the Board, or if and to the extent the Board so directs and delegates, by the
Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, and in addition
to other express powers and authorizations conferred on the Board by the Plan,

from among the Eligible Persons; (ii) determine the type or types of Awards to
be granted to an Eligible Person; (iii) determine the number of Awards to be
granted, the number of Shares or amount of cash or other property to which an
Award will relate, the terms and conditions of any Award (including, but not
limited to, any exercise price, grant price or purchase price, any exercise or
vesting periods, any limitation or restriction, any schedule for lapse of
limitations, forfeiture restrictions or restrictions on exercisability or
transferability, and any accelerations or waivers thereof, based in each case on
such considerations as the Board shall determine), and all other matters to be
determined in connection with an Award; (iv) determine whether, to what extent
and under what circumstances Awards may be settled or exercised in cash, Shares,
other securities, other Awards or other property, or Awards may be accumulated,
vested, exchanged, surrendered, canceled, forfeited or suspended; (v) determine
whether, to what extent and under what circumstances cash, Shares, other
securities, other Awards, other property and other amounts payable with respect
to an Award shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the
Participant or of the Committee; (vi) interpret and administer the Plan and any
instrument or agreement relating to, or Award made under, the Plan; (vii)

Participant; (viii) adopt, amend, suspend, waive or rescind such rules and
regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem necessary or desirable for

or reconcile any inconsistency, and to construe and interpret the Plan, the
rules and regulations, any Award Agreement or other instrument entered into or
Award made under the Plan; and (x) make any other determinations and decisions
and take any other action that the Board deems necessary or desirable for the
administration of the Plan.

                  (b) Exercise of Authority. Unless otherwise expressly provided
in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations and other
decisions under or with respect to the Plan or any Award shall be within the
sole discretion of the Board, may be made at any time and shall be final,
conclusive and binding upon all Persons, including the Company, its
Subsidiaries, Eligible Persons, Participants, holders or beneficiaries of
Awards, and stockholders. The express grant of any specific power to the Board,
and the taking of any action by the Board, shall not be construed as limiting
any power or authority of the Board. The Board may delegate to officers or
managers of the Company or any Subsidiary, or committees thereof, the authority,
subject to such terms as the Board shall determine, to perform such functions,
including administrative functions, as the Board may determine, to the extent
that such delegation will not result in the loss of an exemption under Rule
16b-3 for Awards granted to Participants subject to Section 16 of the Exchange
Act in respect of the Company and will not cause Awards

                                       3

intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of
the Code of the Code to fail to so qualify. The Board may appoint agents to
assist it in administering the Plan.

                  (c) Delegation to a Committee. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the Board may at any time, or from time to time,
appoint a Committee and delegate to such Committee the authority of the Board to
administer the Plan, including to the extent provided by the Board, the power to
further delegate such authority. Upon such appointment and delegation, any such
Committee shall have all the powers, privileges and duties of the Board in the
administration of the Plan to the extent provided in such delegation, except for
the power to appoint members of the Committee and to terminate, modify or amend
the Plan. The Board may from time to time appoint members of any such Committee
in substitution for or in addition to members previously appointed, may fill
vacancies in such Committee and may discharge such Committee. Any such Committee
shall hold its meetings at such times and places as it shall deem advisable. At
any meeting of any such Committee, a majority of the members of such Committee
shall constitute a quorum, and all determinations at such Committee meeting
shall be made by a majority of such quorum. Any determination reduced to writing
and signed by all of the members of such Committee shall be fully as effective
as if it had been made by a majority vote at a meeting duly called and held.

                  (d) Limitation of Liability. The Board, the Committee, if any,
and each member of each shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon
any report or other information furnished to him or her by any executive
officer, other officer or employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, the Company's
independent auditors, legal counsel, other consultants or any other agents
assisting in the administration of the Plan. Members of the Board and of the
Committee, if any, and any officer or employee of the Company or a Subsidiary
acting at the direction or on behalf of the Board and of the Committee, if any,
shall not be personally liable for any action or determination taken or made in
good faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the extent permitted by law,
be fully indemnified and protected by the Company with respect to any such
action or determination.

         SECTION 4. SHARES AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS.

                  (a) Shares Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 4(b) hereof, the total number of Shares with respect to which Awards may
be granted under the Plan shall be 4,800,000. If any Shares covered by an Award
granted under the Plan, or to which such an Award relates, are forfeited, or if
an Award otherwise terminates or is canceled without the delivery of Shares, or
if payment is made to the Participant in the form of cash or other property
other than Shares, then the Shares covered by such Award, or to which such Award
relates, or the number of Shares otherwise counted against the aggregate number
of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted, to the extent of any such
settlement, forfeiture, termination or cancellation, shall again be, or shall
become, Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted, to the extent
permissible under Rule 16b-3 and Section 162(m) of the Code. In the event that
any Option or other Award granted hereunder is exercised through the delivery of
Shares, the number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan shall be
increased by the number of Shares surrendered, to the extent permissible under
Rule 16b-3. For purposes of this Section 4(a), the number of Shares to which an
Award relates shall be counted against the number of Shares reserved and
available under the Plan at the time of grant of the Award, unless such number
of Shares cannot be determined at that time, in which case the number of Shares
actually distributed pursuant to the Award shall be counted against the number
of Shares reserved and available under the Plan at the time of distribution;
provided, however, that Awards related to or retroactively added to, or granted
in tandem with, substituted for or converted into, other Awards shall be counted
or not counted against the number of Shares reserved and available under the
Plan in accordance with procedures adopted by the Committee so as to ensure
appropriate counting but avoid double counting; and provided, further, that the
number of Shares deemed to be issued under the Plan upon exercise of an Option
or an Other Stock-Based Award in the nature of a stock purchase right shall be
reduced by the number of Shares surrendered by the Participant in payment of the
exercise or purchase price of the Award.

                  (b) Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other
distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other
property), recapitalization, forward or reverse stock split, reorganization,
merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, liquidation,
dissolution, exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other
similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an
adjustment is necessary or determined by the Board to be appropriate in order to
prevent dilution or enlargement of the Participants' rights under the Plan, then
the Board shall proportionately adjust any or all of (i) the number and

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

kind of Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other
securities or property) which may thereafter be issued in connection with
Awards; (ii) the number and kind of Shares or other securities of the Company
(or number and kind of other securities or property) issued or issuable with
respect to outstanding Awards; and (iii) the grant, exercise or purchase price
with respect to any Award; provided, in each case, that with respect to Awards
of Incentive Stock Options, no such adjustment shall be authorized to the extent
that such authority would cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the
Code, as from time to time amended.

                  (c) Sources of Shares. Any Shares delivered pursuant to an
Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or of
treasury Shares, including Shares repurchased by the Company for purposes of the
Plan.

                  (d) Annual Limits on Awards. Subject to adjustment as provided
in Section 4(b) hereof the maximum number of Shares subject to Awards in any
combination that may be granted during any one fiscal year of the Company to any
one Participant shall be limited to 300,000.

         SECTION 5. ELIGIBILITY. Awards may be granted under the Plan only to
Eligible Persons, except that (a) only Eligible Persons who are employees of the
Company or a Subsidiary shall be eligible for the grant of Incentive Stock
Options, and (b) only Non-Employee Directors shall receive Director Options in
accordance with Section 6(b)(v) hereof.

         SECTION 6. SPECIFIC TERMS OF AWARDS.

                  (a) General. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and any
applicable Award Agreement, Awards may be granted as set forth in this Section
6. In addition, the Board may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, at
the date of grant or thereafter (subject to the terms of Section 10 hereof),
such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of
the Plan, as the Board shall determine, including terms requiring forfeiture of
Awards in the event of termination of employment by the Participant and terms
permitting a Participant to make elections pertaining to his Award. Subject to
the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall have the right to accelerate the
vesting or exercising of any Award granted under the Plan. Except as provided in
Section 7(a) hereof, or as required by applicable law, Awards shall be granted
for no consideration other than prior and future services.

