "Change of Control":

         a)       The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the
                  meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the 1934 Act), (a
                  "Person") of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule
                  13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of voting securities of
                  the Company where such acquisition causes such Person to own
                  20% or more of the combined voting power of the then
                  outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote
                  generally in the election of directors (the "Outstanding
                  Voting Securities"); provided, however, that for purposes of
                  this subsection (a), the following acquisitions shall not be
                  deemed to result in a Change of Control: (i) any acquisition
                  directly from the Company, (ii) any acquisition by the
                  Company, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan
                  (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or
                  any corporation controlled by the Company or (iv) any
                  acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction that
                  complies with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of subsection (c)
                  below; and provided, further, that if any Person's beneficial
                  ownership of the Outstanding Voting Securities reaches or
                  exceeds 20% as a result of a transaction described in clause
                  (i) or (ii) above, and such Person subsequently acquires
                  beneficial ownership of additional voting securities of the
                  Company, such subsequent acquisition shall be treated as an
                  acquisition that causes such Person to own 20% or more of the
                  Outstanding Voting Securities; or

         b)       Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board
                  of Directors (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to
                  constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided,
                  however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to
                  the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by
                  the Company's shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least
                  of a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent
                  Board shall be considered as though such individual were a
                  member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this
                  purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of
                  office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election
                  contest with respect to the election or removal of directors
                  or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or
                  consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or

         c)       The approval by the shareholders of the Company of a
                  reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other
                  disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
                  Company ("Business Combination") or, if consummation of such
                  Business Combination is

                                       -5-
<PAGE>

                  subject, at the time of such approval by stockholders, to the
                  consent of any government or governmental agency, the
                  obtaining of such consent (either explicitly or implicitly by
                  consummation); excluding, however, such a Business Combination
                  pursuant to which (i) all or substantially all of the
                  individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the
                  Outstanding Voting Securities immediately prior to such
                  Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly,
                  more than 60% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of
                  common stock and the combined voting power of the then
                  outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in
                  the election of directors, as the case may be, of the
                  corporation resulting from such Business Combination
                  (including, without limitation, a corporation that as a result
                  of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially
                  all of the Company's assets either directly or through one or
                  more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as
                  their ownership, immediately prior to such Business
                  Combination of the Outstanding Voting Securities, (ii) no
                  Person (excluding any employee benefit plan (or related trust)
                  of the Company or such corporation resulting from such
                  Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or
                  indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding
                  shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such
                  Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then
                  outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to
                  the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business
                  Combination and (iii) at least a majority of the members of
                  the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such
                  Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at
                  the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the
                  action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination;
                  or

         d)       approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete
                  liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

         After such one (1) year period the normal Stock Option exercise
         provisions of the Plan shall govern. Notwithstanding any other
         provision of the Plan, but subject to Section 5, in the event a
         Participant's employment with the Company is terminated within two (2)
         years of any of the events specified in (a), (b), (c) or (d), all
         outstanding Stock Options of such Participant at that date of
         termination shall be exercisable for a period of six (6) months
         beginning on the date of termination.

         With respect to Stock Option grants outstanding as of the date of any
         such Change of Control which require the deposit of owned Common Stock
         as a condition to obtaining rights, the deposit requirement shall be
         terminated as of the date of the Change of Control and any such
         deposited stock shall be promptly returned to the Participant.

         In the event of a Change of Control, a Participant shall vest in all
         shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units, effective as of
         the date of such Change of Control, and any deposited shares of Common
         Stock shall be promptly returned to the Participant.

12.      TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

         a)       Resignation or Termination for Cause. If the Participant's
                  employment by the Company is terminated by either

                                       -6-
<PAGE>

                  (i)      the voluntary resignation of the Participant, or

                  (ii)     a Company discharge due to Participant's illegal
                           activities, poor work performance, misconduct or
                           violation of the Company's policies or practices,

                  then Participant's Stock Options shall terminate three months
                  after such termination (but in no event beyond the original
                  full term of the Stock Options) and no Stock Options shall
                  become exercisable after such termination, and all shares of
                  Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units which are subject
                  to restriction on the date of termination shall be forfeited.

         b)       Other Termination. If the Participant's employment by the
                  Company terminates for any reason other than specified in
                  Sections 11, 12 (a), (c), (d) or (e), the following rules
                  shall apply:

                  (i)      In the event that, at the time of such termination,
                           the sum of the Participant's age and service with the
                           Company equals or exceeds 70, the Participant's
                           outstanding Stock Options shall continue to become
                           exercisable, and shares of Restricted Stock and
                           Restricted Stock Units subject to share deposit
                           requirements shall continue to vest, each according
                           to the schedule established at the time of grant,
                           unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award
                           agreement. Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted
                           Stock Units not subject to share deposit requirements
                           shall fully vest as of the date of termination. Stock
                           Options shall remain exercisable for the remaining
                           full term of such Stock Options.

