each such Option, including the Fair Market Value on any date, and to make any
amendment or modification to any option agreement, including the acceleration of
vesting, consistent with the terms of the Plan;

               (ii)  to construe and interpret the Plan and the Options granted
hereunder and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for the
administration of the Plan, including, but not limited to, correcting any defect
or supplying any omission, or reconciling any inconsistency in the Plan or in
any Agreement, in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or
advisable so that the Plan complies with applicable law, and otherwise to make
the Plan fully effective. All decisions and determinations by the Committee in
the exercise of this power shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the
Company, its Subsidiaries, the Optionees, and all other persons having any
interest therein;

               (iii) to exercise its discretion with respect to the powers and
rights granted to it as set forth in the Plan; and

               (iv)  generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts
as are deemed necessary or advisable to promote the best interests of the
Company with respect to the Plan.

          (d)  Procedure for Grants. The terms of an Option granted hereunder
               --------------------

               (i)   the term of the Option shall be up to ten (10) years.

               (ii)  subject to Sections 8 and 10 hereof, the Option shall be

<PAGE>

                    (B)  in the event of an Option held by an entity pursuant to
Section 5(b) hereof, only while the Representative Director remains a Director
of the Company.

               (iii) the exercise price per Share shall be 100% of the Fair
Market Value per Share on the date of grant of the Option. In the event that the
date of grant of the Option is not a trading day, the exercise price per Share
shall be the Fair Market Value on the next trading day immediately following the
date of grant of the Option.

               (iv)  subject to Section 10 hereof, the Option shall become
exercisable as determined by the Committee at the time of grant of the Option.

     5.   Eligibility.
          -----------

          (a)  Except as provided in Section 5(b) hereof, Options may be granted
only to Outside Directors.

          (b)  In the event an Outside Director is a Representative Director,
Options shall be granted in the name of the entity employing such Representative
Director and such Representative Director shall not personally receive any
option grants in the Representative Director's own name.

          (c)  The Plan shall not confer upon any Outside Director any right
with respect to continuation of service as a Director or nomination to serve as
a Director, nor shall it interfere in any way with any rights which the Director
or the Company may have to terminate the Director's relationship with the
Company at any time.

     6.   Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to
          ------------
occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the shareholders of the
Company as described in Section 16 of the Plan. It shall continue in effect for
a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 11 of the Plan.

     7.   Form of Consideration. The consideration to be paid for the Shares to
          ---------------------
be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall
consist of (i) cash, (ii) check, (iii) other shares which (x) in the case of
Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by the Optionee for
more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (y) have a Fair Market
Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the
Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised, (iv) delivery of a properly
executed exercise notice together with such other documentation as the Company
and the broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of the Option
and delivery to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the
exercise price, or (v) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

                                      -4-

     8.   Exercise of Option.
          ------------------

          (a)  Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option
               -----------------------------------------------
granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times as are set forth in Section
4 hereof.
          An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

          An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such
exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the
Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the
Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the
Company. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment
allowable under Section 7 of the Plan. Until the issuance (as evidenced by the
appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer
agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares, no right
to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist
with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.
A share certificate for the number of Shares so acquired shall be issued to the
Optionee as soon as practicable after exercise of the Option. No adjustment
shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior
to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 10 of
the Plan.

          Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the
number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the
Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the
Option is exercised.

          (b)  Termination of Continuous Status as a Director. Subject to
               ----------------------------------------------
Section 10 hereof, in the event an Optionee's status as a Director terminates
(other than the Optionee's death or total and permanent disability (as defined
in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code)), the Optionee may exercise his or her Option,
but only within six (6) months following the date of such termination, and only
to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it on the date of such
termination (but in no event later than the expiration of its ten (10) year
term). To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise an Option on
the date of such termination, and to the extent that the Optionee does not
exercise such Option (to the extent otherwise so entitled) within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

          (c)  Disability of Optionee. In the event an Optionee's status as a
               ----------------------
Director terminates as a result of total and permanent disability (as defined in
Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the Optionee may exercise his or her Option, but
only within twelve (12) months following the date of such termination, and only
to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it on the date of such
termination (but in no event later than the expiration of its ten (10) year
term). To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise an Option on
the date of termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise such Option (to
the extent otherwise so entitled) within the time specified herein, the Option
shall terminate.