                  (b) Options. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board
is authorized to grant Options to Eligible Persons on the following terms and
conditions:

                           (i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share of
         an Option shall be determined by the Board; provided, however, that,
         except as provided in Section 7(a) or with respect to Options granted
         pursuant to a merger or other corporate transaction, such exercise
         price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the
         date of grant of such Option.

                           (ii) Option Term. The term of each Option shall be
         determined by the Board.

                           (iii) Methods of Exercise. The Board shall determine
         the time or times at which or the circumstances under which an Option
         may be exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement of
         performance goals and/or service requirements), the methods by which
         such exercise price may be paid or deemed to be paid, and the form of
         such payment, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other
         outstanding Awards or other property (including notes or other
         contractual obligations of Participants to make payment on a deferred
         bases, to the extent permitted by law) or any combination thereof,
         having a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price.

                           (iv) Incentive Stock Options. The terms of any
         Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall comply in all
         material respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code or any
         successor provision thereto. Incentive Stock Options may only be issued
         to employees of the Company or a Subsidiary. Anything in the Plan to
         the contrary notwithstanding, no term of the Plan relating to ISOs
         (including any SAR in tandem therewith) shall be interpreted, amended
         or altered, nor shall any discretion

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

         or authority granted under the Plan be exercised, so as to disqualify
         either the Plan or any ISO under Section 422, unless the Participant
         has first requested the change that will result in such
         disqualification.

                  (c) Stock Appreciation Rights. The Board is authorized to
grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Eligible Persons on the following terms and
conditions:

                           (i) Right to Payment. A Stock Appreciation Right
         shall confer on the Participant to whom it is granted a right to
         receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value
         of a Share on the date of exercise (or, in the case of a Limited SAR,
         the Fair Market Value determined by reference to the Change in Control
         Price), or, if the Board shall so determine in the case of any such
         right other than one related to any Incentive Stock Option, at any time
         during a specified period before or after the date of exercise, over
         (B) the grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right as determined by
         the Board as of the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right,
         which, except as provided in Section 7(a) hereof, shall not be less
         than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.

                           (ii) Other Terms. The term, methods of exercise,
         methods of settlement and any other terms and conditions of any Stock
         Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Board. Limited SARs that
         may only be exercised in connection with a Change in Control or other
         event as specified by the Board may be granted on such terms, not
         inconsistent with this Section 6(c), as the Board may determine. SARs
         and Limited SARs may be awarded either on a free-standing basis or in
         tandem with other Awards.

                  (d) Restricted Stock. The Board is authorized to grant
Restricted Stock to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions:

                           (i) Grant and Restrictions. Restricted Stock shall be
         subject to such restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture and
         other restrictions as the Board may impose (including, without
         limitation, limitations on the right to vote Restricted Stock or the
         right to receive dividends thereon), which restrictions may lapse
         separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances
         (including based on the achievement of performance goals and/or future
         service requirements), in such installments, or otherwise, as the Board
         shall determine at the time of grant or thereafter. Except to the
         extent restricted under the terms of the Plan and any Award Agreement
         relating to the Restricted Stock, a Participant granted Restricted
         Stock shall have all of the rights of a stockholder, including the
         right to vote the Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends
         thereon (subject to any mandatory reinvestment or other requirement
         imposed by the Board). During the restricted period applicable to the
         Restricted Stock, subject to Section 11 hereof, the Restricted Stock
         may not be sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, margined or
         otherwise encumbered by the Participant.

                           (ii) Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by
         the Committee at the time of grant or thereafter, upon termination of
         employment or service on the Board (as determined under criteria
         established by the Board) during the applicable restriction period,
         Restricted Stock that is at that time subject to restrictions shall be
         forfeited and reacquired by the Company; provided, however, that
         restrictions on Restricted Stock shall be waived in whole or in part in
         the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the
         Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions on
         or the forfeiture of Restricted Stock.

                           (iii) Certificates for Shares. Restricted Stock
         granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Board
         shall determine, including, without limitation, issuance of
         certificates representing Shares. Certificates representing Shares of
         Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of the Participant and
         shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and
         restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, and the Board may
         require that the Company retain physical possession of the
         Certificates, and that the Participant deliver a stock power to the
         Company, endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Stock.

                           (iv) Dividends and Splits. As a condition to the
         grant of an Award of Restricted Stock, the Board may require that any
         cash dividends paid on a share of Restricted Stock be automatically
         reinvested in additional shares of Restricted Stock or applied to the
         purchase of additional Awards under

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

         the Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, Shares distributed
         in connection with a stock split or stock dividend, and other property
         distributed as a dividend, shall be subject to restrictions and a risk
         of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Stock with respect
         to which such Shares or other property has been distributed.

                  (e) Deferred Stock. The Board is authorized to grant Deferred
Stock to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions:

                           (i) Issuance and Limitations. Delivery of Shares
         shall occur upon expiration of the deferral period specified for the
         Award of Deferred Stock by the Board. In addition, an Award of Deferred
         Stock shall be subject to such limitations (including a risk of
         forfeiture) as the Committee may impose (if any), which limitations may
         lapse at the expiration of the deferral period or at other specified
         times (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or
         future service requirements, separately or in combination, in
         installments or otherwise, as the Committee shall determine at the time
         of grant or thereafter. A Participant awarded Deferred Stock shall have
         no voting rights and shall have no rights to receive dividends in
         respect of Deferred Stock, unless and only to the extent that the
         Committee shall award Dividend Equivalents in respect of such Deferred
         Stock.

                           (ii) Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by
         the Board upon termination of employment with or service to the Company
         (as determined under criteria established by the Board) during the
         applicable deferral period or portion thereof to which forfeiture
         conditions apply, Deferred Stock that is at that time subject to
         deferral (other than a deferral at the election of the Participant)
         shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the Board may provide, by
         rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement or may determine in any
         individual case, that restriction or forfeiture conditions relating to
         Deferred Stock shall be waived in whole or in part in the event of
         terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Board may in
         other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Deferred Stock.

                  (f) Bonus Shares and Awards in Lieu of Obligations. The Board
is authorized to grant Shares or other Awards as a bonus to Eligible Persons or
in lieu of obligations to pay cash or deliver other property under the Plan or
under other plans or compensatory arrangements (including salary requirements),
provided that, in the case of Participants subject to Section 16 of the Exchange
Act, the amount of such grants remains within the discretion of the Board to the
extent necessary to ensure that acquisitions of Shares or other Awards are
exempt from liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Shares or Awards
granted hereunder shall be subject to such other terms as shall be determined by
the Board.

                  (g) Dividend Equivalents. The Board is authorized to grant
Dividend Equivalents to a Participant. Dividend Equivalents shall confer upon
the Participant rights to receive, currently or on a deferred basis, cash,
Shares, other Awards or other property equal in value to dividends paid with
respect to a specified number of Shares, or otherwise, as determined by the
Board. The Board may provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or
distributed when accrued or shall be deemed to have been reinvested in
additional Shares or Awards or other investment vehicles, and subject to such
restrictions or transferability and risk of forfeiture, as the Board may
specify. Dividend Equivalents may be awarded on a free-standing basis or with
another Award.

                  (h) Other Stock-Based Awards. The Board is authorized, subject
to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Participants such other Awards
that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to,
or otherwise based on, or related to, Shares, as deemed by the Board to be
consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including, without limitation,
purchase rights for Shares, Shares awarded which are not subject to any
restrictions or conditions, convertible or exchangeable debt securities or other
rights convertible or exchangeable into Shares, Awards with value and payment
contingent upon performance of the Company or any other factors designated by
the Board, and Awards valued by reference to the book value of Shares or the
value of securities of or the performance of specified Subsidiaries as the Board
determines. The Board shall determine the terms and conditions of such awards.
Except as provided in Section 7(a) hereof, Shares or securities delivered
pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this
Section 6(h) shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times,
by such methods and in such forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares,
other outstanding Awards or other property or any combination thereof, as the
Committee shall determine.