                  (ii)     In the event that, at the time of such termination,
                           the sum of Participant's age and service with the
                           Company is less than 70, Participant's outstanding
                           unexercisable Stock Options and unvested Restricted
                           Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall become
                           exercisable or vest, as the case may be, as of the
                           date of termination, in a pro-rata amount based on
                           the full months of employment completed during the
                           full vesting period from the date of grant to the
                           date of termination with such newly-vested Stock
                           Options and Stock Options exercisable on the date of
                           termination remaining exercisable for the lesser of
                           one year from the date of termination and the
                           original full term of the Stock Option. All other
                           Stock Options, shares of Restricted Stock and
                           Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited as of the
                           date of termination. Provided, however, that if the
                           Participant is an executive officer of the Company,
                           the Participant's outstanding Stock Options which, as
                           of the date of termination are not yet exercisable,
                           shall become exercisable effective as of the date of
                           such termination and, with all outstanding Stock
                           Options already exercisable on the date of
                           termination, shall remain exercisable

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

                           for the lesser of one year following the date of
                           termination and the original full term of the Stock
                           Option, and all shares of Restricted Stock and
                           Restricted Stock Units shall vest as of the date of
                           termination.

         c)       Death. If a Participant dies while employed by the Company,
                  any Stock Option previously granted under this Plan may be
                  exercised by the person designated in such Participant's last
                  will and testament or, in the absence of such designation, by
                  the Participant's estate, to the full extent that such Stock
                  Option could have been exercised by such Participant
                  immediately prior to death. With respect to outstanding Stock
                  Options which, as of the date of death, are not yet
                  exercisable, any such Stock Option shall vest and become
                  exercisable in a pro-rata amount, based on the full months of
                  employment completed during the full vesting period of the
                  Stock Option from the date of grant to the date of death.

                  With respect to Stock Options which require the deposit of
                  owned Common Stock as a condition to obtaining exercise
                  rights, in the event a Participant dies while employed by the
                  Company, such Stock Options may be exercised as provided in
                  the first paragraph of this Section 12(b) and any owned Common
                  Stock deposited by the Participant pursuant to such grant
                  shall be promptly returned to the person designated in such
                  Participant's last will and testament or, in the absence of
                  such designation, to the Participant's estate, and all
                  requirements regarding deposit by the Participant shall be
                  terminated.

                  A Participant who dies during any applicable restricted period
                  shall vest in a proportionate number of shares of Restricted
                  Stock or Restricted Stock Units, effective as of the date of
                  death. Such proportionate vesting shall be pro-rata, based on
                  the number of full months of employment completed during the
                  restricted period prior to the date of death, as a percentage
                  of the applicable restricted period.

         d)       Retirement. The Committee shall determine, at the time of
                  grant, the treatment of the Stock Options, Restricted Stock
                  and Restricted Stock Units upon the retirement of the
                  Participant. Unless other terms are specified in the original
                  Grant, if the termination of employment is due to a
                  Participant's retirement on or after age 55, the Participant
                  may exercise a Stock Option, subject to the original terms and
                  conditions of the Stock Option and shall fully vest in all
                  shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units effective
                  as of the date of retirement (unless any such Award
                  specifically provides otherwise).

         e)       Spin-offs. If the termination of employment is due to the
                  cessation, transfer, or spin-off of a complete line of
                  business of the Company, the Committee, in its sole
                  discretion, shall determine the treatment of all outstanding
                  Awards under the Plan.

13.      ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

         a)       Administration. The authority to control and manage the
                  operations and administration of the Plan shall be vested in
                  Committee in accordance with this Section 13.

                                       -8-
<PAGE>

         b)       Selection of Committee. The Committee shall be selected by the
                  Board, and shall consist of two or more members of the Board.

         c)       Powers of Committee. The authority to manage and control the
                  operations and administration of the Plan shall be vested in
                  the Committee, subject to the following:

                  (i)      Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee
                           will have the authority and discretion to select from
                           among the eligible Company employees those persons
                           who shall receive Awards, to determine the time or
                           times of receipt, to determine the types of Awards
                           and the number of shares covered by the Awards, to
                           establish the terms, conditions, performance
                           criteria, restrictions, and other provisions of such
                           Awards, and (subject to the restrictions imposed by
                           Section 14) to cancel or suspend Awards. In making
                           such determinations, the Committee may take into
                           account the nature of services rendered by the
                           individual, the individual's present and potential
                           contribution to the Company's success and such other
                           factors as the Committee deems relevant.

                  (ii)     The Committee will have the authority and discretion
                           to establish terms and conditions of Awards as the
                           Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate
                           to conform to applicable requirements or practices of
                           jurisdictions outside of the United States.

                  (iii)    The Committee will have the authority and discretion
                           to interpret the Plan, to establish, amend, and
                           rescind any rules and regulations relating to the
                           Plan, to determine the terms and provisions of any
                           agreements made pursuant to the Plan, and to make all
                           other determinations that may be necessary or
                           advisable for the administration of the Plan.

                  (iv)     Any interpretation of the Plan by the Committee and
                           any decision made by it under the Plan is final and
                           binding.

         d)       Delegation by Committee. Except to the extent prohibited by
                  applicable law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange,
                  the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its
                  responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members
                  and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and
                  powers to any person or persons selected by it. Any such
                  allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at
                  any time.

14.      AMENDMENTS OF THE PLAN

         The Committee may from time to time prescribe, amend and rescind rules
         and regulations relating to the Plan. Subject to the approval of the
         Board of Directors, where required, the Committee may at any time
         terminate, amend, or suspend the operation of the Plan, provided that
         no action shall be taken by the Committee to:

         a)       permit granting of Stock Options at less than Fair Market
                  Value; and

         b)       except as provided in Section 6, permit the repricing of
                  outstanding Stock Options.

                                       -9-
<PAGE>

         No termination, modification, suspension, or amendment of the Plan
         shall alter or impair the rights of any Participant pursuant to an
         outstanding Award without the consent of the Participant. There is no
         obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants under the Plan.