          (d)  Death of Optionee. In the event of an Optionee's death, the
               -----------------
Optionee's estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by
bequest or inheritance may exercise the Option, but only within twelve (12)
months following the date of death, and only to the extent that the

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

Optionee was entitled to exercise it on the date of death (but in no event later
than the expiration of its ten (10) year term). To the extent that the Optionee
was not entitled to exercise an Option on the date of death, and to the extent
that the Optionee's estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise such
Option does not exercise such Option (to the extent otherwise so entitled)
within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

     9.   Non-Transferability of Options. The Option may not be sold, pledged,
          ------------------------------
assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by
will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the
lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.

     10.  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger or
          ------------------------------------------------------------------
          Asset Sale.
          ----------

          (a)  Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the
               -------------------------
shareholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding
Option, the number of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the
Plan but as to which no Options have yet been granted or which have been
returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well as
the price per Share covered by each such outstanding Option shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued
Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or
decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected
without receipt of consideration." Except as expressly provided herein, no
issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment
by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares
subject to an Option.

          (b)  Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed
               --------------------------
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, to the extent that an Option has not
been previously exercised, it shall terminate immediately prior to the
consummation of such proposed action.

          (c)  Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger of the Company
               --------------------
with or into another corporation or the sale of substantially all of the assets
of the Company, outstanding Options may be assumed or equivalent options may be
substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary thereof (the
"Successor Corporation"). If an Option is assumed or substituted for, the Option
or equivalent option shall continue to be exercisable as provided in Section 4
hereof for so long as the Optionee (or, in the case of an entity Optionee, such
Optionee's Representative Director) serves as a Director or a director of the
Successor Corporation. Following such assumption or substitution, if the
Optionee's (or, in the case of an entity Optionee, such Optionee's
Representative Director's) status as a Director or director of the Successor
Corporation, as applicable, is terminated other than upon a voluntary
resignation by the Optionee (or, in the case of an entity Optionee, such
Optionee's Representative Director), the Option or option shall become fully
exercisable, including as to Shares for which it would not otherwise be
exercisable. Thereafter, the Option or option shall remain exercisable in
accordance with Sections 8(b) through (d) above.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

     If the Successor Corporation does not assume an outstanding Option or
substitute for it an equivalent option, the Option shall become fully vested and
exercisable, including as to Shares for which it would not otherwise be
exercisable. In such event the Board shall notify the Optionee that the Option
shall be fully exercisable for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of
such notice, and upon the expiration of such period the Option shall terminate.

     For the purposes of this Section 10(c), an Option shall be considered
assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the Option confers the right
to purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option
immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether
stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of
assets by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of
the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type
of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares).

     11.  Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
          -------------------------------------

          (a)  Amendment and Termination. Except as set forth in Section 4, the
               -------------------------
Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, or discontinue the Plan, but no
amendment, alteration, suspension, or discontinuation shall be made which would
impair the rights of any Optionee under any grant theretofore made, without such
Optionee's consent. In addition, to the extent necessary and desirable to comply
with any other applicable law or regulation (including any rule of a stock
exchange or automated stock quotation system upon which the shares are traded),
the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a
manner and to such a degree as required.

          (b)  Effect of Amendment or Termination. Any such amendment or
               ----------------------------------
termination of the Plan shall not affect Options already granted and such
Options shall remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not been
amended or terminated.

     12.  Time of Granting Options. The date of grant of an Option shall, for
          ------------------------
all purposes, be the date determined in accordance with Section 4 hereof.

     13.  Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be issued
          ----------------------------------
pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the
issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all
relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, state securities laws, and the requirements of any stock exchange
upon which the Shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the
approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

          As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require
the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any
such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares, if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of
the aforementioned relevant provisions of law.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

          Inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body
having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be
necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve
the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such
Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

     14.  Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will
          ---------------------
at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

     15.  Option Agreement. Options shall be evidenced by written option
          ----------------
agreements in such form as the Board shall approve.

                                      -8-