                                        7
<PAGE>   8

Cash awards, as an element of or supplement to any other Award under the Plan,
may also be granted pursuant to this Section 6(h).

                  (i) Exchange Provisions. The Board may at any time offer to
exchange or buy out any previously granted Award for a payment in cash, Shares,
another Award or other property, based on such terms and conditions as the Board
shall determine and communicate to the Participant at the time that such offer
is made.

         SECTION 7. GENERAL TERMS OF AWARDS.

                  (a) Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem and Substitute Awards.
Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Board, be granted
either alone or in addition to, in tandem with or in substitution or exchange
for, any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other
plan of the Company or any Subsidiary (subject to the terms of Section 10
hereof), or any other right of a Participant to receive payment from the Company
or any Subsidiary. Such additional, tandem, substitute or exchange Awards may be
granted at any time. If an Award is granted in substitution or exchange for
another Award or award, the Board shall require the surrender of such other
Award or award in consideration for the grant of the new Award. The exercise
price of any Option, the grant price of any Stock Appreciation Right or the
purchase price of any other Award conferring a right to purchase Share
retroactively granted in tandem with an outstanding Award or award shall be
either not less than the Fair Market Value of Shares at the date of grant of the
later Award or equal to the Fair Market Value of Shares at the date of grant of
the earlier Award or award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exercise price of
any Option, grant price of any Stock Appreciation Right or purchase price of any
other Award conferring a right to purchase Shares which is granted in exchange
or substitution for an option, stock appreciation right or other award granted
by the Company (other than in connection with a transaction described in Section
9(a) hereof) shall not be less than the exercise price, grant price or purchase
price of the exchanged or substituted Option, Stock Appreciation Right or other
Award, and outstanding Awards shall not be amended (other than in connection
with a transaction described in Section 4(b) hereof to reduce the exercise
price, grant price or purchase price of any such Award.

                  (b) Decisions Required to be Made by the Board. Other
provisions of the Plan and any Award Agreement notwithstanding, if any decision
regarding an Award or the exercise of any right by a Participant, at any time
such Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or is a Covered
Employee under Section 162(m) of the Code, is required to be made or approved by
the Board in order that a grant to or transaction by such Participant will be
exempt under Rule 16b-3 or qualify as "qualified performance-based compensation"
for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code then the Board shall retain full and
exclusive power and authority to make such decision or to approve or disapprove
any such decision by the Participant.

                  (c) Term of Awards. The term of each Award shall be for such
period as may be determined by the Board; provided, however, that in no event
shall the term of any Incentive Stock Option, or a Stock Appreciation Right
granted in tandem therewith, exceed a period of ten years from the date of its
grant.

                  (d) Form and Timing of Payment of Awards. Subject to the terms
of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, payments or substitutions to be
made by the Company or a Subsidiary upon the grant, exercise or settlement of an
Award may be made in such forms as the Board shall determine at the time of
grant or thereafter (subject to the terms of Section 10 hereof), including,
without limitation, cash, Shares, other Awards or other property or any
combination thereof, and may be made in a single payment or substitution, in
installments or on a deferred basis, in each case in accordance with rules and
procedures established by the Board. Such rules and procedures may include,
without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable
interest on installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of
Dividend Equivalents in respect of installment or deferred payments. The
settlement of any Award may be accelerated, and cash paid in lieu of Shares in
connection with such settlement, in the discretion of the Board or upon
occurrence of one or more specified events (in addition to a Change in Control).

                  (e) Exemptions from Section 16(b) Liability. It is the intent
of the Company that the grant of any Awards to or other transaction by a
Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be exempt
under Rule 16b-3 (except for transactions acknowledged in writing to be
non-exempt by such Participant). Accordingly, if any provision of the Plan or
any Award Agreement does not comply with the requirements of Rule

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

16b-3 as then applicable to any such transaction, such provision shall be
construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to the applicable
requirements of Rule 16b-3 so that such Participant shall avoid liability under
Section 16(b).

                  (f) Share Certificates. All certificates for Shares delivered
under the terms of the Plan shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and
other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under federal or state
securities laws, rules and regulations thereunder, and the rules of any national
securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other automated quotation
system on which Shares are listed or quoted. The Board may cause a legend or
legends to be placed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to
such restrictions or any other restrictions or limitations that may be
applicable to Shares. In addition, during any period in which Awards or Shares
are subject to restrictions or limitations under the terms of the Plan or any
Award Agreement, or during any period during which delivery or receipt of an
Award or Shares has been deferred by the Board or a Participant, the Board may
require any Participant to enter into an agreement providing that certificates
representing Shares issuable or issued pursuant to an Award shall remain in the
physical custody of the Company or such other Person as the Committee may
designate.

         SECTION 8. PERFORMANCE AWARDS.

                  (a) Performance Conditions. The right of a Participant to
exercise or receive a grant or settlement of any Award, and the timing thereof,
may be subject to such performance conditions as may be specified by the Board.
The Board may use such business criteria and other measures of performance as it
may deem appropriate in establishing any performance conditions, and may
exercise its discretion to reduce or increase the amounts payable under any
Award subject to performance conditions, except as limited under Section 8(b)
hereof in the case of a Performance Award intended to qualify under Section
162(m) of the Code.

                  (b) Performance Awards Granted to Designated Covered
Employees. If the Board determines that a Performance Award to be granted to an
Eligible Person who is designated by the Board as likely to be a Covered
Employee should qualify as "performance-based compensation" for purposes of
Section 162(m) of the Code, the Board shall comply with the pre-established
performance goals and other terms set forth in this Section 8(b).

                           (i) Performance Goals Generally. The performance
goals for such Performance Awards shall consist of one or more business criteria
and a targeted level or levels of performance with respect to each of such
criteria, as specified by the Board consistent with this Section 8(b).
Performance goals shall be objective and shall otherwise meet the requirements
of Section 162(m) of the Code, including the requirement that the level or
levels of performance targeted by the Board result in the achievement of
performance goals being "substantially uncertain." The Board may determine that
such achievement of performance be granted, exercised and/or settled upon
achievement of any one performance goal or that two or more of the performance
goals must be achieved as a condition to grant, exercise and/or settlement of
such Performance Awards. Performance goals may differ for Performance Awards
granted to any one Participant or to different Participants.

                           (ii) Business Criteria. One or more of the following
business criteria for the Company, on a consolidated basis, and/or for specified
Subsidiaries or business units of the Company (except with respect to the total
stockholder return and earnings per share criteria), shall be used by the Board
in establishing performance goals for such Performance Awards: (1) earnings per
share; (2) revenues; (3) cash flow; (4) return on investment; (5) return on net
assets, assets, capital or equity; (6) economic value added; (7) operating
margin; (8) net income; (9) pretax earnings; (10) pretax earnings before
interest, depreciation and amortization; (11) pretax operating earnings after
interest expense and before extraordinary or special items; (12) operating
earnings; (13) total stockholder return; (14) price of the shares (and changes
thereof); and (15) any of the above goals as compared to the performance of a
published or special index deemed applicable by the Board including, but not
limited to, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index or a group of comparable
companies.

                           (iii) Performance Period; Timing for Establishing
Performance Goals. Achievement of performance goals in respect of such
Performance Awards shall be measured over a performance period of up to 10
years, a specified by the Board. Performance goals shall be established not
later than 90 days

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

after the beginning of any performance period applicable to such Performance
Awards or at such other date as may be required or permitted for
"performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code.

                           (iv)Performance Award Pool. The Board may establish a
Performance Award pool, which shall be an unfunded pool for purposes of
measuring performance of the Company in connection with Performance Awards. The
amount of such Performance Award pool shall be based upon the achievement of a
performance goal or goals based on one or more of the business criteria set
forth in Section 8(b)(ii) hereof during the given performance period, as
specified by the Board in accordance with Section 8(b)(iii) hereof. The Board
may specify the amount of the Performance Award pool as a percentage of any such
business criteria, a percentage thereof in excess of a threshold amount, or as
another amount which need not bear a strictly mathematical relationship to such
business criteria.

                           (v) Settlement of Performance Awards; Other Terms.
Settlement of such Performance Awards shall be in cash, Stock, other Awards or
other property, in the discretion of the Board. The Board may, in its
discretion, reduce the amount of a settlement otherwise to be made in connection
with such Performance Awards, but may not exercise discretion to increase any
such amount payable to a Covered Employee in respect of a Performance Award
subject to this Section 8(b). The Board shall specify the circumstances in which
such Performance Awards shall be paid or forfeited in the event of termination
of employment by the Participant prior to the end of a performance period or
settlement of Performance Awards.

                  (c) Written Determinations. All determinations by the Board as
to the establishment of performance goals, the amount of any Performance Award
pool or potential individual Performance Awards and as to the achievement of
performance goals relating to Performance Awards under Section 8(b) hereof shall
be made in writing in the case of any Award intended to qualify under Section
162(m) of the Code. The Board may not delegate any responsibility relating to
such Performance Awards.

                  (d) Status of Section 8(b) Awards under Section 162(m) of the
Code. It is the intent of the Company that Performance Awards under Section 8(b)
granted to persons who are designated by the Committee as likely to be Covered
Employees within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations
thereunder shall, if so designated by the Board, constitute "performance-based
compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code of the Code and
the regulations thereunder. The foregoing notwithstanding, because the Board
cannot determine with certainty whether a given participant will be a Covered
Employee with respect to a fiscal year that has not yet been completed, the term
Covered Employee as used herein shall mean only a person designated by the
Committee, at the time of grant of Performance Awards or an Annual Incentive
Award, as likely to be a Covered Employee with respect to that fiscal year. If
any provision of the Plan as in effect on the date of adoption or any agreements
relating to performance Awards or Annual Incentive Awards that are designated as
intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code does not comply or is
inconsistent with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, such provision
shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such
requirements.

         SECTION 9. CHANGE IN CONTROL.

                  (a) Acceleration of Exercisability and Lapse of Restrictions
and Cash-Out of Awards upon "Change in Control". In the event of a Change in
Control occurring after the Shares are Publicly Traded, subject only to the
applicable restrictions set forth in Section 11(a) hereof, the following
provisions shall apply unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, and:

                           (i) All outstanding Awards, pursuant to which the
Participant may have a right to exercise which was not previously exercisable
and vested, shall become fully exercisable and vested as of the time of the
Change in Control and shall remain exercisable and vested for the balance of the
stated term of such Award without regard to any termination of employment or
services by the Participant.

                           (ii) Unless the right to lapse of restrictions or
limitations is waived or deferred by a Participant prior to such lapse, all
restrictions (including risks of forfeiture and deferrals) on outstanding Awards
subject to restrictions or limitations under the Plan shall lapse and such
Awards shall be deemed fully vested as of the time of the Change in Control.

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

                           (iii) All performance criteria, goals and other
conditions to payment of Awards under which payments of cash, Shares or other
property are subject to conditions shall be deemed to be achieved or fulfilled
as of the time of the Change in Control.

                           (iv) For a period of 60 days following a Change in
Control, each Participant may elect to surrender any outstanding Award and to
receive, in full satisfaction therefor, a cash payment equal to the value of
such Award calculated on the basis of the Change in Control Price of any Shares
or the Fair Market Value of any property other than Shares relating to such
Award; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, or a
Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem therewith, the payment shall be based
upon the Fair Market Value of Shares on the date which the Change in Control
occurred; provided further, however, that in the case of a Change in Control
described in Section 9(b)(i)(C) or (D) hereof, the payment described in this
sentence shall not necessarily be made in cash but instead shall be made in the
same form (i.e., cash, Shares, other securities or combination thereof) as
holders of Shares receive in exchange for their Shares in the transaction that
results in the Change in Control. In the event that an Award is granted in
tandem with another Award such that the Participant's right to payment for such
Award is an alternative to payment of another Award, the Participant electing to
surrender any such tandem Award shall surrender all alternative Awards related
thereto and receive payment for the Award which produces the highest payment to
the Participant.

                   (b) Definition of Certain Terms. For purposes of this
Section 9, the following definitions, in addition to those set forth in Section
2, shall apply:

                           (i) "Change in Control" means and shall be deemed to
have occurred if, after the Shares are Publicly traded:

                                    (A) any  Person, other than the Company or a
Related Party, is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act, except that a Person shall be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of all Shares that such Person has the right to acquire
pursuant to any agreement or arrangement or upon exercise, conversation rights,
warrants, options or otherwise, without regard to the 60 day period referred to
in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of Voting
Securities representing 25% or more of the total voting power of all the then
outstanding Voting Securities, except that there shall be excluded from the
number of Voting Securities deemed to be beneficially owned by a Person a number
of Voting Securities representing not more than 10 percent of the then
outstanding voting power if such Person is (1) eligible to file a Schedule 13G
pursuant to Rule 13-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act with respect to Voting
Securities or (2) an underwriter who becomes the beneficial owner of more than
20% of the then outstanding Voting Securities pursuant to a firm commitment
underwriting agreement with the Company; or

                                    (B) the individuals who, as of the effective
date of the Plan, constitute the members of the Board together with those
directors who are first elected subsequent to such date and whose election by
the Board or nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was approved
by a vote of at least a majority of the members of the Board then still in
office who were either directors as of the effective date of the Plan or whose
election or nomination for election was previously so approved (the "Continuing
Directors"), cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the
members of the Board; or

                                    (C) the consummation of a merger,
consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of the Company, reverse spilt
of any class of Voting Securities, or in an acquisition of securities or assets
by the Company, other than (1) any such transaction which would result in at
least 75% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the
surviving entity outstanding immediately after such transaction being
beneficially owned by at least 75% of the holders of outstanding Voting
Securities immediately prior to the transaction, with the voting power of each
such continuing holder relative to other such continuing holders not
substantially altered in the transaction, or (2) any such transaction which
would result in a Related Party beneficially owning more than 50% of the voting
securities of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such
transaction; or

                                    (D) the stockholders of the Company approve
a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or
disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

the Company's assets other than (1) any such transaction which would result in a
Related Party owning or acquiring more than 50 percent of the assets owned by
the Company immediately prior to the transaction, or (2) a sale or disposition
immediately after which such assets will be owned directly or indirectly by the
stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership of the common stock of the Company immediately prior to such sale or
disposition.

                                    (E) any other event occurs which the Board
determines, in its discretion, would materially alter the structure of the
Company or its ownership.

                           (ii) "Change in Control Price" means, with respect to
a Share, the higher of (A) the highest Fair Market Value of the Shares at any
time during the 60 calendar days preceding and the 60 days following the Change
in Control; or (B) the highest price paid per Share in a transaction which
either (1) results in a Change in Control or (2) would be consummated but for
another transaction which results in a Change in Control and, if it were
consummated, would result in a Change in Control. With respect to clause (B) in
the preceding sentence, the "price paid" will be equal to the sum of (1) the
face amount of any portion of the consideration consisting of cash or cash
equivalents and (2) the Fair Market Value of any portion of the consideration
consisting or real or personal property other than cash or cash equivalents, as
established by an independent appraiser selected by the Board.

                            (iii) "Related Party" means (A) a Subsidiary  of the

                           (iv) "Voting Securities or Security" means any
securities of the Company which carry the right to vote generally in the
election of directors.

         SECTION 10. AMENDMENTS TO AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN AND AWARDS. The
Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan or the
Committee's authority to grant Awards under the Plan without the consent of
stockholders or Participants, except that any amendment, alteration, suspension,
discontinuation or termination shall be subject to approval of the Company's
stockholders not later than the annual meeting next following such Board action
if stockholder approval is required by any federal or state law or regulation or
the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market or on any national securities exchange,
stock market or automated quotation system on which the Shares are then listed,
traded or quoted, or if the Board in its discretion determines that obtaining
such stockholder approval is for any reason advisable; provided, however, that,
without the consent of the Participant, no amendment, alteration, suspension,
discontinuation or termination of the Plan may materially and adversely affect
the rights of such Participant under any Award theretofore granted to him. The
Board may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or amend,
alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate, any Award theretofore granted,
prospectively or retrospectively; provided, however, that, without the consent
of the Participant, no amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or
termination of any Award may materially and adversely affect the rights of such
Participant under any Award theretofore granted to him.

         SECTION 11. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

                  (a) Compliance with Legal and Other Requirements. The Company
may, to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the Board, postpone the
issuance or delivery of Shares or payment of other benefits under any Award
until completion of such registration or qualification of such Shares (or
exemption therefrom) or other required action under any federal or state law,
rule or regulation, listing or other required action with respect to the Nasdaq
Stock Market or any national securities exchange, automated quotation system or
any other stock exchange or stock market upon which the Shares or other
securities of the Company are listed or quoted, or compliance with any other
obligation of the Company, as the Board may consider appropriate, and may
require any Participant to make such representations, furnish such information
and comply with or be subject to such other conditions as it may consider
appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of Shares or payment of
other benefits in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations,
listing requirements, or other obligations. The foregoing notwithstanding, in
connection with a Change in Control occurring after the Common Stock is Publicly

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

Traded, the Company shall take or cause to be taken no action, and shall
undertake or permit to arise no legal or contractual obligation, that results or
would result in any postponement of the issuance or delivery of Stock or payment
of benefits under any Award or the imposition of any other conditions on such
issuance, delivery or payment, to the extent that such postponement of other
condition would represent a greater burden on a Participant than existed on the
90th day preceding the Change in Control.

                  (b) Transferability. No Award granted under the Plan, nor any
other rights acquired by a Participant under the Plan, shall be assignable or
transferable by a Participant, other than by a will or the laws of descent and
distribution, or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined
under the Code or Title I of the Board of Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
("QDRO"), and each such Award or right shall be exercisable during the
Participant's lifetime only by the Participant or, if admissible under
applicable law, by the Participant's guardian or legal representative or a
transferee receiving such Award pursuant to a QDRO; provided, however, that the
Board may, in its sole discretion, authorize all or a portion of an Award to be
transferable by the Participant, but only to (i) any immediate family members of
the Participant, (ii) any trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such
immediate family members, or (iii) a partnership or limited liability company in
which such immediate family members are the only partners or members, provided
that (A) there may be no consideration for any such transfer, other than an
interest in a transferee's partnership, limited liability company or other
similar entity, (B) the Award Agreement related to the Award must expressly
provide for such transferability in a manner consistent with this section 11(b),
(C) the Board, in granting an Award, may impose additional restrictions on
transfer or prohibit such transfer entirely, (D) following any transfer, any
such Award shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were
applicable immediately prior to transfer, provided that for purposes of the
Plan, any reference to a Participant shall be deemed to refer to the transferee,
(E) in the event of a transferee's death, an Award may be exercised by the
personal representative of the transferee's estate or, if no personal
representative has been appointed, by the successor or successors in interest
determined under the transferee's will or under the applicable laws of descent
and distribution. Following any such transfer, any transferee shall continue to
be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior
to transfer, provided for purposes of Section 11(b) hereof, the term
"Participant" shall be deemed to refer to the transferee, and any event of
termination of employment of the Participant as set forth in the Award Agreement
or in this Plan shall continue to be applied with respect to the original
Participant, following which the Award shall be exercisable by the transferee
only to the extent, and for the period specified by, the Award Agreements.

                  (c) No Rights to Awards; No Stockholder Rights. Nothing in the
Plan shall be construed as giving any Participant, Eligible Person or other
Person any right to claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, or to be
treated uniformly with other Participants and Eligible Persons. No Award shall
confer on any Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company
unless and until Shares are in fact issued to such Participant in connection
with the terms of such Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with
each grant of Restricted Stock hereunder, the applicable Award shall specify if
and to what extent the Participant shall not be entitled to the rights of a
stockholder in respect of such Restricted Stock.

                  (d) Withholding. The Company or any Subsidiary is authorized
to withhold from any Award granted or any payment due under the Plan, including
from a distribution of Shares, amounts of withholding and other taxes due with
respect to an Award, its exercise or any payment thereunder, and to take such
other action as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable to enable the
Company and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding
taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Awards. This authority shall
include authority to withhold or receive Shares, Awards or other property and to
make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of such tax obligations.

                  (e) No Right to Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan or
any Award Agreement shall confer, and no grant of an Award shall be construed
as, (i) conferring, upon any Participant or any Eligible Person, any right to
continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or (ii)
interfering in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to (A)
terminate any Participant's or Eligible Person's employment or service at any
time or (B) increase or decrease the compensation of any Participant or Eligible
Person from the rate in existence at the time of granting of an Award, except as
may be expressly provided in any Award Agreement or other compensation
arrangement.

                  (f) Unfunded Status of Awards; Creation of Trusts. The Plan is
intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive and deferred
compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant
pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award shall give any
such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured
creditor of the Company; provided, however, that the Board may authorize the
creation of trusts or make other arrangements to meet the Company's obligations
under the Plan to deliver cash, Shares or other property pursuant to any Award,
which trusts or other arrangements shall be consistent with the "unfunded"
status of the Plan unless the Board otherwise determines.

                  (g) No Limit on Other Compensatory Arrangements Nothing
contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from adopting
or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements (which may
include, without limitation, employment agreements with executives and
arrangements which relate to Awards under the Plan), and such arrangements may
be either generally applicable only in specific cases.

                  (h) No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued
or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The Board shall determine
whether cash, other Awards or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of
fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall
be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

                  (i) Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction
and effect of the Plan, any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and any
Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (without
regard to provisions governing conflicts of laws) and applicable federal law.

                  (j)      Severability.

                           (i) If any  provision  of the Plan or any  Award is
or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any
Award under any law deemed amended to conform to applicable laws or, if it
cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the
Board, materially altering the intent of the Plan, it shall be deleted and the
remainder of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however,
that, unless otherwise determined by the Board, the provision shall not be
construed or deemed amended or deleted with respect to any Participant whose
rights and obligations under the Plan are not subject to the law of such
jurisdiction or the law deemed applicable by the Board.

                           (ii) If any of the terms or provisions of the Plan
conflict with the requirements of applicable law or applicable rules and
regulations thereunder, including the requirements of Section 162(m) of the
Code, Rule 16b-3 and/or Section 422A of the Code, then such terms or provisions
shall be deemed inoperative to the extent necessary to avoid the conflict with
applicable law, or applicable rules and regulations, without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof. With respect to ISOs, if the Plan does not contain
any provision required to be included herein under Section 422A of the Code,
such provisions shall be deemed to be incorporated herein with the same force
and effect as if such provision had been set out at length herein; provided,
further, that to the extent any Option which is intended to qualify as an ISO
cannot so qualify, such Option, to that extent, shall be deemed to be a
Nonqualified Stock Option for all purposes of the Plan.

                  (k) Rule 16b-3 Compliance. With respect to persons subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under the Plan are intended to
comply with all applicable terms and conditions of Rule 16b-3 and any successor
provisions. To the extent that any provision of the Plan or action by the Board
fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by
law and deemed advisable by the Board.

                  (l) Headings. Headings are given to the sections and
subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such
headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction
or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

                  (m) Award Agreements. Each Award hereunder shall be evidenced
by an Award Agreement which shall be delivered to the Participant and shall
specify the terms and conditions of the Award and any rules

                                       14
<PAGE>   15

applicable thereto. Such terms may include, but are not limited to, the effect
on such Award of the death, retirement or other termination of employment of a
Participant and the effect, if any, of a change in control of the Company.

                  (n) Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a
member of the Committee, if any, or of the Board shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability or expense
that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him in connection with or
resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which he may be made a
party or in which he may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to
act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him in
settlement thereof, with the Company's approval, or paid by him in satisfaction
of any judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding against him, provided he
shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend
the same before he undertakes to handle and defend it on his own behalf. The
foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive and shall be
independent of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be
entitled under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, by
contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise.

                  (o) Construction. For purposes of the Plan, the following
rules of construction shall apply: (i) the word "or" is disjunctive but not
necessarily exclusive; (ii) words in the singular include the plural; words in
the plural include the singular; and words in the neuter gender include the
masculine and feminine genders; and (iii) words in the masculine or feminine
gender include the other and neuter genders.

         SECTION 12. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION.

                  (a) Effective Date. The Plan shall become effective as of
November 1, 1999, the date the Plan was adopted and approved by the sole
stockholder of the Company.

                  (b) Termination. Awards may not be granted under the Plan
after October 31, 2009. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an
applicable Award Agreement, any Award granted hereunder may, and the authority
of the Board to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue or terminate any such
Award or to waive any conditions or rights under any such Award shall, continue
after October 31, 2009.

                    Dated as of _____________, 2000

                              Exhibit 4.2
<PAGE>
     WARRANT AGREEMENT, dated as of _____________, 2000, by and between
n-GEN SOLUTIONS.COM, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
CORPORATE STOCK TRANSFER, INC., as warrant and transfer agent
(hereinafter called the "Warrant Agent").

     WHEREAS, the Company proposes to issue and sell to the public up to
1,600,000 shares of Common Stock, $.0001 par value (hereinafter referred to
as "Common Stock" or "Common Shares"), and up to 1,600,000 Redeemable
Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase a share of Common Stock at $5.50
per share (the "Warrant") (including the underwriter's over-allotment
option granted to Barron Chase Securities, Inc. (the "Underwriter"), (the
"Public Offering"); and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the
Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in connection with the
issuance, registration, transfers, exchanges and exercise of the Warrants;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements
herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     SECTION 1.     APPOINTMENT OF WARRANT AGENT.  The Company hereby
appoints the Warrant Agent to act as Agent for the Company in accordance
with the instructions hereinafter in this Agreement set forth, and the
Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

     SECTION 2.     FORM OF WARRANT.  The text of the Warrant and of the
form of election to purchase shares as is printed on the reverse thereof as
now outstanding, is substantially as set forth respectively in Exhibit A
attached hereto.  The per share Warrant Price (as hereinafter defined) and
the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to
adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, all as hereinafter
provided.  The Warrants shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the
manual or facsimile signature of the present or any future Chairman,
President, or Vice President of the Company, under its corporate seal,
affixed or in facsimile, attested by the manual or facsimile signature of
the present or any future Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company.

     The Warrants will be dated as of the date of issuance by the Warrant
Agent either upon initial issuance or upon transfer or exchange.

     SECTION 3.     COUNTERSIGNATURE AND REGISTRATION.  The Warrant Agent
shall maintain books for the transfer and registration of Warrants.  Upon
the initial issuance of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall issue and
register the Warrants in the names of the respective holders thereof.  The
Warrants shall be countersigned manually or by facsimile by the Warrant
Agent (or by any successor to the Warrant Agent then acting as warrant
agent under this Agreement) and shall not be valid for any purpose unless
so countersigned.  Warrants may be so countersigned, however, by the
Warrant Agent (or by its successor as warrant agent) and be delivered by
the Warrant Agent, notwithstanding that the persons whose manual or
facsimile signatures appear thereon as proper officers of the Company shall
have ceased to be such officers at the time of such countersignature or
delivery.

                                   -2-
<PAGE>
     SECTION 4.     TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES.  The Warrant Agent shall
transfer, from time to time, any outstanding Warrants upon the books to be
maintained by the Warrant Agent for that purpose, upon surrender thereof
for transfer properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instructions
for transfer.  Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant shall be issued to the
transferee and the surrendered Warrant shall be delivered by the Warrant
Agent.  Warrants so cancelled shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to
the Company from time to time upon request.  Warrants may be exchanged at
the option of the holder thereof, when surrendered at the office of the
Warrant Agent, for another Warrant, or other Warrants of different
denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to
purchase a like number of Common Shares.

     SECTION 5.     RIGHTS OF REDEMPTION BY COMPANY.  The Warrants are
redeemable by the Company at a price of $.05 per Warrant commencing on the
Effective Date (as defined in the Prospectus), upon 30 days' prior written
notice if the closing bid or trading price of the Company's Common Stock,
as applicable, over 30 consecutive trading days ending within 15 days of
the notice of redemption of the Warrants, averages in excess of $10.00.
Prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the Warrants will not
be redeemable by the Company without the written consent of the
Underwriter.  Any Warrants, so called, and not either converted or tendered
back to the Company by the end of the date specified in the Notice of Call,
will be entitled only to the redemption price of such Warrants, if
redeemed, and the holder thereof shall have forfeited his right to so exercise.

     SECTION 6.     EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.  Subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, each registered holder of Warrants shall have the right
which may be exercised through ____________, 2005 commencing from the
Effective Date and ending at the close of business on __________, 2005 to
purchase from the Company (and the Company shall issue and sell to such
registered holder of Warrants) the number of fully paid and non-assessable
Common Shares specified in such Warrants, upon surrender to the Company at
the office of the Warrant Agent of such Warrants, with the form of election
to purchase duly filled in and signed, and upon payment to the order of the
Company of the Warrant Price, determined in accordance with Sections 10 and
11 herein, for the number of shares in respect of which such Warrants are
then exercised.  Payment of such Warrant Price shall be made in cash or by
certified check or bank draft or postal or express money order payable, in
United States dollars, to the order of the Company.  No adjustment shall be
made for any dividends on any Common Shares issuable upon exercise of a
Warrant.  Subject to Section 7, upon such surrender of Warrants, and
payment of the Warrant Price as aforesaid, the Company shall issue and
cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the written
order of the registered holder of such Warrants and in such name or names
as such registered holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for
the largest number of whole Common Shares so purchased upon the exercise of
such Warrants.  The Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of
a share of Common Stock or make any cash or other adjustment except as
provided in Section 12 herein, in respect of any fraction of a Common Share
otherwise issuable upon such surrender.  Such certificate or certificates
shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be
named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such
shares as of the date of the surrender of such Warrants and payment of the
Warrant Price as aforesaid provided, however, that if, at the date of
surrender of such Warrants and payment of such Warrant Price, the transfer
books for the

                                   -3-
<PAGE>
Common Shares or other class of stock purchasable upon the exercise of such
Warrants shall be closed, the certificates for the shares in respect of
which such Warrants are then exercised shall be issuable as of the date on
which such books shall be oened and until such date the Company shall be
under no duty to deliver any certificate for such shares; provided,
further, however, that the transfer books aforesaid, unless otherwise
required by law or by applicable rule of any national securities exchange,
shall not be closed at any one time for a period longer than 20 days.  The
rights of purchase represented by the Warrants shall be exercisable, at the
election of the registered holders thereof, either as an entirety or from
time to time for part only of the shares specified therein and, in the
event that any Warrant is exercised in respect of less than all of the
shares specified therein at any time prior to the date of expiration of the
Warrant, a new Warrant or Warrants will be issued to such registered holder
for the remaining number of shares specified in the Warrant so surrendered,
and the Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to countersign and
to deliver the required new Warrants pursuant to the provisions of this
Section during the Warrant exercise period, and the Company, whenever
requested by the Warrant Agent, will supply the Warrant Agent with Warrants
duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.

     SECTION 7.     PAYMENT OF TAXES.  The Company will pay any documentary
stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Common Shares issuable
upon the exercise of Warrants; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of any certificates for
Common Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of
Warrants in respect of which such shares are issued, and in such case
neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be required to issue or
deliver any certificate for Common Shares or any Warrant until the person
requesting the same has paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has
established to the Company's satisfaction that such tax has been paid.

     SECTION 8.     MUTILATED OR MISSING WARRANTS.  In case any of the
Warrants shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may in
its discretion issue and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver in
exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated
Warrant, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or
destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing an equivalent right
or interest, but only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company
and the Warrant Agent of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant
and indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory to them.  Applicants for
such substitute Warrants shall also comply with such other reasonable
regulations and pay such reasonable charges as the Company or the Warrant
Agent may prescribe.

     SECTION 9.     RESERVATION OF COMMON SHARES.  There have been
reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved, out of the
authorized and unissued Common Shares, a number of shares sufficient to
provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the
Warrants, and the Transfer Agent for the Common Shares and every subsequent
transfer agent for any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon
the exercise of any of the rights of purchase aforesaid are hereby
irrevocable authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of
authorized and unissued shares as shall be requisite for such purpose.  The
Company agrees that all Common Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants
shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Common
Shares, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable

                                   -4-
<PAGE>
and listed on any national securities exchange upon which the other Common
Shares are then listed.  The Company will file such Registration
Statement(s) pursuant  it to deliver to each person exercising a Warrant,
a Prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 11(a) (3) of such
Securities Act and otherwise complying therewith, and will deliver such a
Prospectus to each such person; PROVIDED, that the Company shall only be
obligated to use its reasonable, good faith efforts to have any such
registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and to have such reserved shares qualified for delivery to
holders of the Warrants under applicable state securities laws, and to the
extent that the Company has used such prescribed efforts but has been
unsuccessful in obtaining any such registration(s) or qualification(s), it
shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by the Company.  The
Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the Transfer Agent
for the Common Shares and with every subsequent transfer agent for any
shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the
rights of purchase represented by the Warrants.  The Warrant Agent is
hereby irrevocably authorized to requisition from time to time such
Transfer Agent for stock certificates required to honor outstanding
Warrants.  The Company will supply such Transfer Agent with duly executed
stock certificates for such purpose.  All Warrants surrendered in the
exercise of the rights thereby evidenced shall be cancelled by the Warrant
Agent and shall thereafter be delivered to the Company, and such cancelled
Warrants shall constitute sufficient evidence of the number of Common
Shares which have been issued upon the exercise of such Warrants.  Promptly
after the date of expiration of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall
certify to the Company the total aggregate amount of Warrants then
outstanding, and thereafter no Common Shares shall be subject to
reservation in respect to such Warrants which shall have expired.

     SECTION 10.    WARRANT PRICE.  The Warrant Price at which Common Stock
shall be purchasable shall be $5.50 per whole share.  No fractional shares
shall be issued.

     SECTION 11.    ADJUSTMENTS.  Subject and pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 11, the Warrant Price and number of Common Shares subject to
this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth
hereinafter.

          (a)  If the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding
     Common Shares by recapitalization, reclassification, split-up thereof,
     or other such issuance without additional consideration, the Warrant
     Price immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately
     decreased, and, if the Company shall at any time combine the
     outstanding Common Shares by recapitalization, reclassification or
     combination thereof, the Warrant Price immediately prior to such
     combination shall be proportionately increased.  Any such adjustment
     to the Warrant Price, or the corresponding adjustment to the number of
     Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of Warrants, shall become
     effective at the close of business on the record date for such
     subdivision or combination.

          (b)  In the event the Company adopts a resolution for the
     liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company's business, the
     Company will give written notice of such adoption of a resolution to
     the registered holders of the Warrants.  Thereupon all liquidation and
     dissolution rights under the Warrants will terminate at the end of
     thirty (30) days from the date of the notice to the extent not
     exercised within those thirty (30) days.

                                   -5-
<PAGE>
          (c)  If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the
     Common Stock of the Company (other than a change in par value), or
     consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation (other
     than a merger with a subsidiary in which the Company is the surviving
     entity), or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to
     another corporation, shall be effected in such a way that holders of
     Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash, or
     assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a
     condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
     merger or sale, the Company or such successor or purchasing
     corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Warrant Agent
     a supplemental Warrant Agreement providing that each registered holder
     of a Warrant shall have the right thereafter and until the expiration
     date to exercise such Warrant for the kind and amount of stock,
     securities, cash or assets receivable upon such reorganization,
     reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale by a holder of the
     number of shares of Common Stock for the purchase of which such
     Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such
     reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale,
     subject to adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
     practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 11.

          (d)  Upon any adjustment of the Warrant Price as hereinabove
     provided, the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of a
     Warrant shall be changed to the number of shares determined by
     dividing (i) the aggregate Warrant Price payable for the purchase of
     all shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to
     such adjustment by (ii) the Warrant Price per share in effect
     immediately after such adjustment.

          (e)  Anything hereinabove to the contrary notwithstanding, no
     adjustment of the Warrant Price or in the number of Common Shares
     subject to any Warrant shall be made upon the issuance or sale by the
     Company of any Common Shares pursuant to the exercise of any warrants
     which may be issued by the Company pursuant to any underwriting
     agreement between the Company and any underwriter (including the
     Underwriter), pursuant to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon
     exercise of any of the Warrants, pursuant to any existing stock option
     plan or any such plan which may be adopted by the Company, pursuant to
     any merger, reorganization, consolidation, acquisition or other
     corporate transaction, or otherwise in connection with any issuance of
     securities by the Company, except as specifically identified herein.

          (f)  No adjustment in the Warrant Price shall be required under
     this Section 11 unless such adjustment would require an increase or
     decrease in such price of at least 10%; provided, however, that any
     adjustments which by reason of the foregoing are not required at the
     time to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account and
     included in determining the amount of any subsequent adjustment; and
     provided further, however, that in case the Company shall at any time
     subdivide or combine the outstanding Common Shares or issue any
     additional Common Shares as a dividend, said amount of 10% per share
     shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a
     combination or decreased in the case of a subdivision or stock
     dividend so as to appropriately reflect the same.

                                   -6-
<PAGE>
          (g)  On the effective date of any new Warrant Price the number of
     shares as to which any Warrant may be exercised shall be increased or
     decreased so that the total sum payable to the Company on the exercise
     of such Warrant shall remain constant.

          (h)  The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any
     change pursuant to this Article, and Warrants issued after such change
     may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares as is
     stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to this agreement.
     However, the Company may at any time in its sole discretion (which
     shall be conclusive) make any change in the form of Warrant that the
     Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance
     thereof; and any Warrant thereafter issued or countersigned, whether
     in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise,
     may be in the form as so changed.

     SECTION 12.    FRACTIONAL INTEREST.  The Company shall not be required
to issue fractions of Common Shares on the exercise of Warrants or any cash
or other adjustment in respect of such fractions of Common Shares.  If any
fraction of a Common Share would, except for the provisions of this Section
12, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrant (or specified portions
thereof), the Company shall issue such number of shares of Common Stock to
which the Warrant holder is entitled, rounded up to the nearest number of
whole shares.

     SECTION 13.    NOTICES TO WARRANTHOLDERS.

          (a)  Upon any adjustment of the Warrant Price and the number of
     shares issuable on exercise of a Warrant, then and in each such case
     the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent,
     which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such
     adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of
     shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant,
     setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the
     facts upon which such calculation is based.

          (b)  In case at any time:

               (i)  the Company shall pay any dividends payable in stock
          upon its Common Stock or make any distribution (other than
          regular cash dividends) to the holders of its Common Stock;

               (ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to
          the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of
          any class or other rights;

               (iii)     there shall be any capital reorganization or
          reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or
          consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or
          substantially all of its assets to, another corporation; or

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

                                   -7-
<PAGE>
     then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give written
     notice to all Warrant holders of record not fewer than 10 days' prior
     to the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record
     shall be taken for (i) such dividend, distribution, or subscription
     rights, or (ii) such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
     merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up shall take
     place, as the case may be.  Such notice shall also specify the date as
     of which the holders of Common Stock of record shall participate in
     such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights, or shall be
     entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other
     property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
     consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up,
     as the case may be.  Failure to give or publish such notice, or any
     defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any of
     the matters set forth in this Section 13 inclusive.

          (c)  The Company shall cause copies of all financial statements
     and reports, proxy statements and other documents as it shall send to
     its stockholders to be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, on
     the date of mailing to such stockholders, to each registered holder of
     Warrants at his address appearing on the Warrant register as of the
     record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such
     documents.

     SECTION 14.    DISPOSITION OF PROCEEDS ON EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.

          (a)  The Warrant Agent shall forward promptly to the Company,
     with respect to Warrants exercised, the funds which will be deposited
     in a special account in a bank designated by the Company for the
     benefit of the Company, for the purchase of Common Shares through the
     exercise of such Warrants.

          (b)  The Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this Agreement
     available for inspection by holders of Warrants during normal business
     hours.

     SECTION 15.    MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OR CHANGE OF NAME OF WARRANT

Warrant Agent by any merger or consolidation or otherwise to which the
Warrant Agent shall be a party, shall be the successor Warrant Agent
hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that such corporation
would be eligible for appointment as a successor Warrant Agent under the
provisions of Section 17 of this Agreement.  In case at the time such
successor to the Warrant Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this
Agreement, any of the Warrants shall have been countersigned but not
delivered, any such successor to the Warrant Agent may adopt the
countersignature of the original Warrant Agent and deliver such Warrants so
countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Warrants shall not have
been countersigned, any successor to the Warrant Agent may countersign such
Warrants either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name
of the successor Warrant Agent; and in all such cases such Warrants shall
have the full force provided in the Warrants and in this Agreement.

     In case at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and
at such time any of the Warrants shall have been countersigned but not
delivered, the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior
name and deliver Warrants so countersigned; and in case at that time

                                   -8-
<PAGE>
any of the Warrants shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent
may countersign such Warrants either in its prior name or in its changed
name; and in all such cases such Warrants shall have the full force
provided in the Warrants and in this Agreement.

     SECTION 16.    DUTIES OF WARRANT AGENT.  The Warrant Agent undertakes
the duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the following
terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and the holders of
Warrants, by their acceptance thereof, shall be bound:

          (a)  The statements of fact and recitals contained herein and in
     the Warrants shall be taken as statements of the Company, and the
     Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility for the correctness of any of
     the same except such as describe the Warrant Agent or action taken or
     to be taken by it.  The Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility with
     respect to the distribution of the Warrants except as herein expressly
     provided.

          (b)  The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure
     of the Company to comply with any of the covenants contained in this
     Agreement or in the Warrants to be complied with by the Company.

          (c)  The Warrant Agent may consult at any time with counsel
     satisfactory to it (who may be counsel for the Company) and the
     Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the
     Company or to any holder of any Warrant in respect of any action
     taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
     accordance with the opinion or the written advice of such counsel.

          (d)  The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility
     to the Company or to any holder of any Warrant for any action taken in
     reliance on any notice, resolution, waiver, consent, order,
     certificate, or other paper, document or instrument reasonably
     believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or
     presented by the proper party or parties.

          (e)  The Company agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent reasonable
     compensation for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent in the
     execution of this Agreement, to reimburse the Warrant Agent for all
     expenses, taxes and governmental charges and other charges of any kind
     and nature incurred by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this
     Agreement and to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless
     against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and
     reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant
     Agent in the execution of this Agreement except as a result of the
     Warrant Agent's negligence or bad faith.

          (f)  The Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to institute
     any action, suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action
     likely to involve expense unless the Company or one or more registered
     holders of Warrants shall furnish the Warrant Agent with reasonable
     security and indemnity for any costs and expenses which may be
     incurred, but this provision shall not affect the power of the Warrant
     Agent to take such action as the Warrant Agent may consider proper,
     whether with or without any such security or indemnity.

                                   -9-
<PAGE>
     All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Warrants
     may be enforced by the Warrant Agent without the possession of any of
     the Warrants or the production thereof at any trial or other
     proceeding relative thereto, and any such action, suit or proceeding
     instituted by the Warrant Agent shall be brought in its name as
     Warrant Agent, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable
     benefit of the registered holders of the Warrants, as their respective
     rights or interests may appear.

          (g)  The Warrant Agent and any stockholder, director, officer,
     partner or employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any
     of the Warrants or other securities of the Company or become pecuniary
     interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested,
     or contract with or lend money to otherwise act as fully and freely as
     though it were not Warrant Agent under this Agreement.  Nothing herein
     shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for
     the Company or for any other legal entity.

          (h)  The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent and
     not in a ministerial capacity, and its duties shall be determined
     solely by the provisions hereof.  The Warrant Agent shall not be
     liable for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in
     connection with this Agreement except for its own negligence or bad faith.

          (i)  The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights
     or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either
     itself or by or through its attorneys, agents or employees, and the
     Warrant Agent shall not be answerable or accountable for any act,
     default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorneys, agents, or
     employees or for any loss to the Company resulting from such neglect
     or misconduct, provided reasonable care has been exercised in the
     selection and continued employment thereof.

          (j)  Any request, direction, election, or order or demand of the
     Company shall be sufficiently evidenced by an instrument signed in the
     name of the Company by its President or a Vice President or its
     Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or its Treasurer or an Assistant
     Treasurer (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein
     specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors
     may be evidenced to the Warrant Agent by a copy thereof certified by
     the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company.

     SECTION 17.    CHANGE OF WARRANT AGENT.  The Warrant Agent may resign
and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement by giving to the
Company notice in writing, and to the holders of the Warrants notice by
mailing such notice to holders at their addresses appearing on the Warrant
register, of such resignation, specifying a date when such resignation
shall take effect.  The Warrant Agent may be removed by like notice to the
Warrant Agent from the Company and by like mailing of notice to the holders
of the Warrants.  If the Warrant Agent shall resign or be removed or shall
otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor
to the Warrant Agent.  If the Company shall fail to make such appointment
within a period of 30 days after such removal or after it has been notified
in writing of such resignation or in capacity by the resigning or
incapacitated Warrant Agent or by the registered holder of a Warrant (who
shall, with such notice, submit his Warrant for inspection by the Company),
then the registered holder of any

                                  -10-
<PAGE>
Warrant may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent.  Any successor warrant
agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a bank,
or trust company or active transfer agent, in good standing, incorporated
under the laws of a state of the United States of America.  After
appointment, the successor warrant agent shall be vested with the same
powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally
named as Warrant Agent without further act or deed; but the former Warrant
Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor warrant agent all
cancelled Warrants, records and property at the time held by it hereunder,
and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed
necessary for the purpose.  Failure to file or mail any notice provided by
this Section, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality
or validity of the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent or the
appointment of thesuccessor warrant agent, as the case may be.

     SECTION 18.    IDENTITY OF TRANSFER AGENT.  Forthwith upon the
appointment of any Transfer Agent for the Common shares or of any
subsequent transfer agent for Common Shares or other shares of the
Company's capital stock issuable upon exercise of the rights of purchase
represented by the Warrants, the Company will file with the Warrant Agent
a statement setting forth the name and address of such Transfer Agent.  The
Warrant Agent hereby acknowledges that it is, at the time of execution
hereof, the Transfer Agent, and waives any statement required herein with
respect thereto.

     SECTION 19.    NOTICES.  Any notice pursuant to this Agreement to be
given or made by the Warrant Agent or by the registered holder of any
Warrant to or on the Company shall be sufficiently given or made if sent by
